Welcome to the January Challenge for Serendipity Stamps!
This month the challenge is Stripes! You can get all the details over on the Serendipity Challenge Blog. We have something new…a “Stamp of the Month”. Each month a different image will be 50% off. Each month a different image will be 50% off. This month- it’s the Party Background. Be sure to check out the great deals on the Clearance Stamps! And as always, we have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player.

Since the challenge is stripes, I thought a stripe embossing folder on the white & the Beaded Strings Bg on top of the brayered layer would be perfect. After I stamped the cute Umbrella Snowman w/ Memento & colored with Copics, I overstamped w/ Versafine (it was still in my Misti), then die cut w/ a little out of the box to keep from cutting the umbrella. I then die cut it again using the next smallest die, brayered the cut off frame then put it back. The stripes on the front were embossed on an angle & just on the one corner for a little interest. The partial I Love Snow greeting was stamped onto a pennant which was colored around the edges w/ Copics & the die cut Snow was added below. The extra snowflakes were die cut from the Snow die.

Here’s the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

Blooming Birthday Flowers

A big congrats to Pat, the newest Featured Stamper (FS464) on Splitcoast! She has such a beautiful gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the technique of the brayered embossing folder & layout, but I used different colors, a different embossing folder & different flower dies.

To make my card, I brayered the inside of the embossing folder w/ the fresh greens ink pad then embossed the large white panel. Then I die cut it w/ the largest Flourished Star Pattern die to get the tiny pierced edges. The Asters, Posies & Leaves were all die cut out of white & I sponged a little yellow & orange ink (from the melon melody ink pad) in the centers. The butterflies were stamped w/ the same yellow/orange ink & die cut.

The greeting was stamped & die cut w/ a Mini Tag then all the flowers were assembled & attached. I added a bunch of die cut circles (from the Asters dies) to the centers of the embossed rings for a little extra punch.

Here’s a look at the inside.

Congrats again, Pat! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Serendipity SSCB#47 pt 2- Backgrounds!

Welcome to the September Challenge for Serendipity Stamps! This month the challenge is Stamp Your Own Background! You can get all the details over on the Serendipity Challenge Blog. We have something new…a “Stamp of the Month”. Each month a different image will be 50% off. This month- it’s the Japanese Maple. You might want to check out the super deals on the Bo Bunny paper packs..there are some perfect papers for Christmas & Halloween. For all of you wanting that fabulous Hot Air Balloon Reverse die, they are back in stock so get yours now! And as always, we have a have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player.

My card today is almost entirely bits of leftovers from other projects or backgrounds I didn’t use. The largest background is done on the backside of a piece of glossy card stock & has some kind of a coating on it..sort of semi glossy. The detail Leaf Pops were stamped w/ resist ink then brayered over using a rainbow ink pad. The white strip down the left side was stamped w/ the Fall Pops set using the same ink. The serpentine like glitter strip was a leftover & was made w/ a hot glue gun & glitter was sprinkled on while still hot. The large Solid Leaf Pop was stamped & die cut w/ the matching die. I added some little copper glitter acorns & squiggly pieces from the Oak Leaf die. I die cut an oval in the background & added the greeting underneath. It was first stamped w/ the resist ink, brayered then over stamped (slightly offset) w/ Versafine.

Here’s the inside using more leftovers. I used the oval cut out of the front to stamp the greeting.

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Fall Pops. Leaf Pops Detail set, Leaf Pops Solid set, Leaves, Autumn (inside – Take Time)

Paper: white coated, Neenah white, copper glitter

Ink: Kaliedacolor Tahiti, Ranger resist ink, Versafine onyx
