Happy Birthday Sunflower

Hello - Jeanette here from the design team (and from Cre8tive Play). Thank you for stopping by the blog today! 

There are still a few days left in the current special promotion going on at SumMore Fun. 

Now that's what I call a good deal!

Who wants to go shopping at SumMore Fun?

One of the many items available is the gorgeous Large Sunflower stamp that I used on this card...

I've used this stamp many times - I absolutely love it! This time I watercolored it with Karin markers for a softer more artsy look.

The birthday greeting is from the Crocus Craving stamp set - another one of my favorites!

Thanks again for stopping by the blog.

I hope you have SumMore Fun today!

Brilliant Sunflower

Hello - Jeanette here from the design team (and from Cre8tive Play). Thank you for stopping by the blog today!

Perhaps you've heard... SumMore Fun is offering a Stimulus Package of goodies. If not, check it out - HERE. While each of the packages isn't exactly alike, they are very similar. One thing that is in each package is the No Loss for Words stamp set, which you've already seen the design team use here on the blog.

I did not use it on my card today, but I do think it's a great stamp set; so versatile.

Here are the other items that were in the Stimulus Package that I received earlier this week from SumMore Fun...

I used three items from the package on my card: the Brilliant die, a ladybug (it's white but I colored it), and one of those wobbly things.

This is my 4th card this month, using the Large Sunflower stamp. That was my goal, to use it in different ways each week this month. This time I colored it and then fussy cut it... but I cut each leaf separately so I could change the configuration.

In this side shot you can see that the leaves are actually adhered to the card front but the bloom is not. The bloom is on one of those wobble things so it is interactive and fun, but also shy about being photographed. 

I used a marker an colored the ladybug.

I hope you have SumMore Fun today!

Have You Heard About the SumMore Fun's Stimulus Package?

Hello - Jeanette here from the design team (and from Cre8tive Play). Thank you for stopping by the blog today!

I hope you received the email from Sabrina (the owner of SumMore Fun store - Victorine Originals, Raisin Boat, and so much more) earlier this week. She has put together a fantastic assortment of items and is selling it at a greatly discounted price in what she's calling a Stimulus Package. Check it out - HERE. Imagine receiving a small Priority box of goodies in the mail? How fun is that!?!?!? Papers. embellishments, wobbles, and so much more - including the awesome No Loss for Words stamp set. It has so many fantastic sentiments on it. Just look...

This set is definitely a versatile one. 

You might remember I  committed to making a card each week of April using the Victorine Originals Large Sunflower stamp and I have not veered from that commitment. However, I did add a sentiment from the stamp set that is included in every SumMore Fun Stimulus Package - No Loss for Words.

I almost always color with Copic Markers, but this time I colored the sunflower with Inktense Colored Pencils on Kraft cardstock for a different look.

Oh, and in case you're wondering... yes, I have a SumMore Fun Stimulus Package heading my way. I can hardly wait!

Thanks again for stopping by!

Be sure to come back again next week to see what I do with the Large Sunflower stamp then.

If you're interested in purchasing this GREAT stamp, you'll find it HERE.

I hope you have SumMore Fun today!

Sunflower Thanks

Hello - Jeanette here from the design team (and from Cre8tive Play). Thank you for stopping by the blog today! If you haven't been to the SumMore Fun store lately, you might want to check it out. The prices are great as the liquidation sale continues and supplies are limited.

If you were here on the blog last week, you saw a card I made using the Victorine Originals Large Sunflower stamp set. If you didn't see it and would like to, you can do so by going HERE. It really is a fabulous stamp. So I've decided to give myself a little challenge and at the same time. I'm going to use that same MARVELOUS stamp for each of my Saturday cards this month, using it in different ways each time. (I've not thought past this week, but surely I can make this work.)

Last week I used the paper-piecing technique. This week I partially stamping the sunflower repeatedly. 

In retrospect I wish I had stamped the flower three times instead of four, but it was too late. Once stamped, one cannot un-stamp. So four it is. (It looks too balanced this way - three really would have been better!)

The sentiment is from the Flourishing Sentiments stamp set.

Thanks again for stopping by!

Be sure to come back again next week to see what I do with the Large Sunflower stamp then.

Face the Sun

Hello - Jeanette here from the design team (and from Cre8tive Play). Thank you for stopping by the blog today! If you haven't been to the SumMore Fun store lately, you might want to check it out. The prices are great as the liquidation sale continues and supplies are limited.

For my card today I used the Large Sunflower stamp. Sunflowers are my favorite flower so of course I am glad to own this stamp.

I used a paper piecing technique to make the card, which works really well with the large image.

Thanks again for stopping by!

It's a Wash

Hello - Jeanette here from the design team (and from Cre8tive Play). I'm so glad you've stopped by the blog today.

I love LOVE the many watercolor wash cards I see on blogs, Instagram, Facebook, etc. Impressive! I am normally a stamp and color kind of gal but for today's card, I decided to try my hand at the watercolor wash technique.

I just did a random swish (is that a word) of color with watercolor paints and a soaked paint brush.

Once the watercolor was completely dry, I stamped the GORGEOUS Victorine Originals Large Sunflower stamp with a rich black ink and stamped on top of the watercolored piece. 

I didn't use the entire image (it would have fit but I decided I liked this look better for this card).

This card was so easy to make and I like the look. I hope you do, too!

Have SumMore Fun today!

Unforgettable You

Hello - Jeanette here from the design team (and from Cre8tive Play). I'm so glad you've stopped by the blog today. Something you might not know about me - I'm rather fond of sunflowers. They are one of my favorite flowers (Tulips in the Spring, Rose Moss in the early Summer and Sunflowers in the late Summer). That means it's not surprising that Victorine Originals' Large Sunflower stamp is also one of my favorites. 

I used this stamp a number of weeks ago and it was a joy to color (you can see that card HERE), but this time I decided to do some paper piecing instead. I like to fussy cut... and I think it looks great on this sunflower.

For some other inspiration from the design team using this gorgeous stamp, check out the link - HERE. There are so many different ways to use this stamp, trust me, you're going to want to see them.

The sentiment on my card is from the Raisin Boat Flourishing Thoughts stamp set. It has so many GREAT sentiments on it and isn't that script gorgeous?

A Big Thanks

Hello, Jeanette here from the design team. I'm so glad you've stopping by the blog today. You can find me here on the SumMore Fun blog every Sunday as well as on my personal blog - Cre8tive Play.

I've used two different Victorine Originals stamp sets to make today's card:

Large Sunflower

Florals and Sayings (Thank You)

This sunflower is a gorgeous stamped image - big enough that it nearly fills an A2 card size, which is awesome, since sunflowers are supposed to be large. And what a beauty to color!

I added a Lady Bug Brad to the center of the sunflower:

Thanks again for stopping by! I hope you have a beautiful day filled with sunshine!
