Serendipity SSCB#50 pt 2 – Tag It!

Posted on December 23, 2015 12:00 AM by Julie 2 Comments

The paper on the left was die cut using one of the smaller matting basics then I used a pierced rectangle on it. The rectangles were not the same size so I had to move it around & do 2 sides at a time to get the piercing on it. I added a couple of strips of metallic gold on either side & then strip of another pattern of the same paper on the right of them. The large white bg was die cut w/ the largest pierced rectangle & I gold embossed the Merry Merry down the side.

Here’s the inside using some left over pieces. The Merry Merry was stamped repeatedly on the white piece using Brilliance gold.

Serendipity SSCB#50 – Tag It!

Welcome to the December Challenge for Serendipity Stamps!
This month the challenge it’s Tag 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. Each month a different image will be 50% off. This month- it’s the Large Cupcake. Be sure to check out the great deals on the Clearance Stamps! And mini grab bags are back! 5 cling stamps/$1, 5 sticky cushion stamps/$1 or 10 UM stamps/$1. And as always, we have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player.

Since the challenge is tags, I started with a couple of large manilla tags I’ve had in my stash for a loooooong time. I’m surprised I was even able to find them! After locating my craft sheet, I made a bunch of tags using Distress inks & a mister by smooshing some red & pink inks for the red tag, and different green inks for the green tag, then spritzing them w/ water & pressing the tag to the inked craft sheet. Each shade of color was done separately & I used a heat gun to dry them in between colors. As an extra something, I smooshed a Brilliance galaxy gold ink pad to the sheet then pressed the tags onto it.

The red tag was also stamped with the And the Angel Said multiple times using barn door ink before the die cut gold angel & Joy were attached on top.

For the green tag, I placed the tag into my Misti, stamped the Pine Swag w/ Memento then used a white chalk marker on the wood & some Copics on the pine branches. I over stamped it w/ Versafine then stamped the ribbon part onto another red tag and the pine cones onto a gold tag & fussy cut them. After the Merry was added, I used a glitter gold gel pen to outline it and around the wood rectangle. A gold Krylon pen was used to edge both tags & I also added some sequins & twine to both.

This month- it’s the Large Cupcake. Be sure to check out the great deals on the Clearance Stamps!

For my Christmas card, I started with a background I made on water color paper. I used some Distress Ink pads, smooshed them onto a kraft sheet, spritzed w/ a little water, then pressed the water color paper to it. I did one color at a time & dried it w/ a heat gun, then did the next color. This keeps the colors from running together & becoming muddy. When I finished, I die cut the layers & added the grape card stock in between. The angel, greeting & very narrow layer around the center panel were die cut out of white glitter card stock. I also die cut another 2 angels & 1 greeting out of a darker purple to shadow them.

On the inside, I stamped the And the Angel Said, die cut it, then edged it w/ a purple Permapaque marker. I went over the edging & a little more w/ a Wink of Stella. I discovered the Wink of Stella made a little of the purple run so I used it to drag a little purple in toward the greeting. I also used it to add a little color to the white angel die cut.

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – (inside – And the Angel Said)

Paper: water color, grape, dk purple, white glitter (DCWV matstack)

Ink: Distress Inks in dusty concord, shaded lilac, tumbled glass, mermaid lagoon, ( Versafine sepia- inside)
