Hello crafty friends! Welcome to another blog hop Wednesday for the Brutus Monroe Inspiration team. This week the theme is Fall/Autumn, and I chose to use the wreath and sentiment from the "Autumn Essentials" stamp set in all warm neutral brown tones. I started by blending some "Suede" surface ink around the edge of Lunch Bag cardstock. I heat embossed the wreath from the stamp set using the "Coffee Grounds" embossing powder, which is a rich dark brown. I then heat embossed the sentiment onto a scrap of Lunch Bag cardstock, and used a circle die to cut it out. I inked the edges of the circle with "Suede" surface ink as well, and popped it up in the middle with foam tape. I glued the whole panel onto a piece of the wood circle cardstock from the "Winter Cabin" pack to finish it off. Now that Halloween is over, it's time for all the fall things! Have you made any autumn cards or decor yet? Hop on over to Jessica's blog n...

Hello crafty friends! Thanks for stopping by my blog today. It's another blog hop Wednesday for the Brutus Monroe Inspiration Team, and the theme is "Anything Goes"! Once a month our hop has no theme or specific product that we're showing. Today I'm sharing this sparkly gold fall card! I started by using the Glitter Glaze of the month from September, called "Leaf Pile". It's hard to accurately capture the color on camera! It's a GORGEOUS golden color with tiny flecks of red and green. I used it with the Stencil of the Month from September onto a panel of Alabaster cardstock and set it aside to dry. I heat embossing the wreath from the "Fall Y'all" stamp set onto aqua pigment paper with Gilded EP. I used a water brush and color burst powders to color the images in fall tones. After it was dry, I heat embossed the sentiment into the middle, also with Gilded EP. I trimmed down the colored panel to a square, and adhered it to...

Hey crafty friends! I'm here today sharing a card with the hilarious stamp from the Stamp of the Month Club from Brutus Monroe. This protesting turkey cracks me up! The  stamp of the month club  is really cool;  you will receive a 2x3 stamp set for only $5 which includes your shipping and handling! The stamp set is designed each month by Christopher and will be shipped out to you by the 15th of the month (excluding holidays, in the event of a holiday falling on shipment day the stamp will ship on the next business day) This card background is made with one of the free stencil SVG files on the Brutus Monroe website. To make the stencil, I laminated a piece of plain white printer paper and then used my Cricut to cut the leaf stencil out. It worked perfectly! I used glitter glaze in the colors "Gilded", "Pumpkin" and "Tangerine" on the stencil to make the background. The Berry Twig Leaf die  was cut from several shades of brown cardstock, and layer...
