I cut the basketball from the Cricut Father's Day cartridge at 3-3/4". I created the white background to the hoop by using the "hide selected contour" feature in the Cricut Craft Room. Below is a video that shows how to do that (click HERE if you can't see it):
My favorite stamps for the guy cards are these cool manly stamps from Scrappy Moms called "For the Boys":

ReplyDeletebe used for a girl basketball player.
I like your slam dunk card!
ReplyDeletesuch great sentiments to go with the image!
ReplyDeleteCute "guy" card & I LOVE that stamp set!! Just reading all the sentiments & can picture a card :)
ReplyDelete...Again, my favorite summer salad is Israeli Couscous with summer veggies, but who doesn't love a good Chicken salad too!
Very cute card. Cards for men are always the hardest for me! I love potato salad, although I am not sure if that is technically a "salad"!
ReplyDeleteI think you definitely succeeded in giving us a versatile masculine card and one that even I could recreate : ) Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletecute card for basketball lover. Really want to try the vinyl. I love tuna salad and in the summer cucumber salad.

My favorite summer salad is a few springs of baby spinach, some hearts of romaine lettuce, a few slices of canned mandarin oranges (could use fresh but on this recipe I like the canned best), a few blueberries with walnuts on top. Use a good poppyseed dressing with maybe a slice of good crunchy French bread. And a glass of white wine. I used to have this salad with my Mom and she loved it, especially when we used blueberries we picked at a local blueberry farm!
ReplyDeleteI am a subscriber and would love to win the vinyl!
I have followed your blog for a long time and always look forward to your posts! What a great give-away and thanks for the chance to win! Nancy
ReplyDeleteGreat card and like the dimension on it.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Masculine cards and me don't get along so much. LOL I always seem to have issues with them. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Summer salads.........hmmmm.........not really much on salads except for grilled chicken salad using fresh veggies from my garden. I know right, no salads. I think I've dieted for so long that I just lost my interest in them. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMiranda :)
Favorite summer salad = cucumbers, garden fresh tomatoes and sour cream
ReplyDeleteI just discovered the vinyl with my Cricut and would love to win the give-away so that I can play!
I like a regular salad best. Just give me greens and I'm happy. I eat it year-round. The slam dunk card would've been helpful when my oldest was still in school.
