My Creative Time November Release Sneak Peek #2

Good Morning my friends!  Today is Sneak Peek #2 for My Creative Time's November Release!  This is a BIG ONE so get ready!!  Today I am showing you some of the new set Slam Dunk.  I don't usually do sports cards but I enjoyed doing these!  My twins play soccer and baseball so I really should be doing more sports projects.  Now I have some fabulous stamps to use!

For the net on the hoop I recycled some mesh from a bag of chocolate coins. (I have to admit I was quite proud of myself for that one!)

Even the sentiment on this set fits perfectly in Emma's Gift Card Holder die.  I used a 1" circle punch for the basketball stamp.

I used my Gypsy to flip and weld this basketball cut into a shaped card.  Emma's Scallop and Stitched Circle die set also coordinates with these stamps.

 Supplies I Used:

Slam Dunk Stamp Set, Scallop and Stitched Circle die set

and Gift Card Holder die  -  My Creative Time

Everyday Paper Dolls Cricut Cartridge

Patterned Paper from The Great Travel Stack  -  DCWV

Bazzil Basics embossed paper and Orange Glitter Cardstock  -  Michaels

Orange Zest and True Black Cardstock  -  Papertrey Ink

Black Diamond Stickles and Sparkly Black Brads

Black Soot and Spiced Marmalade Distress Inks

1" Circle Punch  -  Marvy

Twine from the mailing supplies section of Michaels

Archival Ink Pad  -  Mr. Cricut Crazy
