Serendipity Stamps SSCB #28 -Typeprint or Music

Posted on February 5, 2014 12:01 AM by Julie 5 Comments

Welcome to the February challenge for Serendipity Stamps! We’re switching things up a bit in 2014…The challenges will now be MONTHLY so you have longer to play. The design team will still provide inspiration twice a month (every other Wednesday), but you will have the whole month to play along! The Serendipity Challenge this month is Type Print or Sheet Music. And for the Design Team, we’ve added the twist of a food theme with the print. You can find all the details on how to play along with us at the Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog. With each challenge we always have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player. The sale of the week is 40% Off Coupon – from now through February 12th get 40% off the highest priced item in your cart when you enter the code “40fromhigh214” during checkout.

For my foodie card using type print, I chose this sweet cupcake & candle die. I die cut the cupcake a few times out of white card stock, glued two together and attached them over a fussy cut cupcake. To know where to cut the solid version, I use the die to just emboss (not cut) another cupcake, then cut around the outside edge. The third die cut version I colored w/ yellow and pink Copic markers then attached it on top for a little more dimension. Then I added some stickles on the icing for a little sparkle.

The type print is all over the paper I used. I thought this collection of Basic Grey would be perfect as every piece has type print all over it. I die cut the pink layers around the cupcake and fussy cut the black print layer. The bottom of two of the larger layers were die cut with a border die and I used some Ranger black enamel to make the black dots. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

On my first card, I used the lovely Floral Sentiments 3. I stamped the poppies and one extra big poppy, colored with Copics and did an out of the box treatment when die cutting it with a large oval. On the extra poppy, I cut some of the petal in toward the center and popped them up for a little dimension. It’s framed with coral layer and the background on the right was stamped with an ODBD mini bg image. The designer paper was cut with a bracket border die and the greeting was stamped on an ODBD tag die. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

For my second card, I used the beautiful Floral Sentiments flower image and one of the Floral Sentiments 2 greetings. After stamping, coloring and die cutting the flower, I added some stickles down the center veins and a cobalt circle behind it. The greeting was die cut w/ the top part of an ODBD Recipe Card die and I resized it just a bit to make the tab narrower. The dp was die cut along the bottom edge with a border die..the cobalt band was embossed and I added an ODBD Fancy Foliage vine around the band. The white bg was also embossed

Serendipity SSCB #25 – Shaped Cards

Posted on December 4, 2013 12:01 AM by Julie 7 Comments

Welcome to a new challenge for Serendipity Stamps! The Serendipity Challenge this week is a Shaped Card.

I went with a snow globe shape for my little shaker card. The wonderful winter scene was stamped and colored with Copics then I added stickles to the snow for some sparkle and white dots to the sky for falling snow. While that was drying, I die cut a snow globe out of silver card stock and a larger circle to go with it. I used another size circle to cut a piece of acetate for the front. It is big enough to fit between the smaller and larger silver circles so the edges will be covered. For fun, I die cut a snowy border die out of white then snipped off a bunch of the snowflakes and sandwiched them between the layers.

I traced around the snow globe shape on my folded white card and fussy cut it in the same shape. After cutting the scene into a circle, I elevated the acetate layers, making sure it had silicone sealant all the way around, then added some tiny silver beads and round silver confetti (not too much..I didn’t want it cover up the scene) before sealing them together. A silver string and bow were added to the top. So it’s a card…it’s a snow globe…it’s a shaker ornament to hang on the tree! These are the Copics I used to color the scene.
