GID Day 3 - Having Fun

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. Today is Day 3 of y Growing in Unity week. Today's card is not my usual style. I have used the Having Fun stamp set.

I stamped the image with Brutus Monroe - Maple ink and die cut it with Hexagon die. I dry embossed a piece of kraft card stock with Altenew - Geo Triangles embossing folder. I did not spritz the paper with water so I got a lighter embossing on the card stock. I added a few brown sequins to the piece. This card is completely out of my comfort zone :D.

GIU Day 1 - Hello Sunflowers

 Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. Hope you all had a great weekend. This week, I am so excited to take part in Growing In Unity. I've done this a few times, few years back, so you might have seen this already. This week, I will be showcasing different Unity stamps in my cards.

Here's y Day 1 card using Hello Gorgeous stamp set.

I started by stamping the image with Ink on 3 Fadeout ink for no-line coloring and colored it with Copics. I took a piece of brown card stock and embossed it with Craftwell - Woodgrain Cottage embossing folder and smooshed some dark brown ink on it. I stamped the sentiment on a piece of white card stock, cut it out and mated with brown card stock. I adhered all the layers to a top folding A2 card base and added some enamel dots from Altenew.

Embossed Decorative Florals

 Hello everyone!! I'm back with another floral card, this time using a 3D embossing folder for the main image.

I used the Altenew Decorative Florals 3D Embossing folder to emboss a piece of white card stock - I sprayed water on the card stock before embossing. Then I colored the embossed image with copics - I used greens for the leaves and yellows and cool greys for the flowers. The greys add some depth to the white flowers. For the sentiment, I stamped the sentiment from Inspired By Stamping - Summer Bouquet stamp set with Brutus Monroe white ink on black card stock. I added a think strip of black to the top and bottom of the card. I used the color scheme from the current Altenew Challenge.

Merry Christmas

Hello everyone!! Happy Thanksgiving !! I'm on the Brutus Monroe blog today, with this simple Christmas card:

I took a piece of water color card stock and painted it with Blue Green Aqua Pigment. I love this color!! Once dry, I dry embossed it with Aztec Stars embossing folder. I cut it to 4" x 5 1/2" and adhered it on to a A2 card base. I took a scrap piece of white card stock and stamped the sentiment from the Yuletide Greetings in Oz ink. I adhered the sentiment and few sequins from my stash.

Snowflake Ornament

Hello everyone!! I'm on the Craftwell blog today, with this Christmas card with shaker ornament. 

I die cut the Rinea Gold foil with the Hero Arts Snowflakes and Ornament Fancy die. I embossed a piece of Brutus Monroe - Brown Butter cardstock with Woodgrain Cottage and die cut the ornament window on my Cut 'N Boss. I created the shaker window by using foam tape and acetate. I used Doodles Paper Playground - Ruby Sparkle blend for the shaker mix. I adhered the gold foil ornament on the acetate window. I also die cut the letters 'joy' using the die from Whimsy stamps, on gold foil and adhered it in the center.

Just For You

Hello everyone!! I'm on the Craftwell blog today, with this simple but beautiful card:

I embossed a piece of white card stock with the Bella Rose embossing folder on my Cut N  Boss. Then I inked it with Brutus Monroe Stargazer ink. I love coral color and I see that I'm using it often now. I then die cut the sentiment label using a die from Spellbinders and stamped the sentiment, that coordinates with the die. 

This is a simple card, that is easier for making in sets. Please do let me know your thoughts. Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day!

Happy Birthday Cake

Hello everyone!! It's blog hop day at Brutus Monroe!! Today we are using our Subscription products of this Month. Here's my card using the stamp and Embossing Powder of this month:

I stamped the cake, which is the current stamp of the month with sidewalk ink and colored the cake part with markers. For the frosting part, I had made up in my mind, to use an embossing pen and heat emboss it with Sour Apple embossing powder. But my embossing pen had dried up!! Do you have had certain moments when you MUST make that idea in your mind to work? This was one of those for me lol! I looked around and grabbed my glue pen. The hardest part was waiting for the glue to become tacky. Then I added the sour Apple embossing powder and heated it. While it was still hot, I added the embossing powder once again and heated it. Embossing twice gives it a smooth finish, since this is a fairly large and solid surface. Then I fussy cut it out.

Then I embossed a piece of white card stock with Aztec stars embossing folder, which is one of my all time favorites! I die cut a piece of grey card stock, which is from one of the older subscription boxes, with Happy Birthday die. I adhered a piece of grey card stock of size 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" on a card base. Then I adhered the embossed panel (size 4" x 5 1/2") on to it. I adhered the sentiment die cut with Brutus Monroe glue. I adhered the cake with foam tape. I added a few sequins from the Doodles Paper Playground sequin mix called Good Luck Charm. The color worked well with Sour Apple.

Die Cutting

Hello everyone! Today on Brutus Monroe blog, we are using dies with Brutus Monroe products!! Here's what I made for today.

I started by die cutting the flowers and leaves and inked them. I used Phonebook ink and Jack O Lantern for the flowers and Cabbage ink for the leaves. I sprayed them with water and shaped them with my embossing tools. While the flowers and leaves are drying, I embossed a piece of white card stock of size 4" x 5 1/4" with Petal Lace embossing [

'folder. I inked the edges of an A2 card base with Phonebook ink and adhered the embossed panel on to it. I stamped the sentiment on to a piece of card stock and die cut it with Spellbinders Renaissance Tags die. I adhered the sentiment tag with foam tape and added the flowers and leaves with glue. I added pearls for flower centers.
