Sparkly Baseball (no....not Twilight related)

For all the Twilight fans, this card is NOT for you...LOL. (Although I DO have some Twilight inspired stamps that are just waiting to get inked and maybe I can get to that this weekend in between watching NEW MOON again and finishing up the prep work for my stamp camp on 3/26. NEW MOON comes out on DVD Saturday - wooo hooo!)

Anyhow, I had to make a quick baseball themed card last night and this is what I came up with. I printed a cute baseball playing bear, accented him with glitter glue, added a sentiment and some punched stars and mounted it with a coordinating background paper. The only thing that took "time" was waiting for the glitter glue to dry.

Cards from Kits

This past Christmas I received one of those "all in 1 card kits". You know the kind...there are prefolded cards, envies, some embellishments, stickers etc. Well, I noticed that my bag of cards that I pull from was running low on birthday cards so I figured I would crack open the kit and create some quick cards. All told, it took me longer to find a punch or two and locate some extra ribbon than it did to make these cards - LOL. I grabbed my box of scraps (which included several images ready to use) and made only a couple of mats and kept everything very basic, just accenting with sponging and glitter on some images. Some of the sentiments came with the card kit and a few were stamped. I had the cards done in less than 1 1/2 hours. It was simple and fast. Enjoy and hope it inspires you!
