Craft Your Passion #105: Shaped cards

Batter up!  I just loved this image from Kenny K with 2 baseball players in my home, so I knew it was perfect for my project this week at Craft Your Passion.  This week is all about shaped cards and so I decided to try my hand at creating my base to look like home plate. Well after many attempts I finally settled for this one, not quite right but close enough. I dug into my scraps for the all-star paper which I picked up at Hobby Lobby when on sale!  Of course now became the task of how to color the image, since I have one boy wearing black and gold (Tigers) and one wearing blue/black/white (Dirtbags) how would I ever decide.  Well in the end my little guy won out, since he chose to help!  I kept this one nice and simple with no sentiment that way I could use as needed for a coaches gift or birthday card for one of players in future!

Make sure to check out the blog as our design team has "hit it out of the park" this week with their shaped cards!

Kaboodle Doodles- "Bag It of Tag It"

Scroll down if you are looking for The Crazy Challenge post.

 

"Bag It of Tag It" is our theme this week at Kaboodle Doodles and we are sponsored this week by Kenny K and our winner this week will received a $10 voucher to their store.  I have never worked with a Kenny K image so I was excited to finally get my hands on this adorable soccer player. Although  I do not have any soccer players in my house, I thought this would be perfect to add to a birthday present or layout for a friend/family member down the line.  

 

I started by cutting out a tag on my Cricut in CTMH desert sand cardstock and them inked edges with same color ink.  I have colored my image, double layered it, and popped him up on my tag.  I found this paper hiding in my stash that worked perfectly, torn my edges, and inked them also.  I have left it blank so I can add a special saying or sentiment when I decide to use it!

Now to join the challenge you have to head over to Kaboodle Doodles and while there check out what rest of my fellow DT members have created!
