Simon Says Stamp June Card Kit - Masculine Cards

I am now a proud member of the Simon Says Stamp Monthly Card Kit!  For months (like for almost two years now), I have enviously watched friends subscribe to all these fancy shmancy scrapbooking kit clubs like Studio Calico or Gossamer Blu.  If you have seen my craft closet under the stairs, you will understand why I just couldn't justify getting more stuff.  Well, I finally figured out a way to talk myself into a subscription kit (yeah, it wasn't that hard) and I couldn't be happier!

If you caught my last blog post, you already saw two cards I made with the kit featuring some awesomeness from Xyron, Ephiphany Crafts, and Splendid Fiins.  I love how quickly my cards came together with just the pieces from the kit, some reliable Xyron adhesive, and other basic supplies.  I am a slow crafter and you cannot believe how shocked I was when I made these six cards in less than three hours!  And thankfully, they are perfect for this week's challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog (to create a masculine/ father's day card).  Make sure to check them out if you need some motivation to scrap or create!

1.  Fact Card.  The sentiment was totally inspired by this video I watched by Kristina Werner for Simon Says Stamp.

Other Supplies:  Xyron Mega Runner, DIY Foam Tape, Martha Stewart Border Punch, Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher, Uni-ball Signo Broad White Gel Pen.

2.  Do Something Awesome Card.  There are always so much cute sentiments in the Basic Grey snippets that come in the kit.  They remind me of the Elle's Studio tags.
 

Other Supplies: Xyron Mega Runner, DIY Foam Tape, Banner Pennant Stamp (Stampin' Up), WRMK Corner Rounder, Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher, Uni-ball Signo Broad White Gel Pen.

3.  Where in the World Card.  I love how a lot of the stamps in the Kelly Purkey Stamp Set can easily be combined to make a longer sentiment like this one here.  And those Kelly Purkey letter stamps are the PERFECT size for cards!
 

Other Supplies:   Xyron Mega Runner, DIY Foam Tape, Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher.

 4.  Hello Dude Card.  The solid stamps are perfect for stamping directly on the patterned paper.

Other Supplies: Xyron Mega Runner, DIY Foam Tape, Banner Pennant Stamp (Stampin' Up), WRMK Corner Rounder, Brads (Oriental Trading Company), WRMK Corner Rounder, Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher, Uni-ball Signo Broad White Gel Pen.

5.  Hero Card.  I love a simple one layer card.  Add some mustache washi tape and you have perfection in my book!

6.  You Are Amazing Card.  This card was a lot cooler in my head.  The ties in the top corner were supposed to look like pennant strips.  Note so much.  But I do like how the "You Are" sentiment looked inside that banner stamp by Stampin' Up.

Other Supplies: Xyron Mega Runner, DIY Foam Tape, Banner Stamp (Stampin' Up), WRMK Corner Rounder.

As always, thanks for stopping by!
