Hugs and Kisses Challenge Card (Brutus Monroe)

 This month's CYOEchallenge on the Brutus Monore Fan Club Page is:

Break out your sparkles and lets make some fun cards.  I started off the challenge this month with a live YouTube Video and made a Valentine Card. I will share the video at the bottom of this post

This card actually had many steps but it came together quite quickly.

First before I prepared my images (from the My Valentine stamp set) by stamping them on Aqua Pigment Paper and Heat Embossing Icicle Embossing Powder over the Raven Detail Ink.  To save time during the video, I also die cut them out ahead of time.  Next, I started my background.  I took a piece of Rouge Cardstock and one layer of the Zig Hearts Layering Stencil and spread Garnet Glitter Glaze over it.  Once this was dry, I was ready to craft live.

I took the second layer of the stencil and ink blended Simon Hurley Create Crown Me Ink and for the third and final layer, I used the Pearl Embossing Powder over Embossing ink.  Because the Simon Hurley Inks take a min or so to dry, the Crown Me also has some Pearl EP heat set, which changed the color a bit but gave it some shine.

For the envelope, I sprayed some moare Aqua Pigment Paper with Pink Glow and Ornamental Gold Chroma Mist and let it dry.  Then I stamped the large image from Valentine Tag Stamp set with Simon Hurley Game Over Ink.  (this 4x4 stamp can be lined up to repeat the pattern).  The Envelope die is from an older set call Mom's and Dad's Day, and it creates the score lines to fold up the envelope which I adhered with some liquid glue.

I colored the images with a variety of Aqua Pigments and then decided my envelope needed something to break up the background and make it stand out more.  I used the scalloped heart from the My Valentine Coordinating Die set and cut it from Potion Cardstock.  I cut the heart from the center of my mat that I would layer the Zig Pattern layer on.  This saves some cardstock as no one will see that I cut the center out fo the mat layer.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment from the same set in the Crown Me ink on a scrap of white cardstock.  After adhering everything together, I grabbed some gems for a little more Shimmer/Shine from the Buttons Galore Jewelz Bright mix and then attached my matted panel to a Precut Prescored A2 Card Base.

I hope you join the Brutus Monroe Fan Club Page and enter into the montly contest.  The winner is chosen by random draw from the participants.  You can enter up to two (2) projects and you must use at least one (1) Brutus Monroe Product.  Thank you for stopping by and have a great rest of your day!

Fall Greeting Slimline Card (Brutus Monroe)

 

The Fall Harvest sets is one of my favorites from the fall release.  I was so excited to color up these images one I saw this set.  I started with a Precut Slimline panel and stamped the first pumpkin to the left in Raven detail ink.  I colored it in with some Olo Markers and then used the Brutus Monroe Masking Paper to cover my image. Next, I stamped the leaves on the top of the pumpkin and colored those in.

Then I stamped the red/yellow apple, colored it in and masked it off.  I continued these same steps until I had all of my images stamped and colored.  

To add a little interest and color to my panel, I lightly inked the new Modern Web Stencil just above and to the left of my images with Simon Hurley Create. Woof! ink.

Finally, I stamped my greeting from the set and matted the panel with some light green cardstock from my stash.  I added the panel to my Precut Slimline Card panel that I scored and folded at 3.5" and add just a few green gems around my sentiment.

Slim Line Orange you Sweet Card (Brutus Monroe)

Today I have for you a punny slim line card.  I used the Brutus Monroe Keen Mixed Media Stencil on a Precut Slim Line Card Panel.  First I inkblended with Simon Hurley Traffic Cone ink.  Then I used the Orange chroma glaze over the top.  I didn't cover every area of the stencil so there are some Glaze parts and some inky parts.  

Next, I cut down my panel slightly and attached it on my Pre Card Slim line card base, which I scored and folded at 3.5" on the 7" side.  I used a piece of 1" x 8.5" white scrap cardstock for my sentiment.  I stamped both this punny sentiment and the Oranges with the same Traffic Cone ink and lightly colored in the oranges with Olo Markers.  Both the sentiment and Oranges are from the Breakfast Puns stamp set.

GIU Day 5--Last Day

 It's my last day for the Growing in Unity Week.  This week just flew by.  I hope you have enjoyed my cards as much as I did making them.  

Today I have another Slim line card.  It was inspired by my guy.  He is the best and he is my biggest fan and supporter (maybe even more than my mom! ) 😲  Shh don't tell her!

