Welcome to July!  And it’s time for the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club July  Christmas Challenge! We have a year of new Christmas Challenges!  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. Hint..I’m really loving the new theme for this year.

For my very glittery card, I die cut this beautiful poinsettia once out of white glitter & once out of gold glitter. I did some shaping on them before gluing it all together. I used more white glitter card to cut out the square behind it & added some Christmas paper that had gold glitter berries on it. The greeting was gold embossed & more of the paper was used for the large layer. This really was an easy-ish card & I like the neutral colors w/ all the glitter.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC812) we’re going to a Surfboard Art Pinterest Board where I found THIS beautiful surfboard. I really liked the colors & rays coming down from the center.

For my card, I went w/ a slimline since it had a long layout, like the surfboard. I die cut the white & placed the sunburst stencil over the lower half of it & sponged the lt green & teal inks thru it. For the darker edges, I used a very small make up brush to go along the edges. I die cut a couple of angled borders, sponged one w/ the same inks & added them over the top where the stenciling ended. The beautiful daisies were half die cut, half fussy cut & attached to a white oval w/ a scalloped teal oval behind it. The greeting was simple white embossed onto black.

And these are the Copics I used:

It’s my pleasure to host the Featured Stamper Challenge this week. So a big congrats to Sandi, the newest Featured Stamper (FS750)! Sandi has the most amazing gallery & it was hard to chose just one, but I finally went w/ THIS card for my case. I kept the white banded bg die & floral theme, but I used different images & dies, different colors & made mine a slimline card.

For my birthday card, I die cut the white diagonal bg die & cut a long piece of butter yellow card to go behind it. On this yellow piece, I sponged some red & orange inks then used a stencil to add a bit more visual texture. The poppies were colored w/ Copics & half die cut/half fussy cut & popped up a little on top of the white bg. The greeting was white embossed on black.

Here are the Copics I used on the poppies:
