Serendipity SSCB#49 pt 2- Christmas or Holiday

Posted on November 25, 2015 12:00 AM by Julie 2 Comments

Welcome to the November Challenge for Serendipity Stamps! And Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in the US!

This month the challenge is to make a Christmas or Holiday card! 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 Skating Snowman. From 11/25 thru Sunday 11/29, Free Shipping on all US orders of $20 or more! Be sure to check out the great deals on the Clearance Stamps & sale stamps!And as always, we have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player.

Since my greeting is big & mentions sparkle, I made it the main focus & everything on the card is super sparkly! The greeting could really be used any time of year, but I made mine a Christmas card by adding the embossed ornament background & the ornaments & greeting on the inside. I was lucky enough to have some glittery embossing powder that matched exactly the very glittery card stock I used for the backing layers & bow on top & all the stamped images were heat embossed using it.

Here’s the inside. These ornaments were originally intended for the front, but it started looking crowded so I put them on the inside.

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Leave a Little Sparkle, Ornament Background, (inside – Have Yourself, Ornament Pops Outline, Ornament Pops Solid )

Paper: Neenah white, glitter dp (DCWV -Christmas Glitter stack)

Ink: Colorbox peacock pigment ink (Distress ink dusty concord on inside greeting)

ODBD October 1st Release Another Look!

Posted on October 23, 2015 7:58 AM by Julie 5 Comments

Today we’re taking another look at the Our Daily Bread designs Oct. 1 release! Aren’t the ornaments & sentiments beautiful? And the Flourished Alphabet can be used all year round! This is also for the Inspiration Challenge (IC516) & I chose THIS as my inspiration.

My card today features the Elegant Embellishments ornaments dies. This card is so sparkly with all the green glitter card stock & green glitter heat embossed greeting! I die cut the white layer w/ a matting basics die & the green glitter layer w/ the largest Flourished Star Pattern die. After determining the placement for the ornaments, I die cut the top left one in the white layer using the solid ornament die. I used this white backing for the ornament on the lower right. A snowflake ornament topper was die cut out of another piece of white & attached on top of the negative ornament on the left. The lower right ornament has a die cut topper out of the green glitter c/s. I also die cut a leafy border to drape across the top so my ornaments would have something to attach to & not appear as if they are floating in mid air.

After I inked the Joyeux Noel, I wiped off the ink on the letter J before heat embossing it w/ green glitter powder. I used a stamp positioner to stamp the Flourished letter J in its place. The Small Bow die was used to cut the 2 green glitter bows & I attached them on top of the ornaments.

Here’s a look at the inside using some leftover strips of the green glitter c/s. The greeting was heat embossed w/ with green glitter powder & the 2 side flourishes are cut outs from the Leafy Edged Border die cut on the front.

Supplies:

Stamps: ODBD –Christmas Tunes, Flourished Alphabet

Paper: Neenah white, green glitter c/s (Paper Studio Christmas glitter pad)

Ink: Encore evergreen pigment

Accessories: ODBD Elegant Embellishments, Flourished Star Pattern, Leafy Edged Border, Vintage Label, Small Bow dies, Spellbinders A2 matting basics A & B dies, green glitter embossing powder

Please be sure to visit all the DT blogs…they all have some wonderful inspirations using the Oct. 1 Release!

Serendipity SSCB#48 pt 2- What’s New?

Posted on October 21, 2015 12:00 AM by Julie 5 Comments

Welcome to the October Challenge for Serendipity Stamps! This month the challenge is What’s New (use your newest products)! 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 Wheel in Snow. Be sure to check out the great deals on the Clearance Stamps & sale stamps!And as always, we have a have a gift certificate up for grabs to a random player.

One of my somethings new is the image that happens to be 50% off this month! This is such a wonderful little winter/Christmas image…you don’t really even need to color it. Since I stamped it on textured paper, I used my Misti & Versafine & I stamped it twice to make sure it got into the crevices of the paper. With Versafine, I couldn’t use my Copics, so I used a couple of very pale blue/green Tombow (water based) markers. The greeting was stamped w/ barn door Distress ink before I added some dp layers & snowflake border die cut. I added stickles here & there on the snow & I used a red marker & red stickles to add some berries to the twigs.

Here’s a look at the inside.

Supplies:

Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – Wheel in Snow, Season’s Greetings

Paper: white textured, dp (red & aqua -Pebbles- Home for Christmas) dp (white wood -Glitz)

Ink: Versafine onyx, Distress ink barn door

Accessories: Spellbinders A2 matting basics A & B dies, Misti, Tombow markers to shade snow, snowflake border die (Darice). stickles, crystals

This lovely Maple Leaf is also new to me. I tried stamping it in a number of inks & colors, but still didn’t get the look I wanted until I white embossed it and sponged the colors onto the background. I die cut a white frame out of textured white, elevated it a bit & attached it to a layer of dp. A second maple leaf was fussy cut and added along w/ the greeting stamped underneath.
