Here is a teen boys card I made using a scrap of paper from Kaisercraft Attitude 6″ paper pad, a tim holtz sizzix embossing folder – Bricked, and a mix of stamps from Bitty grunge set by stampers anonymous.I distressed and inked all the edges and added a sentiment to the top with brads.It tickled my fancy that the shape of the paper piece I used for the greeting looks a little like those old fashioned street signs! I’m off into the craft room and looking forward to unwinding in there! Til tomorrow…..

Mens card ideas
I got a little distracted but we are back to my mens card series using Simple Stories Awesome paper. On both of the cards i used a Docrafts papermania stamp – happy Birthday, stamping it onto a few different pieces of paper and then cutting out the letters and reassembling it. I also used my spellbinders dies – Stars five and lacey Pennant for the banners and stars..Great paper for mens cards.Today nathan filmed me colouring my stamped images for a youtube video which will be up here tomorrow for those of you who have asked how I colour my stamped images.otherwise today I have been working on a secret project for my sisters upcoming BIG birthday. I have had this idea in my head for a while but found this week I couldn’t settle to anything so knew I had to sit down today and create it – it’s nearly finished I just have to find where I stored my hot glue gun…..

Teen boy cards number 2
Today I have two cards to show – both using October Afternoon Sasparilla paper on the base, and stars cut out using my cricut machine – wild card cartridge. On the left card I have used a book plate ( stampin Up) for the sentiment. On the right card I have added a length of wide twill binding ahich I stamped using white staz on ink, and buttons and bakers twine. The base cardstock is Stampin Up real red.You don’t need a cricut machine to replicate these cards – punches, dies or hand cutting the stars would all work! I have made great inroads into my lesson plans today, just a couple more to do, then the rest of the week creating to fill my boxess1 Til tomorrow….
