SumMore Fun Monthly Challenge #2

Good morning and welcome to SumMore Fun's monthly challenge!  

Each challenge will have a theme, this may be a technique for you to try or a physical theme.  We are no longer expecting you to link your blog post to our challenge post.  We have a great new Facebook fan group called SumMore Fun Creations. All entries should be placed in the album labeled Monthly Challenge #2 in this group which can be found by clicking the link above.  This means even if you don't have a blog you can now join in!!

On to our second monthly challenge:

This month's theme is Christmas Crafts

My inspiration card uses the Victorine Originals Swirl Christmas Tree stamp and Christmas Wishes stamp.

The tag was die cut out of white cardstock and I stamped the Swirl Christmas Tree stamp using Sparkling Unicorn Spit in Lavish Lovebirds.  I simply took a paintbrush and painted the Unicorn Spit onto the stamp, then stamped it onto the tag.  Check out the beautiful shimmer and watercolor-like look it has!  To finish off the tag, I blended Walnut Stain Distress Oxide Ink around the outside and tied Cherry Latte Trendy Twine at the top.

The patterned papers are from The Paper Studio's Rustic Noel paper pad.  I added 3 colors of burlap ribbon behind the tag to add to the rustic feel of the card.  The Christmas Wishes sentiment was stamped with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with white powder.  I added red Stickles to the tree and corners of the card for a little extra sparkle.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Hot Dog Wobble Card

Good Morning!  Today is my day to post on the SumMore Fun blog.  The card I am sharing with you uses the Raisin Boat Canines in Costume stamp set.  I just love how fun that set is!

I stamped the wiener dog from the Canines in Costume stamp set onto white cardstock using VersaFine Onyx Black ink, then watercolored it with Distress Inks (Antique Linen, Fired Brick, Mustard Seed, Vintage Photo, and Weathered Wood).  The white and black ovals were die cut with GMD Slash Stitched Oval Dies.  I even added an Action Wobble between those two layers so the dog would wiggle :)  I also stamped the Hot Dog sentiment from the same stamp set onto the yellow banner with black ink.

Here is a close up of the Action Wobble.  My boys all LOVED trying it out!  Other products used on this card include papers from the DCWV Good Eats stack and coordinating sequins.

Remember, we have a monthly "All Dressed Up" challenge going on right right now in the SumMore Fun Creations Facebook group!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Christmas Treats with Annie's Paper Boutique

Happy Monday!  The Trendy Twine DT is showcasing some fun Christmas treat projects today that use Annie's Paper Boutique stamps.  Hop on over to the Twine It Up! blog for all the inspiration!

I started with a Mini 4oz. Cup and wrapped it with paper from DCWV's Blue Noel stack.  I used Scor-tape to adhere it to the cup to make sure it would stick well!

I decorated the top with a die cut and stamped a sentiment from the APB Let It Snow stamp set in a 1" circle for the top.  A few Peppermint Icicle Sequins adhered with Glue Dots and the top was done!

I wrapped Peppermint Icicle Trendy Twine around the lid of the cup then let two strands hang.  To those, I attached die cut mittens from SVG Attic.  They are sized at 2" tall.  Then I added the "cold hands, warm heart" sentiment from the APB Let It Snow stamp set to a banner and tied it to the lid with two jingle bells and more of the Peppermint Icicle Trendy Twine.  I also added the negative die cut of the snowflakes from the mittens on the sides of the cup and more of the Peppermint Icicle Sequins for a finishing touch.

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

Trendy Bakers Twine~Contemporary Thankful Card

Hello all and happy Tuesday!  I am sharing the "thankful" card I made for the Trendy Twine blog today. This month we are showcasing Orangesicle Trendy Twine. 

I started with some fun contemporary patterned papers from DCWV's Peachy Keen stack.  I wanted the sentiment from APB Happy Thanksgiving stamp set to be the focal point, so I stamped it in black ink on a Mango Tag-It, then layered that on a White Tag-It.  I added a Lime Orangesicle Trendy Page Dot to the tag then tied Orangesicle Trendy Twine through the hole.

I wrapped three strands of Orangesicle Trendy Twine around the light gray cardstock to add a little more visual interest to the card.  To embellish, I glued Pink Diamonds Sparkling Gems and Autumn Sequins on the lower right corner.

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

Orangesicle Trendy Twine

APB Happy Thanksgiving stamp set

Mango Tag-It

 White Tag-It

Lime Orangesicle Trendy Page Dot

 Pink Diamonds Sparkling Gems

Autumn Sequins

Tiny Treat Boxes

Hello everyone!  Today I am posting for the SVG Attic blog.  I created these tiny treat boxes using SVG Attic's Mini Treat Place Card file.

