Serendipity SSCB#45 – Monochrome!

Posted on July 8, 2015 12:00 AM by Julie 9 Comments

^{x 3}

Welcome to the July Challenge for Serendipity Stamps! This month the challenge is Monochrome..pick one color & use it. 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 Winter Doe. Be sure to check out the great deals on the Clearance Stamps, too. And as always, we have a have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player.

For my card, the color I chose is a blue/gray. I wanted to use this wonderful rowboat & dock image & was looking thru some backgrounds I’ve made at various times when I came across a stack of Christmas card fronts I had saved. This little river w/ the snowy banks just seemed perfect for my boat. After I stamped it & colored w/ Copics I used the same into the window technique I posted last week HERE. Then I die cut the outer frame and stamped part of the greeting in the lower right. The top loop of the F went into the picture so I took a white gel pen and went over that loop to make it stand out.

The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used:

Today’s Technique Challenge (TLC541) asked us to recycle a greeting card. So funny because I just did this last week for a post on this coming Wednesday! Are they spying on me?? Since I can’t show that one just yet, I dug thru some more greeting cards and came across a very pretty white card that had dry embossing of mountains & an ivory shimmer embossing of little flowers at the bottom. And it also opened with another dry embossed layer behind it. So I cut those down and stacked them for the white portion of my card.

For the rest of my card, I heat embossed the pretty flowers, fussy cut them and attached them on top. I die cut a large metal shimmer layer of dark green card stock to put behind the white & heat embossed the greeting using a white pearl powder. The seam ribbon was colored w/ Copics to match & I sprinkled a few green gems around for interest.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Paper: Neenah white, recycled card, metallic shimmer evergreen

Serendipity SSCB#37 – Thankful pt 2!

Posted on November 19, 2014 12:00 AM by Julie 7 Comments

Welcome to the November Challenge for Serendipity Stamps! This month the challenge is appropriately…Things you are Thankful or Grateful pt 2! You can get all the details over on the Serendipity Challenge Blog. The DT has the added challenge of using a non-craft related item.. And as always, we have a have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player. The sale this week is Free Shipping on any US Order of $15 or more … good through Nov 26th.

For my Thanksgiving card, I stamped the beautiful Horn of Plenty, colored it with Copics, then die cut it. A gold, leaf border die cut square was added underneath before attaching to a large chocolate colored layer.

I used a Cheery Lynn Chrysanthemum die to make the white flower and a CL sunflower die on the yellow flower. I also used a CL fanciful flourish die. Embedded in my corner fall corsage arrangement, I have my non-craft item…the netting. It’s actually from a bag of lemons and I used an orange Copic to make the yellow a bit deeper. A little raffia tied in a loose bow adds the finishing touch. The tag was die cut and stamped with the Small Happy Thanksgiving and I used a Copic to color the border of it.
On the inside, I used a leftover narrow frame that I also colored w/ Copics, some leftover chrysanthemum petals and a band of the chocolate on which I stamped the small Maple Leaf.
As an extra non-craft item, I used my envelope punch board to make a sturdy envelope out of an old calendar page. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Please be sure to visit and comment on all the DT blogs so you’ll be entered to win!
