My card today is all about these wonderful dies from Serendipity Stamps. The Cottage die really reminded me of a birdhouse all dressed up like a Gingerbread house so that’s the direction I went w/ the colors. I even found a piece of brown dp in my stash w/ Gingerbread houses & patterns on it…perfect for the background & behind the door & window. I also cut the little scallop shingles out of it to trim the roofline & bottom. The tan c/s was embossed on an angle (the stripes are vertical on the folder) & some red trim for the door, window & chimney. The little bird was die cut out of red & I added the black to his face so he’d really look like a cardinal. The Season’s Greetings was die cut twice & stacked for a little dimension.

Here’s a look at the inside using the new Have Yourself greeting.

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – (inside – Have Yourself)

Paper: Neenah white, red,dp (Pebbles – Home for Christmas)

White Christmas

Fun & easy challenge today for the Splitcoast Technique Challenge (TLC558)..either white emboss a silhouette image or use a white die cut. I went w/ the die cut option since I’ve had this beautiful die for a while but haven’t used it.

Since the die pretty much makes the card, all I did was add a mega oval behind it. I did die cut it twice, once out of the red & once out of a very dark green, split them then joined the two halves together.Sorry the dark green is very hard to get a good pic of..it almost looks black, but it’s a very pretty forest green.

I added a dp layer & another red layer and done! Here’s a look at the inside using some leftovers.

Paper: heavy white (Recollections), red pepper linen, dk forest green, dp (Pebbles- Welcome Christmas)

Serendipity SSCB#48 pt 2- What’s New?

Posted on October 21, 2015 12:00 AM by Julie 5 Comments

Welcome to the October Challenge for Serendipity Stamps! This month the challenge is What’s New (use your newest products)! 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 Wheel in Snow. Be sure to check out the great deals on the Clearance Stamps & sale stamps!And as always, we have a have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player.

One of my somethings new is the image that happens to be 50% off this month! This is such a wonderful little winter/Christmas image…you don’t really even need to color it. Since I stamped it on textured paper, I used my Misti & Versafine & I stamped it twice to make sure it got into the crevices of the paper. With Versafine, I couldn’t use my Copics, so I used a couple of very pale blue/green Tombow (water based) markers. The greeting was stamped w/ barn door Distress ink before I added some dp layers & snowflake border die cut. I added stickles here & there on the snow & I used a red marker & red stickles to add some berries to the twigs.

Here’s a look at the inside.

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Wheel in Snow, Season’s Greetings

Paper: white textured, dp (red & aqua -Pebbles- Home for Christmas) dp (white wood -Glitz)

Ink: Versafine onyx, Distress ink barn door

Accessories: Spellbinders A2 matting basics A & B dies, Misti, Tombow markers to shade snow, snowflake border die (Darice). stickles, crystals

This lovely Maple Leaf is also new to me. I tried stamping it in a number of inks & colors, but still didn’t get the look I wanted until I white embossed it and sponged the colors onto the background. I die cut a white frame out of textured white, elevated it a bit & attached it to a layer of dp. A second maple leaf was fussy cut and added along w/ the greeting stamped underneath.
