Joyful Nighttime Snowman

I went for a nighttime snowman...with a hint of a snowdrift.


Right after stamping with Brutus Monroe's White Pigment ink, I smeared my finger along the right edge.

Peaceful Paper Cranes

I have an opportunity to guest design for Brutus Monroe today.

 I want to share a stamp set I've loved ever since I saw it!

It's called Paper Cranes and I paired it with the Uppercase Alphabet Outline for a Christmas card.

The largest image was heat embossed on Brutus Monroe's Heat Resistant Vellum with Mic Drop...it's the coolest embossing powder I've ever seen! Check out the shimmery flakes~

 I added embossing ink to the edges and sprinkled some on there too, because this vellum can take it!

I used the fold and score tool to bend the edges over the Jaw Breaker patterned paper.

The chunky snowflake dies are cut from Brutus Monroe's Slate cardstock.

You can find this Triangle Acrylic tray at the store and fill it with your own doodads!

DT INkspirational Celebration Card

There's a new challenge at INkspirational!


This time the theme is celebrations~mine is for a wedding.

Colorado Craft Company Lovely Legs Happy Forevering, Stamplorations Just Flow stencil, Vicki Boutin Gold Glaze, Avery Elle Double Pierced Rectangles, Papertrey Ink Brushed Off Rectangle



 Here's a photo for inspiration ~

I used the most celebratory color I could come up with: gold glaze...and I spread it through a stencil for the background and smeared some on cardstock which I tore for the sentiment.

Please visit the site to see what my talented teammates have come up with, and join us with your unique creation!

Thankful Glow Snowflake

I die cut a dark purple snowflake and added Neon Aqua Pigments to the ends~

Shoot for the Moon

With the right scraps sitting around, a card is born. ;)

 Brutus Monroe Outer Space sentiment, Jawbreak/Neon Pink/Slate paper, Foundation Square dies, snowflake die, Folk Art Neon Pink Glitterific

 I stocked up on this Glitterific stuff last Christmas season, and so I need to use it up!

I liked the look of the pink glitterific on Slate paper, so I cut up strips and painted them up...I even added some along the Jawbreaker edge~

 I weighed the edges down until it dried and this Brutus Monroe cardstock and patterned paper hold their shape pretty well.
