Welcome to another Serendipity Stamps Blog Hop!

Welcome to Serendipity's 2nd HOP for February!
You should have arrived here from Beth Chiu's blog.
Today I'm showcasing one of Mary's new sentiment stamps!
Awhile ago I was working on an all blue card and I wished I had
the sentiment, "I'm BLUE without you". So, I asked Mary
to create one and she did!
I used 2 colors of Distress Oxide inks for the sentimentMiriamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06731700937099530743noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467170492761724947.post-85410224262474380212018-02-07T00:00:00.000-05:002018-02-19T16:39:00.632-05:00Serendipity Stamps - February Blog Hop #1
Welcome to Serendipity's 1st Blog Hop for February!
I've made 2 lip balm holders with Serendipity's stamps and dies.
The first one uses the Shamrock die and the Make a Wish stamp.
My 2nd one has the cute heart die and Love Inside stamp.
I used red alcohol inks on glossy paper for the red scroll heart die.
Using inked paper prevents it from looking so Miriamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06731700937099530743noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467170492761724947.post-87888832526974204012018-01-18T00:00:00.000-05:002018-01-18T00:00:12.560-05:00MFT Super Girl!
What happens when you combine a Super Girl, Copics and
Distress Oxide Inks? Some really fun color combinations!
For this first card I matched my Copic Markers
with Fossilized Amber, Peacock Feathers, Faded Jeans and
Black Soot for the background.
Used Distress Oxides on the inside too. I love them
for sentiments. They stamp opaque and sharp!

Welcome to Serendipity's 2nd hop of 2018. Mary gave us
the theme of "Anything Goes" so I pulled out my Oxide inks
and this great Mill stamp.
When you have a beautiful detailed stamp like this one you
can stamp it on a pretty background and you have a card!
Lately I've been using Bristol Smooth paper for my Oxide
backgrounds and I love it! Makes for smooth and Miriamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06731700937099530743noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467170492761724947.post-38316124173867913172018-01-03T08:43:00.001-05:002018-01-15T17:56:38.562-05:00Serendipity Stamps - January Blog Hop #1!

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 Miriamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06731700937099530743noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467170492761724947.post-10645194589249567842017-12-14T00:00:00.000-05:002017-12-14T00:00:08.737-05:00MFT Sketch Challenge - 363 Happy Pawlidays
My Favorite Things has a great Sketch Challenge this week!
It is a simple format that will work with most any image.

Lately I've been into cross stitching using both Paper Smooches
and My Favorite Things cross stitched dies. This one is
Paper Smooches which is bigger than MFT's.
I used Distress Oxide Inks to do the trees and sentiment.
Inside I did the sentiment in the ombre style by stamping the

This week I decided to enter the My Favorite Things Color Challenge.
The color scheme wasn't Christmas but I decided to go that
way anyway. I'm addicted to cross stitching lately and found this
cute image on Pinterest.
I outlined the image in grey so it wouldn't be as harsh
as black. The sentiment is stamped in grey as well.
