Football season is here, and today’s projects are perfect for the football fan in your life! I used the Football Fan Stamp Set to create a masculine birthday card along with a coordinating treat holder.

I kept the color palette bold and sporty with Blueberry Bushel, Basic Black, and Basic White. One of my favorite details is the striped Designer Series Paper. I used the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP and colored portions of the pattern with a Blueberry Bushel Stampin’ Blends Marker. I love how easy it is to completely change the look of Designer Series Paper simply by adding a little color!
For the inside, I kept the design simple but coordinated with the front by adding the football helmet image and a strip of the same customized Artisan Sketched Garden DSP along the bottom. It’s just enough detail to carry the football theme through to the inside while still leaving plenty of room for a personal message.

The football player, footballs, stars, and other stamped images bring the whole card together, while the Basic Black layers really make that Blueberry Bushel pop.
And of course, I had to create a coordinating treat holder! Inside is a Snickers bar with “Halftime” on the wrapper—how perfect is that for a football-themed project? I added the “Let’s Go Team!” pennant, football, tag, and a big black bow to finish it off.

These projects would be so much fun for birthdays, game-day parties, coaches, players, or any football fan!
