Welcome to July!  And it’s time for the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club July  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.

For my very glittery card, I die cut this beautiful poinsettia once out of white glitter & once out of gold glitter. I did some shaping on them before gluing it all together. I used more white glitter card to cut out the square behind it & added some Christmas paper that had gold glitter berries on it. The greeting was gold embossed & more of the paper was used for the large layer. This really was an easy-ish card & I like the neutral colors w/ all the glitter.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC811), we’re headed to Bella Ella &/or their Pinterest Board where I found THIS dress.

For my mostly monochromatic card, I used a layered floral set of stamps w/ a couple of gray inks, but I didn’t use the first layer, which puts an all over layer of color down. I wanted that to just be the white of the paper. I used 1 lt gray & & med gray for the other 2 layers & the final outline was stamped w/ black. The centers were stamped w/ a hot pink & I also added some hot pink stickles on top. 

On the lt gray textured strip, I used the leaf part of a 2 part stencil. The first group of leaves were stenciled w/ gray & the second group were stenciled w/ the picket fence white ink. I used a herringbone embossing folder on the darker gray & added a narrow strip of hot pin to the edge. A few clear sequins in different sizes finish it off.

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge, we’re headed to a Pinterest Board full of entertainment & tabletop displays, where I found THIS picture of colorful cupcakes.


For my cupcake card, I stamped & die cut one cupcake & also die cut some extra cupcakes to use as masks. The masks are a tad bigger than the stamped cupcake but it really won’t matter..I simply stamped the center cupcake, then placed the mask close to the left side line & stamped the cupcake on the left. Then I moved the mask to the right side & stamped the cupcake on the right. I’ll mention, if you try this, you will need 3 masks minimum for when you get to the row behind the front one. I also used the reverse mask..the part left when I die cut the cupcake masks. I used the reverse mask around the stamped cupcakes to sponge in most of the color on my cupcakes. (Please see picture below.)

After sponging on the color, I used Copics to add a little more color & depth then popped up the one cut out cupcake on top of the central one. Two colors of turquoise frames were added & a little stickles, a few sequins & a cherry on top.

Here are the Copics I used:
