A big Congrats to Lora, the newest Featured Stamper (FS666) on Splitcoast! She has sweet  gallery & there were a lot of different snowmen cards, but I was mostly influenced by THIS card. I kept the group of snowmen & similar horizontal layout, but I used different images & dies, different colors & moved the greeting.

After stamping, coloring & die cutting the snowmen, I also die cut a pine green frame to go on top & a red scallop frame to go underneath. The greeting is good size so I only used the top half, die cut it then cut a slit to insert the corner of the image inside. I just love that little bunny on the right, attempting to eat the carrot.

Here are the Copics I used.

Welcome to November & to the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club November Christmas Challenge! 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 card, after stamping, coloring & die cutting the cute image, I sponged just a little tumbled glass in the upper left corner then used a snowflake frame, white ink & some transparent glitter powder to emboss the snowflakes. On the back panel, I used broken china & a little shaded lilac in addition to the tumbled glass to sponge about 2/3 of the bg. Then I put it into my Misti, used white ink on the top, going to a darker blue at the bottom & used the same sparkly powder. The greeting was white embossed & I used the sparkly powder to emboss the die cut blue snowflake.

Here are the Copics I used.

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC724), I was inspired by THIS picture. I really liked the white deer w/ the wreaths around their necks.

For my card, I die cut the deer & stitched hills out of white, the holly & other branches out of green & berries out of red. The wreaths started out as two green rings I made by using some circle punches then I added some pieces of greenery to complete the wreaths. After I put the scene together, I added some Stickles to the berries & snow hills.
