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:

It’s my pleasure to host the Featured Stamper Challenge this week. So a big congrats to Sandi, the newest Featured Stamper (FS750)! Sandi has the most amazing gallery & it was hard to chose just one, but I finally went w/ THIS card for my case. I kept the white banded bg die & floral theme, but I used different images & dies, different colors & made mine a slimline card.

For my birthday card, I die cut the white diagonal bg die & cut a long piece of butter yellow card to go behind it. On this yellow piece, I sponged some red & orange inks then used a stencil to add a bit more visual texture. The poppies were colored w/ Copics & half die cut/half fussy cut & popped up a little on top of the white bg. The greeting was white embossed on black.

Here are the Copics I used on the poppies:

A big congrats to Jacqui, the newest Splitcoast Featured Stamper (FS748)! She has a fun gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the slimline layout & triple image arrangement. But I used different images, dies & colors.

All of the pirate/sea creatures were colored & die cut. The white panel was die cut & I cut a slightly larger cobalt blue panel & used a slightly smaller circle die to cut out the insides of the circles. I put the octopus inside a die cut submarine & added a palm tree on the right & just a hint of waves across the bottoms of the triple “portholes”.

Here are the Copics I used (I colored the whole pirate set, so there are a bunch!).
