Serendipity Stamps - Introducing Mr. Who!

I'm so happy to be sharing a new die with you today from Serendipity Stamps.  The design team is having a little blog hop to celebrate the release of this owl that Mary (the owner of Serendipity) has informally dubbed "Mr. Who".  He is absolutely adorable and lots of fun to work with.  I know you have lots you want to see so I will keep this short.   I made one "fussy card" with layers  of different patterned papers.  Of course I had to add some gems for big glowing eyes!  I double cut the owl and inlaid the dark chocolate pieces inside the kraft cut out.  

OK now for a little CAS - these cards were so easy I made a whole set in different colors.

For my second project I made a card from white card stock.  Next I trimmed slightly smaller colored card stock panel and attached it to the card.  Then I trimmed a slightly smaller piece of white card stock for the front of my card, stamped the sentiment, cut out the owl die shape and then ran it through my die cut machine with a wood embossing plate and attached it to the card base.  To finish it off I attached the die cut owl and added some gems for eyes.  I just recently discovered the Sakura Quickie Glue Pen - - it works exactly like their Jelly Roll pens but instead of ink it leaves a line of glue that sticks wet or dry.  It is great for tiny intricate areas and worked really well with this die.

Here's a list of all the DT members who are playing along today - please make sure you leave comments on all the blogs you visit.  One random commenter  will receive a $10 discount off their next Serendipity Stamps order!  You have until Oct. 20 to leave a comment - winner will be posted on Oct. 21 on Mary's blog.
