So today is my first opportunity to share in a monthly segment on Everyday Cricut where I show a guy's approach to paper crafting. I made a number of projects and wanted to share a few more with you on my blog. There is blog candy to be had! To have a chance to win--become a follower and leave a comment below. There will be two lucky winners. One will receive the Cricut Songbird cartridge featured in all of my projects today and another will win the K&Company: Amy Butler patterned paper pad.
You can DOUBLE your chance to win by going over to Everyday Cricut and checking out the additional projects over there and leaving a comment. Winners will be announced next Wednesday right here on Scrapguy!!!
I used Cord'inations WhiteOut and embossed with the Cuddle bug Divine Swirls and sanded it down. Only three gems to add a little bling but not make it to in your face.
size is A7
I embossed a cut of metallic paper for the main cut. I used another Fiskers edge punch, the velvet ribbon again, and heat embossing to complete this 5*5 card.
I used a SU embossing folder and Cord'inations WhiteOut--again with the sanding. Remember I am a guy and we all like our tools and I consider a Tim Holtz Sanding block a tool! Embossed the flower pot and used pattern paper for the shadow. Size is A7
Here are a few examples to show a guy can use pink paper as well! LOL!
I love the flat bow which I made in a two step process (1 make the loops, 2 wrap a pc around the center of the loops). Cut the birdcage and top notes and added rows of bling to the cage base. Size is A2
This card base is also from Cricut Songbird. I took a top note shape--sized to be A2 and copied it on my gypsy. I lined them up welded and POOF! a fancy card base was born. I also sized a top note for the front. I debossed the card base so the inside had a lot of WOW as well. Sanded again. Embossed again. Inked the edges of a white top note for the inside and heat embossed the sentiment. Here is the cut file for this card--it is in googledocs and can be easily downloaded!
I wanted something simple yet special. I added bling to the ribbon and some glimmer mist to the dark grey birdbath cut. Used the cuddle bug again and think it came out great. Do not be afraid to alter your ribbon with bling, ink, sanding, or washing.
Remembre to check out the sister post on Everyday Cricut and leave comments for you chance to win! While you are there be sure to enter to win the expression they are giving away--you can also click HERE.
Thanks for coming by and we will see you next week!

Bryan, I love your take on the Songbird cart and the less frilly approach to the cards. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to have found you. It is really hard sometimes to create a nice card that is man friendly. I am going to love seeing your creations. Thanks for taking the time to share.
ReplyDeleteDebbie from The Colony
I love your more masculine take on cards, I myself a female dislike so much girlie stuff. My fav card is the the embossed metal bird and branch. I might need to get this cart.
ReplyDeletethese designs speak to me...they let the receiver just enjoy the message and feel the serenity of the design not try to figure out if and where the sentiment is on the card amidst all the fru fru! i've been a follower for awhile and still say, how refreshing each time you post! congrats again on the everyday cricut gig!!!
ReplyDeleteWow!! Great cards!! Thanks for showing more of the Songbird Cart...I haven't been able to see good examples of all it has to offer.
ReplyDeleteSuper cards. I like your use of metallic paper - hadn't thought of that.
ReplyDeleteThese cards are amazing. I love your use of the songbird cart in such a simple but elegant way! Thanks so much for sharing. Glad to be a new follower of your blog! Heard about you on the ustream chat for EdCricut.
ReplyDeleteThe cards are really neat and I love the ideas for the guys in my life. Found you on the Everyday Cricut, and I'm excited to see what's next!! I love my Songbird cart, and agree that not too many seem to use it. The K Company paper will be a terrific prize to win. Good luck to everyone, and Bryan, keep up the great ideas. BethAnn M
ReplyDeleteFinally, some guy-card options! I'm not extremely good at color selections, so I tend to look for example cards to emulate on all of the card making blogs. These cards are man-tastic!! Thanks for sharing, Bryan!
ReplyDelete--Susan
The cards are great! I tend to ink alot too! And I like sanding the edges as well. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

ReplyDeleteChristina Alvarez
Your cards are beautiful, and I love your take on the Songbird cartridge.

ReplyDeletethanks for all of your ideas.

ReplyDeleteI love The way the paper and the cuts came out. I cant wait until my hubby comes home so I came show him your blog. He has tried to surprise me by making me cards with my cricut. I think seeing a mans approach might help inspire him. TFS

I love the first card you posted. Love blue - my entire house is painted in shades of blue. I am going to have to look for that great white core-dinations paper - I haven't seen that one at my Jo-Ann's.

Wow Bryan!!!! great cards. You have given me such great ideas on doing man's cards. My husband is not a crafter,but he enjoys watching me making cards and layouts. He says he won't do it ,not because he is a man,but because he does not have a crafting bone in his body. I disagree. I think he is very crafty. Anyhow, thanks for sharing your talent and given me an apportunity to win such great blog candy!! (scrappyfrannie)
ReplyDeleteJust super ... love your perspective ... great cards!
ReplyDeleteJo xx
I love how you embossed and sanded or inked the bird images! That is a great idea--totally going to lift that one!
ReplyDeleteWOW! The second card (with 'Congratulations') is amazing. I really love the colors and the overall look of it!! Thank you for sharing these wonderful ideas!!!!
ReplyDeleteCeleste

