Cardz TV Stamps Anything Goes Challenge
The new Design Team is in place for Mary's Cardz TV Stamps so we're having a challenge. Mary said anything goes this time around. I used the Make A Wish set which is an all around great set for making birthday cards. For my shaped card I used the Cricut Wild Card 2 cartridge. I needed a card for a teenage grandson, which is always a huge struggle for me. I have four teenage grandsons and I just hate when their birthdays roll around and I have to design cards for them. I know I shouldn't admit this, but it's totally true. I thought a birthday cake was a safe image for a teenage boy. They like to eat---RIGHT??? My base card and layers are cut at 5.25". I put it together using all paper scraps from my bin. I keep using those scraps, but I never seem to make a dent in them. LOL One of my favorite things about Mary's Cardz TV stamps is the fact that I can bend the clear photopolymer stamps to fit around anything. As you can see on this card, I placed it to take the shape of the plate the cake is sitting on. I used Momento Rich Cocoa ink for stamping. I'm hoping when my grandson getss the card he'll read the sentiments in the order I put them--first, Make A Wish, then Blow out the candles and on the inside it says Eat Cake! I hope you'll leave a comment telling me whether you think this is an appropriate card for a teenager to put my mind at ease. I stress over the boy cards so much. Thanks for stopping by.

I'm with your Jeri! I stress over male cards, too!! And I think teen boy cards have to be the worse!! I think you hit the nail on the head perfectly with this one!!! My scrap bin has and expanding bottom. I think I might be able to see it and then I don't!!! :)
Jeri I think male cards are the hardest by far but this one is a home run! Fabulous shaped card with the perfect papers. karen
