I didn’t get Kathie Bailey’s shaped card into yesterday’s post until it went out to the subscribers so I posting it again so no one misses it!   What a clever card!   Kathie used several Serendipity Stamps images to create piles of gifts around the base of her Christmas Tree!  Here are some of the ones she used:  Merry Christmas, Train Engine Small, Baseball Glove and Bat, Bicycle,  and the Present Border.

Last week’s Serendipity Stamps Design Team Challenge was to create cards with a shape other than a square or rectangle.   Here’s what they came up with.

Amy Cokley made this card using our Turkey 800K image.   She embossed the card back with a wood grain.

Miriam Napier created her card using our Heart W/ Roses 421G image.

Anya Schrier used the Scarecrow Boy 799H for her card.   She also used Festive Fall 1225D, which is on the 25 cent sale right now!

Jenny Gropp made her card using our Bayleaf Wreath Large 935K image and Happy Holidays

Sue Eldred made her card for last year’s challenge, but it’s always been one of my very favorite cards so I thought I’d show it again.  She used Crystal Snowflake 938E and Snowflake Flourish Lg 1196G for her mitten card.

Kathie Bailey’s card is so clever!   She used several Serendipity Stamps images to create piles of gifts around the base of her Christmas Tree!  Here are some of the ones she used:  Merry Christmas, Train Engine Small, Baseball Glove and Bat, Bicycle, and the Present Border.