I did another watercolor card as I am having fun practicing my skills.  This time, I made my background with the Hit the Bricks background stamp.  Heat embossing clear embossing powder over Black Pigment ink.  I only stamped it part at the top and bottom as I knew the middle would be covered.

To color it, I sprayed the whole thing with a ton of water.  Then I added liquid water color to the top in random areas.  I used a red and brown color.  I sprayed it again with water to get the pigments moving and then twisted and turned it.  Then I smooshed it on my glass mat.  I used the left over to smoosh color on the bottom section.  After drying it with my heat tool, I did a bit more smooshing and then set it aside to dry completely.

For my image, I used Forrest Guy and after heat setting the same ink and embossing powder, I painted him in with Aqua Pigments.  Then I fussy cut him out.  Added a bit of the same red and brown to the edges.

I stamped my sentiment with White Pigment ink and covered with white embossing powder on a scrap of black paper. (I find I get a cleaner and bright white look using White ink with white embossing powder.)  Then once everything was dry I attached it all together.

Rainbow Swirl Stencil Christmas Card

 

Today I bringing you a Christmas Card featuring the Rainbow Spiral Stencil. I used 4 Simon Hurley Create. Inks.  Two Reds (Love Struck and Game Over) and two greens (Overzealous and Fake Plant).  I started with Love Struck and blended the first stripe.  After I wiped the excess ink off the stencil, I used the lines on the stencil to line up my spiral and then blended with Game Over. I wiped the stencil off again, relined it up with Overzealous and then repeated with Fake Plant.

Continuing to wipe off my stencil between inks, I completed the spiral alternating back and fourth between the red and green inks until my circle was complete.  Next I used some watered down Pearl Aqua Pigment and a paint brush to cover the entire blended area.  This gives the spiral lots of shimmer and shine.

I trimmed the panel to 4" x 5.25" with my paper cutter. Using my scissors, I trimmed out the spiral around the outside and used a circle die to cut out the center.  I adhered the Spiral to and A2 Top folding Card base, lining up the spiral edge with the right edge of my card base. 

Next, I used another circle die to cut some Red Glitterstock for the center of my spiral.  I adhered this with some foam tape.  For a focal point, I stamped one of the elves from Crafty Elves with Raven Detail Ink on Perfect Blend Alcohol paper and colored him in with Copic markers.  After I fussy cut him out, I added some shimmer to the yellow on his outfit and to the red ribbon on the package (also with some watered down Pearl Aqua Pigment).

For my sentiment, I stamped the Merry Christmas from the Snowflake Swirl stamp set with Fake Plant and trimmed it down.  I adhered both my sentiment and elf to the center of the Glitterstock circle with liquid glue.

Finally, I added just a touch of more sparkle with some sequins from my stash.

Brutus Monroe You Brighten My Day Rainbow Card

 

I love foiling and today I thought I would share a card that had a focal panel with some of Brutus Monroe Toner Mixable sheets.  I started by foiling my Rainbow panel from the Really Radiant Toner Mixables pack with some Deco Foil Transfer Sheets in Rainbow. Then, I cut the panel and a black mat down with a stitched frame from my stash and adhered them together.

Next, I stamped out my sentiment form the Dogwood Spring Stamp set with Distress Oxide Villainous Potion ink and covered it with Icicle Embossing Powder.  After heat setting, I used the coordinating die to cut it out and matted it on a black frame cut from a stitched die from my stash.  

For some interest, I cut some vellum with the leaves from the Fabulous Florals Die set (3 times) and sprayed them with some shimmer spray to add some shine.  I also sprayed the back of leaves with some Pixie Spray to add adhesive to the back and layered them on the front of my foiled panel.  I used liquid glue to attach my matted sentiment over the ends of my leaves so help keep them in place.  Finally, I adhered the entire thing to a white A2 card base.

You're My Favorite Dad (Brutus Monroe June 2022 Stencil of the month)

 

Since Father's Day is this weekend, I thought I would show you the card I made for my dad.  Sometimes its hard to know what to use for a masculine card and my go-to is usually a brown and a blue color.

I started with the June 2022 Stencil of the month Groovy Grid.  Using my Stick and Stamp Mat and coordinating Blending Buddy, I placed my 4.25" x 5.25" white card panel in the middle, with the stencil on top.  I used my blending tools to add Simon Hurley Creates Grrr! and Clear Skies inks in a random panel over the stencil.

Then I cut the panel and a brown mat with some stitched rectangle dies from my stash.  I cut the dad from the center of my brown mat (since it will be covered by my panel).  

Next I cut out two of the smaller and one of the larger leaves from the Fabulous Florals set and ink blended some Clear Skies ink over them. I just used what was left on my brushes and did a light coat so that some of the white cardstock showed through as well.

For my companion sentiment, I stamped the You're my Favorite (from Super Sentimental) in Clear Skies in and cut it out with a stitched die from my stash.  To soften the white of the circle, I lightly blended some of the leftover Grrr! ink from my brush around the edges and along the edges of my dad letters (cut from an alphabet set in my stash).

After I matted the card panel and mat to my Precut A2 Card base, I used the Dad letters to line up my circle sentiment and leaves.  Finally, I added my DAD over the top of the leaves and just overlapping the bottom of my companion sentiment a bit.

Here is a look at my card one more time:

Thanks for joining me today.  Have a fabulous rest of the week and remember to create something everyday!  

 

Love Grows here Slim Line card (Brutus Monroe)

It has been awhile since I had a blog post.  I started a new job last fall and have been attempting to balance my crafting and work life. So today,  I have a slim line card today featuring the stencil of the month and a variety of stamps from the Brutus Monroe.  All of these stamps come from the April Subscription products and I have the links below.

I started by using a slim line precut panel and place it on my Stick and Stamp mat.  I turned the Stencil of the month (called Vintage Tile) on the diagonal over my panel.  I used some post-it note tape to cover the corners of my panel to keep them clean while I blended.  Using some blending brushes and some Simon Hurley Inks for my design, I used each color about a third of the way across the stencil.  I started blending at the top with Shooting Star ink.  In the middle, I used Traffic Cone and ended with Bee Sting, overlapping the inks slightly for a transition.  To remove my panel from the Stick and Stamp mat, I carefully roll the edges of my mat (gently) until the panel "pops" off.  Then I used my Stick and Stamp Mat Mist Cleaner to wipe off an ink.

I then took another piece of the precut slimline panels and blended the same three inks along the edges to create a mat layer that matched my stencil.  I cut the stenciled piece down slightly to about 3" and placed it on my mat, which was cut to about 3.25"  I then used tape runner to attach it to my Precut Slimline card base.

For my images I use some of the images from Bountiful Blooms and Love Grows Here and stamped them on Perfect Blend Alcohol Paper with Raven Detail ink.  I colored in my images with a variety of Copic markers and then cut them out with my Scan and cut.

I arranged the images to on the bottom right of my panel and attached them with liquid glue.  To finish my card, I used the sentiment from the April Stamp of the Month, and adhered it right above my stamped and colored images.  (The stamp+ club is the the stamp of the month and coordinating die which you can find here.)

I can be Anything! featuring Brutus Monroe's Nov ATC Kit Unique Pets

 

Today I bring you a fun card featuring the stamp from the November ATC kit-Unique Pet.  I started by choosing a background from my stash that I made with Alcohol ink on Yupo paper.  After treating the front with my antistatic bag, I stamped the Chameleon with the Brutus Monroe Embossing ink and covered it with Raven Detail Embossing Powder.  I carefully heat set the powder, making sure to not get my heat tool too close to the paper (Yupo paper is plastic) and to continue to move my heat tool until all the powder was melted.  

For my back ground I used the Circle Tone stencil and blended Simon Hurley Creates Overzealous ink.  Before I removed my stencil, I spread Fallen Snow Glitter Glaze.  I removed the stencil and cleaned everything up.  While I left my panel to dry, I fussy cut out the Chameleon.  Then I found a light green piece of paper from my scrap bin and stamped the sentiment from the set with Raven Detail ink.  

I took the largest branch from the Birdhouse Builder Set and cut it out of wood grain paper. Once my panel was dry (about 30 mins) I used liquid glue to attach everything the the front of my panel.  Then I used some adhesive to attach the panel to my white A2 card base.

Brutus Monroe Oh My Gourd Aqua Pigment Shaker Card

I started with a piece of Black Watercolor paper and some White and Pearl Aqua Pigments on my glass mat.  I sprayed the Aqua Pigments with a little water and then pressed my watercolor paper into it.  I kept ink smooshing my paper and drying in between until I was happy with my pattern.  Next I used the Oh my Gourd die and ran my panel through my die cut machine, keeping the negative for my card and putting the die cut aside for now.

Then, I cut about 6 -8 more of the negative panels with the die from white scrap cardstock and glued them all together.  I used some strong double sided tape to the back of my black die cut panel and attached a piece of acetate to the panel.  Then I used more strong double sided tape to the front stacked white die cut pieces.   I flipped over the stacked panels with the negative or frame.  I temporarily placed the Oh my Gourd die cut into the center of the negative stacked piece. After spreading liquid glue all over the Oh my Gourd die cut piece and carefully lined up my A2 Card base on top.  After gently flipping it over, I removed the negative/frame piece and pressed the Oh my Gourd die cut piece in place.  

Then I added some glitter and sequins to the center of my card panel, right in the center of the Gourd.  Then I added more double stick tape and some liquid glue to the negative/frame piece.  I attached it to the front of my  card base creating a shaker card.  Then I took a piece of white cardstock and stamped the hell Gourd-Geous sentiment with Raven Detail ink and cut it out with a banner die.  I attached the sentiment to the front of the panel to finish the card.

Brutus Monroe Grateful For You Slim Line Card

I started by taking Bee Sting, Sike! and Slippery When Wet inks from Simon Hurley Creates and blended up a couple of white card panels.  Then I used my antistatic bag to treat the front of the panels, lined them up (individually) in my Original Misti and stamped both of the leaf images from Grateful Greetings with Brutus Monroe Embossing Ink.  I covered the ink with Gilded Embossing Powder and heat set it.  (I repeated this until I had 6 embossed images--I only needed 5).

Next I cut out each of the Embossed panels with the coordinating die, and trimmed the end off with my paper trimmer.  I also cut out 10 pieces of the die cut with Kraft paper.  I stacked two of each die cut together with liquid glue and attached one of my Inkblended/Embossed images on top.  This creates dimension for the front of my card.  I created my card base from some Kraft Colored cardstock.  I cut the 8.5" x 11" cardstock down to 8.5" x 7" and scored at 3.."  This creates a slim line card base that measures 8.5" x 3."

I chose my sentiment from the stamp set and used my die cuts for placement and then stamped it in Embossing Ink.  I also covered it with Gilded Embossing Powder and heat set it.  Then I used liquid glue to attach one of my Embossed Die cuts opposite of my sentiment.  Then I placed two of the Embossed Die cuts to the left side of my card base.  For my last two pieces, I attached them at an angle on the right side of my cardbase in each corner.  Finally, I used my paper trimmer to cut off an overhanging piece of die cuts.

Brutus Monroe Spooky Kids (6 cards)

Today I have 6 cards to share with you from the Spooky Kids Stamps and Coordinating Die set from Brutus Monroe.  Each card also features a different stencil and glaze also from Brutus Monroe. 

VAMPIRE

I started with Raven Cover Cardstock cut down to 4.25" x 5.5". I used some low tack tape to attach the Batty Stencil to my cardstock.  Using a silicone spatula, I spread some of the Night Sky Velveteen Glaze in the upper corner of the stencil and covered just part of it.  I only wanted a small pattern of the bats for this card.  I set the panel aside to dry.  Once it was dry I used the second largest Rectangle Foundation die to cut it out.  I used another Rectangle die from my stash to cut out a mat layer from Scarlet Cover Cardstock.  I used my embossing bag to treat the Scarlet cardstock and stamped the sentiment from Spooky Sentiments with Brutus Monroe Embossing Ink, in the center.  I covered the sticky ink with Raven Embossing Powder and heat set it.  I used a banner die from my stash to cut out the sentiment.   (Using the middle of the mat paper for my sentiment saves on paper and once I mat the Black card panel on the top, no one will ever know that I cut out a piece from the Scarlet mat.)  I stamped the Vampire from the Spooky Kids stamp set with Raven Detail ink on some Perfect Blend Alcohol Paper.  Then I colored him in with a variety of Copic markers and cut him out with the Coordinating Die.  I used liquid glue to put my card panel together with the Image, sentiment and mat.  My cardbase is made from Raven Cardstock and is standard A2 size.  For the inside of the card, I placed another piece of Scarlet cardstock, and stamped a Happy Halloween sentiment with Raven detail ink.

GHOST

I started with Raven Cover Cardstock cut down to 4.25" x 5.5". I used some low tack tape to attach the Hoiden Stencil to my cardstock. I carefully covered just the stencil with Glow in the Dark Chromas Glaze, making sure not to go outside the edges of the stencil (this is a circular stencil). I set this panel aside to dry.  Once it was dry I cut it with the second largest Rectangle Fondation Die and my mat was cut with a large Rectangle die from my stash and a green piece of paper from my scrap bin.  I used my powder tool on the green mat and stamped the sentiment from Spooky kids with Brutus Monroe Embossing ink.  After covering with Raven Embossing Powder, I heat set it and cut it out with a rectangle die.  I stamped the Ghost from Spooky Kids with Raven Detail ink on Perfect Blend Alcohol Paper and colored him in with Copic markers. After I used the coordinating die to cut him out, I used liquid glue to attach my sentiment and image to the front of my panel.  Then I attached the panel to the green amat.  To finish my card,  I chose a white A2 Card base and used liquid glue to attach my matted panel.

