Hello! How is everyone!! It is my turn to share at Exploring Cricut today and I have a birthday card that I made for my nephew. He turned 16 on Tuesday and likes the color blue. Sometimes I think teenage male cards are harder to do than adult male cards. So, I decided to use shapes and make the "16" the focal point of the card.
I started with the number 16 and worked my way out making my design. The plaid mat is a 1/4" smaller than the base of the card. The blue strips are were cut at 1". The arrows were from Gypsy Wanderings and were wider than what I wanted. It came from this page below.
I cut them as is on the cricut and then trimmed them with scissors.
As you can see there is no bling or embellishments (how sad), but it is for a 16-year-old boy:) Hopefully, he will enjoy the card as much as I did making it!

Teen boys are definitely not into bling, lol! (mine either, unfortunately) More like into grunge! I think this is a great card design for a teen boy-I like the kind of graphic design with the number, rectangle blocks, and arrows. Very teen!

So perfect...love it!!

Annette, this is a very handsome card. Perfect for a 16 year old boy. I bet he loved it! ;)
This is such a fun card! I think it's perfect for a teenage guy with the bold graphics and colors!
Agreed , cards for teens are hard to design, but I bet your nephew loved it. I love that the 16 is the focal point and the use of the trendy arrows is a great idea! Thank you for sharing!
Have. A great day!

You did a great job on this card. It's very hard for me to do a masculine card, I love bling.
