I have not much of a clue about boys and what it's like to live in the same household with them because Bob and I had 3 girls, but thanks to our daughter Shannon, I am learning. Boys are cool. For the most part they're no muss no fuss and they don't get bothered by the stupid stuff. I've noticed that Shannon's 3 boys fight and then they get over it. Sometimes they fight because it's cool.
What I'm getting at is I normally design cards with a more, shall we say, feminine trend, so I really wanted to come up with something that said, "this is for a boy". When I saw this stamp set in the 2014-2015 catalog, I knew I needed it in my collection and I think I've concocted a radical card that lends itself toward the male gender. Oh, and of course, there was a whole back side to this card that needed---something. So I made a little gift card envelope with the Punchboard and left space for a personal message. What do you think?
I designed this card as a shadow box because 1 or 2 dimensional just wasn't going to cut it. I needed it to be spectacular, awe inspiring and something that a guy would think was "COOOL!" I used inks from the 2014-2016 collections as well as the Regals and Brights Collections. So fun:)
I love that we have our envelope punchboard, because I had no trouble finding a way to package this card to send! The brightness of this card still amazes me. Thanks, Stampin' Up! for giving me the tools to create awesome things!!
