SMILE/BRUTUS MONROE
TRIO OF CARDS/STUDIO FORTY
Good morning! Nicole here with three cards I created using a variety of card sketches. I always struggle making cards, especially A2 size cards.
These sketches really helped me create these cards within minutes and it was fun! Sketches are a great jump start to get your ideas going! Also, keep in mind, you can flip them or use some of the sketch to inspire you!
I think the hardest part of creating these cards was deciding on what patterns to use for the card. I used two patterned papers for each card from the Here and There Collection. I used two metal die frames to cut the papers. To create the card base, cut white cardstock to measure 4.25"x11" and score the paper in half to create the card. The first layer is 4"x5.25" and the second layer is 3.75"x5".
Once the card bases were cut, I paired two cards together that I thought worked well together. Next, I used a variety of Die Cuts to embellish the card. LOVE DIE CUTS. :)
I super pleased with all three of my cards. Which one is your favorite? I think my favorite is the Summer Journey card. Thank you so much for visiting today!

HELLO SUMMER MIXED MEDIA TAG/BRUTUS MONROE
Good morning friends. Nicole here with a mixed media tag I created for summer. I'm not gonna lie...when I saw the giraffe stamp, I was so excited. I love giraffes!
First, I placed the Jumbo Tag inside the Misti and taped down the edges to prevent the tag from moving. I don't know why I didn't just use my sticky mat! Duh, sometimes I make things harder than they need to be.
After that, I tapped the back of the tag to remove the excess embossing powder and then I applied heat to the tag until the powder had a nice glossy appearance.
I used Karin watercolor markers to color in the images. I love these markers because they are so vibrant! I used a heart stencil to create the hearts in the background using a blending brush and added a few die cuts for fun.
And here it is. Super cute! I just love it.

BEACH VIBES/BRUTUS MONROE
Good morning friends! I'm so excited to share these summer layouts with you. I love scrapbooking summer memories. It's my favorite...and jus wait until you see how I used the Fun in the Sun Cutting Die and the Beach Bum stamps. Super cute products!
First, I cut the metal die elements from white cardstock. Then, I colored the sun and grab using alcohol markers.
Then, I stamped my images down and colored them in using markers. glued the sun die onto the layout. Next, I glued down the sun.
I added a coat of the Scarlet Glitter Glaze to the crabbie. After that, I added some Fallen Snow Glitter Glaze to the umbrella.
Here is how it looks up close. SO PRETTY!
I used some dark blue sequins for the eyeballs since I didn't have any black...but you can hardly tell they are blue.
Seriously, isn't this the cutest spread? I just love it so much. That crabbie totally makes this spread pop! Wouldn't you agree?
