All dressed up half way reminder

Good morning! I'm sorry I've not been around, life took a turn and I had to concentrate on things around me - BUT I'm back and will be posting more than ever as I have lots of new goodies to show you

All you need to do is follow this month's current theme which is All Dressed Up and use at least one of their many stamps (even one of the digital freebies!) and you could win a $20 gift card, if the design team love your make we will be giving a prize of $15.

You don't need a blog, you just need a photo of your creation and post it in the current challenge album on our SumMore Fun Creations Face book Page

Ok this month's theme is All dressed up, yes we have just had Halloween so could be a Halloween make but don't forget about Thanksgiving - turkeys, Christmas, party season it's all go at this time of year and we all have some even to make crafts for that will include dressing up.

We don't just want to see cards, if you do mixed media, scrapbooking, journaling, planners anything goes as long as it's hand made by you and follows our theme.

I have decided to do a Christmas themed card for this post. with Jolly old St Nick himself making a comeback

Yes Santa himself gets dressed up for his night on the tiles!

I stamped the Large Dear Old Santa in black ink and colored him with alcohol markers. I then used a circle die to cut him out and inked the edges of the white card so it wasn't so stark.

I matted a white card base with red card and this gorgeous vintage patterned paper. I positioned my image on the card. I then added transparent pearl pen to his glasses imitating the lenses.

I die cut 'believe' and added a few color matching pearls to balance the design.

Dear old Santa

It's the 8th of December, yes we have snow and yes I'm starting to decorate the house. Shopping has been done and my cards are starting to make their appearance.

Today is a new mood board challenge over on the Sum More Fun blog and of course its all about Christmas - All Decked Out:

It"s a great board for this time of year - who doesn't make cards following this theme and if you join in you can win yourself a gift certificate worth $20 

However If you use a Sum More Fun stamp it doubles to $40

 Who doesn't think of  Father Christmas at this time of year. If you've got kids his name is constantly being mentioned.

This leads me to my make I chose the colors of red and green from the mood board:

I love this stamp such a traditional image of Dear Old Santa. I wanted to keep my card simple so I colored him with Copic markers. I then took pieces of green and read card and die cut frames. Using the waste from the green frame I cut it to size and adhered the cut oval over my image. I then added the red frame to the center of the oval. This was then placed onto a 7x5 in card base. I die cut the word believe and some holly. This along with some glittery enamel dots were arranged around the image.

So what are you waiting for head on over to the Sum More Fun blog and join in the fun.

We do have just a few rules which you can find here
