Teenage Boys Birthday Card Ideas is something close to my heart. My youngest turns 14 this week as does his friend. Making masculine cards is a challenge, but Teenage Boys Birthday Cards, even more so.
This is the card I created for my son and has a distinct grunge look, keeping the colours to blacks and greys except for the pop of red. The dots are coloured Embossing Paste using the Dotty Decorative Mask. A few stamp sets were used to create the background. My Thoughts were A Teenage Boys Birthday card needs to be not too busy with layers but lots of texture.
So for the second card I have used the Geared Up Garage bundle. Perfect also for a grunge look. Adding texture with not too many layers. The sprockets were die cut in Basic Black Card Stock and then silver embossed.
For Both Cards I have flipped the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper. On the reverse it is white and I have used the dark Black Stampin’ Blend to colour. This gave an illusion of tyre tracks.
So I hope this gives you a couple of great ideas for Teenage Boys Birthday cards. It was actually so much fun doing something different.
