The punch makes a gorgeous card.  This one is by Kristeen Gill ~ borrowed from Stamper's Connection on Stampin' Up!'s Demonstrator website.  As a Demonstrator I have access to the most marvelous website ~ it is a fabulous resource for anyone who loves to stamp/scrap!!!  Ask me about it ~ I would be happy to tell you EVERYTHING!  Happy Friday!

Great Sport

Soccer

The Calder Cup has come to Norfolk.  Calder Cup?  Norfolk's Hockey Team, the Admirals, has won this prestigious award and returned home yesterday with a tremendous welcome at the Norfolk Airport.

So, why do I have a soccer punch art card on my blog today?  Because I wanted to celebrate the victory BUT, looking through the Stampin' Up! catalog I could not find a stamp set for the sport of hockey.  BUT, we do have a new stamp set called Great Sport (#124307, set of 6) on page 66 in the new annual catalog ~ I thought you might like to see it.  It has lots of possiblity, don't you think?

Soccer - great sport

 

It would be great for a scrapbook page, invitations, tags or for a card to send to your favorite sports lovers.  Here are a couple of cute ideas, soccerwise ~

Soccer 3

Soccer 2

Enjoy!  Let me know if I can help you with any of your crafting ideas ~ I would love to have you at one of my classes or to provide a private class for you and your friends!  Susan Elise, your stamp teacher
