A Seahawks Handmade Card to Celebrate a Super Bowl Moment
A Seahawks handmade card felt like the perfect way to mark the team’s fourth trip to the Super Bowl. This one is intentionally simple, nothing elaborate, but fun to have on display while counting down to the big game.
I didn’t end up using the colors I originally planned. After a little experimenting, Blueberry Bushel and Granny Apple Green felt like the best match for the uniforms (though the green looks more yellow in some of the photos). They’re bold, energetic, and instantly say Seahawks to me. How do you think I did?
For the lettering, I used the Mini Alphabet Dies and cut letters from both colors. My first thought was to mix them evenly, but I decided in the end to just use one. I usually cut all the letters when I try a new color, and any extras get tucked away for future projects, already prepped and ready to go.
Before die cutting I added Adhesive Sheets to the back of the cardstock. That one step saved me from wrestling with small letters and glue later, always a good decision. And if you’ve ever worked with the Adhesive Sheets and smaller dies, you know the Take Your Pick Tool earns its keep here.
I also wanted a subtle pattern that felt similar to the textures and shapes on the uniforms. Since I don’t have the Sunshine & Tulips Dies, I tried a couple of long dies from sets I already own. The one from Cutest Crew surprised me in the best way and ended up being the clear winner.
All in all, I’m really happy with how this card turned out. Even better, I’m excited to see my team take the field in the 60th Super Bowl.
Go Seahawks! 🏈
