Super Bowl Blog Hop - Day 1


It's BLOG HOP TIME!
The designers at Card a Day Blog are joining together to do a blog hop this weekend! The theme is Masculine cards! Let's not let the guys have all the fun on Super Bowl Sunday....let's get a little of our own fun in!
To join in....visit all the participating designers by visiting their sites, some are having prize give aways...so make sure you pop in! Make sure you comment on all the blogs too, because at the end of the weekend, they are going to send a list of all who commented on their blog, and we are going to do a grand prize drawing of all comments on each blog! Blog Hop Prize
So JOIN IN TODAY....comment on the main blog page, and visit the other hop pages and comment there too!

Today's card is a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card base. I used some pattern paper from American Crafts Metropolitan paper pad for my background.

 

My card today uses the Stampin' Up Extreme Snowboard stamp as the main image. After stamping my image I used a circle die to cut it out.  The large cog behind my stamped image is from the Cricut Accent Essentials cartridge.


I use the Stampin' Up Extra Large Double punch to punch the cogs up and I have a couple of them mounted on pop up dots for some dimension.  For the inside I added a piece of the pattern paper and another cog.  To make my cogs solid in the center I punched a circle and mounted the cog on top of the circle.

Here is my blog candy and the winner will be chosen on Monday.
