So does anyone else watch the Little League World Series? I’m pretty excited because my friend’s son is on one of the teams competing in Williamsport this year.
So I needed a baseball card and I used an image I found on a website selling hats to trace and create this shape card.
Isn’t that a terrible image to trace from? MTC didn’t think so. I did very little clean up, duplicated the hat, mirror imaged it and welded it. Pretty cool, eh?
I sized it so that it will fit in a standard envelope (4.25 x 5.5…think that’s A2? A4? Not sure), but I made an envelope out of some baseball paper I had left over.
To get this card to “stand,” you bend the bills out a little bit and it gives it kind of a 3-Dish look as well.
I originally planned to have it say “thank you” on the front, but I had this cute baseball stamp so I went that direction and glued a star button on the front.
I used Worldwin Cutmates paper for the solid colors and some baseball patterned paper I picked up at Michael’s for the bill and the envelope. I used a swiss dot embossing folder for the blue part of the card.
I used the Zing
The settings were: 100 for the card stock, 80 for the patterned paper, speed 10 and red blade.
Here is the file if you want to give it a go:
Until next time!
