... we have a new challenge for you at St Luke's Charity Card Challenge and its a tricky one this month!!!
Teenage Kicks is the name of the game and yep, you guessed it.... we want to see your cards for those inbetweeners..... those too cool to be kids and definitely too hip to be adults :0)
I've made two cards this month .. .no prizes for guessing they are for a boy and a girl!! I've gone with the surf chick genre for the girls card... having been trawling this style of shop with Hannah this week I feel more than qualified to know what's in season at the moment!!
I was quite chuffed to use this Echo Park paper for the T-shirt as it's one that wouldn't have been used any other way because of the border pattern... ideal for a T-shirt though :0)

To line the die up with the piece of the pattern I wanted, I simply cut a t-shirt from copier paper and used the aperture as a window guide and then popped the die into the space before securing with washi tape to stop it moving whilst cutting.
My second card is for a lad who loves computer games....
..... just in case you're wondering, the textured white card came like that and I've had it ages in my stash but this is my last sheet I've cut into *sigh* I just love the tiny pattern. The die and stamps are from a Dienamics set but the HB2U is computer generated along with the sentiment inside....
Please join us this month and show us your crafting skills for teenagers cards, numbers were low last month and we'd really love you to take part and spread the word...we have a £10 gift voucher for the Ribbon Girl up for grabs to the winning entry this month
...and please donate any spare cards you can to be sold in aid of the hospice, the address to send them too is on the blog here along with the rest of the design teams cards for inspiration :0)
Thanks for your visit :0)

ReplyDeleteJenny - these are both awesome!! Love the girl card with that fabulous surfer chick T-shirt, so on trend! And you can never go wrong with a gaming card for a teenage lad or one a bit older too :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome cards. And very hip! Super challenge. I'm working on a card today that would be perfect for this challenge. Also, gathering another stack of cards to send off to the hospice.
ReplyDeleteFantastic cards Jenny, just perfect for teenagers:) Hugs x x
ReplyDeleteAwesome cards both! I love those t-shirt dies. Geez Jenny, your cards make me want to shop!!! LOL Love your takes on the challenge, they fit perfectly :)
ReplyDeleteJenny, these cards are just perfect for tweens and teens! Such a hard group to make cards for...at least they are for me! You've hit the nail on the head here, for both girl and boy. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteaww Jenny these are just way too fun...
ReplyDeleteThese are brilliant! I love both but esp the girl's!
ReplyDeleteTwo fab teenager cards. Both are great! That Echo Park paper made a wonderful shirt. :) ann Y.

ReplyDeleteAnne
Both of these are great! I love the girly one - such a gorgeous style and definitely reminiscent of the surf shops!! And the second one - I actually laughed out loud when I saw the inside. Then I showed my husband and he laughed out loud too. Amazing. M x
ReplyDeletegreat cards for teenages. love the stylish Tee's.
ReplyDeleteI agree those 'teens' are so hard to create for... but your cards are fabulous Jenny! I've had my eye on these dies and now I'm looking even harder. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI think this might be the hardest for me - even harder than masculine cards. Holy cow! Shopping with a teenage girl definitely gives you an edge-and a headache :) I love both cards - that shirt is gorgeous, I see ones like it all the time! And the video game one is just too clever. Love the sentiment - Riley would find it hilarious!
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm only just catching up with you, Jenny.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are absolutely wonderful for teens. If I had to make one, I wouldn't have a clue...both of these are brilliant! Love your t-shirt with fabulous beach theme and the gaming theme for a boy is spot on x
Oh these are fabulous Jenny! I do like the way you've made his and hers versions! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteSo freakin' cool!! I love the t-shirt on the first card - I would totally wear that! The weathered stripes in the background are awesome too. The sentiment on the second one is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas Jenny! I find teen cards really hard to make but yours are an inspiration! Love them both :) Sarah x
