My Brutus Monroe Favorite....

You can find the hop HERE.   This week we are showing our favorite Brutus Monroe Products... Mine are Background stamps, of course embossing powders, and the beautiful new cardstocks.  Let me share with you what I created with this three favorites of mine.

CARD DETAILS:

To create this beautiful cards I used one of my favorite Brutus Monroe background stamp called Floral Frenzy.  I stamped this background stamp on the front panel of three A2 size cards I created with Marsala, Midnight and Sea Cardstock with Brutus Monroe Embossing Ink and Gilded Embossing Powder.

This panels look beautiful just like that, I thought that I am going to make more of this in different colors of cardstock to have on hand and create quick and easy cards when needed.

I added the Thanks die cut word and did two coats of gilded embossing powder to it, I wanted a tone on tone look so with a 1 inch strip of cardstock I added the different sentiments also with gilded embossing powder.  

I adhere the Thanks word die on different angles on the cards to have a little variation. 

Which color is your favorite? I just can't decide in my opinion the Gilded Embossing Powder looks amazing on both dark or light cardstock... what do you say???

Embossed Foiled Card Accents/Brutus Monroe and ThermOweb Week!!

Hello Friends, Thank you for stopping by my blog for another Wednesday Quick Tip using Brutus Monroe stamps and products, this week is special because this week Brutus Monroe is collaborating with ThermOweb, and both Design Teams have created amazing projects featuring lots of techniques and products....  You can find the blog hop at the Brutus Monroe Blog.   My projects today will have lots of shine and foil... I went a little overboard and have many cards to share with you!  Today is all about sets of cards... because we always need a THANK YOU card on hand!!!

CARD DETAILS: 

Have you ever wonder if you can foil embossed cards? well the answer is YES!!! For my cards today I did a little experiment and love the end result.... 

I started embossing several white card bases with some of my favorite Brutus Monroe Embossing Folders, I then ink blend the embossed white card bases with Oz Surface ink.

With a sponge I put a thin amount of transfer gel onto the panels and let them dry.  I really try to get into the embossed areas to have a smooth foiled background.  After they were dry I run them into my Minc Machine.

After I created the foiled embossed panels I cut them and adhere them to a white panel and then to a black card base, I love the look of them, on some designs you can see the Oz surface ink color, like on the wild cherry foil and with other foil colors the ink blends perfect with them.  I used Jade Foil and Gold Shattered Glass.

I added the thank you sentiment in black to match the card base.

Aren´t this just beautiful!!! I love the simple, yet elegant look of the emboss and foil......

For my next project I used Clear Designer Toner sheets, this are beautiful to create all kinds of cards....I don't know you, but I love all my foiling sheets that I don't want to waste any of it so for my next set of cards I used both the foiled clear toner sheet and the remaining.

To adhere the Foiled clear toner sheets and remaining foil to the card base I used a little of the Brutus Monroe craft glue in the top and bottom, and to cover the glue, I cut a small strip of cardstock and glue it on top of the foiled pieces.

I did the same thing with the rest of the cards and for the thank you sentiments I used ThermOweb toner sheets to create the different color thank you dies.

I had so much fun creating this two sets of cards, that are now ready in my stash to give to someone special!

PROJECT DETAILS:

To create this project I took out my Silhouette Cameo, I haven't used it in a while.  This cute stamp remind me of a Birthday I went some time ago... I was great! the theme was the circus and everything was decorated.  There were lots of different candies on a table and the kids were going crazy with them!  I love everything but, had some questions about the food and candies and I thought it would be great to have some placement cards with the names of the food so the guests can know what to eat... Well after my long explanation, lets go to my project... I first color the cute clown and cut it out.  I cut the place card file with my silhouette and added a red rectangle to add color to my project! I adhere the clown with 3D foam and added Nuvo drops it.

There are many ways to use this little sets for different projects.  Take out your cutting machine and use your Monthly stamp sets....

I hope you have a great week! and can be inspired with all the projects the DT share today!

Mix Media Tag

Hello Friends, thank you for coming by my blog today for another Wednesday Quick Tip using Brutus Monroe stamps and products, every Wednesday you can find a blog hop at the Brutus Monroe blog featuring a product or technique of the week!, all the Design Team works very hard to share great inspiration for you!! You can find the hop HERE.   This week we are focusing on the beautiful techniques of Mix Media.  I had to admit I was a little intimidated by it, but after 10,000 Mix Media videos I came up with this tag that I loved!!! I think even though is completely out of my comfort zone of creating, I had so much fun making it, and I am already planning to explore more on this Mix Media techniques.

TAG DETAILS:

I started with a Jumbo Media Tag and one of my favorite Brutus Monroe Stencils called Pugsley, I inked the entire tag with Rock Candy Surface Ink this created a very soft color, after that I embossed the right corner of the tag with the embossing folder Petal Lace and added Sea Surface Ink mixed with a little water.

I added brown ink to the edges for a more rusty look and I also added Metallic Sterling Embossing Powder to the raised areas on the embossed parts of the flower.

I cut from an old book a piece to add interest to the tag and adhere it to the right corner.  I stamped a long phrase with Raven Embossing Powder.  I stamped the bunny from Be Unique stamp set and adhere it with the words NORMAL IS BORING from the same set, I also added a silver heart and some black and white splashes to finish the look.
The quick tip today is: Try something new, you can have a surprise! 

Have a nice day!
