You are the Unicorn of Friends {Brutus Monroe}

 Hello crafty friends! I am back to share a couple more cards using the Brutus Monroe Unique Unicorn Inspiration Box! I love the pre printed toner sheets in the kit. You can leave them black and white and go simple, you can foil them, or you can get as fancy as you want! Today, I went all out on two of them and love the results! 

 For my first card, I ink blended Tumbled Glass distress oxide over the cloud stencil from the clouds and grass stencil set that I had purchased separately. Then, I foiled it with Gina K marigold foil. I used my Sizzix Rainbow Magic die and paper scraps I had in my stash to make the clouds and rainbow. Next, I stamped and die cut the Unicorn from the Unique Unicorn stamp set in the kit. Then, I colored it with Copic markers. I trimmed a sentiment from the conversation clippings in the kit. Next, I assembled the card. I adhered the toner panel to a piece of the beautiful glitter paper in the kit. Then, I glued the rainbow and unicorn to the panel. To finish, I added foam tape to one of the clouds and the sentiment and attached them to the card. 

My second card features some ink smooshing. I started out smooshing, Picked Raspberry distress ink and heat set it so the colors wouldn't turn to mud. I repeated the process with: Peacock Feathers, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Carved Pumpkin and Wilted Violet distress ink. It is very important to heat set between each color. 

After I finished smooshing the ink and everything was completely dry, I foiled the panel with Gina K Marigold foil. Next, I stamped and die cut three stars and the pegasus using the Unique Unicorn stamp and matching die set in the kit. Then, I colored them in with Copic markers. I cut the sentiment from the conversation clippings in the kit and started to assemble the card. 

I adhered the toner panel to a piece of the glitter cardstock from the kit. Then, I added two stars and the sentiment. To finish the card, I added foam tape to the back of the pegasus and one star to pop them up for dimension. 

I love how fun and colorful this is! Thank you so much for stoping by and get the Unique Unicorn Inspiration box before they are all gone!!!

Welcome to the Christmas in July release- The Rabbit Hole Designs!!!!!

I have a super cute Christmas release from The Rabbit Hole Designs to share with you today!!! I made this card using the new Christmoose-Moosemas stamp set, illustrated by Tatsiana Zayats, and an old favorite of mine Back Alley Stencil.

I just adore this stamp set and enjoyed making my first Christmas card for the year! First, I stamped the image of the moose from the Christmoose-Moosemas set twice and cut them out. (There is a coordinating Christmoose-Moosemas die). I removed the antlers from one so I could have the couple on the card together. Then I colored them with Copic markers. Next, I blended Fired Brick Distress Oxide through the Back Alley stencil on a panel of white cardstock that I had die cut. I layered the white cardstock on a green card base, and added foam tape to pop up the moose images. Then, I stamped the sentiment on a strip of white cardstock. Using a ruler, I added some straight black lines to the top and bottom of the sentiment and I lightly blended some ink trough the Back Alley stencil over the sentiment. I cut a red strip of cardstock and snipped flags on each side for the sentiment to sit on. Lastly, I added foam tape to pop up the sentiment. What a great time to get started on your Christmas cards if you haven't already!

Take Time to Unwind!

 Hello friends!! I am so excited to be writing my first blog post for Brutus Monroe!!! I have two cards to share using the products from the Splash Splash Subscription Box along with a couple of other products you can find at Brutus Monroe.

I am so in love with this adorable duck!! This box has so much wonderful goodness in it and these cards only feature a few of the products! 

To make this shaker card, I started with the yellow cardstock provided in the Splash Splash box and die cut it using the Diagonal Stitched rectangle die. I blended Kitsch Flamingo distress oxide ink through parts of the brick stencil that was included in the box. I made some areas a little darker than others. Next, to make the frame, I cut the center out with a smaller rectangle die. To make sure I had the inside rectangle centered, I lined the yellow frame up on the card base and glued down the center rectangle while everything was lined up. Then I removed the yellow frame, glued a piece of acetate to the back of it and set it aside to dry. 

To make the scene, I stamped the duck, bathtub, and bubbles from the Splash Splash stamp set using Raven ink. I colored in the images with Copic Markers (colors listed below) and fussy cut them out. There are coordinating Splash Splash dies, but this time I decided I didn't want the white border. Next, I smooshed the bubbles in embossing ink and embossed it with the embossing powder that was included in the Splash Splash Box. I love how the bubbles look with the blue sparkle!  

I arranged the images on the center rectangle and glued them down. Then I lined up my "splash splash" sentiment and stamped it on the panel, using my Misti and Raven ink. I glued some of the Splash Splash sequins, that was included in the box, to the panel. Once everything was dry, I added foam tape around the border of the panel to make the shaker.

I added beads from the Adventures at Sea embellishment set and adhered the frame with the acetate to the top of the foam. To finish this card, I added one of the sentiments from the sentiment strips in the Splash Splash box. 

My next card is so sweet for a baby card. It is also a pretty quick card to make. 

To begin, I die cut a piece of yellow cardstock that was provided in the Splash Splash Box and adhered it to a white card base. Then, I stamped the duck and a bow with Raven ink on white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers (colors listed below). I cut them out and put them to the side. 

To make the fun pink and yellow back ground, I sprayed some Kitsch Flamingo oxide spray on a piece of Watercolor paper. When I dry my ink sprays, I dry the cardstock from the front and the back. 

It is very important to dry it with a heat gun before adding the next color so they do not mix. In this case, if they mixed, it would make an orange color but if you used two complimentary such as red and green, they would turn brown if you did not dry each color before applying the next. Once I dried the Kitsch Flamingo oxide spray, I sprayed Wild Honey distress stain and dried it with a heat gun.

To finish the background, I blended the Kitsch Flamingo Oxide ink through the brick stencil that is included in the subscription box. Next, I cut this panel down to 3 3/4" x 5", added foam tape and adhered it to the card base that I had prepared earlier. I cut the "welcome baby" sentiment from the sentiment strips included in the box and added foam tape to the back. Then, I glued the bow to the duck and added foam tape to the back of the duck image. I added the sentiment and duck to the card and glued a few of the Splash Splash sequins to the card for some bling.

Duck: Y00, Y11, Y21 Cheek: R20

Duck Bill: YR00, YR15, YR18

Tub: W00, W0
