    Well the MIX challenge on Splitcoast sounded really interesting so I thought I’d give it a go. I totally messed up the first little Merry I did because I was impatient w/ the stylus part. Apparently patience is not my strong suit. On the second try, I bypassed the stylus part entirely. After die cutting 3 sets of the MERRY letters and gluing them together then onto a strip of c/s I sprayed it w/ adhesive and put my foil over it.

    Here’s the fun part…I put it on my embossing mat and ran it thru the Sizzix. That’s a real time saver! And it worked better than me w/ the stylus. Instead of paint, I used some red Copics to color around the letters. Then I sprayed another piece of c/s, attached another piece of foil and die cut it w/ the viney background. Feels funny to not have used any stamps or inks 🙂

  • Serendipity SSCB #23 – Paper Scraps

    Welcome to a new challenge for  Serendipity Stamps! The Serendipity Challenge this week is Paper Scraps…make a project and use up some of those paper scraps you have! 

    For my scrap buster card, I used a whole bunch of little card stock strips..some plain, some embossed. I always have these little strips left when I trim images and I’m pretty well known for saving everything, lol. I’ve made these type of strip backgrounds before, so I dug out some Christmas colors of these strips and stuck them onto a piece of sticker paper. Originally it was 4 x 5.25, but it looked a bit too busy so I cut it down to about 2 x 5 and attached it to left side of my 4.25 x 5.50 card.

    After stamping the tree image on white, I also stamped it a few times on some designer paper scraps and paper pieced them onto the base image. I added just a little color w/ Copics and die cut it. One of the Merrys was stamped on a scrap of white and I used a smaller Labels 17 to cut the right side of it.

  • Thanksgiving Pumpkin

    Happy ist Day of November! Can you believe it’s already November? For today’s Free For All Challenge (F4A193) on Splitcoast, the subject is Falling Fruit. So I checked just to be certain and a pumpkin is a fruit, so there you go! This is a pretty easy card…I stamped the pumpkin w/ sunflowers twice (so I could cut out an extra sunflower), and colored them w/ Copics. Originally I was going to cut out the entire pumpkin, but I changed my mind and only cut out the left side. I embossed the right side w/ a rectangle die and die cut the white frame to put on top. I had the rusty brown strip left over so I put it behind and I liked the way it showed thru the cut out part. The greeting was stamped on the 5.50 x 4.25 card front and I was all done!

    These are the Copics I used:
