Game Day Collection - Sport Themed Card Ideas with Jennifer Kotas

Hello! I’m Jen Kotas from Who Stole My Glitter and I’m happy to be here today to share three cards featuring the Game Day Collection. This collection features multiple ways to create a jersey and a wide variety of sports equipment. I didn’t attempt to replicate any certain team jerseys, my inspiration came from the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, and the New York Yankees. You can customize the dies to fit your favorite team or the school colors for someone special.

  1. Die cut the jersey, long v-neck, and trim from the Athletic Apparel Etched Dies from Cosmic Sky and white cardstock. Assemble with liquid glue.
  2. Die cut the basketball from Sporting Goods Etched Dies out of Terra Cotta and Onyx cardstock. Assemble by placing thin foam squares on the back to hold everything together.
  3. Die cut the numbers from Jersey Numbers Set Etched Dies out of Beeswax Cardstock. Add to the jersey.
  4. Emboss a piece of 4 x 5 1/4” white cardstock with the Sports Talk Embossing Folder at an angle. Adhere to an A2 card base with foam tape.
  5. Stamp the sentiment from All Star Sentiments Clear Stamp Set in blue and yellow ink. Cut into strips.
  6. Adhere die cuts and sentiments to the card with thin foam squares. The basketball will need a second layer of foam squares where it hangs off the jersey.
