A big congrats to Dagmar, the newest Featured Stamper (FS766) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery & uses so many great techniques. I chose THIS card to case. I kept the winter scene inside the masked shape but used different images & dies & made my scene a little bigger.

For my scenic Christmas card, I die cut the large scallop circle & used the reverse mask to cover all but the area where the scene would be. I used a curved mask to cover the sky area & sponged in the water, then used the reverse part to mask the water & sponged in the sky, leaving a white area between the two. I cut a bunch of masks for the rocks, since mine were all individual stamps, & stamped in the rocks. I covered the rocks & water & stamped the different size trees along the rocks. I used the scallop shaped mask to cover the scene, then stamped the snowflakes w/ white ink & embossed w/ holographic powder (it’s a little hard to see). A white Posca pen was used to add ‘snow’ dots to the sponged scene & also a little stickles for sparkle.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A big congrats to Mickey, the newest Featured Stamper (FS765) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & scalloped layers in gradient colors, but I used different images, dies, different colors & left off the embossing.

For my fairly easy card, after coloring the baby elephant & balloons, I die cut them & added fun foam to the ellie & 1 balloon, & cardboard to 1 balloon. The gradually darker pink layers were cut w/ a wave die (which had the scallops I wanted), attached to an ivory layer then die cut. I didn’t stick the pink layers entirely down so they’d have a little lift like Mickey’s did. The greeting was stamped & some pink ribbon across the top, then the ellie & balloons. I separated a piece of black embroidery thread into 3 for the balloon strings & added a few pink gems.


Here are the Copics I used:

It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS763) this week, so a big congrats to Natalie! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I love the original so I kept it really similar. I used different images & dies, made my plaid w/ a stencil & left off the bling.


For the lg bg, I used a 2 part plaid stencil & Distress soot to make the plaid. The deer was die cut out of red & several more times in white. On the red, I stamped it w/ a vertical stripe bg the rotated 90 degrees & stamped again to get the gingham look. A white half scallop layer was added under the red greeting panel & some die cut snowflakes were added to the plaid bg. Since I didn’t have an outline die for the deer, I used the 3 white versions & offset them to get the white outline.
