Wish Big Card

When my boys saw the Need for Speed stamp set in the new Idea Book, they were so excited.   My eight- year-old is really, really interested in airplanes and particularly jets, so he especially thinks the jet in the set is cool!  He's already used it quite a bit, including to help me make this card for a friend's birthday:


The card base is Crumb Cake, and the panel with the jets is Whisper White.  We stamped the jets with Night of Navy ink, then sponged around them with Pool Party Classic Ink.  We sponged the edges of the Whisper White with Night of Navy.  We put a strip of Night of Navy underneath that, along the bottom of the card.  It is hard to see in the photo, but that strip is embossed with the Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. 

For the greeting, we stamped images from the Pennant Parade set in Night of Navy on a piece of Pool Party, and punched it out with the Petite Pennants Builder Punch. 

Here's the inside of the card:



We lightly rolled the So Many Stars and the Striped Builder Wheels, then stamped the jet from Need for Speed, and "Celebrate Today" from Perfectly Penned.

Super simple, but a fun card for an eight-year old boy!

Thanks for stopping by!
