Paper Playtime-Tall Card

Good Morning,
Thank you for joining us today at Paper Playtime for another fun challenge.  This week, we are asking that you make a tall card (9x8, scored at 4).  For an optional challenge we ask that you use your Cricut!! Yay!!
I don't usually make tall cards, so I had fun making this one....


I used Sizzix embossing folder on Core'dination paper.

I cut out the glove and ball using Sports Mania.

I cut out these letters with my Robotz cart.

I made this card for my son's baseball coach. The season is just about over, so this card plus a gift card will be a nice gift for him.  
Make sure you hop on over to Paper Playtime for more great projects and inspiration.  You can link up your project there.  Can't wait to see your cards!!
