Serendipity Stamps December Design Team Challenges!

Time for my December Serendipity Stamps Projects! One Easter project and one Valentines project. We'll start with Valentines day! Isn't this stamp just gorgeous? It's so intricate and stamps so perfectly! Around the edge it says you are Always in my heart (stamp # 419E)! And I had a great time converting a pattern for Christmas ornaments into Valentines day because who says ornaments are only for Christmas? I think I'll be making plenty more of these!

And for my Easter project a shaker card! I stamped the eggs (stamp# 685M) on Shrink plastic, colored them with Copic markers then shrunk them! Added them with some seed beads to the shaker on the front and waa laa a card with movement!

Beautiful Butterflies!

I just picked up these butterfly pictures yesterday! And I happened to have these very lovely butterfly stamps from Serendipity and boy did they go together nicely! I used a sketch from November Becky Higgins! I made the background paper myself and I don't know if you can tell but the stamped butterflies look like they are flying! Enjoy a bit of summer for the cold winter!

Shaped Cards
Here is the card I made for this months Serendipity Challenge: Shaped Cards!
I just love this stamp set, I've always wanted a goat, and I think this is as close as I'm going to get! The supplies I used are listed below! I think the one thing that made this card extra special was adding the raffia to look like real hay sticking out of his mouth!

Supplies:
Goat Cling Set Serendipity Stamps (1152QCL)
Green Cardstock ( I used garden green Close To My Heart)
White Cardstock
Green Ink ( I used garden green CTMH)
Brown ink (I used Chocolate CTMH)
Small hole punch or thumb tack
Raffia

Directions:
1. Cut a card base from the green to 6 1/2” x 4 1/4” and fold in half.
2. Cut a piece of white cardstock to 1 1/4” x 3” stamp the What was I thinking sentiment on this piece in green ink. Ink around the edges and lightly across the front with brown ink.
3. Stamp goat on white cardstock with brown ink, trim around the image.
4. Attach goat to back of sentiment towards the right side. Center the whole thing on the cardbase. Trim around the goats head with about a 1/4” border. Do not trim the sentiment to the left or your card will not stay together.
5. Using small hole punch or thumb tack make holes on each side of goats mouth where you can see the straw hanging out of his mouth on the stamp. Make sure to only punch through the top layer of the card. Place a small amount of adhesive on the inside between the holes, and thread the raffia through so the ends stick out the front. Trim ends to your liking.

Another batch of cards!

I've been stamping again! This deer card is one I made for my Dear Ole Dad's birthday! I think he'll be very happy with the big buck on it!

Isn't this little kitty just the cutest! Someone will be meowy happy to get him for Easter!

I love bling, but not so much after making this card...I stuck each and every one of those little rhinestones by hand! uggh! Pretty but a ton of work!

And this one is my favorite of all four! I am so in love with this little Serendipity Ducky! On this card I stamped and colored the image... then stamped it again and colored the flower! I cut it apart and put it on with foam tape in different levels! It really makes the flower pop!
