I can be anything! - Chameleon Card + Process VIDEO

Hello friends!

I am excited to share this fast, fun card with you today as well as the process video I created.  It is the first video I have edited in a WHILE, so be patient with me!

I adore his stamp set and could not wait to wait to use it.  While I do use mostly Brutus Monroe products, it's not a card for the Inspiration Team exclusively

I created two versions of the same card; one colored "inside the lines," and the other more simple dollops of color blended together.

Click HERE or below to watch my process video!

 

This is a simple 3x4 stamp and a single sentiment that is part of the set.  There is also the coordinating die, although I didn't use it, choosing to stamp directly onto Tim Holtz Watercolor Cardstock instead.

I stamped the image twice using Brutus Monroe detail ink in Raven and then painted two different styles on each card. I added a sentiment I heat embossed and then mounted the painted cards to a card base.

I added an extra layer of textured turquoise paper on the card base to add a color frame and pop from the white.  Simple, quick, and love that message!

And that's it! So many possibilities!

filled with love - Shaker Card Brutus Monroe

Hello everyone! I am a sharing card that I made for 

the Brutus Monroe Design Team a couple weeks ago.

This card was made using the January Die Of The Month, 'Breakfast Buddies'

and a few other stamps and paper pads, part of the January Set.

I love shaker cards.  I love making them, I love giving them, 

and I love receiving them! So when I saw this sentiment that said 'filled with love,'

I immediately thought about being filled with love AND sequins!

I started by die-cutting the pieces of the coffee cup I would need, going for some kraft cardstock and colors that are a little more realistic.  I used a stamp from the January Sprinkled with Love stamps set that is actually supposed to be sprinkled for a donut.  I used them for adding polka dots to the coffee cup with the Alabaster Pigment Ink, which is amazing!

I used the Brutus Monroe foam adhesive to cut out the coffee cup as well.

After die-cutting the coordinating sentiment I added a gold dipped look with heat embossing and the Gilded Embossing Powder.  I also chose a piece of the 6x6 patterned paper set for the card base background.

I die-cut a piece of white cardstock for the frame and several layers of foam adhesive strips to create the pocket for the sequins and confetti.  I wanted the coffee cup to be on the outside so the shaker pocket was almost the size of the card base.

I misted a piece of paper for the back of the shaker pocket with the Chroma Mist in Green Glow and sealed it all up!

I put the coffee cup pieces together and then mounted everything onto the shaker pocket and then onto the patterned paper and card base.

I love the way it turned out and I know this will be used

multiple times as a future gift card holder!

I'm going to be posting on a more consistent period including

some process videos too! Have a great day!

Sprinkled with Love - BRUTUS MONROE First Project

 Hello everyone!  Today, I am excited to share the first project

I created for the Brutus Monroe inspiration team!

The 'Sprinkled with Love' stamp set was perfect for a simple grid patterned card.

 Coloring the stamped images was fun and easy using the 

'Chroma Mists,' in Blue glow and Pink glow.

Adding a few drops of the mists into my palette and added a drop

or two of water, even adding a couple drops of the pink mixing

 a little blue as well.  I knew I wanted to set out. the card 

in the way I stamped them out, but planned to cut them out.

 The washes turned out pretty light in tone and adding

another layer in places worked great as a way to add some

contrast and a bit of depth on the donuts.

I left all the sprinkle hearts and spots with no paint so I could go back

and add white thick gesso on each of the sprinkles.

The last donut meant for the right corner was the one that

had a bite out of it. I colored it pink and turned it to the side

so it looked like a "C."  I added a coat of 'Candy Coat' in blue

& pink to the respective donuts.

After mounting each donut on foam dots I adhered the card base to a

piece of patterned paper from the 6x6 'Sprinkled with Love' Paper pad.

I added the coordinating sentiment with Alabaster embossing

powder onto a black banner strip.

And that's it! It could be a cute baby card too!

Thanks and cheers to you for stopping by the Blog today.

