Foxy Sneak Peek

Good Afternoon, Sharon here from Fiddly Diddly Cards and Crafts, here at SumMore Fun we are having a new release this week - all will be revealed on Friday but for now I have a sneak peek at a couple of the stamps:

Isn't this little fox the cutest and I made a CAS card to showcase how adorable he is. I stamped him with memento ink and colored him with alcohol markers.

The sentiment is also from the same stamp set there are a number of sentiments, I always find it useful to have matching sayings makes the putting together a design so simple.

Mt teamies will be showcasing other stamps from this set over the week and the on Friday will be the full reveal so keep watch!

Thanks for stopping by and as always if you are looking for more inspiration check out my teamies creations on the Blog, FaceBook, Instagram and Pinterest.

Way To Go!

Happy Friday! Lisa from The Relativity of Paper sharing four cards featuring the Victorine Originals Bicycles Set with Penny Farthing. 

Using the colors from the current mood board I did a little repeat stamping with the bicycles, add an embossed line below and above the stamped image using my mini scoreboard, and added a simple sentiment from my stash. 

Using the news print stamps with this set I stamped backgrounds in black and brown, stamped the Penny Farthing in Pink and Green ink, used the scan n cut to cut them out, and popped them up off the stamped backgrounds with 3D mounting foam. The die-cut sentiment is from my stash. 

Please be sure to join our current mood board for a chance to win.

Woman's Face

Good Morning Dreamerz and Happy Wednesday!!

Today is my day to take over the SumMoreFun Designs Blog.

Here's my inspiration for you using the following stamps:
Woman's Face

For todays post I wanted to share a truly versatile stamp with you. Woman's Face can be stamped on pretty much any paper, Patterned or plain and the results are always perfect.

Card Recipe:
I stamped the Woman's Face on a piece of Distress ink smooshed watercolor paper from my stash using Memento Dew Drops in Tuxedo Black and then applied some some flicks of black watercolor paint over the surface of both the base of the card and the stamped panel. The sentiment is from my stash and was stamped on a piece of velum then I applied a thin layer of white paint to the backside to take away some of the translucent properties of the velum.

With all the stamping and layers ready to go next up was assembly of the card. I used Tombow Extreme to affix the stamped Woman's Face layer to the A2 sized side folding piece of Neenah Desert Storm 100lb cardstock that I previously flicked the black on. The sentiment was then applied over a nest of silver thread using Tombow Extreme

Hello

Good Morning Dreamerz and Happy Wednesday!!

Today is my day to take over the SumMoreFun Designs Blog.

Here's my inspiration for you using:
Cherry Blossom

Card Recipe:
I stamped the Cherry Blossom using my Tim Holtz stamp platform on a piece of Kraft cardstock using Memento Dew Drops in Rich Cocoa.  Then using my Prismacolor pencils I colored over the cherry blossoms and leaves. The hello sentiment is from my stash that I used Versamark and golden peach embossing powder.  I chose to die cut the panel with a dainty scalloped edged die.
I then affixed the layer to a piece of green cardstock. Once all layers were dry I attached the project to a top folding A2 sized card base made with Neenah 110lb cardstock.  To finish off my project I added a couple drops of Nuvo.

Hippity Hoppity

How in the world is it April already? I'm having trouble accepting how fast time is moving. Happy Easter to you and all of yours! I hope you have a truly blessed day with those you love!

How cute are these little girls and these bunnies? This layout was a one-page kit I picked up cheap that I expanded. 

I started by assembling the layout and figuring out where to put my pictures, and then I added the fun "extras." I don't always enjoy doing it, but doodling on your layout makes the additions pop so much more! For my title, bunnies and duck and flowers, I doodled the edges and added some dots with the amazing Kirarina Wink Glitter Markers (can you tell that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE these things?).

I also took my Memento Dew Drop Ink pads and inked the edges of my animals and my flowers. 

