Serendipity Stamps - JULY Blog Hop #2

Welcome to the second HOP this month for Serendipity Stamps!
I took some time off hopping because I moved and had to 
set up my new craft room.  It seemed to take forever!

You should have arrived here from Marybeth Lopez's blog.

I used Serendipity's WELCOME & BABY 
dies on my first card.
I also used Alexandra Renke's Giraffe paper 
for all my cards today.

Inside my card is just more of the darling Renke paper.  

Finished size is 8 x 4 1/4.

Card 2 is a shaker with yellow, orange, grey and white sequins inside.

Inside card 2 is more Renke paper.

Finished size is 4 1/2" square.

Card 3 started out as an A-2 but I resized it for a better design.

The cool background is an Altenew Embossing die.

Welcome wee one is from the Serendipity stamps set 

Uplifting Words.  Finished size is 4 1/2" x 5 1/4"

Inside is just a little sweet sentiment stamped with Distress Oxide

Worn Lipstick, like the booties on the front.

Finished size is 5 1/4 x 4 1/8".

showing more samples for the latest challenge and we have a blog hop. 
The hops are to show you what's new at Serendipity Stamps and to

I attempted to make a mobile-like card with the cute

Little Critters Dies and the new Speech Bubble stamp.

As you can see from the above close up, the animals hang free

from the card.  They can move around just like they were

hanging from a mobile. I glued the thread in between 

2 layers of each animal and ornament.

Inside my card I glued some more die cut animals and a balloon.

Finished size is 4 x 4.

I made 2 baby cards and tied the tiny bows onto a salad fork!  

It was the only thing I had that would make such tiny bows.  

They measure about 3/8".

Light blue for the baby boys.....

Medium pink for the baby girls (its much lighter in person!)

The finished size is 3 3/4" square.

Serendipity Stamps - MARCH Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Serendipity Stamps March Blog Hop!!  We have a bunch of new products to show you!  I have made a BABY card with the darling new baby bootie dies shown on the banner above.

You should have arrived here from our Guest Hopper:

Anya Schrier

This adorable baby bootie has a cut out die and a solid die to layer behind it.  

Makes for an easy 2 color bootie!

Here is a close-up of the bootie. 
 On the backside I used a stylus to push the blue paper through the holes of the peach layer.  
It makes it look like the 2 papers are embedded.  
I just love that there is a separate bow die for on top!

I just had to use the new curved Congratulations die inside my card.  
There is just enough room inside to write a short note.

If you comment on the blogs by Sunday, March 15 you'll be eligible for a PRIZE of a $20 gift certificate! It will be awarded to one commenter that is randomly selected from all the blogs!   
The winner will be announced on Mary's blog on Monday, March 16.
