Serendipity Christmas Card




 Welcome to the first ever Serendipity Challenge Blog that everyone can play!
There will be a special badge for the entry we love and a separate random drawing for $20 off your next order of Serendipity Stamps.  Mary will be offering Free shipping
 specials this week for all  US orders of $10 or more valid December 5-12, 2012 Cant beat that! Nice way to get started with these detailed stamps. I know some of you have already ordered , now you get free shipping.


 Anya Schrier (  will be re-joining next month) did all the gorgeous graphics for the new challenge blog. I love the look …great job Anya! It makes me happy just to look at it.  Jeanne Jachna , I think did everything else. She has been a huge help to me as I am new to the Serendipity Stamps Design Team. I think Jeanne and Anya put a lot of work (love)  into this. 
Thank You!

The challenge is twice a month. This month  the challenge is to make a honeycomb / accordion card. Very easy! Use a die cut shape, to make it full... use more . Fold in half and glue.  Fold back  down for mailing. Jeanne has a link on her blog for a tutorial you might want to try.
This first challenge you may use any die you like, but it must include one Serendipity Stamp. You have 2 weeks to play.  Hope to see you all give it a try. You will love the detail on the Serendipity Stamps. This  Merry Christmas stamp is so elegant! You cant see it... but its embossed so its shinny.

  4. What a great way to start off a new challenge blog, with a fantastic card like this! Electronic die cutters are great for a lot of things, but detailed dies like this one are just not one of those things.
