A big congrats to Kathy, the newest Featured Stamper (FS782) on Splitcoast! She has a really big, wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the floral theme & lattice, but I used different images & dies, & also made mine a mini slimline.
For my thank you card, I knew I wanted to an area to stamp my greeting w/o having to add another panel, so I cut the bottom section by only partially covering the die w/ the top plate, cutting that far, then moving the plate to the top section & repeating this process. I used a craft knife to finish any partially cut strips above & below the solid band. I added 2 pieces of cardboard, die cut w/ the same die, underneath the lattice panel to elevate it a bit. On the panel underneath, I stamped the wildflowers in different colors of ink & also stamped a couple extra ones on a separate piece & fussy cut them. I sponged some yellow inks coming in from the upper left. After I attached the lattice, I inserted the 2 fussy cut branches in & out of the lattice, stamped the greeting & added some gems.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC843), we’re visiting Natural Life & their Pinterest Board. I chose THIS picture for my inspiration.
For my mini slimline card, I die cut two kraft panels using the new Stitched Mini Slimline set for one & the new Mini Slimline Quilted cover plate for the other. On the lower panel, I used 1 part of a 2 part spin around flower stencil, first stenciling w/ white pigment ink, heat setting it, then shifting the stencil slightly & sponging w/ a few colors of pinks/reds. I then used an angled border die to cut them, put a pale pink panel behind the top one, added the scallop white border, then put them together. I die cut a bunch of flowers & added them around the stenciled ones & added gems to the centers of the stenciled flowers. The Friend die cut is triple stacked, using white, pink & kraft.

A big congrats to Ardyth, the newest Featured Stamper (FS781)! She has such a fabulous gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the mini slimline & geometric pattern, but used different images & dies & used a stencil for my pattern instead of a die cut.
For my CAS mini slimline card, I used a wonderful geometric stencil & a bunch of Color Fuse inks to sponge the colors. The stencil is a 6″ square so it wasn’t quite tac enough. I sponged in the colors as far as I could, then moved the stencil up, finding the area that matched & finished the top section. I used one of the dk turquoise inks for the stamped part of the greeting, attached it w/ temporary adhesive, then put the mini slimline die back on the die cut stencil panel & ran it thru again, to get the matched edges on the greeting strip.Before I attached it permanently, I slid two narrow turquoise strips along the top & bottom edges. The die cut Happy was double stacked w/ the pale rose & white, & the shadow was cut out of turquoise.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