I wanted to add an extra "Easter" element to these pages, especially since my daughters and my niece were picking up eggs in these pictures. So, I found the Victorine Originals Egg stamp, and knew it would be perfect. For this page, I stamped them in clusters of three, outlined them with the Kirarina markers, then colored them in with coordinating chalk.

For the second page, I wanted to hide the eggs in the grass. I stamped them across the page, outlined them with the Kirarina markers and colored them in with chalk, too. 

Thanks for checking out my newest Easter layout! What projects are you working on right now? Do you need some inspiration? Check out our newest mood board! It's beauty will definitely inspire you to think and create spring! As always, every entry is qualified to win our awesome prizes! See the blog for full information!

Happy crafting!

Cross of Flowers

Good Morning Dreamerz and Happy Wednesday!!

Today is my day to take over the SumMoreFun Designs Blog.

Here's my inspiration for you using:
Cross of Flowers

Today I want to share my take on a pencil colored image on black cardstock.

Card Recipe:
I stamped the Cross of Flowers using my Tim Holtz stamp platform on black cardstock from my stash using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  Then I proceeded to color in the stamped image with Prismacolor Premier pencils using bright lights on my craft desk so that I could see the ink stamped outline.  Once I was happy I set it aside and created the white top layer. I stamped the cross onto some scratch white cardstock and trimmed it to the very edges of the cross. Taking my previously diecut top layer I placed the cross that I had just trimmed on the back and traced it with a pencil once I had it positioned just where I wanted the opening to be.  I used my small steel ruler and an exacto knife on a self healing mat to cut the cross from the white cardstock.  I used tiny foam squares and affixed it to the top of the pencil colored image and then affixed the whole thing to a piece of yellow cardstock. Once all layers were dry I attached the project to a top folding A2 sized card base made with Neenah 110lb cardstock.

Spring Is In The Air

Hi and welcome, everyone! Lisa from The Relativity of Paper taking over the blog. I'm so ready for Spring this year.  We are doing new flower beds, adding lots of trees, to our front yard this year. We are in dire need of a little thing called curb appeal. So I was thinking this would be a great time to break out the Spring stamps and keep with the current mood board's color palette, adding a little last minute inspiration for you. 

Creating this card is very simple. 

• You want to die-cut a piece #110 Neenah Cardstock or whatever white cardstock you have available to you using two circle dies, just a random pattern.
•  I used a stamping position tool and lay down a piece of cardstock to stamp on, then position the die-cut piece over the top of it to determine stamp positions. You will be doing a lot of back and forth with this but it goes fairly quick. Using different shades of dye ink stamp the images once you have them positioned. 
• Add 3D mounting foam to the back of the die-cut paper and adhere to stamped panel making sure your circles are correctly positioned to reveal stamped images. 
• Stamp sentiment onto a gray cardstock, stamp bunny on white cardstock and add a little color with COPIC W00 and W3, glue white pom for bunnies tail, 
• Adhere both sentiment and bunny with 3D mounting foam. 
• Finish off with enamel dots in shades of green and gold.

You are My Sunshine

Hello! Jamie here, and it's my day to take over the blog, and I'm so in love with this project! Maybe it's because I'm wishing for spring? I'm also happy with how easy it was to take a Raisin Boat stamp set and use it for my journaling on this project.

This was actually a kit I purchased for under $2 at a garage sale at a crop I attended last fall. I totally scored with it!

I started by inking the edges of ALL the pieces with coordinating colors of Memento dew drop inks. The hardest part of these kits, I think, is not losing any of the tiny pieces. Sometimes that's a struggle! I had to cut down my sun "rays" and my grass into pieces before inking. Then I started assembling; this is probably my least-favorite part - but it's so worth it!!! 

After I assembled the layout, I took my amazing Kirarina Wink Glitter markers and added the doodling. This is pretty labor intensive, but it makes the layout so much cuter! I added some chalk in different places as well.

I took monthly pictures of my kids in their first year, so I don't journal on these layouts. Instead, I found the perfect sentiments from the Raisin Boat You are My Sunshine stamp set! I had to rearrange the you are my sunshine sentiment, but that's the great thing about using a stamp positioning tool and clear stamps!

