    Congrats to Gerry, the newest Featured Stamper (FS827) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept most of the colors, the southwest theme & layout, but I used different dies and made mine a Christmas card.

    I started my card by masking a large circle for the moon, and another for the sky area then sponged in the colors for the ground. After reversing the mask, I sponged in the sky colors. The arbor and 2 portions of the fence were die cut out of white along w/ the longhorn skull. The wagon wheel and cowboy hat were die cut out of Kraft and sponged w/ brown inks. I used green for the wreath and cactus dies. After arranging and attaching all the dies, I stamped the curved greeting on the right,

  • Peeking Snowmies


    We are visiting The Spirit of Christmas for the Inspiration Challenge (IC888) where I found THIS cute ornament for my inspiration.

    I really liked the 2 little ones peeking over the stairs at the Christmas tree, so I looked around to see what I could use to recreate the scene. I used 2 little peeking snowmen & constructed the staircase out of some strips of white & a fence die. The background is a diamond lattice die that I filled in part of the top w/ the designer paper. The red diamonds are the reverse side of the print. The tree was colored and fussy cut, the presents were all die cut along w/ the tiny ornaments & bows on the stair case.



    These are the Copics I used:

  • Joy Tree


    A big congrats to Pat, the newest Featured Stamper (FS826) on Splitcoast. She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout w/ the split panel, but used different dies, slightly different colors & instead of a split negative I elected to add a gray shadow layer under the white on the white panel.

    On my card, I used a piece of dk grey designer paper w/ little images instead of the black panel Pat used. I die cut the tree & snow out of white then added a grey shadow layer under the white on the white side panel. The random dots were stamped w/ a lt grey ink & I added a cardinal & 2 ornaments on the tree. The die cut Joy was added above the rest of the stamped greeting. all in all, a fairly quick CAS Christmas card.

    Thanks so much for stopping  by!
