Happy Birthday with Nuts and Bolts stamp set

Finding cute stamp sets to make masculine (especially teen boys) birthday cards is always difficult.  This Nuts and Bolts set (# 157650) found on page 13 of the January - June 2022 Mini Catalog is perfect!  Over the month of March, I will be posting cards using the stamp set.  This first one is for a birthday (obviously) and I think it's a card that can be sent to any teenager (boy or girl) and is very easy to complete.

I started with a base card using Gray Granite cardstock and then used one of the stamps in the set and stamped "HB2U' on the Daffodil Delight cardstock as a background. 

Next I stamped one of the three robots on to Basic White cardstock and lightly colored it using So Saffron Stampin' Blends.  Using 2 1/2 inch and 2 3/4 inch punches, I punched two circles.  The white circle was glued to the Gray Granite circle which was then glued to the background.  [Note:  I rotated the circle slightly to make it appear that the robot was walking.  There are three robots in the set from which you can choose to use on this card.  And you could use dies to cut the circles.]

For the sentiment, I used the "Happy Birthday" stamp from the "A Grand Kid" stamp set.  The rectangle shaped postage punch was perfect to create a balloon for the robot to hold with a piece of silver thread from the Simply Elegant Trim package.

Check back next week for another card using this same stamp set!
