Summer Olympics
What’s your favorite Summer Olympics sport? Mine is Gymnastics!
This card is a tribute to Simone Biles, who is not only the best gymnast in the world, but she is the G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Time)! The first time we saw Simone was as a fifteen year old in a gymnastic meet in Chicago. Steve and I were so impressed with her, but had no idea she would become so dominant in the sport of gymnastics. I was a gymnast growing up and have always loved gymnastics since I watched Nadia earn a perfect 10 in the 1976 Summer Olympics. Shawn Johnson, the 2008 Olympian, is from our town, West Des Moines, IA. We followed Shawn’s career as well. I gained great respect the determination and dedication that it takes to make it to the Olympic level watching Shawn practice at Chow’s. Our kids took recreation gymnastics there, so we got to watch Shawn for many years.
In my card, Simone, the G.O.A.T. is dancing across the balance beam holding one of her many gold medals. 🙂
If you’re interested in watching Simone on TV, she’s on NBC Friday, June 25 at 7pm Central and Sunday, June 27 at 7:30pm. We are cheering for you Simone!!
It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge! It’s fun being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0128 is World Music Therapy Day which is March 2nd.
The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE or more of the items in your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you!
From the Inspo List I used stripes, twine, and embossing.
Measurements
- Cut 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ Balmy Blue CS scored at 4-1/4″. Cut 3-3/4″ off the upper right hand corner in both directions. See picture below.
- Cut and adhere 4″ x 5-1/4″ Basic White CS inside the card.
- Cut 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ DSP and then cut diagonally. Adhere the upper right triangle inside the card leaving a border. Adhere the lower left triangle on the front of the card.
- Cut 3/4″ x 4-1/4″ Sahara Sand CS and adhere near the bottom on the front of the card. Cut and layer a 1/2″ x 4-1/4″ DSP on top of the Sahara Sand CS.
- Run a scrap of Sahara Sand CS through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (SCEM) with the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle die. Adhere to card front being careful not to put glue in the upper right hand corner so you don’t glue your card shut. 🙂
- Run DSP shown in picture through the SCEM with the 5th largest Stitched Rectangle die. Pop up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Decorate card as shown in the picture.

It was nice of Stampin’ Up to make the Way to Goat stamp set so I could make this card for Simone. I used the Playful Alphabet for her name. The beam was created with the In Good Taste DSP. There is a list of all the products I used at the bottom of this post. Please leave a comment or email me at Beth@StampingMom.com if you have any questions.
