Baby Boy Card

One of my coworkers had a baby shower this weekend.  She is a soon-to-be first time mama of a little boy.  She is also super creative so I knew I had to make an extra special card for her.

I love, love, love interactive fun cards.  I used the Lawn Fawn scallop box card pop-up die to make this.

I'm adding it to the Lawnfawnatic blog's 'cards for guys' challenge, too.  'Cuz baby boys count, too, right??

Birthday Boy Card

I don't know about the rest of you, but I have a hard time coming up with cards for guys.  My middlest son had a birthday a few days ago and I was at a loss.  He's a teenager so I veered away from cute as best I could.  :)  I finally ended up with this:

It was simple and quick to put together once I started.  First I attached strips of washi tape to cardstock.  Using the Cricut, I cut the stars out.  An eyelet on the itty bitty one and some string tied through it enhanced the sentiment.  I picked up the gears embossing folder (on sale, of course!) at the store the other day and it seemed like the perfect background to keep it from being too 'rah-rah', cutesy.

The kiddos are on Spring Break this week.  Off to go get into some mischief with my cohorts.  Have a great day!
