It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast (IC900) & I chose a really fun site w/ lots of ideas..The Refab Diaries & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture. I thought the bright colors & hodgepodge of items would be perfect for the image I wanted to use.

After stamping & coloring this party image, I fussy cut it (actually pretty easy since it’s just a rounded outline). I popped it up just a bit on a mini slimline bg & backed it w/ a piece of polka dot paper. The banner was stamped separately, fussy cut & popped up on the original banner area. For this greeting & the large Happy & Birthday words, I used a combo of Versaclair Glamorous & Purple Delight, stamping one then the other on top of it,  to get the right color to match the paper (the Misti is essential for this). After I die the words, I used the leftover part as a reverse mask & stenciled in the pinkish shadow.

You can see the finished Happy at the top & the reverse mask/stencil of Birthday at the bottom.

Here the stenciling/sponging is finished.

I placed the stamped, die cut words slightly offset to allow the shadow to show behind them.


Here are the Copics I used for the image:

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge on Splitcoast (FS837)! So a big congrats to Pam! She has such a big, wonderful gallery. I didn’t have to go far to find THIS fun card. I kept the cute animals and slimline layout, but used bears instead of pups & made mine a birthday card. 

My slimline birthday card was really easy. I used a new, heavyweight paper pad that has all the images already colored plus the coordinating paper to go w/ them. I die cut all the cute bears, balloons & presents w/ the matching dies then die cut the circles bg paper & the slimline layers.


It was super simple to just arrange them & stamp the greeting above the presents. There is also a matching die for the birthday greeting, which I love.

I die cut some blank bears, balloons & presents & glued them underneath to add a little height to the images.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC898), we’re visiting Velvet & Linen and their Pinterest Board where I found THESE lovely glass bottles.

My colorful little owls were all colored in happy colors & die cut w/ their matching dies, as were the balloons. The banner was fussy cut & popped up just in the middle. The card is a mini slimline & I used a regular slimline die for the purple panel & made it shorter by cutting it mid way then moving up the opposite end of the die & cutting the rest. A mini slimline circle inset was used for the triple windows.

I used 2 patterns of the new Party Time paper: one w/ colorful dots to go behind the owl windows & a second w/ the birthday words for the background. The little pink owl was also popped up.
