Merry Christmas! For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC786), we have a Pinterest Board of fabulous doors & I was inspired by THIS door. There are actually a bunch that had stained glass that I loved, so I kind of combined them w/ the green of my chosen door.

For my card, I colored the veined leaf bg (it reminds me of stained glass) & die cut the layers. I thought it needed a little something so I colored & fussy cut the flowers. The center green & black panel is popped up a bit w/ fun foam.

Here are the Copics. I had colored the background a while back so the Copics used are shown for both the bg & the flowers.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy Holidays!

It’s my honor to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC779) this week, & we are headed to Plaid Crafts where I chose THIS as my inspiration.

For my little turkey, I die cut the turkey & all the feathers, along w/ some leaves & pumpkins out of gold, rust, kraft, brown & olive card stock. I die cut 4 of the turkey bodies, because originally I was going 3D but found that it worked great instead of adding a lot of fun foam to elevate him & keep him from flattening out. I took some extra pics to show what it looks like. Two of the turkey bodies were scored down the middle & one was attached on either side of the front turkey, then a flat turkey body was attached to the back side. The feathers were scored w/ a piercing tool & half were attached to the back of the front turkey & half attached to the back turkey, giving it even more of a dimensional look.

This is the turkey front.

Here’s the bottom view, showing the the extra, scored turkey bodies attached to the front & back turkeys.

Here’s a side view, showing the feathers split between the front & back turkey bodies.

Another side view, showing where I added a pop dot to stabilize it. It’s really not necessary, as the folded side turkeys really help it keep its shape.


The white & rust colored ovals were die cut, the greeting added & attached to a die cut piece of designer paper.

A big congrats to Deb, the newest Featured Stamper (FS714) on Splitcoast! She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I liked the flowers w/ the smallish greeting on top so I kept those, but I used different images & dies, different colors & heat embossed the greeting.

For my card, I used blue & purple Color Fuse inks to stamp the 4 layer flowers then die cut them. The green inks were used on the 2 part leaves & the greeting was white embossed on a small black strip. The flowers were arranged w/ the top 2 popped up a little & the greeting popped up a little more.
