I hope that you're feeling inspired to get out your stash of papercrafting supplies and kick off the New Year with new projects galore!
I was excited to see Lauren's card because it's a BOY card! I love seeing great boyish cards because, for me, they're challenging. My usual tricks of adding bling, ribbons and cute stuff to the card just doesnt' quite work for a boy/guy card. Let's see what Lauren created.
12 x 12 cream colored card stock

Legit Griffindor tag
Cream ribbon
Edge distresser
Happy birthday stamp
Black ink

Dimensionals
Glue
Paper cutter
Score buddy
Razor blade
Ruler
I think We R memory keepers Vintage-T line is great for that preteen to early teenage boy. Using their products, I created a gift card holder and birthday card to give to that growing boy. I wanted to do something nontraditional so I scored a 12 x 5.5 sheet of card stock so that there are two flaps to open and used a strip of paper and ribbon to keep the card closed.
The card has two slots on the inside to keep the gift card in place. The Griffindor/legit embellishment was a tag that I cut to add more dimension and design to the card. A lot can really be done with this type of design but as it is for a young boy, I wanted to keep it simple and boyish.
Thanks, Lauren!
This is a great boy-ish card with just enough to keep it interesting without making it overdone or girlish!
We'll see you all back here on Monday with another Layout idea!
