A big congrats to Shirl, the newest Featured Stamper (FS761) on Splitcoast. She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & wreath, but used different images & dies & changed the colors up a bit.

For my Thanksgiving card, I die cut the layered pumpkins out of a few colors of rusty orange & the pumpkin vines & leaves out of a couple of shades of green. A needle piercing tool was used on the leaves to give them veins & I popped up a couple of the layers on the pumpkins to give them depth. I arranged them all on a die cut white ring then attached it to a square & layered it onto a rust square. The greeting was made out of two clear sets & stamped below. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC822) this week.  We’re headed to Not on the High Street & their Pinterest Boards where I found THIS picture. 

For my card, I die cut a narrow gold circle then used a smaller one to cut out the inside. The 2 different holly dies were used w/ 2 different colors of metallic gold card stock. Some gold cord was wrapped around the circle, tied in a bow & the loose ends wound around the outside of the circle. The greeting was gold embossed below then the holly added on the simple wreath.

A big congrats to my friend, Robin, the newest Featured Stamper on Splitcoast! Robin has a fabulous, colorful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the lattice looking bg & floral theme, but used different images & dies, and stenciled the bg & added a lattice die cut on top. I also used the purple/orange color combo because I know it’s one of Robin’s favorite combos.

On my card, I colored & die cut the flowers & vines from 2 different (but similar) floral sets. On the bg, I used a leaf stencil & some purple & blue inks for the sponging. A die cut white lattice was popped up just a hint on top of the bg w/ the vine intertwined & some flowers popped up on top. I added back one of the diamond shaped cut outs into the lattice w/ the short greeting stamped on top.


Here are the Copics I used for the flowers:
