A big congrats to Sue, the newest Featured Stamper (FS804) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery & after much browsing I chose THIS card to case. I kept the colorful spiky elements but made mine a slimline & changed it from Christmas to birthday.

For my card, I die cut the white front w/ a large stitched slimline die then used the new quilted cover piercing die on it. I made a frame for it by using the same stitched die & die cutting it again w/ the next smaller size. On a separate piece of white, I used Copics to color bands of color then placed it behind the quilted piece. I knew I wanted the spiky flowers on some of the circles, so I used a couple of circle punches (for centers) then lined the holes up w/ the center of the flower & die cut them. I also colored them w/ the same makers then added colored gems to these centers for a little sparkle.

The Birthday word was die cut out of some leftover watercolor paper & the shadow layer was cut out of white. I stamped the small Happy above it & added a med blue layer behind the panel.

It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC865) this week! We’re visiting Old Farmer’s Almanac & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS pretty picture.

I used the dies included in the Blessing Box for my tropical card. The palm trees, flamingo, beach chair, ground & Aloha were die cut twice..once out of purple & once out of pink & stacked. The frame was cut out of a lighter purple & I used a large oval die to cut out the center & I used a smaller oval to cut out the darker purple layer to put inside it.

The sunset scene behind it is a from the Sunset Skies slimline pad. All of the die cut elements were popped up for dimension.

It’s my turn to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS802) & a big congrats to Maggie! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the 3 windows & the sunny yellow & bright pink colors, but used different images & dies & made mine a slimline card w/ a stenciled bg.

For my summer card, I used a sunburst stencil & a couple of yellow inks to sponge in the sun rays. Since the stencil is a 6″square, I had to move it to cover the entire front. I used a reverse circle mask to sponge in the center of the sun. The penguins were stamped, colored & die cut then arranged on top of the blue waves I cut to go behind the yellow window frame. The greeting was stamped in the center window.

Here are the Copics I used:
