Boy cards are fun too

Many of you may know I have a daughter, so when it comes to boy cards I just do not seem to have many stamps for that.  I don't think the boys would really go for all the cute girl stuff, you know.  When she was invited to a boys party recently I thought okay... I got nothing!  But then I remembered that I bought "Extreme Elements" last year.  No, I had not mounted it yet!  Sad huh, I am sure none of you ever buy stamps and then forget to use them (haha).  I checked out some ideas on splitcoaststamper.com.  Love this site, it is great for ideas and they even have a separate Stampin'Up! gallery so I can always find ideas for stamp sets I have.  Here's my card for Austin's birthday.  I really wanted the monster truck gift card, but Ashley said no.  I might have to go back and get one just to show in my boy cards for the future!  

Thanks to all the great ideas I saw on splitcoast, I found a great card in grays that inspired this card front, just cannot seem to find it to give credit them now, sorry.  I stamped off the turquoise before stamping the splotches so they were lighter than the stars.  Hope you enjoy!

Look Here pop up die

I needed some nice gifts for some of Ashley's teachers at school. This is one I made for her gym teacher. Who wouldn't like coffee and chocolate for a holiday treat? So I used my Look Hear Pop up die, my Big Shot and some stamps.

Here is the inside of the card.  
We kept it simple since the gift card is so cute!

This sweet card is one Ashley made.  She was going to a birthday party last weekend and we needed a cute card to hold the gift card.   She did the front of the card and she and I did the inside of the card.  I thought she did a great job with it all.  

If you have questions about how I made any of these cards please let me know.  Thanks for looking!

Pop-Up Look Here card

Look what I found!  This picture of a totally fun card I made for one of Ashley's friends.
Sometimes last minute gifts can be fun!  When I first got the Pop-Up Look Here die for my Big Shot I thought this will be fun!  It took a little work to get the folds right, but I finally got it.

Then I offered it as a card at a class last year, okay the cards were cute, but it took longer than I ever thought it would to make those cards.  A few ladies said it was the gift just to make the card. So I put it away for a few months.  BUT,  I pulled it out when I needed a gift card holder for one of Ashley's friends.  I did a punch art sundae card (similar to something last year from Stampin' Success) and amazingly this card went together a lot faster than I remember doing them!  Was it practice, or was it just an easier inside design?  hmmm.  Either way I like this die again.  Cannot wait to use it for more gift cards.

With the holidays right around the corner this die will be great for gift cards!


Here is the card I offered at a class last year.  I think adding that second piece of card stock on the inside made it a little more work to put together.  But they are fun to give and even more fun to receive.

Happy Stamping!
