My Uncle George is a diehard Steelers fan – and I am too. (It’s not just because of their Y17 color….I liked them long before I fell in love with yellow!) And Uncle George could use a pick-me-up…when I saw HoneyBee’s set with Hope the Hedgehog, I had to pick it up and make old Uncle George (aka Uncle GPS coz he has always been a walking talking directions-giver!) a card to cheer up his day!

I picked colors that work with my team’s uniforms – pick whatever will match your own school team or professional sports organization. (Or that of the recipient!) You did realize you don’t need to be a sports fan to make a card like this, right?
The background on this one is easier than you think – BLOBS! When things are distant and out of focus, just give them some general blobbies of color, and people will “see” them as a crowd at a football game anyway.
If adding confetti, know that you can cover up any coloring problems….which is a great reason to add confetti to any card!

Just purchased this set for my cheerleading granddaughter. Can’t wait to get it and hope I can do it half the justice you did, Sandy! Love your creations…and your heart!
Thank you for the hint to find the comment box lol. This is so darling! I watched over on YT. He is so going to love this card, Sandy! Brings back memories – cheerleading and one of the schools had black and gold as the colors (down south in DuPont, before they tore down the school). I love the innocence and humor you bring out in your scene cards!
It’s a very cool card Sandy and it shows so much happyness. I think your uncle would be thrilled when he gets this one!
Thank you so much for showing and have a wonderful day.
Oh wow! This is so cute Sandy!
I’m sure your Uncle George will love this cute card (and it might cheer him up a little after Sunday Night Football). I think she would look splendid in Viking purple and gold too – and they are still fall colors too!
I’’ve been looking for football-related stamps. There just aren’t many out there.. I love how you made this a perfect football card! Thanks for the inspiration.
Hope has to be the cutest hedgehog I’ve seen yet – and being a cheerleader makes her pretty funny as well! It’s that time of year when cheerleaders and mascots abound, so this is good information, no matter what we’re putting in our “gridiron” scene! Thank you.
