Brutus Monroe Blog Hop -- Anything Goes

Hey there crafty friends!  It's another Wednesday, and that means we are doing another Blog Hop with the Brutus Monroe Inspiration Team!  This week we were challenged to make an Anything Goes card, so I decided to ink up a stamp I hadn't inked up yet.  This one is called the Birthday Bear, and that background in the Spiral Clouds.  I just love these two images together.


I stamped out my clouds using some Embossing Ink and then covered it with the Embossing Powder of the month - Gadgets and Gizmos.  My bear was stamped with the Raven Detail Ink, and then everything was colored with Aqua Pigments.  Those are just so fun to color with.  My sentiment is from the Tree of Thanks set.

If you'd like to see how I made this card, I have a video on my channel:

Brutus Monroe Blog Hop -- Interactive Cards

Welcome back to my blog my crafty friends!  Today is the Brutus Monroe Inspiration Team Blog Hop, and we were challenged to make interactive cards.  I chose a shaker, because I just love shakers.  Seriously, if there is one within reach I can't seem to stop shaking them, lol.  


This card uses both the Paper Cranes set and the Feathered Friends set from Brutus Monroe.  I stamped my cranes onto some Heat Resistant Vellum and then ran them through my Xyron Sticker Maker, so that the adhesive wouldn't show through the vellum.  I'm so happy with how this turned out.  If you'd like to see how I made it, I have a video for you.


And be sure to hop around and check out the rest of the team's take on Interactive Cards.  You won't be disappointed on all of the creativity!

Brutus Monroe Blog Hop -- August Subscription Items

Hello there!  It's Wednesday, and y'all know what that means. . .Brutus Monroe Inspiration Team Blog Hop time!  This time we were challenged to make cards using the August Subscription items.  All of the Subscription products are awesome, so I couldn't wait to get inky.


I used the Die of the Month - Tile, and cut out my background, and then embossed it with the Embossing Powder of the Month - Gadgets and Gismos.  I couldn't resist making a shaker, so I filled one of the Shaker Pouches with some sequins and things from my stash.  Those pouches make it so easy to make shakers.

The Steampunk Owl is the new Stamp of the Month, and I thought it looked so good embossed with the Embossing Powder of the Month.  To color it I used some Aqua Pigment in the color Penny.  This card was quite fun to make :)

If you'd like to see how I made it you can watch the video:


Now be sure to check out the rest of the team's blogs so you can see what they made with the new August Subscription Products.

Brutus Monroe Blog Hop -- Aqua Pigments


Hey everyone, and welcome back to my blog for another Brutus Monroe Inspiration Team Blog Hop!  This week we were challenged to use Aqua Pigments, and I couldn't wait to play along.

I used the Aqua Pigment Paper along with the gorgeous Botanical Banners Stamp set.  I stamped my image using Embossing Ink, and then coated it with Raven Ultra Fine Embossing Powder.  That gorgeous image was colored using the Aqua Pigment colors in Coral, Orange, Yellow Green, and Brass.


Once I was done coloring and assembling the card, I stamped the roses one more time on the inside of the card.  It was stamped with the Embossing Ink to give it that watermark effect.


I also have a video if you'd like to watch the process of how I made this card.



Be sure to head to the rest of the Inspiration Team's blogs for more Aqua Pigment inspiration.  You are going to love what they have made for you!
