Rustic Sunflower Card

Hello all!  Happy Wednesday!  I am posting on the SumMore Fun blog today with this pretty fall themed card.  I don't know about where you live, but we have been freezing (literally!) in Nebraska. Hopefully you are able to enjoy the fall weather and temps longer than us.  The stamps I used are the Victorine Originals Large Sunflower stamp and the Raisin Boat No Loss For Words stamp set.The red rubber Large Sunflower stamp will be retired from the SumMoreFun website soon, so grab it while you can!  It is definitely a favorite stamp of many.  To recreate the card I made, you can use a toner ink pad to stamp your sunflower, then foil, stamp with regular black ink, scan it into your computer, then print it out with a laser printer and foil, or even stamp with embossable ink and heat emboss with gold powder.  The end results will all be quite similar.  My foiling didn't turn out perfect as the foil wrinkled in a couple of places, allowing the black toner to show through, but it is a rustic card, so I thought it worked well!  Next up, I watercolored the image with Distress Oxide inks in the following colors: Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey, Fossilized Amber, Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain, Peeled Paint, and Lucky Clover.  I wiped off the excess ink from the foiling with a paper towel.
I ink blended around the edges of the image with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide.  Once it was dry, I sealed the ink with Mod Podge acrylic sealer to prevent ink transfer.  I matted the image with brown cardstock then wrapped Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine around it and added a small tag with a sentiment from the No Loss For Words stamp set.  After adding a bottom layer of distressed patterned papers, The card was complete!  In the photo below you can see the shine of the foiling.
I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Wood Planks Card

Hello friends!  Once again, I am posting for the SumMore Fun blog today.  I am sharing one last card that I created using the stamps from the Handy Man Pack.  Those sets are  RB Handy Man and RB Nailed It.

While this card may seem simple, I was very excited to make it!  I started by placing the wood plank stamp from the Handy Man stamp set into the center of my stamp platform and stamping it over and over on kraft cardstock with Walnut Stain Distress Oxide ink.  I simply would move my paper to wherever I thought it would be neat to have the next plank!  Once the paper was trimmed to the planks, I distressed the joints with Scrapbook.com Leather ink using a narrow blending brush.  Once that was adhered to the card base, I stamped the sentiment from Nailed It in black.  On a scrap piece of paper, I stamped the circular saw image from Handy Man, cut it out with my Brother Scan N Cut, and colored it with Artify alcohol markers before adhering it to the card with foam tape.  The final addition to the card were several tiny dots of silver Pearl Pen to mimic nail heads in the boards. 
 I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Handy WOman Cards!

Hello!  Have you been inspired by the recent cards I have been posting for the SumMore Fun blog using the Handy Man Pack?  Today's project is very different.  It is for the handy WOMEN in your lives!  I know many women who would love and deserve to get a card like this one.  I used the Raisin Boat Nailed It stamp set to create these.
I started with watercolor paper and a 4x6" acrylic block.  I smeared Distress Inks in the following colors onto the cube in random areas: Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers, and Seedless Preserves.  I then spritzed the block with water and flipped it over onto the watercolor paper, sat a heavy object onto the block and let it sit for 5 minutes before removing the block.  I was thrilled by the way it turned out!  Once it was completely dry, I cut it in half to make 2 cards from the one background.

I used the an embossing buddy over the whole inked panel and positioned the image stamps where I wanted them.  Using a stamp platform, I stamped the images 3 times with Scrapbook.com white pigment ink to make sure I had great coverage on the watercolor paper, then heat embossed with white powder.  I kept the cards simple, only matting the panel with solid colors of cardstock, then stamping the sentiment in Scrapbook.com Candy Shop Pink ink.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

1 -Handy Man photopolymer stamp set
1 -Nailed It photopolymer stamp set

Here is what I made for today's inspiration...an oh-so-popular slimline style card using the Handy Man stamp set and 3.5” x 8.5” patterned cardstock from the Handy Man Pack.
I stamped several wood plan images in Scrapbook.com Charcoal ink onto gray cardstock and used my Brother Scan N Cut to cut them out.  I inked around the outside of them with Scrapbook.com Rainy Day ink for a little extra distressing and laid them out in a haphazard fashion on the patterned cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment, also from the Handy Man stamp set in Charcoal ink, matted it, and adhered it to the card front.  Totally Sky and Totally Blue Trendy Twines were the perfect match to embellish with and I added those around the sentiment before adhering the patterned paper to the matted card base.  Last, but not least, I placed a trio of silver foil enamel dots in the top corner.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Here is what I made for today's inspiration!  This time I used the Nailed It stamp set and patterned 6x6" cardstock from the Handy Man Pack.
First up, the tape measure card.  I stamped the image on gray cardstock with Charcoal Scrapbook.com ink and accented it with white gel pen before fussy cutting it out.  The sentiments were also from the Nailed It stamp set and stamped in Charcoal ink.  The card base was matted with solid cardstocks that coordinated with the Handy Man pack.  The tape measure was popped up with foam tape and I added enamel dots for a finishing touch. 
The drill card was created in a very similar way, with the exception of die cutting around the images with a stitched square die and using a different patterned cardstock from the Handy Man Pack.
The Nailed It stamp set had previously been available and it was one that was well loved and used by me!  You can find other cards I created with this stamp set here:

SumMore Fun **New Release** Handy Man Pack

Good Friday morning!  It is a wonderful day because SumMore Fun is releasing a new pack called the Handy Man Pack.  You can see all the pack has to offer below.


