Welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop!  Please be sure to visit everyone’s blog  to see the great projects they are sharing with you this week.  My project today features the Hey Sports Fan Designer Series Paper.  We are working with a Sketch Challenge this week.  Here is my card:

And here is the sketch we’re using:

The Hey Sports Fan Designer Series Paper has many great baseball themed patterns.  With practices and games starting back this month, it’s perfect to cheer someone on!

To make this card, begin by adhering a panel of the DSP with the woodgrain pattern to the front of a Night of Navy card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Next adhere a panel of the Hey Sports Fan DSP to a mat of Poppy Parade card stock.  Wrap a length of Navy twine from the Fan Baker’s Twine combo pack around the layer three times, securing the ends on the back with tape.  Add a faux knot created with additional twine.  Adhere the layer to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Use Paper Snips to fussy-cut an image from the Hey Sports Fan DSP.  Adhere a small piece of Very Vanilla card stock to the back of the image with Glue, to add strength.  Then adhere to the card front using Dimensionals – single over the layer and stacked over the card front.  Complete with a few navy Resin Star Embellishments.

Fussy-cut a banner image from the DSP with Paper Snips and adhere to a panel of Very Vanilla card stock.  Adhere to a mat of Poppy Parade card stock before adhering to the inside of the card with Liquid Glue.  And there you have it – a great card for any ball player or fan.  The Your Biggest Fan Bundle has coordinating images and dies, too!  Be sure to check them out.
