Basketball card - Circle Thinlit

I've had this idea for a while, and finally got to make it last night.  A basketball card!  The words on the flip side could be anything you want - Happy Birthday, Thinking of You, Congratulations...I went with "you can do it".  I left it pretty plain, but you could doll it up with stars or team colors - whatever you want.

Also used the brand new Hardwood Background stamp from the Occasions Mini catalog.  Me likey!


For the basketball, I punched out a scrap Cajun Craze with the 2 1/2" circle punch, hand-drew the basketball lines on with a Sharpie, then ran it through the embossing folder with the Decorative Dots folder (Sale-a-Bration item for FREE during SAB!)

    1. Sorry I just now saw this comment! The circle punched out of the card base was done with a die. I don't have it anymore, but I have seen similar dies from Sizzix.
