Sometimes we buy beautiful PP and don't want to cut it into pieces so we keep it in a drawer.
So this tutorial is good for using those lovely papers of 12" without any cut -- just by folding them.
All folded up it looks like a little gift package and it closes like you would do with a box.(see photo in the left upper corner)
The photo on the right shows when it is partially unfolded.
On the large photo you see the completely unfolded card to reveal the stamping and die cutting decoration part.
The sentiments, footballs and numbers on the shirt are stamped with Versafine and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
The embossed parts of the footballs are sponged with black ink and heat embossed.
The die cuts are also from the same set : COl1335 and COl1336.
I made this card for a friend who plays football so the shirt and short have the colors of his team and his number in the football team.
The tag is punched out of the PP and attached to the ribbon bow.

Niki you have some of the cutest folds on your cards and this card is so adorable with the paper and great images on the inside. Thank you for joining in on my challenge this week with such a fun card.
Wow!! What a clever and unusual card! This must be such a thrill to receive and open! I love that it's sports-themed, too. There's always a shortage of masculine card ideas, and this certainly makes for one fun card.
