Serendipity Stamps Blog Hop!

Posted on January 29, 2014 12:01 AM by Julie 23 Comments

Welcome to the Serendipity Blog Hop! We are show casing some fabulous new dies over the next 3 days and Hoppers have until Feb 5 to leave a comment! Winners will be posted on Feb 7. Blog candy is hidden – meaning the winner will be chosen at random from one of our DT blogs. Be sure to leave a comment on each blog so you’ll be in the random drawing. The prize will be $10 discount code each day of the hop!

If you came here from Mary’s Blog (Serendipity Challenge Blog), you are in the right place. If not you might want to start there so you won’t miss a thing!

Today we are introducing this wonderful Shamrock die! Don’t you love the Celtic knot work in the shamrock petals? I die cut the shamrock out of some recycled box panels. I loved the dk green color and it is really heavy weight, but the die handled it with no problem. I also die cut a couple more shamrocks out of plain card stock and stacked them together w/ the green one on top for some extra dimension. It’s attached to a die cut circle of textured aqua and I die cut larger circles on the top layers of mossy green and patterned dp. The dp was also die cut on the lower edge w/ a curved die and I attached a strip of white die cut w/ a coordinating curved border. The greeting was stamped on an angle in the lower right corner with green ink. I outlined the letters w/ a dark green Micron pen and added shading and sparkle with a Stardust pen. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Welcome to the North Coast Creations Blog Hop!

This first card was die cut using a Spellbinders classic oval. I did a little Out of the Box Nestie technique on it, left it in the die and colored it with Copics. The sentiment from ODBD Daffodil Tag set, was stamped on the yellow check dp and die cut using a banner die from Spellbinders. The fence was punched from white card stock and the grass and flowers were die cut. I added a few punched clouds and butterflies to complete my 4.25 x 5.50 card.

For this card, I used the same Out of the Box Nestie technique and a Labels 18 die. Rosco is colored with Copics and while the die was still in place, I sponged a little lt green ink around the edges. The green background was also cut w/ a labels 18, attached to a larger white rectangle then embossed. I used a white gel pen to add a little faux stitching. This card is 5.50 x 4.25.

Hatful of Shamrocks

Posted on February 27, 2012 4:58 AM by Julie 5 Comments

For my shamrock card, I used a mega oval die and the Out of the Box Nestie technique to cut out the image. I stamped some extra shamrocks and popped them up on top of the originals. Another mega oval was cut out of the sky blue c/s and I attached it behind and down from the image oval. Some little Swarovski crystals were added in the shamrock centers.

I used a Quickutz scallop border to die cut the striped dp and added it down the left side. The sentiment from the image was stamped separately, punched w/ a leaf punch and attached to a die cut round tag. The tag is attached to the scallop strip w/ some twine.

And these are the Tombow markers I used to color the image and a look at my workbook.
