It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS780), so a big congrats to Marilyn! She has a big, beautiful gallery but it didn’t take me long to zoom in on THIS card. I loved the hot pink & the off center circle, so I kept that. I used different images & dies & instead of all die cut flowers, I used a layered stamp set of flowers & made mine a mini slimline.

For my card, I die cut the hot pink layer & used a lg circle die to cut out the top center. A smaller circle die was used to cut the lg circle into a smaller one then I filled the opening w/ a die cut black circle. After stamping & die cutting several of the flower branches, I made a few cuts into the branches so I could curve them around the circle. The Hello was die cut twice out of black & stacked, then again in white & stacked offset.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Welcome to January 2022!  And it’s time for the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club January Christmas Challenge! You’ll need to be Fan Club member but that’s easy…just click the blue link to find out how. Thank you, Stacy, my friend, for 10 yrs of wonderful challenges! We’re all sad to see you go, & since this will also be my last on this challenge, I wanted to make sure to honor you.

I chose a non-Christmas card to case..Big Blooms 4 by Twinshappy at Splitcoaststampers lovely card of yours. The angle is such a great detail, so I kept it. I did move the greeting to the main panel & left off the embossing. I used the Color Fuse inks to stamp some pinecones, greenery & berries in the lower left corner & a few extra that I die cut w/ the matching dies. I used the long edge of the stitched border die to cut the corner off then added a scallop edge underneath it. The extra images were popped up above the angled cut.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC822) this week.  We’re headed to Not on the High Street & their Pinterest Boards where I found THIS picture. 

For my card, I die cut a narrow gold circle then used a smaller one to cut out the inside. The 2 different holly dies were used w/ 2 different colors of metallic gold card stock. Some gold cord was wrapped around the circle, tied in a bow & the loose ends wound around the outside of the circle. The greeting was gold embossed below then the holly added on the simple wreath.