I doodled some more with the Kirarina markers on the sentiments. I really wanted sunshine to pop off the page, so I wrote over that with a marker.

Hello Friend

Good Morning Dreamerz and Happy Wednesday!!

Today is my day to take over the SumMoreFun Designs Blog.

Here's my inspiration for you using:
Oops a Daisy

Today I want to share my take on a Eclipse Card with you.

Card Recipe:
I first stamped the larger of the 2 daisies in the set on some masking paper then fussy cut it so that I would have a mask that I could not only use for this card but for future projects also.  For the stamped layer I used a piece of Bristol Vellum cut to 5.25 x 4.00. I then took and made a very light pencil mark/line thru the center lengthwise as I wanted the flowers and die cut layer to be as centered as possible. I stamped the largest daisy using my Tim Holtz stamping platform as near to the center as possible using Gray Flannel ink from Memento.  Next I applied the mask of the stamped image and took the smaller of the 2 daisies and positioned it where I wanted and stamped it in the same color ink, to achieve the second daisy I flipped the card 180 degrees and stamped the next daisy. The sentiment was then added using Tangelo ink from Memento. After removing the mask I used a big hello die and die cut the center, I also die cut 4 more times using gray cardstock from my stash that would be used in assembly for the final project. Using Faber Castell watercolor pencils I colored in only the parts of the flowers that were on the die cut letters paying close attention to where the petals from one flower intersected another.  Once I was happy with the colors I assembled the card by gluing down the die cut base to gray cardstock, then I started adding in the layers of gray cardstock on top of each other to build up the word hello, the final step was gluing down the letters I had previously watercolored and adding a tiny yellow/gold rhinestone on the sentiment.

Rub a dub dub

I'm sitting here at a crop (stopping every few minutes to borrow products from the SumMore Fun booth) FINALLY getting some scrapbooking done. I hope this finds all of you well, as we haven't been at our house and it's been a rough couple of weeks.

Seriously, you guys, if you ever have a chance to attend a crop where SumMore Fun is a vendor - you must do so! The amount of wonderful product they have is so super awesome and handy for croppers!

Now on to the layout... I found this one-page layout kit at a recent scrapbooking garage sale. It was $1! How could I resist? I don't often make one-page layouts because I take WAY TOO MANY pictures, so first I had to figure out how to adjust it to a two-page layout.

From top to bottom: I colored in the title with the beautiful violet Kirarina Wink Glitter Marker. Once it was dry, I added some accents with purple glitter glue. 

I inked all the edges of my white photo mats with a coordinating ink. These Memento inks are PERFECT for this!

Then I went crazy with the bubbles! These are vellum circles. I inked the edges with the Bahama Blue Memento ink. I glued them to the sheet with a clear liquid glue. As they dried, they naturally curled - which made them look even more like bubbles! Once they were secure, I drew highlights on with a sky blue Kirarina Wink Glitter Marker. Then I added some shimmer chalk. To finish them off, I added lines of clear glitter glue!

I used the Raisin Boat stamp Baby Face for the bathtub. I stamped it twice, trimmed it out and glued it together. I colored in the bubbles with the sky blue Kirarina Wink Glitter Marker and then added some clear glitter glue. I also used the aqua blue marker for some accents.

For the journaling block, I used a sentiment from the Leave Your Mark Raisin Boat stamp and added accents with the sky blue Kirarina Wink Glitter Marker and some purple glitter glue.

On the second page, I stamped the new baby circle from the Talking in Circles Raisin Boat stamp set, and then cut around it and colored some of the dots with the three Kirarina Wink Glitter Markers I used on the previous page. I colored in the center of the stamp with a clear glitter shimmer pen.

I assembled the duck using pop dots after I inked the edges with Memento Ink. I colored in some accents with the Kirarina Wink Glitter Markers, a gold shimmer pen and some chalk.