JOY - A simple Holiday Card (& video)

Hi there!  I am sharing a Card I created with the intent to make it within 5-7 minutes!  Ha!
That didn't work.  But, it is still a simple, fairly quick card, that would be easily replicated.
I filmed the process so you can see how I made it and exactly how long it did take.

You can click on the link below or HERE to go directly to YouTube Channel.

I used an Snowflake embossing folder from Sizzix on a plain piece of white cardstock and after

running it thru my Gemini Jr. I misted it with Clear Shimmer Mist from Avery Elle.

I added foam tape to the back of it and adhered it to another piece of Pearlescent Cardstock

from Tonic Studios that was glued onto the face of my card base.

Using a piece of 6x6 silver cardstock from Tonic Studios, I die cut this large,

intricate snowflake from Tim Holtz for Sizzix.

I die cut the "Adore Alpha" letters from Pinkfresh Studio out of this gorgeous red glitter

cardstock and only used the outside halo card of the letters. Layering all the die cuts,

I adhered them onto the dry embossed piece with liquid glue.

To finish up the card, I added two colors of Nuvo Crystal Drops around the snowflakes.

Thanks for stopping by the Blog today.
I'm going to try again with another timed card, but will definitely give myself more time.

Have a great day or if you're in the U.S., Happy Thanksgiving!

SENDING YOU hugs - Card & Video

Hello!  It has been a hot minute, or a few months since my last Blog Post!

We moved put our house on the market, sold it, bought a new house and moved all in 4 weeks!  And started renovating the new house right when we moved in and started kids in new schools...whew!

It has been a crazy few months and I am finally getting to a place where I can unpack and start creating cards and scrapbook again.

I have missed it so much!  So, I was feeling the Fall colors and love and created

this card below using this gorgeous red rubber background stamp from Neat & Tangled.

You can click on the video below or HERE to go to my YouTube Channel directly.

I heat embossed that large background in white so I could use it as a resist for blending Distress Oxide inks for my sunset.

I think it would be fun to emboss it in gold as well.

I used some images from Lawn Fawn that I had previously colored and added a die cut sentiment,

a small stamped sentiment and some Nuvo Crystal drops.

A simple card and video to get me back into the swing of things!

I am going to be filming my new space and the organizing I will be doing too.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

Supplies Used:

Cards from Creativation 2019 - Tonic Studios

Even though it is June, I still wanted to share the cards I created for the Tonic Studios booth at Creativation 2019 this past January.  All of these cards were created using the ‘Adorables’ Stamp & Die Sets and colored with Nuvo alcohol markers, as well as other Tonic products.

This first card I used different sizes of the Tonic Basic circle dies to cut out circles for these colored images from the ‘Ellie Goes Nuts’ set.  I used some of the Hybrid Inks to blend color underneath the circles.  I heat embossed the sentiment that is parts of the stamp set.  I covered the balloon in Nuvo Crystal Drops to give it the shine.

The next card, I used one of the Patterned Panel Dies to cut a panel out of white cardstock.  I adhered it to another piece of A2 sized cardstock and misted them both using Nuvo Mist in Turkish Rose.  I cut out a scalloped circle from the misted piece and added foam tape to the back.

I used Distress Oxide Inks to blend the area behind the scalloped opening and added this skunk and other elements from the ‘Scent Wiff Love’ set.  I love the speech bubble with its hearts and free form shape. 

For the final card, I used the Adorables ‘Kirby & Lulu’s Wash Day’ stamp set to create this window border shaker card.  I used a couple different stitched border frame dies for both the window and outside frame.  I used a combination of acetate & vellum behind the frame as a background for my shaker elements and the sentiment.

I used dimensional foam tape to pop up the center shaker portion and add some patterned paper between the two frames.  I used several types of Nuvo confetti and glitter for the shaker bits.  I adhered all my colored images from the stamp set and from a couple other new Tonic ones to the outside the acetate.  I heat embossed the sentiment in black onto vellum and added Some detail with a white gel pen.

That’s it!  It took a while to post these, but wanted to spread them out between several weeks and other projects!  There are so many recent, fun examples of projects using the Adorables sets, check them out! 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great week!
