Posted on April 5, 2017 12:00 AM by Julie 18 Comments

Welcome to the April#1 Blog Hop for Serendipity Stamps!

If you arrived here from Miriam’s blog, you’re in the right place..if not, you may want to head over there first.

The Prize – One $20 gift code will go to one random commenter from the blogs. So be sure to visit all the blogs because you don’t know which one the winner will be drawn from. You have through Sunday April 9 to leave comments on the blogs for a chance to win. Mary will announce a winner on April 10 on her Blog. Each month a different image is 50% off. This month- it’s the Dogwood Branch! On the first & third Wednesdays of every month., we’ll be celebrating with a Blog Hop!

To make my Happy, happy birthday card, I die cut the white panel w/ the fabulous new Happy Background die. Wow! Does it ever make a birthday card attention grabbing & easy. I love that you can leave the big Happys in or push them out, like I did here to let some of the color of the bg paper show through. I stamped the Birthday onto a stitched flag w/ a navy ink & added a stacked die cut paper button for trim.

Here’s a look at the inside. Since the paper I used behind the white Happy panel on the front is double sided, I die cut out a rectangle from the card front so that the other side of the dp shows thru on the inside. I used that cut out of the card to stamp my inside greeting on.

Please be sure to comment on all the DT Blogs..it will be so appreciated & also increase your chances of winning!

The challenges on Monday at Splitcoast are TLC631 (no line coloring) & CAS422 (winged things). Hmm….I’m thinking maybe I should have just picked a floral to do the no line coloring. I’ve done it on ornaments & candy canes & it turned out fine, but this little missy was hard to do. Mainly because she’s so little & it’s hard to no line her & keep facial details.

Anyway, I no lined her by using desert sand ink, colored her, then masked her & stamped the butterfly w/ lt blue & colored it. Without having this in my Misti, it would have been impossible. Since the ink is the same color as the Copics I was using, I had to stamp her several times while coloring just to find the edges again. I was so impressed by Nancy Williams card Here & the floor she drew that I added a drawn floor. The curtains were dry embossed, cut out & added on top.

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

This Little Piggy…

Posted on March 13, 2017 11:02 AM by Julie 1 Comment

…went to a Party! In fact, all 5 little piggies went to the party! Today’s Clean & Simple (CAS420) Challenge asks up to use some string or an image w/ a string. Every little piggy has a balloon w/ a string, so there you go.

My easy card is pretty self explanatory 🙂 Party Hat Pig was die cut w/ an oval & all his little piggy friends were stamped, masking as I went & their balloons are from a little balloon punch. The balloons were punched out of white & I colored them & drew the little strings w/ a fine black pen. I will mention a little trick I use when I need more than one mask of an image. Stamp the image several (or more) times onto your thin paper. Hold them up to the light to line them up, then cut them out all at once. When they’re stacked like this, you only have to cut one to have multiple masks. I also save them in a baggy for future use.

Here are the Copics I used. Whoda thunk it took so many?

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!
