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!

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,

Corporate Brains...

... taste best to the Corporate Zombie....


BRAINS.... BRAINS.... BRAINS!
More crochet amigurumi love here! And In honor of the only hard working corporate guy I really know I have christened this guy Mikey!

And for a moment of relief I've gotten a new book all about crochet food, so expect some of that in the near future!

Nothing says Thanksgiving like....

... the Vampire Queen Drusilla.



Drusilla turned out to be much easier than Xena... no little bikini to worry about, the only part that was longer was the hair. Since Xena sported the pony tail completely covering her head wasn't necessary, but it was for Dru. And in turn she has this great head of crazy thick hair.


Sorry the pictures are kinda cruddy, but Happy Thanksgiving from our house to yours!

Coasting along...

Coasters...
That is the second Serendipity Stamps project for this month!



This may be my first project that looks better in the photo than in real life. I had to get online and look up tutorials and find out what the best coloring choices were and I went with chalks, and I'm not super good with them.

Supplies:
Lemonade Picture Serendipity Stamp (989G)
Tile Coaster
Black Staz On ink
Chalks
Heat Tool
Oven

Directions:
1. Stamp image on tile with Staz on ink. Set with heat tool.
2. color in image with chalks.
3. Set oven to 300 degrees and bake tile for 20 minutes. Allow to cool in the oven.

Now many a website told me that baking the tile would set the ink and chalk permanently, well I can still run my finger over it and come away with color? And other sites said that sealing the tile is a bad idea because it loses it's ability to absorb moisture? Any ideas on that, I'd be happy to hear them!

Quake with fear....

...at the site of the Amazon another cutie from Creepy Cute Crochet.
I'm going to call her Xena.. man do I miss that show (insert Xena war cry here).
This little lady started off just like the ninjas.. body was easy peasy!
Then her little outfit... ughh took forever but she isn't naked. And then hair was super hard, but I concorquered.

Here she is hanging out in the jungle surrounded by scary animals of all sorts, but she remains calm!

And here is my little guy posing with his jungle creation. I think he did a great job!
