Serendipity June Blog Hop!

Posted on June 15, 2016 12:00 AM by Julie 15 Comments

Welcome to the June Blog Hop for Serendipity Stamps! If you arrived here from Jenny’s Blog, you are in the right place..if not, you may want to head over there first.
My first card features the super cute little Heart Bouquet. I found a small piece of water color background in my stash & the colors seemed perfect for it. I stamped it w/ Versafine off to the side & used a white gel pen in just a few small areas. A die cut white linen frame was attached on top of it w/ the Love You stamped at the bottom & one small, fussy cut heart at the top. For the larger linen layer, I stamped the Sun Garden image across the bottom & left it uncolored. I drew the very narrow frame around it w/ a ruler & black Micron pen. A couple of narrow black layers were attached under the 2 white linen layers.

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Heart Bouquet, Sun Garden, Love You Sm.

Paper: water color, Staples #110 white, Neenah white linen, black

Ink: Versafine onyx

Accessories: , Spellbinders A2 matting basics A & B dies, pierced rectangles, MISTI, Brushos water color crystals, white gel pen, black micron pen

As I started my second card, I realized I did not have any wedding or anniversary images or greetings 😯 So I used mostly die cuts out of silver mirror board to go w/ the silver & kraft colored paper I had. The Special Day greeting was silver heat embossed on a piece of plain craft & inserted under the large Congratulations die cut.

The two little hearts beneath the greeting were from the Love die, which I ended up not using here. I love the look of the mirror board die cuts, but it is so hard to photograph!

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Everyday Words Small

Paper: Staples #110 white, silver mirror board, kraft, dp (Recollections – Vintage Glam)

Ink: Encore Ulitmate metallic silver pigment

Accessories: Serendipity Mini Heart Scroll, Heart Solid, Heart Scroll, Congratulations, Love dies, Spellbinders A2 matting basics A, petite ovals, petite scallop ovals dies, pierced rectangles, MISTI, silver embossing powder

Serendipity SSCB#56 – Stamp a Background!

Posted on June 1, 2016 12:00 AM by Julie 1 Comment

Welcome to the June Challenge for Serendipity Stamps!
This month the challenge is Die Cutting You can get all the details over on the Serendipity Challenge Blog. June’s “Stamp of the Month” is 50% off & this month- it’s Love is Patient!. 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.

For my Ferris Wheel shaker card, I put the image in my Misti, stamped w/ Memento, colored w/ Copics then over stamped w/ Versafine. I die cut the entire panel w/ one of the matting basics, then used a stitched rectangle die for the inside. I had to do a little into the window around the ferris wheel by determining which areas to trim around & lift above the die to keep from cutting them off. I used a clear envelope for the shaker part..sprinkled a tiny bit of glitter & added the sequins, then taped the edges shut & attached it behind the opening. I put the cut off background back behind the ferris wheel, added some foam tape all around the edges, then attached it to a slightly larger cobalt blue layer.
For the larger stamped background, I used the Ink Spots image and the sky blue ink all over the die cut layer then attached everything to my card.

Here are the Copics I used.

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Ferris Wheel, Uplifting Sentiments, Ink Spots

Paper: X-Press It white, Staples #110 white, cobalt blue

Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Versafine onyx (to overstamp image after coloring), Memories sky blue

Accessories: , Spellbinders A2 matting basics A & B dies, Copic markers, MISTI, stitched rectangles dies, sequins, stickles waterfall dry glitter

Does this image make you thirsty, lol? It’s been a 5 O’Clock kind of week around here. And I just love images w/ colorful, tasty beverages in them. After coloring them I die cut them & added some equally colorful layers of papers behind them. I thought the Relax die would fit in perfectly w/ the image.

I added some stickles here & there for a little sparkle.

I’ve shown this on other posts, but I’m always amazed at how much sharper the image looks after over stamping w/ Versafine. Below.. left is just w/ Memento & Copics..right is after stamping again w/ Versafine (click any picture to enlarge).

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

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – It’s 5 O’Clock

Paper: X-Press It white, Staples #110 white, black, dp (Amer.Crafts – #Summer, Pebbles -Fun in the Sun)

Ink: Memento tuxedo black, Versafine onyx (to overstamp image after coloring)
