Serendipity Stamps - December Blog Hop #2





Welcome to the last Blog Hop of the year for Serendipity Stamps!
Today I have a lovely NOEL die highlighted.  This card was one of
the projects I taught in my recent Christmas Card class.  The NOEL 
die was the perfect sentiment for the chipboard circle on my card.



Here is a closeup of how the die is popped up from the center of the
circle.  I used tiny slivers of foam tape behind parts of the letters
to give it support.  I glued several of the NOEL die cuts together
to make it a little thick and easier to work with.


Inside I used the sentiment from the FOR UNTO US stamp set.
I just love the font!  Finished size is 4 1/4" square.



Also from the FOR UNTO US stamp set is this cute Nativity
scene and KING sentiment.  They are colored with Chameleon
colored pencils and the tag is a Bo Bunny die.
It is 4 1/4" tall.
