It's always so hard for me to come up with a birthday card for a teen boy if they don't have a specific interest and I have several that I have to make cards for like this during the year. Males don't generally like a lot of fluff and stuff on them (they're mainly looking for the money inside!) so I didn't add any to this card....just a bunch of arrows and a little wonky sentiment. I used two stamp sets from The Alley Way Stamps on this - Jibber Jabber and Good Point. I stamped the yellow arrows on some SU DP and then added the enamel dots with my Paper Pen.
I'll enter this in Be Inspired Challenge (see inspiration photo) and Pixies Crafty Workshop (snippets)
Thanks for stopping by..........

Love this design and the black, white and yellow! Teen boys are the hardest to do for! This looks perfect! Hadn't heard of a Paper Pen before. You get the coolest toys!
ReplyDeleteLove this, Lynn! The chevrons really pop with the color combo. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your card! The arrowheads are such fun and a great idea for a masculine card!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could come up with simple and fun designs like this! Those chevrons in different patterns are just cool to look at, along with those enamel dots and funky fonts! This card just works for me!

ReplyDeletePerfect for a teen boy Lynn! Love the clean look and the color choices! Fabulous card girl! Isn't that true for most kids....they check for gift cards and money then look at the card. Love it!

I'm with you Lynn, all my masculine cards tend to have fluff. The colored chevrons, enamel dots and saying work great.

Great colors for a male teen, liked the 'graphic look' you achieved with these chevrons, and yep, you're right on the $$$ part. Now what is a paper pen???Am I missing out on something I need to have?! This one's great with your usual crisp, clean style..but bold, dude! Like it a lot. Hugs & TFS
ReplyDeleteWhat a bold, graphic card. Any male would be happy to receive this card, even without money inside (do they ever grow out of that?).
ReplyDeleteLove this! Great color combo and it's perfect for a guy or gal.
ReplyDeletePerfect for a male, especially them young ones, Love those arrow stamps - fabulous! xx
