Card for a teen...

Today is our grandson's 15th birthday. Teen boys are so hard to make cards for, but this is what I finally decided on:


I made this card with a couple of rectangles with rounded corners and some circle dies.  My background is embossed with a Darice music embossing folder.

The "Make a wish" stamp is a really old one. I'm not even sure anymore who the manufacturer is.

My inside sentiment was computer-generated. I also added a little piece of musical clipart.

This was a simple card--easy to make--but I think it works well for a teen boy.

Do you have a hard time with teen boy cards, too? I'd love to learn something about your "go to card" for teen boy birthdays. I've got 5 grandsons, three of whom are now teens, and it won't be long before the other two are, as well. Believe me, I need all the help and advice I can get when it comes to making cards for them.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

Great teen boy card. I have a grandson about to be 13 so I am looking for inspiration for teen cards too. I use a lot of SU's Epic Celebration with the guitar, gym shoes, and headphones. They did not carry it over into the new catalogue.

I struggle with masculine cards period - except maybe the young toddler ones. This one is awesome, isn't it amazing how we can make something with some squares and circles. Great job on this card.
