SERENDIPITY STAMPS BLOG HOP!

BIRTHDAY AND STRIPES

Welcome to Serendipity Stamps Blog Hop...our first for the new year!
Before we get started with all the hop info, remember we still have the monthly challenge going on. You still have plenty of time to get your entry in. The theme for the January challenge is Stripes. All the details for this can be found on the SSCB. 

Are you hopping with us? We are showing the latest products along with a few favorites! Leave comments as you go because one lucky winner will be chosen at random from the blogs to receive a $20 gift certificate from Serendipity Stamps.

We are very excited about the new Party Balloon Die! 
The full die cut is being showed in this card. I've added the Bird die cut and have stamped Happy Birthday in Razzle Berry ink.

CARD INSIDE

For the inside I have used one of the balloons from the Party Balloon die cut.
Happy and Day is shadowed by off setting one of the die cuts.


I had several balloon cuts left over that I ran through an embossing folder.
Happy Birthday has been stamped in the same Razzle Berry ink and I have used the candle die from the Cupcake set.

 Party Background 50% OFF
This special will run through the end of the month
FREE shipping on all US orders of $15 or more good January 20-24

    From the colours, to the patterned paper choices, to the inlaying, to the designs (both inside and out), your cards truly are infused with celebration! Wonderful showcases of the new release!

    I love the way you have inlaid the balloons in different patterns and colours and then added the balloons with the pretty candles and papers on the second. So pretty! x

    Terrific re-piecing of the die... is that balloon with the bow puffy, or is it an optical illusion? It's terrific! Love the offset shadow on the inside sentiment, too!