Great ideas for cards. I will subscribe, to see what other ideas you come up with, and likely steal a few!
ReplyDeleteMary
Great Man cards on the Everday Cricut e-mail. Guy ones are just hard so I love some ideas.
ReplyDeleteLaurelle Rollo
I am so glad to see a male view point and ideas for making cards and scrapbook lay outs. I have always struggled with making cards for may male friends.
ReplyDeleteBTW your not the only one who needs "tools" to for crafting. My husband supply of sand paper, basal wood, dowels... for his hobby keeping ending up on my scraping table.....Go figure
.gail
So awesome to see cards from a man's point of view. Love them all. You do great work.
ReplyDeleteI have just jumped into cardmaking myself - I've been a scrapbooker since I was a kid. Fairly new to Cricut & LOVE IT! Great to have a guy's take on all this which will help me make stuff for my DH & bosses. I am now rethinking the Songbird cart -- it was not on my radar until now. I'm discovering the hazards of blogs, as they tend to make me want it all! Love Everyday Cricut & your blog. So helpful!
ReplyDeleteBryan,
ReplyDeleteFinally - a blog I can refer to when I am looking for masculine cards! I've become a follower and bookmarked your blog to return more often.
I love seeing more masculine cards. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I have missed your blog for so long, It is great! I will be coming here to visit and get that GUYS way of card making! And you did a great job using pink!
ReplyDeletethanks for the chance to win!

Great cards Bryan! I especially like the bold pattern paper on the last one. My fav. paper is the core'dinations and was thrilled to see so many projects with it, sand block is a tool!

Love having a guy's perspective and "guy" projects.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to dust off my songbird and make some cards today! These are great!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for giving us cards that my guys would like. I really liked that you used "Songbird" which I did think of as mainly a font cart--you showed me so many more possibilities. Again thank you for sharing your time and talent.
ReplyDeleteHello, wonderful cards, that cart looks
ReplyDeletejust awesome, TFS
I am going to follow as well!

Always love your stuff. I really like the grays you used.
ReplyDeleteWOW Bryan, I had a busy week at school and haven't been by. You have been one busy guy. I love all the cards from this week, and these are all different from the ones at Everyday Cricut. I really love the Monday card with the lamb. That is so cute. Well dare it all the cards this week were great. Way to go ScrapGuy!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I subscribed to your blog and became a follower! It is really hard for me to make a male card! Finally, someone to share his male card ideas! I can't wait to see what else you share! Love those that shared with us
ReplyDelete!
Thank you for being a part of Everyday Cricut.
ReplyDeletesmgoodie smgunderscoregdpathotmaildotcom
Absolutely love your cards!!! TFS
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I love the more masculine feel of them. I'm always trying to think of more masculine ideas, as I have only boys. I agree that there aren't enough 'guy' cartridges. It's getting better what with the BatMan and the Superman carts. But what about guys who hunt or fish? One of my first carts was Camp Out. And I love the things I can do with that. Have you used it before? I'd love to see your take on the cuts. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteHi Bryan, I'm happy to see a man's perspective on our obsession. Looking forward to seeing what you do.
ReplyDeleteSo good to get a male take on ways to craft! Had not paid much attention to Songbir- will have to check it out on my CDS. Thanks
ReplyDeleteGreat cards and colors! I am a follower too.
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to have a guy approach to card making! I make cards for our church family and I can use male oriented cards. Yours are great!
ReplyDeleteGreat job. This is great for all guys. WTG!!! I am now a follower
ReplyDeleteSongbird wasnt a cartridge I was interested in as I have 2 boys. Thanks for putting a guys spin on it, I'll have to add it to my collection! Thanks!! Keep up the Great Job!!
ReplyDeleteI just read through your blog and I love all of the things that you do. super duper job
ReplyDeleteBryan...you did another batch for your blog?....yummy!

ReplyDeleteBryan, you are a Godsend!!! I love the Songbird cart and truly would love to be the winner of it! Your cards are gorgeous and I super enjoyed looking at your past projects. I have so many ideas now!
ReplyDeleteThanks - Candice J
Fabulous cards! I have one husband and two sons that I can now make good cards for!!! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteBryan,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your creations! It's so refreshing to see scrapbooking and cardmaking from a male point of view! I like the sanding idea too, gives it such a unique look. I, too, haven't paid much attention to the songbird cartridge, but after your cards and tips, I'm thinking this is one I might need to add to my collection! Thanks for your hard work, the cards are fantastic!
My favorite is the birdie in the fountain that is mostly brown. Never thought brown could look so good. And the bling is just right. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat Cards. Nice to see something from the male point of view. I would love to download your top note card but I don't have Songbird. I would love to win the one you are giving away.
ReplyDeletemks
Bryan, you do great work. I especially like the bird inn cage card. TFS

Wow! you were a busy Scrap Guy indeed! :) I've been following you so, no need to do that :) I ordered my gyspy at the launch and so loved it that I started my blog and named it around that...sweetsassydiva-gspot aka gypsy spot. :grin: It's great to see you follow my blog as well. I just have to find more time to scrap which is hard with two little ones. :) The gypsy is helping because I can steal a few minutes here and there. Thanks for sharing the great projects and a chance to win some blog candy. It's great to see that's it's ok that my 6 yr old DS likes to play with my gypsy too. :)
ReplyDeleteThese cards are so my style...so nice to have a source of inspiration that is not so "girlie"....cannot wait to see more of your creations.

ReplyDeleteLove your creations! I struggle to make masculine looking cards and layouts...

Bryan, I am so glad you are showing us how to make our cards a little more guyish. I have sons and they aren't into bling and such. I love the bird card with the bird bath. Nice card
