Congrats to Nancy, the newest Featured Stamper (FS670) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the angular layout w/ the decoration but I used different images, dies, colors & made mine a Christmas card. 

My card is pretty simple & didn’t take much time. I put the winter words bg into my Misti, then stamped w/ white ink & white embossed it. Then you know, put it back into the Misti & rinse, repeat as the shampoo instructions go. (Do we really NEED instructions on shampoo??) Anyway, the top white layer was die cut & I turned a double stitch rectangle on an angle & cut out the V. Die cut all the poinsettia petals, glued them together & added half of the greeting.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

This is for 2 challenges on Splitcoast, the Color (CC766), red, green & brown, & the Ways to Use It (WT767), use kraft. This will also go to one of our relatives still living in Texas. I usually make at least 1 Texas  or western theme Christmas card every year. 

My card is pretty CAS (clean & simple). I stamped the boot image, masked it, then stamped it again to make a pair. The greeting is actually a combo of two different ones. For the Santa hat, I stamped & colored it on a scrap & fussy cut it.  The red panel was embossed to add a little texture & a piece of holly I had left over was added in the corner.

Here’s the inside & also the Copics I used. The greeting here is perfect for a Texan. Anyone who’s ever met a Texan knows we’re always ‘fixin’ to do something.

For the Color Challenge (CC765) on Splitcoast, the colors are a dk red, dk green & a lt green. I thought these colors were perfect for these cute elf shoes.

My card is fairly CAS, the only thing slightly tricky I did was to rearrange the feet a bit on the center one. I made a mask first & put them where I wanted, removed the right one & stamped the left. It left some blanks where I wanted them. Then I stamped the left one. The other pairs of shoes were stamped on either side then everything was colored. 

The top envelope flap shaped panel was die cut along w/ a red patterned paper border, then I stamped part of the fairly large greeting (there is more on top & underneath, but I masked these off w/ scotch tape).

Here are the Copics I used.
