Batter Up!

My father-in-law asked me to make 'thank you' cards for the parents of one of the teams he coached this summer. When I make cards in multiple quantities, they HAVE to be simple! I am usually a 'one card only' card maker. I guess I get bored easily. My husband is also a baseball coach for the high school where he teaches. So between the two of them and my two boys, I'm sure I'll get a lot of use out of these baseball themed supplies!

Isn't this baseball stamp CUTE! I found it online from A Muse (called Batter). It's colored in with Copic markers. I love how smooth these markers color! No stroke marks/lines! Then, I made a mask and stamped a small dirt mound under his feet with a shaddow stamp by C.C. Designs.

The patterned paper is all from Die Cuts With a View. I was so excited when I found a baseball paper stack! How perfect! I just cut strips of the baseball stitching paper and added some black backing. The sentiment is by Papertrey Ink (Paper Tray).
