Guy Cards with Victory Papers

Here are the pictures from the Guy Card Workshop last week.   We had fun creating these masculine cards.  

First, the card box:   they are so fun to put together.   This one has a pewter badge button on the front, 4 Durable Pewter Studs on the top, and 2 photo corners from the Pewter Mini Medley on the front.   I also cut out the words GUY CARDS for the top.  The box and the papers are distressed with desert sand ink.

 Two of my favorite embellishments from the Spring/Summer Idea Book were used on our Guy Cards:  Tough Tags and Durables:

 We primarily used the Pure Adventure Stamp Set - I love this stamp set!

 Here's Card #1 Born Tough:   We used leathering (rubbing the stamp pad over a piece of card stock (in this case Olive on Olive) that is flat on a piece of scratch paper.   To get the hexagon-shaped papers, we went low-tech and traced around the Born Tough Tough Tag - simple.   The brads are antique copper.

 Card #2 Triumph:   Again, we did some leathering, and sponged edges, along with our stamping and embellishments.   Natural Hemp, shown here, was used on a few of our cards.

 Card #3:  Adventure is a State of Mind:   Stamped on an Art Philosophy Cricut Shape.   I love my AP cartridge!  We used the elk, duck and fish stamps too!  The plaid paper featured here is one of my favorite prints from this Idea Book.

 Card #4  Incredible:  pretty much lifted from the Idea Book - that's what that book's for!  We used the spray pen on the colonial white circle for a different look.

 Card #5 Limited Edition:   No stamping on this card - easy peasy!

 Here's a close-up of this Tough Tag:   I'll have to send this card to Scott - his birthday is June 23rd!  They were off by one year though!

 Card #6 Genuine Quality:   We used a zip strip (the star paper) off of one of the Victory papers - love those zip strips.   We used Just a Number Stamp Set - it has some great sentiments.

 Here's the inside:   Boy, isn't that the truth!

 Card #7:  This is the bottom right quarter of one of the papers - pretty neat - we just added copper brads.

 Card #8 You're a Star:   This card is taken from the Workshop on the Go Kit instructions.   There are some new card patterns, and this is one - instructions are on my website.  We made a slit on the folded edge of the card base so we could wrap the hemp around the front of the card.  A Dimensional Element Star and Durable complete this card.

 Card #9 Pure Adventure Elk Card:  We used stars again, along with some stamping for this card.

 Card #10 Unmatched Style:  Here we go with another zip strip, a bit of stamping and another Tough Tag - fun!
