I made this for the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club November 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.
To make my cute little Christmas camper, I started by stamping, coloring, then masking it in order to stamp the tree on top. Originally this camper had a folding beach chair in front of it, but wiped the ink off of it before stamping, then added the fussy cut package in its place. I stamped the greeting then some snowflakes & dots in the bg then added a little stickles. I also drew the twine around the tree & added some torn, inked strips at the bottom for snow.
Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

The Clean & Simple Challenge (CAS505) is Trick or Treat! I have a really quick card. The background was in my stash, so I was already half way home.
I saw a greeting similar to this & thought hmmm..I can do that! It took a little finagling w/ the letters from a couple of word set dies, but I did it. Before I die cut the letters, I embossed them w/ a sparkly black powder. I did the same to part of the feather & the mask. The mask is actually a large mustache punch turned upside down, lol. I cut two holes for the eyes & it became a mask. I know..as if the skull wasn’t scary enough, now he’s got a mask. The black grid bg is a leftover from TLC235 Painted Grid where I took drywall mesh, put it on a brayer, rolled it thru white paint then onto the black card stock.
Here’s a look at the inside.

A big congrats to Adriana, the newest Featured Stamper (FS612) on Splitcoast! She has a really cute, fun gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept most of the colors & coffee theme, but I used different images & dies & turned my layout vertical.
After stamping & coloring the image, I added the greeting & a little stickles to the whipped cream. The rust panel was stamped w/ the lower part of a calendar grid & a little color added randomly. Just a narrow strip of teal was added under the top layer to help tie the colors together.
