Hey there crafters!

I’m sure you have seen the tiny M sized stamps, right? They are just $2.95, and are PERFECT little things! In today’s installment of the Modville My Crush book cards, I used the My Happy stamp set. Like I said, it’s only $2.95, and works great for guys or girls! Let’s take a look, shall we?

I LOVE this card! It was one of the last cards that I did, and used up some of the smaller ‘extra’ pieces to make the banners. On all of the other cards, you won’t see the holes in the pages for the book, but, this card I kept the holes, not that you can see them! Can you guess where?

If you guessed under the baker’s twine, you were right! I used the holes to weave the twine through, to give a nice thick ‘line’ of twine at the top, then I tied a knot in it. I LOVE how it turned out!! Now, in this picture, you can see that it has that silver in it. That’s the part that I took out from yesterday’s truck card.

Now, on this stamp, there is a heart between the two lines on the bottom. I wanted something a little different, so I decided to use one of the White enamel stars, just to set it on top of it. And, as you can see, it covered it perfectly! (it made it seem a bit better to give as a ‘guy’ card . . . I’m all about making a bunch of guy cards with this book!)

This is another super simple card! I used the My Happy stamp and white daisy ink. Then I just added a bit of glacier extra thick twine to give it a pop of color! I could easily have left that off too, and it would still be a great card!

What do you think? Both good cards for guys?

Hey Crafters!

Are you like me, and have a hard time figuring out cards to give to the guys in your life? Well, Check out today’s two cards! They are SUPER easy, and super guy friendly!!

This truck screams GUY card to me! I don’t know about you! This would be perfect for the hubby or boyfriend or special someone in your life that loves trucks (doesn’t have to be a guy!!)

Now, this card is made from the Modville My Crush Book, like yesterdays cards! I just added it to a card base, and decided, after taking all the backing off of the foam tape, that I wanted to add some of the baker’s twine around the tire track on the right side. So, this is what I did. I wrapped it around 3 times, to figure out just how long it should be. Now, if you are familiar with the CTMH Baker’s twine, it has a thread of silver in it. Well, most guys aren’t all about that bling. . . . . so I just took it out of the twine before I re-wrapped and tied it into a knot on that right side.

Here you can see that twine just a bit closer! SUPER simple! There is NO stamping on the front of this card. (the inside is blank, at least for now!)

This next card, I don’t know if it is simpler or not, but it’s still GREAT for a guy! (or anyone, for that matter!)

As you can see, this comes from the same page in the Modville book, it’s that tire track that you saw on the right side of the truck card. I just cut the piece to fit onto my card base, stamped, and glued it directly to the card base (no foam tape on this one). No bling, no twine, super simple CAS (clean and simple) card! I love how the splatters on the tire tracks work perfectly with the grunginess of the stamp set!

So, tell me, which do you think is the more ‘simple’ card to make? The truck with no stamping, but twine added or the happy birthday stamped card?

The June special ends at the end of June, so make sure to take part! When you purchase the My Crush book and matching assortment you will get the coordinating stamp set for free!

Hey everyone!

I don’t know how your month has gone, but mine has been flying by! Shortly the June special will be over! I was crafting with another My Crush book, and it’s all sold out now! So, while I could show you the cards I have made with it, for now, it would just seem to be a bit mean! So, last night, while I was waiting for my daughter to get off work, I put together a fun set of cards! Over the next few days, I will share them with you! The Modville book is still available, as of me typing up this post, so hopefully it is still available, and you can get one and make some of these adorable cards for yourself!

This SUPER fun card is just one layer of the paper from the Modville book, cut to 4″ x 5 1/4″, popped up with some foam tape. I then went over the puddle with some liquid glass to make it shiny and look like she is really jumping into a puddle!

The next card is also a single layer card, also cut at 4 x 5 1/4 and popped with some foam tape. I added 4 enamel stars to the corners of the tricycle card. This would be a fun baby shower card, I think!

I love that the image on the page from the book also has the shadows included in it, so it very much looks like I have put more work into this card! (my daughter was looking through the loose pages, and tried to pick up a square that was this blue polka dot, that was on another page, and she was startled that it was just printed on! It made me giggle last night!)

So, Here’s the special for the month. Purchase a My Crush book and it’s matching assortment and you will get the coordinating stamp set for free! Isn’t that a GREAT deal? These pages are FANTASTIC! You get so very many options of the papers! I’ll be showing more of these cards the next few days! Just to give you a hint, here is a shot of all of the cards (even if you can’t really see all of them!)

The supplies used for these cards:
Modville My Crush Book
White Daisy Value Pack
Liquid Glass
Foam Tape
White Enamel Stars

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have enjoyed the cards! Stay tuned tomorrow for more cards! And, coming up next month, it will be Christmas in July! (both with Convention and with projects that you can make for the upcoming Christmas season!)

I would love to hear your thoughts on my cards! Let me know what you think!
