RainyDay Stamper

It Can be

hard to make cards for teenage males.  Not alot of stamps in this area but on page 88 & 89 of the Idea Book and Catalogue, we hit the jackpot.  Extreme snowboard, guitar, skateboard, surfboard and dirt bike.  All perfect for a teenage male.  And these stamps you can get as Sale-a-bration options and mix any or all of them with Extreme Elements and  you are set. 

 Is this not perfect?  The base of the card is Early Expresso then a Very Vanilla mat.  Four pieces of Crumb Cake stamped with an image from Extreme Elements make up the next layer.  The focal point is stamped in Early Expresso onto Very Vanilla and matted with Early Expresso.  Inside

 more Very Vanilla and another image from Extreme Elements and a sentiment from On Your Birthday. 

Happy Stamping,

 

Surf's up

Another stamp set from the Growing up section, but this one is more for anyone over 12 and under 30 (over 30 we hurt too much for too long)

This card actually uses three sets, Extreme Surfboard,Extreme Elements and Just Surfing.  First I stamped the Extreme Element in Bashful Blue then using my Stamp a ma Jig, stamped the Surfer in Brilliant Blue Craft ink and then clear embossed it.  The matting is Bashful Blue and Brilliant Blue so it really pops the image.  The waves at the bottom were from September's Stamping Success, a magazine that all demos get.  Turn your oval punch on a angle, and punch along the entire edge of your cardstock.  The sentiment is from Just Surfing, stamped in Brilliant Blue ink onto Bashful Blue punched with the small oval punch layered onto Brilliant Blue punched with the large oval.

Just a reminder, only four more days for free shipping.

Happy Stamping
