Hope Your Easter Is Egg-stra Special with Brutus Monroe

 Hello Crafty Friends - I am  here with a fun Easter themed card featuring the Inspiration Box stamp set called Sophisticated Spring. 

Supplies Used:
 Cardstock: Pink and Brown

This card came together rather quickly. 

I started by spraying panels of 
Brutus Monroe: Chroma Mist: Yellow Orange I set the panels aside to dry.


Now, that the panels sprayed with the Chroma Mist are dray I stamp the Eggs images from the Brutus Monroe: Sophisticated Spring 6x8 Stamp Set with Brutus Monroe: Raven Detail Ink. I then fussy cut them out. Once the brown panel was dry I used a two dies from my stash to cut a rectangle and two sentiment strips for the handles of the basket. I the layered the Eggs into the basket and adhered them into place.  

Next, I trimmed a panel from one of the papers of Brutus Monroe: Sophisticated Spring 6x6 Paper Collection along with a panel of pink cardstock. I adhered them to my card base. Then, I adhered the basket full of eggs onto the card front. I stamped the sentiment onto some yellow cardstock and adhered it to the basket with some foam adhesive. Now, for finishing touches I used the Brutus Monroe: Acrylic Bubbles: BlushBrutus Monroe: Acrylic Bubbles: Limeade,

You're My Cup Of Tea Mini Slimline Card with Brutus Monroe

 Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a mini slimline card featuring 
the Mixed Media Stencil Best China and the Tea Party stamp set.

Supplies Used:
Copic Markers

First, I die cut the card front panel 2-3/4" x 5-3/4". Then I masked the upper portion of the panel. Next, I placed the panel onto my Stick & Stamp Mat and place the Mixed Media Stencil Best China on top of the panel. I then spread some Peach Bellini Velveteen Glaze over the stencil. I removed the stencil and the panel for the Stick & Stamp Mat.  Next, I removed the mask, washed the stencil and set the panel to dry.

While, The panel was drying I stamped the teapot and teacup images from 
the Tea Party stamp set using Raven Detail Ink. I colored the images with some Copic markers. I also stamped the sentiment. Once, the panel was dry I adhered it to the mat and the card base. Next, I adhered the teapot and teacups using some foam adhesive and matted the sentiment and adhered it with foam adhesive to the top left corner. As a finishing touch I added a few pearls and gems.

Sweet Donut Card with Brutus Monroe

Hello Crafty Friends - Annie here with a fun donut themed card to let someone special how Sweet they are!




I started by gathering up all the supplies for my card. 

1. I ink up the first layer of the donut with Distress Oxide Ink: Vintage Photo
Brutus Monroe: Chroma Glaze - Copper through the stencil next layer I chose the swirl design of the stencil.

2. Then, I set the donuts as side to let Chroma Glaze dry- about 3 minutes. Once dry I trimmed the donuts from the cream cardstock. Even the centers of the donuts.

3. Next, I stamped the sentiment onto the pink cardstock layer. I used the
 Brutus Monroe: Sprinkled With Love 6x8 Stamp Set the eclair icing and sweet sentiment with Brutus Monroe: Detail Ink Raven. I then adhered all the layers onto the cardbase which is made from Brutus Monroe: Not Your Mama's Cardstock. Next, I adhered the donuts the purple and coral donuts directly onto the card front and the Copper- aka - chocolate donut I popped up using foam dots in the center just overlapping the other donuts.

I finished the card with a bit of white gel pen as a highlight to the sentiment. A few of silver and pink sequins.
