Serendipity Stamps Blog

It’s been ages since I’ve posted and I’m so sorry!   But good news!   Serendipity has new stamps!   Head on over to check them out and check back here next week for some new designs from the SS Design Team!

Congratulations to Velta Wesson!   You won the random drawing from our Customer Postcard Challenge!   Velta gets a free QCL sized cling set of her choice.   Thanks for entering Velta and here’s the pretty postcard you sent.   She used our cling set 712QCL – Adirondak Chair.   You can check out Velta’s blog at http://www.impressionsbyv.blogspot.com/

 Watch for my next post to see what our next Customer Challenge will be.  

I know, I know – the last quickie sale has been on the website for a month!    But this one won’t – it’ll be gone Monday Feb. 8th.   So what’s on sale you ask?  Our Heart Deco Cling set – 979QCL is 50% off – just $7.48.    This image is a great one for 3D layering!  Check out the cards below the set.

The card below was made by Sue Eldred using the Heart Deco image from 969QCL as well as 554E Be My Valentine.

The card below was made by Carolyn Hurst using the Heart Deco image from 969QCL  and 556E Hugs and Kisses.

I thought I was done with posting Valentine cards, but I got two more wonderful cards that you really need to see!   This first one was created by Sue Eldred using 1159E Retro Owl and 688C Happy Valentine’s Day.   

And just below is a card made by Jennifer Woodward using 419E Heart with You Are Always.

These last two cards in our Valentine extravaganza show how to really make your love POP!   The first card is a gorgeous card created by Kathie Bailey for the Gingersnap Creations blog Embossing Powder Challenge.  She used 418QCL Victorian Heart Cling set and 319D Happy Valentine’s Day.   The second was created by Anya Schrier for the same challenge using the 184E Valentine Postoid and 1079D Will You Be Mine.   Check out their blogs, listed at the right for more information.

Here are two pretty cards from  Lynda Benden.  She created the first  card using 693QCL Heart Topiary Cling Set (also sold individually) and the second card using 422G Heart w/ Bow.  Lynda has such an eye for detail – notice the embsooing in the background and the tiny pearls (on the tree and gems (in the corners)?  

Amy Cokley made this card using 1153QCL Kitchen Tools Cling Set (which you can purchase as individual cling stamps if you prefer).   We introduced this stamp last summer, and it never dawned on me to make a Valentine’s Day card out of it until I saw Amy’s card done up in pink!  

Look at these beautiful cards – both created using  837G Love Scroll Large .  This same image comes in a small size and it’s on the dollar sale right now – 838C Love Scroll Small.  These images give a lovely, elegant effect with no effort at all.  The first card is designed by Anya Schrier and the second by Kathie Bailey.   See their blogs, listed at the right, for more details.

I have a bunch of great Valentine cards from the Serendipity Stamps Design Team!   Not a lot of blab – just some great designs!  I’ll post a couple of new ones each day.

First, we have a great pair of cards made by Jennifer Woodward using 973QCL – the Heart Quilt Cling Set and also 832E Calico Background.  Individual stamps in the set are 973H Heart Quilt, 972E Where There Is No Love, 756D Wire Heart (now on the $ sale!)

This is such a beautiful card!  Jennifer Woodward made it using 419E Heart W/ You Are Always, which comes indivually or in the cling set 419QCL with a coordinating stamp, 420E Heart W/ Happy Valentines.   Both of these heart stamps coordinate with the McGill Super Giant Heart Punch.  Stamp the image, punch out the heart, leaving the words on the background.  Check out Jennifer Woodward’s blog for more information.  Be sure to scroll down further to see Amy Cokleys fun, and bright Heart “Ornament”!
