'Hello' card - Creating Your Own Pattern

Hello friends!  Thanks for stopping by the Blog today.

I am sharing another project I created for Brutus Monroe using

the Sprinkled with Love 6x6 Paper Pad. 

I have a sketchbook I carry around with me everywhere.

Lately, I have been trying out some drawing apps on my iPad Pro

and have gotten to like them a lot.  I miss paper too much to

use all digital, but this is a little peek at my digital "journal"

I have been using.

The card came out looking a lot like the sketch and that forethought

always makes the design execution more fun and easier for me!

I used a small diamond die to die cut out different patterns from the

paper pad as well as a couple pieces of paper I painted with

yellow Aqua Pigment and Velveteen Glaze in Teal Taffy.

I added foam adhesive dots under the teal pieces for some dimension

and interest and cut out the sentiment from the January Die of the Month!

Thanks again for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

SWEET! Brutus Monroe DT - Slimline Shaker Card

Happy Friday friends!

The sun is shining, the sky is blue and it makes me long for Spring!

But, before that can happen, we need to celebrate Valentine's Day AND another shaker card!

This is a slimline card for the Brutus Monroe Inspiration Team

Using the 'Sprinkled With Love' Stamp set.  The stamp set mostly features donuts and sweet treats,

but I wanted to use the hearts to make something a little unexpected.

Using the Chroma Glitter Glaze in Navy, I coated the cardstock behind my shaker openings.

While it was drying, I die cut 4 scalloped circles in the card front and added some foam tape to create space for the shaker areas.

The most difficult part was heat embossing these hearts using Alabaster Embossing Powder onto acetate. I used heat-resistant acetate, but it can still warp if you heat it too directly. Despite using a powder tool, My craft room is full of static and a tornado of dust, glitter, and everything that will stick to acetate. It took a couple tries, but I think the results are totally worth the effort!

Then the fun part, of adding the sequins and putting it all together!

Thanks for stopping by today and hope you have a sweet, sunny weekend!!
