Serendipity July Blog Hop #1!

Posted on July 3, 2018 11:31 PM by Julie 18 Comments

Welcome to the July #1 Blog Hop for Serendipity Stamps! And Happy 4th of July!

To make my clean & simple card, I put the circular greeting into my Misti, stamped it, colored in the letter then over stamped it. I die cut the 1 line of the square cut out die then cut the black strips & colored the rainbow colors behind the openings. The little sun & clouds were die cut & a few sequins added.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

My card today is on the very CAS side of things. Don’t let that fool you..I’m sure it takes longer for me to do CAS than to do a “normal” card. For the most part, I have trouble w/ CAS. The images are really cute but I need more practice w/ these type of images. The hearts were stamped on the linen bg & I thought it needed more so I outlined them w/ a glue pen & sprinkled on some glitter. For the Love word, I sponged Distress inks from left to right then stamped & glittered it. I found a piece of patterned paper just the right size & colors so I used it to back the white & to die cut the swirly.

Here’s a look at the inside.

For my sympathy card, I die cut the 2 turquoise panels, put the larger one into my Misti & stamped the Flower Corner & Leaf. Just a little white pencil was added in areas then I lined up the smaller turquoise panel & stamped the bottom part only of the same Flower Corner & also the Tiny Flower . I added a narrow black mat under the horizontal panel & a portion of the Daisy Border die. A small black bow & a few rhinestones finished it.

Here’s a look at the inside.
