Brutus Monroe DT – Page 4 – Love To Scrap 2

you’re amazing!

Hi friends, a big ol’ Happy Saturday to you! I hope it’s warming up where you are and you’re getting to do something fun this weekend. I’m delighted to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project today featuring papers from the amazing Fluttering Forest and Vintage Plaid 6×6 Paper Packs along with a sentiment from the Super Sentimental Stamp Set. This tiered pinwheel twist card is one of my favorite fun folds and I’ve made several over the past couple years. My inspiration originally came from Sam Calcott over at Mixed Up Craft. You know what a fun fold fanatic I am, and the pretty patterned papers and butterflies were added bonuses!

I cut the card base and the tiered panels from Raven cardstock along with layering panels from patterns in the Fluttering Forest and Vintage Plaid 6×6 Paper Packs. I love mixing patterns.

I fussy cut four butterflies from the Fluttering Forest paper pack, bent them in the middle, and adhered one to each side of the card.

I stamped a sentiment from the Super Sentimental stamp set in Raven ink on a panel of Perfect Blend cardstock, and this completed the card.

All In Favor

Hey everybody! Happy Friday – I hope you have something fun planned this weekend. I’m delighted to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project today featuring the awesome Clowder of Cats stamps, stencil and chipboard along with the Spring Splatter 6×6 Paper Pack, all from our February release! You know we rescue cats and these products are right up my alley! I created a fun birthday card featuring the tear and roll technique. It’s not a fun fold like I typically share, but this super fun (and easy) technique packs a punch nonetheless!

I cut an A2 panel from a pattern in the Spring Splatter 6×6 Paper Pack and tore a strip across the center. I rolled it around a skinny skewer and glued it in place as I rolled it. I laid the panel down on the card base to get the placement for my sentiment from the Clowder of Cats Stamp Set. I stamped it in Raven ink and then adhered the panel to a Pre-Scored Card Base.

I placed the Clowder of Cats Chipboard onto the Stamp & Stick Mat with the Clowder of Cats stencil that I attached to my Make Art Stay-tion with magnets. I grabbed three small blending brushes and inked the chipboard with vintage photo, walnut stain and weathered wood distress inks. I adhered this adorable row of kitties to the card front and added several Blue Shift Flat Back Crystals, which completed the card front.

I trimmed one-half of another Pre-Scored Card Base for the inside panel which I embellished with a leftover strip of the Spring Splatter paper used on the front. I stamped the paws image in Raven ink and layered the panel on light brown cardstock.

Happy Birthday

Hi friends, Happy Tuesday! I hope you’re having a great week. I’m delighted to share a Brutus Monroe inspiration project with you today as a new DT member! I’ve been a Brutus Monroe fan for a few years and you can only imagine how ecstatic I was to receive that email telling me I had been selected for the 2025 Inspiration Team! I used two of my all-time favorites, the Botanical Background Stamp and Super Sentimental Stamp Set, to create this pretty birthday card. I included a gorgeous Lace Layers die cut under the focal panel to really show it off. I kept with a simple red/coral color palette and really love how this turned out!

I stamped the Botanical Background focal image in Raven ink on a Perfect Blend 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel and colored it with Copic Ciao markers. I trimmed it and layered it on a panel of CutCardStock Wild Salmon cardstock. I adhered a Lace Layers die cut (which I cut from Raven cardstock) beneath the panel and adhered it to the card base. I stamped a simple birthday greeting from the Super Sentimental Stamp Set, trimmed it, and adhered it to the bottom portion of the card front, slightly to the right of center. The finishing touch was adding several Hematite Flat Back Crystals.

I cut the inside panels from Perfect Blend cardstock and the Wild Salmon cardstock. I stamped another sentiment from the Super Sentimental Stamp Set and layered the panel on a slightly smaller die cut Lace Layer.
