One of my
ministry's at the church I attend is to send hand made birthday cards to every member of the church. Don't worry, its a very small church, so its not as overwhelming as it may seem.
LOL! But I do have to send cards to every age group and sex, and teen boy cards are probably the most difficult ones for me to do. So I was very happy when
Stampin Up! came up with these 'Extreme' teen images. I think I bought every one.
My first card uses the 'Extreme Skateboard' image. The designer paper is Cosmo Cricket ''The Boyfriend". I just love the graphics in that paper pad. The image is mounted up on
dimensionals, and the sentiment is from
MFT 'The Poppies'.

My second card is actually a case from a card I saw on
Splitcoaststampers. I've lost the link, but I believe the artist's name is Gretchen
Belknap. The layout is pretty much the same on my card, but I changed the papers and added extra stars. My paper is from
DCWV 'The Rock Star' stack...another paper pad I love for teenagers! The stars are a
Cuttlebug Die. And this image is also mounted up on
dimensionals and is called 'Extreme Guitar'.

Now, if only
SU! came out with a 'Extreme Drummer' stamp. That would have been perfect for my son since he is a percussionist.
Awesome teen guy cards! I think guy cards are hard and your are right, teen guy cards are the most challenging but you seem to have managed with no difficulty whatsoever. Love both of these!
ReplyDeleteWOW Amy these are AWESOME!!! These are for sure perfect for any teen!!!! Those images are sooo cool and the paper you used rocks!!! Fabulous cards!
ReplyDeleteWOWWW! Awesome cards! I'm especially lovin' the layout on the first card, and how that triangle looks like a ramp!
