Hello my friends!
I'm back this afternoon with a fun card to share which I made for my grandson's 16th birthday last week!
My 'kids' are RACERS and that includes the grandkids. So it was only fitting that I would make Jon a card with CARS and metal looking stuff on it! Now mind you, he is NOT into this type of old, hot rod car ... he's more of a truck, SUV, dragster kind of kid. (see photo & video below) But I knew the fact that it had cars on it, he'd appreciate my efforts.
I have used the Crafty Secrets 'Car Classics' which is now available in digital form at Crafty Vintage Girl. By using the digital files, it makes it really easy to manipulate the images in size and spacing to create a scene as I have on this card front.
I've used the Sizzix 'diamond plate' embossing folder and silver metallic cardstock to create the 'metal' look on this card. (could NOT think of the name of that stuff [diamond plate] and had to call daughter Carolyn to get it before I went crazy! LOL!)
Again I have turned this A6 size card into a gift card holder card.
Base card is cut at 6 1/4" x 11 and scored at 4 1/2" and 9". This gives you a 2" gift card pocket on the inside to hold a gift card or cash. If you'd prefer, you can cut it at a 10" length which would give you only a 1" pocket.

I hope you've enjoyed today's Crafty Secrets masculine card and I will leave you with a video of my grandson racing on the 1/4 mile track at Quaker City Raceway in Salem, OH.
WARNING: Video is NOISY ... after all ... you're at the RACETRACK!!
Driver is Jon and Frank, his dad, (who also races - '67 Camero) is the guy helping to get him lined up.
ENJOY LIFE ... it goes by quickly!!
As always ...
