Serendipity Stamps Blog Hop



Hello and welcome to the hop! Serendipity has some new and adorable dies. Today we are featuring the Shamrock Die. This is the first of three dies. 



I stamped the top panels with Mistletoe  from Serendipity Stamps. See how nice and flat this card is… 



It pops open to this! 


Originally I saw this box card HERE . That lead me to a tutorial It's a lot of work at first but once you get the hang of it you can make this for anything! I already had my post finished and when I saw this last week I wanted to add it to this hop post.
Cant wait to make one with balloons.
Look at all the detail on this shamrock. 

This is what it looked like before I added the dark shamrock, I think it's a bit more light and airy.

I stamped the inside of this card with Serendipity Stamps



  I love shaker cards and they seem to be everywhere.   I used foam tape and on top of the layer of clear cardstock,  added the outer layer of the die  that is now an inlay on top of the cut out. Dose that make sense? To make my background paper I stamped Summer Flower Background  a few times.

You should have arrived from Karen Amidon’s blog.

  12. OMG! You win Marybeth! Drop dead crazy gorgeous good! That's as good as it gets in my book! A MAZE ING! Not just one interactive project but two! I like the one with the dark shamrock - it weighs it down and anchors it. So clever to use the mistletoe too - that is official your stamp. You make it look better than I've ever seen it so many times!

  14. Wow! You've outdone yourself Marybeth! I can tell this was a lot of work - sort of like the owl trifold card I did for my granddaughter. But isn't it wonderful to be able to make something fun like this for them? I'm going to have to try it.
