Need for Speed Birthday

Today I needed to make a card for my nephew who is turning 20.  What do you make for a guy that's turning 20?!  I went to my trusty retired set Need for Speed and whipped this card up using the Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge for the week.  Whew...glad there are all these sketch challenges out there to help me out even though I twisted this one around just a bit. :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

I've been taking a bit of a break from blogging, but it's time to start again.  Today's "card" is for my nephew's birthday.  I've made these before, but thought I'd post another one since I think they're so cool. :)  I stamped and cut out the image, then taped it on the wallet front.  Then I run it through the Big Shot to get the textured look.  Of course I have to fill it with a bunch of fake stuff, however there is some real stuff in there even though you can't see it. :)

Another thing I want to add is what I talked about last week...  I'm a guest designer for the Inky Fingers Club and would love to have you join.  I'll be featuring sponging and have lots of pics and instructions on how to make four different scenes on four cards.  I'm not the only one designing, so you'll see a lot of great things out there!  Click HERE to register.  If you're one of the first fifty to sign up you get an Early Bird Discount of $19.95.  Here's some more info...

I don't know about anyone else, but cards for teenage guys always seem to be my biggest challenge.  This is what I ended up making for my cousin's teenage son for his birthday this year.  I definitely went searching for some ideas for this set and ended up liking this card here made my Narelle H.  I really liked the layered squares with portions of the car in it, so my idea went from there...

Good morning...today's card is the only masculine card the ladies made at my July stamp a stack.  I think it was the easiest of the five cards to make this time too.  Yup, guy cards are usually pretty simple and to the point.  Not so sure they'd enjoy getting a card with a lot of flourishes and flowers on it anyway. lol  

To those of you who are new to my blog via my facebook page, welcome, and thanks for liking my page!  I've already posted one of the five cards earlier that we made.  I think (yes, think) this one was my second favorite for the month.  To see the card click here...it's the second card. :)  

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Today's card was the one masculine card I made for my June stamp a stack.  It was quick and easy to prep and quick and easy to make.  The ladies like having an easy card every now and then. :)

Today's cards are a couple that were requested by one of the ladies that comes regularly to my stamp a stacks.  She needed some cards for teenage guys.  I agree that they are the hardest to come up with, but this set is perfect for them!
