Posted on January 30, 2014 12:01 AM by Julie 21 Comments

Welcome to the Serendipity Blog Hop! We are show casing some fabulous new dies over these 3 days and Hoppers have until Feb 5 to leave a comment! Winners will be posted on Feb 7. Blog candy is hidden – meaning the winner will be chosen at random from one of our DT blogs. Be sure to leave a comment on each blog so you’ll be in the random drawing. The prize will be $10 discount code each day of the hop!

If you came here from Mary’s Blog (Serendipity Challenge Blog), you are in the right place. If not you might want to start there so you won’t miss a thing!

Just in time for Easter, we have this beautiful new bunny die! Isn’t it adorable? And so detailed with the scored lines and flower cuts. I die cut it out of white, then embossed it only on a piece of mint green textured card stock and fussy cut it out to place underneath the white die cut. I also die cut a white solid heart and the scroll heart die. On the scroll heart, I used mint green Copic markers to color it to match the other papers.

After die cutting two layers using the labels 2, I stamped the tiny flower on the top of the large white background and added a strip of dotted paper on the bottom. The greeting was stamped and die cut with a circle die and the larger circle was colored with the same mint green Copic to match.

BEST OF 2013 (x3!)

A big congrats to Lesley aka Lionsmane, the Featured Stamper on Splitcoast (FS321)! What a fab gallery she has! There were many I wanted to case, and I finally chose her Pink Cat Baby Card. I kept the general layout but moved things a bit, the soft colors and embossed background. I used different images, different embossing folder and added some punched and colored flowers.

The images are from DRS Designs. I stamped the lovely umbrella twice, added some soft shading w/ Copic markers and cut both out. I used a stylus to add some shape and dimension to the top umbrella and attached it on the base umbrella w/ a little foam tape underneath the center. The narrow little ribbon bow was also colored w/ Copics before attaching.

The background was embossed and I punched a bunch of different sized hydrangea petals out, added a little shading and tiny black dots in the centers, then used the stylus to curl the petals a bit. The sentiment was die cut along w/ the pale pink backing oval to finish my 4.25 x 5.50 card.

Congrats again, Lesley, enjoy your week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

For my first card, I stamped the chick once on white and the flower bonnet again on polka dot paper. After coloring the chick with Copics, I die cut it using a Spellbinders Labels 18 and a larger label out of the reverse side of the polka dot paper. The cut out bonnet was attached on top. The larger white background was embossed and the sentiment was stamped and I used a partial circle die cut for it. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.
