SSCB # 15 Postage Stamp Inspired


For this challenge we were asked get our inspiration from Here




 Mary of Serendipity Stamp generously sent me the entire Floral Alphabet Cling Set I love this set! I have used it for a very fast banner that I needed and only colored the letters , its large enough to fit on some of the large banner dies I have. 

Well, for this card I colored the letter then added some Glossy Accents…love that stuff! The Butterfly is stamped then cut out , I added a bit of foam tape to pop it up and then some G.A. As you can see this was pretty fast and easy to make ( my kind of card)
I hope you find some time to make a card, all you need is one product from Serendipity Stamps on your card.

The sale this time is free shipping on continental US orders $20

  2. What a wonderful card. And, how fun to be inspired by a postage stamp. I think the US Stamps have some fabulous designs. Very cool that you have the postage spellbinders die, too. I like how you put your initial on it, and popped up the butterfly.

  6. This is so you, Marybeth, neat and sweet in every way! What an amazing monogram set. And you showcased it perfectly. Thank you for the heads up on blog following, I so appreciate ALL tips! Granddaughters with us this week, was not a good time to take a class! Up at dawn to get some stamping in! Did not know you were a designer for this co., but makes perfect sense, your quiet elegant style spotlights each detail and possibility. Love the quickies too, just don't do them well, or often! Blessings!

  7. I was really checking this out to see how you got that M to stand out so much Marybeth...glossy accents, great idea! This is really striking with the M in the bold green color and all those stitched squares really make for a beautiful card.
