Serendipity Stamps sponsors a challenge twice a month. Its a great place to play and see creative ways to use your stamps. You might even win $20 off you next order at Serendipity Stamps. The challenge this time is to create a tri shutter card. I've seen these around in blog land and I have to tell you they looked mighty complicated to me. I have to admit it was really quite easy - and image how impressed your recipient will be. There are lots of tutorials on line, but I got mine here at Splitcoaststampers. They are my go to for all things stampy that I haven't tried yet.
Here's a close up of the sentiment on the inside.
If you need a little more inspiration check out what the rest of the design team made for this challenge. And please welcome Karen Amidon - our newest member!
I hope you will give this challenge a chance - maybe you will be like me and learn a new trick. And before I forget ... everyone is a winner because the sale this week (Sept. 11-18) is free shipping on all continental US orders of $10 or more. If you've been spying up that new bird die - now's your chance!

Love this beautiful orange card......so pretty with the round doily and pretty flower. Love the "American Toast " semtiment. Gorgeous with the chevron paper.
ReplyDeleteLovely card Jeanne. The stamp of the mums is the perfect compliment to your papers. I really like the beautiful sentiment too. :-)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, look at that beautiful trade-mark orange! This card is a stunner...not exaggerating at all either! I love that it is a complicated tri-fold card, but all of the orange patterned papers blend and your eye goes right to the beautiful flowers...perfectly colors! I really like how you added the doily and cut the edge off...a neat touch I know I would not have thought of.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Jeanne, Wowsers!
ReplyDeleteOh Jeanne I love this card! Especially now that my pots of flowers have all been burnt to a crisp by our heat wave. Time to go buy Chrysanthemums! I love the chevrons and other angular patterns set against the swirls of the flowers. Great job!
ReplyDeleteJeanne...wow this is simply one amazing card. I love it and that orange, wow, stunning!
ReplyDeleteThe colors look awesome! Love how you used the different patterns and how everything really focuses on those gorgeous flowers. Super sweet sentiment too!
