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"


The HOP Prize is a $20 Serendipity Stamps 
Gift Certificate to a random commenter.
You can leave comments from today through Sunday
 and Mary will announce the winner on JULY 23.

Altenew Peony


Happy New Year!
A few weeks ago I made a few cards with Altenew's new stamp set, Beautiful Day.  I was inspired by cards made by their design team.
I just love peonies and pink ones especially but most of the cards I've made with Altenew's flower sets I've used pink ink.  So, I went with orange this time.


Inside I stamped the largest layer with the solid flower around the edges.
This card is on display at Impressive Ideas in Norcross, Georgia.


 For my second card I simply stamps the outline layer in black
on watercolor paper.  I used ZIG Clean Color markers to color
the image along with Tim Holtz's water brush.

Here's hoping you have a happy 2016 and find time to create!
