I started playing with Stampin’ Up!’s Hey Sports Fan Suite last week, and I’ve already used a whole package of the Hey Sports Fan 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. Once I got stamping and creating, the ideas just kept coming. Find this awesome collection of products in Stampin’ Up!’ January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. See this post for additional card samples, ideas, and a video. 

Your Biggest Fan Birthday

The card above uses a fun embossing technique. 

• cut a piece of the baseball-looking paper from the Hey Sports Fan 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper at 5 x 3 3/4 and the die cut it using Stampin’ Up!’s Picture This Dies. The circles remind me of baseballs!
• pop the circles out and glue the circles onto a piece of Night of Navy card stock measuring 5 x 3 3/4 inches.
• run this whole piece through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine in the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.
• add the sentiment (stamped in Night of Navy) from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set
• layer on a piece of Poppy Parade card stock measuring 5 1/4 x 4
• tie the red/white baker’s twine
• include some of the fun Resin Star embellishments. 

It’s a fun technique that just gives the card a different look. Here’s a close up look.

One feature I love about the Hey Sports Fan 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper is that many of the sheets include images you can die cut with the Sports Events Dies. I used the coordinating dies to get all of the images. With the pile on my crafting space, I grabbed pieces to create cards and all fun elements. The card above shows how I used some of the fun “ticket” pieces to make a birthday card. 

Here’s one more card sample that shows the use of the tickets die cut from the designer series paper.

• Fan Baker’s Twine (one spool each of Evening Evergreen, Night of Navy, and Poppy Parade/white)

I’ve had so much fun with this collection of products. I hope you’ve enjoyed the samples as much as I’ve enjoyed creating them.
