Welcome to August!  And it’s time for the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club August  Christmas Challenge! We have a year of new Christmas Challenges!  You’ll need to be Fan Club member but that’s easy…just click the blue link to find out how. Bet you’re wondering what the challenge theme is..I’d love to tell you but you’ll have to go see for yourself. Hint..I’m really loving the new theme for this year.

I’m also combing this w/ the Featured Stamper Challenge since they fall on the same day. So a big congrats to Jan! She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the red & white Christmas theme, but used different images & dies, turned mine vertical & made it a slimline.

For my card, I die cut the slimline Geometric X in white..it’s normally a 3 panel design, but I cut off & used just the one. The pinecones & holly were colored & die cut & the pine boughs were fussy cut & attached to a piece of white glitter card. The greeting was stamped & I put all the red & white layers together.

Here are the Copics I used:

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC817) we’re going to ShopBop where I found THIS picture.

For my CAS card, I put the flowers image into my Misti & stamped it w/ a few of shades of blue. The stems were inked w/ a couple of shades of green. I used a yellow for the centers & later added some orange stickles on top. For a little contrast, I sponged in some yellow inks from the top left & green from the bottom right. The blue bg was embossed w/ a mesh folder & I rubbed the white ink over the top of it.

A big congrats to Karen, the newest Featured Stamper (FS755) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the floral theme but used different stamps, dies & colors. I also changed the layout a bit.

For my thank you card, I stamped the layered flowers using the Color Fuse inks then die cut the white panel using my out of the box technique & a slimline die for the flower on the left. The black layer was die cut w/ a larger die & attached behind. The greeting was white embossed & I added a line of pearls as embellishments.
