Hey there! The blog hop yesterday was awesome! If you haven't hopped through our Christmas in July hop, go back to yesterday's post and start hoppin'! You'll be glad you did!

I made today's card for my granddaughter's boyfriend, Zach . . . . . . . . . .

You heard that right.

Maddie Kate has a boyfriend? How did this happen?

She's fourteen. He's now 16. They don't car date, they group date and date with either his family or hers. I started dating my husband when I was 14, so now I might be starting to feel a "little" old.

He is also an exceptionally thoughtful,  caring, God-loving, tall, handsome young man. I couldn't attend his party, but I sent this:

 I used the Mini Treat Bag Thinlet Die again. Are you shocked?

I made a gift card holder for the insert. You can't have a self-respecting birthday card without a little money it!

 To give the greeting a baseball look,  I used the Updated Essentials Paper-Piercing Template, Paper-Piercing Tool, and Stampin' Pierce Mat to pierce the double-curved lines, adding "stitching" with a Real Red marker.

 For the insert "pull" I stamped a mini-birthday cake!

Here's the supply list so you can make a card for your "Zach". You will find everything you need to order in my online store: carolpayne.stampinup.net
