    Weekly-FavoriteWelcome to a new challenge for Serendipity Stamps! The Serendipity Challenge this week is a Tri-Shutter Card!  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. And this week’s sale will be free shipping on any US order of $10 or more… offer good Sept  11-18. I’m also adding this to the Splitcoast Ways to Use It Challenge (WT444)…use designer paper!
    For my Tri-Shutter card, I used this sweet Snowman w/ Birds image. After coloring him with Copics, I die cut him using my out of the box Nestie technique. I added a lt blue die cut layer then attached him to the front section of my tri-shutter card. The purple piece was die cut w/ a fancy snow border. I didn’t use other papers on the sections to the right of him, because I liked the way all the white space showed him off.

    I added narrow sections of different patterned papers on the open sections. On the far right right panel, I added a long pennant flag with the sentiment and the snowflake on top. I added a couple of the same snowflake on the panels facing the sentiment, but so sorry…I didn’t take a pic to show it!

    After finishing, I added just a little stickles to a few areas of the snowman. If you’d like the template for this Tri-Shutter card, it can be found HERE.  These are the Copics I used to color everything.

    On my Christmas card, I die cut the beautiful bird in white and traced around the die on red and fussy cut it to attach behind the white die cut version. The sentiment was stamped on white and I used a bracket border die to cut the bottom. I used another die from the border set to cut the red layer beneath it. A red snowflake and some red and clear crystals were added to finish my 5.50 x 4.25 card.

    For my non-Christmas card, I went with a sympathy card. After stamping the sentiment on the lower section, I die cut the dove above it. I used some blue-green Copics to color the die cut bird then used  the ink spots image to add the dots on the bird and also on the light blue layer. The stamped die cut bird was then added back into the empty die cut space. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

    A big Congrats to Gabby (Gabalot), the Featured Stamper on Splitcoast (FS342)! She has a big, beautiful gallery and I chose THIS card to case. I liked the borders on top and bottom so I kept the layout and the red and white (& added green) colors, but I turned it, used different images and made mine a Christmas card.

    The images are from DRS Designs. After stamping the string of lights across the top, I used a Spellbinders bracket border die to cut the bottom in 3 sections. I attached two stamped plaid sections, one red & one green, together and added the cut off borders on top. The greeting and lamp post were fussy cut and attached to my 5.50 4.25 card.
