Another Football themed card.
This time for our Grandsons other Granddad
whose Birthday it was last week.
Again I made the card in his local teams colours.
The sentiment is a large word stamp by Woodware.
I started off wih a large offcut of white card stock
and glued different widths of snippets of design paper across
the card to fill.
Football paper is a digi by
'Print Fun Factory' a shop on Etsy.
I used bright blue cardstock for the base
and adhered the football design paper to the front
having first stamped the clear stamp onto it
so that I knew the wording would be centered.
I then stamped again onto the card of glued down stripes
and fussy cut out each letter separately. Some I had to stamp
more than once as the letters overlap.
I then proceeded to glue onto the stamped image making
sure I had the correct letters overlapping each other .
I can't deny it wasn't fiddly but the finished result was worth it.
Happy Birthday spelt out in his teams colours.!
I then found as I had made the card a non standard size
I had no envelope to fit it so had to make one
which I decorated with some strips of the football paper
on the front and on the inside flap.

You have so much patience to do all that paper piecing. It paid off as the sentiment pops off the page. Well done!
PS Forgot to say will be watching for the tent card collapsing fold solution. I did think of making sort of a short strip of acetate inside and hiding it under a snowflake of something and then hiding it under the sentiment page mat...but thought I would post looking for solutions first!

I have that stamp and you are right it is fiddly to paper piece but well worth the effort - especially as you could use football team colours which I'm sure were appreciated.
