Welcome to April & to the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club April 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 Christmas Wishes card, I used an embossing folder on the white bg, then paper pieced some strips for a faux woven bg. I used part of a box of Christmas cards I bought that are supposed to have a picture inserted so the entire back is 5×7 piece of this heavy weight Christmas print w/ little red foil accents. After I glued them, I embossed it all again.  The rest was just die cutting the holly out of green glitter card, the Wishes & backing oval out of red glitter card, then attaching a red foil frame over the bg. 

Here’s the inside.

Congrats to the newest Featured Stamper on Splitcoast (FS634)! I chose THIS to case. I kept the layout & the greeting in the center, but I used a different greeting & made my background instead of using designer paper.
I stamped the pretty feathers, colored them & fussy cut them. The  greeting was stamped on a fancy label & attached to a larger, dk green panel. For the bg, I brayered the inside of a feather embossing folder then embossed a piece of a white card stock. I actually did both sides..the other side was mostly white w/ colored feathers. I liked this side better, so there you go.

Here’s a look at the inside.

It’s my turn & my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS628) so a big congrats to Heejung, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a marvelous gallery that’s growing daily. I chose THIS card to case. I really liked the multidirectional images in black on the kraft bg & white greeting on black  so I kept those. But I used different images, different dies & used words on my bg instead of images.

For my coffee until wine girl, I used the Coffee word from 3 different greetings & stamped them multidirectional across the kraft panel. I used a white Prismacolor pencil to add a little punch to the words. The lady was stamped, colored & die cut using the matching die & added to a circular bg. The greeting was split up to fit the black strip & white embossed. I didn’t have an arrow type image like Heejung did below the greeting, so I used a piece of black & white ribbon.

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