Football Themed Birthday Card

Today, I am sharing the birthday card I made for one of my great nephews who 
was eight last month. 

He loves everything to do with dinosaurs but as he also loves playing football, 
I thought I would make him a football themed card for a change, using some 
snippets of black and white card from my stash.
I started by matting the square piece of embossed football card 
onto black card and glued it directly onto the card base.

I die-cut the football border, twice in white card which I glued together,
and once with black card. After glueing it onto the football panel, I 
 paper pieced the black parts into the footballs.

Lastly I added the sentiment, number, alphabet tiles and punched circles.

The products I have used are:
Crafters Companion Embossing folder - Football Crazy
Card Deco - Happy Birthday 
EK success punch- Small circle
Football border, number and alphabet tiles - Brands unknown

I am entering this card into Snippets Playground ‘Anything Goes’ challenge #419
Di has set up a new challenge blog for using snippets which can be found HERE

Thank you for visiting my blog today.

    Great card Janice - love the footballs - you sure are a whizz with die cutting and using up snippets. I bet the little (perhaps not so little) guy loves it!

    Happy 2022!
