Fast Teenage boy birthday card
I will be busy today. I have a long grocery list, that means I will go to the base. That always takes a while. T
hen I have to finish swap cards that need to go out soon.
So I will show you a card I made about two weeks ago for one of Austin’s friends.
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Blue Bayou folded in half, followed by a 4″ square of Chocolate Chip cardstock and a 3 3/4″ square of Spring Break Designer paper.
I am sorry I can’t give you the measurements for the vertical strip, but I would guess it was 1 1/2″ wide and I know it was 3 3/4″ long. It was distressed on one side and paper pierced.
The stamp is from the set So cool. It was inked with my Chocolate chip marker and Blue Bayou reinker and a bullet tip Fantastix and stamped on Soft Sky cardstock. I cut it out, layered it on Chocolate chip cardstock and cut it out again. Then I added Pewter brads in the D of dude.
It needed something else, so I used a big photo corner in Chocolate chip and topped it with more Pewter brads.
I was so excited to see the two sets geared towards older kids in this current Stampin’ Up! catalog.
When my sons go to birthdays now, they either take a gift card or cold hard cash.
It’s just too hard to buy for teenage boys. I don’t want to spend the money on a Wii or other game system game for a birthday party, but other then that….it’s hard to find the right gift.
So I added a little pocket on the inside of the card to hold the cash present.
