Welcome to March & to the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club March Christmas Challenge! I’m part of the challenge team again this year & the bonus is I’ll have a bunch of Christmas cards finished in plenty of time for Christmas this year. You’ll need to be Fan Club member but that’s easy…just click the blue link to find out how. Bet you’re wondering what the challenge theme is..I’d love to tell you but you’ll have to go see for yourself.

For my card, I used this cute little Reindeer image. After coloring & die cutting w/ the matching die, I put him on a tag die cut. I cut another tag out of white glitter & split it down the middle to have some show on either side. The Merry was die cut out of red glitter paper. I die cut two bows &  split the striped one to edge the white glitter one.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

We have a lovely site for the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC689) this week. And I was really taken with the items on THIS page. I really like the almost magical colors.

To make my fantasy scene, I stamped the different toadstools, masking a little here & there, then colored them. I did my out of the box along the top and added the panel w/ the colored tree slice behind it. The extra toadstool & little frog were fussy cut & added.  I thought a couple of dragonflies would fit in so I added those, as well.

The CAS Challenge (CAS520) features repetitive stamping. And since it’s still technically winter, I have a quick snowman card.

I stamped Mr. Flakey onto white, colored him then die cut. The greeting & snowflakes were stamped directly onto the card front. A turquoise frame was added along w/ a little stickles for sparkle. I can’t believe I stamped the greeting on the card front & it wasn’t a disaster. I hardly ever do that because..it’s just asking for trouble where I’m concerned.

Here’s the inside & the Copics I used.
