Simply

Thanks!


Serendipity's Second project for December was to create a simple thank you card for after Christmas!

My finished card size is 4"x3". I stamped the thank you with Serendipity 559E Horizontal Thank You II. Embossed it with silver embossing powder, and then accented it with a red pen. I then tore a strip off the bottom and inked it in red. The final touch was wrapping a ribbon around the top and tying a bow!

Thanks for checking out my final project of the year now on to the other Design Team blogs:

An apple a day...

...keeps the winter blues away...
I can totally see this with a little worm coming out of it, or as a caramel apple!

Tiny Turtle I made for Jac it's sitting on his head so you get an idea of size.

And looking my best here, but this is the super cute hat I made myself.. hoping you'll notice the hat and not my appearance!

Merry Months

For our challenge this time we each needed to pick a different month stamp to use. I chose February because well it's my birthday month! And I chose red, cream, and black which is one of my favorite color combos!


For a different look I stamped with a glue pad and covered the image in flocking, it gives it such a warm fuzzy feeling!


Supplies:
^Serendipity Stamps February (586F)
^Card base finished size 4 1/2" x 4 1/2"
^Cardstock in black, and cream
^Red and cream patterned paper
^Glue pad
^Red Flocking
^Black pen
^Corner punch
^Red gems
^Black ribbon

Directions:
~Cover card in black cardstock, layer red and cream paper on top. Add ribbon down the middle.
~Stamp image with glue pad, and cover with flocking. Cut out image, use corner punch and mat on black cardstock.
~Adhere to center of card, and add red gems to corners, and add dimension with black pen.
~Tie a bow out of same ribbon and attach below stamped image!


On to our other designers for the month,
I can't wait to see what they came up with!
