Summer Hello Cards – Simon Says Stamp July Card Kit!

Just a couple of straight forward cards I made using the July Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp! The card on the right was inspired by Heather Hoffman’s card shown on the inspiration/idea insert that comes in the kit! These cards also fit nicely into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge this week, and MarciLB’s “Tis the Season: SUMMER” challenge over at scrapbook.com!

Shaker Card! The splatters are Distress Oxides, and the pink for the sentiment is Lawn Fawn!

I used a circle thinlet to cut the circles in the top and underlying foam for the shakers!

This one was 100% inspired by the card done by Heather Hoffman shown on the inspiration/idea insert in the kit!