The original file creates a box that is only 1.25" tall, but I enlarged these just a bit so they could hold a little more.  The papers I used are all from DCWV's Red & White Christmas stack.  The design is super simple to assemble, but directions can be found HERE if you need them!

The tags are included with this file and I stamped them with VersaMark ink and sentiments from APB Merry & Bright stamp set.  I heat embossed them with silver glitter embossing powder for a bit of sparkle and shine.  I then tied them to the wrap around the box with Peppermint Stick and Stormy Trendy Twines.  Inside the boxes I added money and Hershey's Kisses.  These will make great stocking stuffers for Christmas!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Happy Birthday, Lesley!

Today is a very special day!  Lesley, the owner of Annie's Paper Boutique is celebrating her birthday.  The DT, GDT, and past DT members wanted to make is extra special, so we are surprising her with lots of cards.  Head on over to the Twine It Up blog to see them all!

Here is the card I created for her...

Lesley loves Disney related things, and I have an EK Success Mickey Mouse & Friends paper pad in my stash that I knew would be perfect for her card.  The cascading card base and envelope files are from SVG Attic.  The card features Trendy Twine (of course!) in Cherry Cupcake as a wrap around it to hold it closed.

When the card is all opened up, you can see that I stamped on the inside of two of the panels with ABP Smile and APB Documenting the Everyday stamp sets. 

Here are close ups of thsoe two panels.

The Smile stamp set is one of my favorites for birthday cards!

Last, but not least, I added a Minnie die cut at the top and decorated with Pink Diamond Sparkling Gems, and dots of Kirarina Pearl White pen.  I hope Lesley loves it :)

Remember to hop on over to the Twine It Up blog to see all the amazing cards.

Turkey in Woods Card

Good Morning!  Today I have a reminder post for the current "All Dressed Up" challenge that is in the SumMore Fun Creations Facebook group. The card I am sharing with you uses Raisin Boat's Happy Thanksgiving stamp set and Victorine Originals' Grove of Trees stamp.

I stamped the Grove of Trees stamp twice and grass from the Happy Thanksgiving stamp set using my stamp platform onto white cardstock using black ink.  I used wonky stitched rectangle dies and patterned paper from DCWV's Amber Autumn stack to mat and layer the stamped image.  The tom turkey stamp is also from the Happy Thanksgiving stamp set.  I stamped it onto another piece of white cardstock and cut around it with my Brother Scan N Cut (Love that machine!)  I then colored the turkey with Prismacolor colored pencils then popped it up onto my card front with foam tape.  Three copper brads were the only embellishments I added.  Now this card is ready for Thanksgiving or a birthday, depending on what sentiment I add to the inside!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

For You Rose Card

Good Morning!  Today is my day to post on the SumMore Fun blog.  The card I am sharing with you uses SumMore Fun's A Rose By Any Other Name stamp set.

I stamped the image and sentiment on watercolor paper using my stamp platform and Versafine Onyx Black ink.  I then brushed Sparkling Unicorn Spit (samples) on my craft mat and spritzed them with water then tapped my paper into the colors.  The colors I used were Starling Sasha, Violet Vulture, and Golden Gosling.  I then used a thin paintbrush to paint the roses with Violet Vulture Unicorn Spit and some of the other elements with Golden Gosling Unicorn Spit.  Click on the picture below for it to zoom in so you can see how beautiful the sparkle is with the Sparkling Unicorn Spit!!

To finish the card off, I matted the stamped panel with black and patterned cardstock, then added purple enamel dots and Glitter Pink Pearl Pen dots which added just a little more sparkle and shine to it!

You Are Amazing Card

Good Morning!  Today is my day to post on the SumMore Fun blog.  The card I am sharing with you uses the SMF On Pointe stamp set.

I stamped the image and sentiment from the SMF On Pointe stamp set with brown ink because I wanted a softer image to blend with the whole shabby chic feel of the card.  I die cut around the image with a stitched oval die then accented the image with Pearl Pen in Glitter Pink and Pearl Pink.  The shine and glitter on her dress is so beautiful in real life!  I matted that with a kraft die cut oval and popped that up with foam tape on a die cut lace square.

I added the sentiment banner with foam tape and embellished it with a dot of Pearl Pink Pearl Pen on each end.  The only other embellishment I used was Cotton Candy Trendy Twine.  The patterned papers are from The Paper Studio's Boho Vibes paper pad.

Remember, we have a monthly challenge going on right right now in the SumMore Fun Creations Facebook group!  It has a theme of All Dressed Up, so enter your projects that fit that theme today.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!
