The Best

A big congrats to Pat, the newest Featured Stamper (FS744) on Splitcoast! She has a lovely gallery & there were many I wanted to pick, but I went w/ THIS card for my case. I kept the CAS layout & split die cut, but used different stamps & dies & used a colorful panel & narrow frames behind & around my die cuts.

For my card, I used an inside slimline die for my linear panel, but instead of cutting from both ends, I cut 2 slits & inserted the die under it. I took a couple of pics to show you. On this pic, I penciled in a little wider than the die & used a Kraft knife to cut the 2 horizontal slits.

Now I positioned the die on top of the first section of the card, but under the band I created, then on top of the bottom section, as shown.

Instead of a solid color, I used a colorful leftover strip I made by using drops of dye reinkers on glossy paper then blowing thru a straw to make the inks move. I added partial cobalt blue frames around the die cuts because I thought it looked more finished this way.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC805) we’re headed to Pinterest Board where I was inspired by THIS picture. The color, sparkly glitter & sequins really caught my eye.

My card was really quick & easy. I pulled out 3 colors of dox inks & streaked them down the die cut white panel. Then I heat embossed, 1 color at a time, 3 different colors of glittery embossing powder. If the oxide inks were a little too dry after the first time embossing, I added a little Versamark over the top to finish the other 2 colors. The greeting was stamped & embossed w/ the darkest glitter powder (Desert Jewel) then a slightly larger teal circle was added underneath. Some sequins in different teals & greens were added to finish. This card REALLY has the sparkle going on!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC804) this week & we’re headed to Nina Cloak &/0r their Pinterest Board. There were so many lovely patterns on their items, but I really liked the split negative look of THIS dress.

After stamping, coloring & die cutting the flowers, I die cut the white & black bgs w/ the rect stitch dies. Then I stacked them & die cut the stitched hills diagonally; I cut them at the same time in order to have them match exactly. Then I split them apart a bit & added a strip of lavender in between. To compensate for this spread, after putting the panels together, I used the rectangle die again, matching up the stitch lines across the top & bottom. This could have been done all in one step, by putting the panels together first, then die cutting the whole thing. But I didn’t think of adding the lavender strip until after I’d cut them the first time. Doesn’t it always seem to work out that way? But I’ll remember it next time!

Here are the Copics I used:
