STS15: B-ball themed Thank You card

Played along with Seize the Sketch #15.

I needed some thank-you cards for my boys' coaches.

I cut the basketball on my Cameo. and layered about 4 balls for "umph".

The banner stamp and sentiment are by Lawn Fawn and raised with foam.

I used a Fiskars punch on the edge. 

 Here's the Sketch:

Random Cards

Very little crafting since I went back to work after being home for 10 years, but I have a few to share that I have made for specific occasions. 

Lego card for boy's birthday:

 

Skylander card for another boy's birthday.  

I took the image off the internet.  

My son came up with the sentiment. 

 The character's name is "Crusher".

 

I made two of these for my son's coaches this fall.

 

Hope to see you again soon,

Soccer themed card

I feel like I am knee deep in soccer pictures from last fall.  

My old camera died back then and I purchased a new one....

Lots of pictures were taken and developed so I could see the results, how they looked when I blew them up, etc... LOTS..
Now I am trying to go through them to make one two-page layout... hard to narrow them down!

Anyway, I am sharing a card I made to thank the Little Kicker coaches for their time.
The team was lime green so I wanted to use that color in the card.

I cut the soccer ball from the Sports Mania Cricut cartridge.

Other Supplies:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn

Twine: the Twinery

Punch: EK

Stars Embossing folder

Basketball Cupcakes and Stand

Going a different direction today and sharing a little project 

I made for my niece's graduation party.

I offered to make the cupcakes for the event and decided to make basketballs to represent the years she has played and her future games in college.

 Here's the final result.

I found a 3 tier cupcake stand by Wilton at Hobby Lobby.

I assembled it and took it the craft room to get it all gussied up for the event!

I cut 1" border strips out of black paper and then also used some leftover basketball border strips from Michael's by Recollections.  I think the letter stickers are from Hobby Lobby. 

The front view.

The back view.
The stars were cut with a Sizzix die in my Cuttlebug. 

I added a few gems here and there.

 

I saw this basketball cupcake on Pinterest.

I covered mine with orange icing (Wilton buttercream) and then
I dipped it in orange sprinkles.

The piping was done with Wilton Tip #5

WM 75: soccer treats

Hi.

Today I am sharing some treats containers I made for the soccer team.

The sour cream containers were all the rage over

on Two Peas in a Bucket so I decided to try them.

So cute and VERY easy!

Here's the YouTube video by "Dawn" with the instructions.

The tags were made with circle punches and attached with maraschino twine.

I stamped the "you rock" in the center and then kind of off-stamped the ball for effect.

I put 2 chocolate soccer balls in each

and some M & Ms for a little noise when the boys shook them.

 

Supplies:

Stamps:  "you rock" is from Lawn Fawn's "Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum" (see below... this set is so darn versatile!) and the soccer ball on the tag is by Inkadoo.

Papers:  Hobby Lobby racks

Ink: Memento

Other: Twine, paper crimper

I am submitting this project in Wee Memories challenge #75:
gifts, tags and boxes.

If you decide to make some, let me know. 

I'd love to see other versions!

Thanks for looking,

Kelly