Contents of the Handy Man Pack include:

1 -Handy Man photopolymer stamp set
1 -Nailed It photopolymer stamp set
3 -woodgrain card bases
3 -white card bases
6 -woodgrain envelopes
5 -6” x 6” designer card stock

Here is what I created for release day!

I started with one of the fabulous woodgrain embossed card bases that is included in the Handy Man Pack.  The texture of those blew me away!! I used image stamps from the Handy Man set to stamp directly onto the card base using a stamp platform and Scrapbook.com Leather ink. I used a white gel pen to add accents that really help the images pop.
To keep this card simple, I added a banner of dark brown cardstock plus Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine along the left side.  I stamped the sentiment, once again from the Handy Man set, in Leather ink onto white cardstock.  I embellished that paper with a gold staple then popped it up with foam tape.  I shaded under the workbench with a marker and blended more of the Leather ink around the perimeter of the card as a finishing touch.

Make sure to stop by the SumMore Fun blog for more inspiration from the DT using the Handy Man Pack!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Bakers Twine ~ Halloween Treat in PINK

Hello all!  Welcome to another post for the Trendy Twine blog!  This time, I went a bit on the non-traditional side for a Halloween project.  It is a Halloween treat bag in green and PINK!  You guessed it, this one is going to be for my daughter, who loves pink.  It features Lime Licorice Trendy Twine and a Pink Polka Dot Grid Candy Wrapper Kit.
I started by wrapping Hershey's miniatures with the papers included in the Pink Polka Dot Grid Candy Wrapper Kit.  It works great to add a mini Glue Dot to one end of the wrapper, sticking it to the bottom of the candy, then adding another Glue Dot on the opposite end and wrap it all the way around.  The wraps are double sided, so both patterns you see were included in the kit!  I did add green washi tape to some of the wrappers to tie in some green.  Once they were added to the included bag of the wrapper kit, I made the topper.  I started with a Leaf Green Scallop Note Card, and Black Licorice Tag-It.  The Tag-It was dressed up with a Pink Midnight Trendy Page Dot, Lime Licorice Trendy Twine, and Pink Diamond Sparkling Gems.  I stamped on it with VersaMark, a sentiement from the Happy Halloween stamp set and heat embossed with white powder.
Once the Tag-It was adhered to the note card, I wrapped Lime Licorice Trendy Twine around the whole card three times.  For extra cuteness, I stamped a cute witch in black ink and colored her with Artify markers in colors to match the project theme.  For the broom, I used pieces of Stormy Trendy Twine and added a tie of Lime Licorice Trendy Twine.  The witch was popped up with foam tape onto the note card.  

Here's what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Thankful Leaves Card and SNEAK PEEK!

Hello all!  I am on the SumMore Fun blog today with this lovely fall card.  The leaves are all from the beautiful Raisin Boat Arboretum Leaves stamp set.  It is THE PERFECT stamp set for fall!

The card was very simple to make.  I stamped the leaf stamps from Arboretum Leaves with Distress Oxides in the following colors: Aged Mahogany, Rusty Hinge, Peacock Feathers, and Fossilized Amber all over the white cardstock.  I sprayed that panel with Mod Podge matte acrylic sealer so the ink wouldn't rub off.  I added Twisted Teal Trendy Twine around the panel and embellished with enamel dots.  For the sentiment, I started with a CC stitched circle die cut of vellum and glued two Momenta "thankful" sentiments to it.  The vellum circle was popped up with thin pieces of foam tape behind the sentiment so it wouldn't be visible from the front side.

Last, but definitely not least, I have a sneak peek for you!  In TWO DAYS we will be releasing another "pack".  I can't tell you what it is, but here is a teaser for you...
Be sure to stop back on Friday to see the entire pack!  It will be limited quantities and the last couple of packs we released sold out within 3 days.  I don't want you to miss out!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Halloween Take Out Boxes with Annie's Paper Boutique

Hello Trendy Twine fans!  Welcome to the first day of October.  The design team is so excited to be crafting for the upcoming holidays, that we decided to have a guest design team group join in all the fun!  Today we are having a group post with both the regular design team AND the guest design team to get the creativity flowing for the fall season.  Please join us in welcoming the amazing guest designers!  Be sure to hop over to the Trendy Twine blog to see the projects from all of the Trendy Twine Gals!  

For today's group post, I created these adorable Halloween treats using Lime Licorice Trendy Twine and Mini Take Out Boxes.

I started out by wrapping Halloween washi tape around the Mini Take Out Boxes.  Next, I stamped Halloween Kids stamps on patterned paper, colored them with Artify alcohol markers, and fussy cut them out, one for each box.  The first box was decorated with a Mango Tag-It, Lime Licorice Batty Sequins, Lime Orangesicle Trendy Page Dot, and Lime Licorice Trendy Twine.  I then glued on the dracula stamped image and a banner that was stamped with a sentiement from the Happy Halloween stamp set in Scrapbook.com Succulent ink.
The ghost treat box was made in a very similar way, with the exceptions of using a ghost stamp and a Black Licorice Tag-It.  I found that Scor-Tape worked very well to adhere the Tag-its to the plastic box and mini Glue Dots did a great job with the sequins.
My final box was made with the same products as the ghost box but I used a frankenstein stamp on it!  Didn't they turn out cute?!  I know my boys will love them!