ZOMBIE

 I started with Raven Cover Cardstock cut down to 4.25" x 5.5". I used some low tack tape to attach the Slim Line Ripple Stencil to my cardstock at an angle. I covered the edges of my stencil with low tack tape to protect the card panel. Using a Silicone spatula, I spread some Lima Bean Velveteen Glaze across the entire stencil.  (My mind saw this stencil as a brain pattern, which I thought would fit nicely with the zombie.) While the panel was drying, I stamped my image with Raven Detail ink on some Perfect Blend Alcohol Paper,colored it in with Copics, and cut it out with its coordinating die.  Next, I cut down a green piece of paper with a rectangle die from my stash.  I treated the paper with my embossing bag and after stamping my sentiment from Spooky Sentiments with Brutus Monroe Embossing Ink, I covered it with Raven Embossing powder, heat set it and cut it out with a die from my stash.  Once my panel was dry, I used the second largest of the Rectangle Foundation dies to cut it out and mat it on my Green piece.  I used liquid glue to attach my zombie and sentiment to the front of my stenciled panel.  I attached the entire thing to a Raven A2 card base.  Inside I included another piece of green paper with a Happy Halloween Sentiment stamped on it.

WITCH

Taking a piece of white cardstock I attached the Random Dots Stencil with low tack tape.  I took some Marmalade and Amethyst Glitter Glaze and spread each color on a different side.  Then I carefully combined the colors in the middle.  I set the panel aside to dry and worked on my image.  The Spooky Kids witch was stamped on Perfect Blend Alcohol paper with Raven Detail ink and colored in with Copic markers.  I used the Coordinating die to cut her out.  Next, I looked through my scrap bin and found a light purple piece of patterned paper and cut it out with a rectangle die from my stash.  I cut a circle out of the center of the purple panel.  After treating the circle with my embossing bag, I stamped the sentiment from the set with Embossing Ink and covered it with Alabaster Embossing powder.  After heat setting it, I attached it to the front of my card panel along with my colored witch with liquid glue.  Then I glued the panel to my purple mat and then glued the whole thing to the front of my landscaped A2 white card base.

FRANKIE

I started with Raven Cover Cardstock cut down to 4.25" x 5.5". I used some low tack tape to attach the Slim Line Pathway Stencil to my cardstock. I covered the right edge of my card panel with low tack tape to protect it from my glaze.  I used a silicone spatula to spread the Purple Galaxy Glaze over the stencil.  Once I removed the stencil, I sprinkled some Fallen Snow Glitter over parts of the wet glaze for some sparkle and set the panel aside to dry. Next, I stamped the zombie image on some Perfect Blend Alcohol Paper with Raven Detail ink, I colored it in with Copic markers and cut it out with the coordinating die.  Using a scrap piece of purple paper cut down with a Rectangle die from my stash, I stamped my sentiment from the set with Embossing ink.  I sprinkled it with Alabaster Embossing Powder and heat set it.  Then I used a rectangle die to cut it out of the center of my mat.  Once.my Galaxy glaze panel was dry, I used the second largest Rectangle Foundation die to trim it down and attach it to my purple mat.  I used liquid glue to attach my sentiment and Frankie to the front of my panel.  Then I attached the entire thing to a white A2 card base.

PUMPKIN

I started with a piece of white cardstock cut down to 4.25" x 5.5". I used some low tack tape to attach the Kramer Stencil to my cardstock.  I used a silicone spatula to spread some Lima Bean Velveteen Glaze over the entire panel and then set it aside to dry.  One it was dry, I cut it out with the second largest Rectangle Foundation die.  I matted the panel on a piece of orange with white polkadot paper from my scrap bin.  This patterned paper was cut down to a mat side with another rectangle die from my stash.  Before I attached the panel to the patterned paper, I cut out a rectangle from the center with a die from my stash.  I treated this rectangle with my antistatic bag and stamped my sentiment with Brutus Monroe Embossing Ink.  I covered the ink with Raven Embossing Powder and heat set it.  I attached the Pumpkin girl and sentiment to the front of my matted Velveteen panel with liquid glue.  Then I attached the entire thing to my white A2 card base.
