Dana upcycled her Inspiration Team shipping box into a friendship mini album. The colorful Brutus Monroe packing tape, as well as the products that were inside the box, were her inspiration. Dana colored the cardboard covers with white gesso and stripes of Chroma and Velveteen Glaze, and then Chroma Mist splatters. To create the focal point of the album cover, Dana stamped and embossed designs from the Salt and Pepper Stamp Set of the Month onto a piece of Heat Resistant Acetate, which she then colored with paint markers. She finished the cover with a trio of fussy cut letter x’s from the Be Mine Paper Pad. Dana created the album signature from white cardstock colored with Chroma Mist. She covered the inside of the album cover with patterned paper from the Be Mine Paper Pad. The album pages contain the announcement images of the 2024 Brutus Monroe Inspiration Team and some handwritten journaling.

Danielle created a mini slimline card with the Be Mine paper pad and cut two different size layers to create dimension. She traced and fussy cut the solid heart from the Heart Quad Mixed Media stencil and ink blended one of the stencil shapes on it. Then she stamped the salt & pepper shakers directly on it and added glitter to the areas where the salt and pepper is in the shakers. She die cut a circle shape and ink blended a contrasting teal color on it. For the sentiment she cut a banner and stamped it with Raven detail ink.

Donna created a shaker “box” by cutting an open square with the Be Mine paper pad. She added acetate to the front and the back and filled with mica flakes (both clear and some colored with Fuchsia aqua pigment). She colored her main image with Pearl Candy Coat and Unicorn Horn Glitter Glaze for the Salt and Black Pearl Chroma Glaze and Raven Glitter Glaze for the Pepper to place behind her shaker element. She created the slider with white cardstock and some paper from the Be Mine paper. Donna added the heart and sentiment from My Valentine stamp and die set to the top of the slider. This slider then slips between the shaker box and the Salt and Pepper panel before adding it to her A2 card base.

Jen created three mini cards using the 6x6 Be Mine Paper Pad and the cute Salt and Pepper Stamp set. The basic layout for each of the cards is a piece of 8 ½ x 11 cardstock cut down to 3 ¼ x 11. This cardstock is then scored at 5 ½. For the cards shown a square, circle and heart dies were used to cut out the focal point. The beautiful pattern paper from the Be Mine paper pad was used to adorn each of the mini cards. The adorable images were stamped with Raven ink onto Perfect Blend cardstock and then were colored with alcohol markers. These fun and super easy cards can be embellished and changed up in your own creative style. Created by Jen @jenleeschoolcraft

Lisa stamped 3 couples from the Salt & Pepper Set on a slim line card base. After making them off, she stamped the images of the daisies, from the Sweet Daisies stamp set, above the couples. Using alcohol markers, Lisa colored her panel by creating a rainbow, not only the flowers, but the little labels on the shakers. After, ink blending the outer edge of the panel; she used the Silver Shimmer splash on the screw tops to make them appear metal. The bottles were covered with glossy accents. By simply extending the base, Lisa was ablt to created a slim line; and added some pattern paper from the BEmine Paper pad. And of course; she had to add some jewels for added texture.

For a second project, Melissa made a fun gatefold card with a twisted ribbon element. Using strips of the Be Mine paper to create the ribbon element is a fun way to showcase these contrasting papers. Then embossing the Salt & Pepper stamp with Raven embossing powder adds a little bit of shine. Framing this adorable stamp in some layered hearts helps keep this gatefold closed.

Sarah had some fun playing with the Salt and Pepper stamp set, Be Mine paper pad and 2 Aqua pigments. She used the aqua pigments, mixed them to get a color that matched the paper pad and made a watercolor paper to go along with the patterned papers and make these cards. She added the little salt and pepper pieces to the cards from the stamp set and a sentiment and some hearts from the love is in the air and super sentimental sets.

Sarah also had so much fun she made a second card. For her second project she chose to make a type of pop-up card. Using the Be Mine Paper Pad for her background and hand cut heart, she kept the outside simple with a sentiment from Super Sentimental. Then, when you open the card a heart pops out with a cute salt and pepper shaker and a sentiment to let you know your friendship is no accident! Created by Sarah @mother0froyalty

Segura's Crafts created this stunning A2 Valentine's Day card using the Be Mine Paper Pad and the adorable Salt and Pepper Stamp set. She used watercolor cardstock and Raven ink to stamp the cutie patooty S&P image. The image is colored using Karin watercolor markers, resulting in vibrant and eye-catching accents. Next, she used some dies from her stash to cut out the backdrop for the focal point for her card. These cute stamps really steal the show! To add flair to her project, she added more of the beautiful pattern paper to create the base panel and a rectangle strip. This adds a touch of elegance and charm to the overall design. Lastly, she stenciled sections of her card using the Slimline Stencil Weave for added texture and interest. This technique takes the card to the next level, making it truly unique and special and a fun mixed media look.
