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.

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps –Japanese Maple, Autumn Leaves

Paper: Neenah white, white textured, dp (Basic Grey – Indian summer)

Ink: Versafine onyx, Distress inks barn door, dried marigold, spiced marmalade, Colorbox frost white pigment

Candy Apple Fall

Posted on September 28, 2015 7:09 PM by Julie 3 Comments

Today’s Clean & Simple Challenge (CAS344) is all about apples. I started to use an apple trio image but when I spied this candle apple image, I chose it instead.

After stamping & coloring, I over stamped w/ Versafine, added the greeting then die cut w/ a pierced rectangle die. The leftover frame was die cut w/ a matting basic die, to even the edges, & it was embossed w/ the apple folder. The leaf was inked w/ the Distress inks, stamped, the matching outline leaf was stamped on top w/ the sepia ink & fussy cut.
These are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs- – Candy Apple, Open Leaf, Med. Silhouette Leaf, Happy Fall, Y’all

Paper: Neenah white

Ink: Memento- tuxedo black, Vesafine onyx & sepia, Distress ink scattered straw, barn door, mowed lawn (for the leaf)

Serendipity SSCB#47 pt 2- Backgrounds!

Posted on September 23, 2015 12:00 AM by Julie 5 Comments

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

Accessories: Serendipity Oak Leaf, Scallop Border, Leaf Pops dies, Spellbinders A2 matting basics A, oval, bracket border dies, stickles, hot glue gun, glitter, brayer
