Football Crazy

  Proud Grandma moment -I made a card for my youngest Grandson who was 10yrs and been playing football since he was 2yrs and now plays for an academy and is awarded player of the match trophy practically every time he plays a match and was even featured as Player of the Tournament  on the front of their magazine. 

The football shirt background is recycled packaging, the die-cut frames are from Penny Black and the die-cut sentiment is from Tonic coloured with a promarker. The football and footballer was a die-cut set bought from a FB declutter site with no packaging so no idea of make-both coloured with promarkers and the football boots were paper pieced.

Such a wonderful card, perfectly tailored for your grandson's achievements! The thoughtful mix of die cuts, recycled packaging, and meticulous coloring brings the football theme to life beautifully. It's clear how much care went into making this special keepsake, and no doubt it will mean a lot to him. A fantastic way to celebrate both his talent and dedication!

Very sportive birthday card for your grandson Carol
Nice weekend Epie xx

Wendy R. said...

Wow, Carol, this card is an absolute winner—definitely Premier-League-worthy! ⚽️🎉 I love how you turned that recycled football-shirt packaging into the perfect pitch for your die-cuts, and the pop of Promarker colour on the boots and sentiment really makes the whole design sing.

What a fantastic way to celebrate your superstar grandson’s 10th birthday and his amazing run of “Player of the Match” trophies. He’s going to treasure this keepsake almost as much as his medals!

Thanks for the crafty inspiration—now I’m itching to raid my recycling bin for background ideas. Have a brilliant week and keep those proud-Gran moments coming! 🏆😊

Christine said...

Hi Carol, thank you for checking in ♥, I'm well but yes I have been taking a little crafting break along with taking a few holidays :). I have also decided to stretch my brain a little and I'm learning Welsh so I have a group I get together with twice a week. Hopefully this will rejuvenate the crafting side of my brain.
Wonderful card for your Grandson ♥
Hugs Christine xx
