I made this for the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club October Christmas Challenge! I’ve been having so much fun being a part of the challenge this year & the bonus is I’ll have a bunch of Christmas cards finished in plenty of time for Christmas this year. You’ll need to be Fan Club member but that’s easy…just click the blue link to find out how.
For my Christmas card, I stamped & white embossed the Snowflake Package. I used a reverse mask around it then sponged on the tumbled glass & peacock feathers inks. A lipstick orange Copic was used to carefully fill in the bow & ribbon then I added a little Wink of Stella on top of the red. When I die cut it I did a little out of the box to keep the bow intact.
The large background is also emboss resist & I used some of the many snowflake images from the large bg stamp. I just cut the lg image apart so I could use the ones I wanted more easily. Only the first part of the greeting was used below the present so I put the rest on the inside.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

It’s my turn to host the Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS608) & I chose Chrissy, aka DanceswithHooves. She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept most of the layout but ended up changing most everything else. Different stamps, dies & colors.
My card started with a leftover background & already colored image (you can see the other one on THIS post). As I’ve probably mentioned, I apparently save everything, lol. I stamped the other little telephone multiple times across the leftover background then used a zigzag border die to cut the bottom & add the black piece. Since most everything else was already made, this was a really quick card.
Here’s a look at the inside & if you want the Copics I used, please click on the referenced green link above. Good thing I had that pic..no way I would have remembered what I used. And sadly, I think all of these images are discontinued but you can see the sets below.

Such a cool, outdoor site Anne chose for the Inspiration Challenge! I was inspired by THIS shirt & I thought it would make a good Halloween project for the idea I wanted to try.
A while ago, I saw a technique using a piece of burlap, stuck to styrofoam & using paint to stamp w/ it. I thought I could use it to make a cool mummy card. I found some wide burlap ribbon, used double sided tape to stick it to styrofoam then brushed it w/ combo of white & antique white paint before stamping it onto black card stock. I did this several times, leaving a spot to put the googlie eyes. The little mummy was stamped, colored & fussy cut before adding to a piece of white c/s. For the ivory piece, I used a stitched rectangle die to cut it, then angled the die to cut the right side into a point.
Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.
