It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS808) this week. So a big congrats to Kristin! She has a lovely, growing gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the window scene, but used images instead of dies, different colors & made mine a Christmas card. 

After stamping & die cutting my images, I used a snow stencil & some arctic blue ink to sponge in the background. I also added a little of the same stencil inside the window then added some stickles to the snowflakes.

Here are the Copics I used:

For the  Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC869), we’re visiting Garden Collage where I found THIS picture. The palm trees got me started on my Christmas card, but I replaced the van w/ Santa.

For my mini slimline card, I colored & die cut Santa & all the palm trees. On the background, I picked an area for the water then used the 2 blue-green inks and a wavy stencil. To get a little variation, I also sponged on a bit of white ink thru the stencil. The stitched hills were die cut & sponged w/ mocha ink then added for the sand. The lt blue ink & a cloud stencil was used in the sky area. The greeting was stamped, all the pieces attached & I added a couple of seagulls to finish it.

Here are the Copics I used. The first one was for Santa & the second was the palm trees.

A big congrats to Bonnie, the newest Featured Stamper (FS805) on Splitcoast! She has a fab gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the penguin in the frame, but used different images, dies & colors & changed it from Christmas to summer.

For my summer penguins card, after stamping, coloring & die cutting them, I die cut the new polaroid frame and used a separate piece behind it. On that, I used a wave & a cloud stencil to add some background, then added the die cut palm tree before attaching the penguins & frame. A little stickles was added to the ice cream & waves.

Sorry, I either misplaced or forgot to take the picture of the Copics I used.
