A big congrats to Amy, the newest Featured Stamper on Splitcoast! She has a big, beautiful gallery and I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout and winter theme, but used different images, dies and colors.

For my card, I colored, die cut & popped up the snowman before adding him to a stitched oval. The greeting was silver embossed on a purple rectangle & all the little snowflakes were also die cut. Stickles was added to his hat & the center of the snowflakes.

The paper is from a wonderful Rubbernecker paper pad called Wintery Woodlands. I didn’t have a narrow blue ribbon to put on top of the silver edged ribbon, so I used a Copic to color the white ribbon a smoky blue.

Here are the Copics I used:

A big congrats to Cheryl, the newest Featured Stamper (FS807) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept most of the colors & trio of images, but I rearranged them, turned mine vertical & made it a Christmas card.

After stamping, coloring & die cutting the cute snowmen, I die cut the sm polaroid frames & backed them w/ red or green. The snowflakes were stamped w/ white ink before the snowmen were added. A greeting circle was added along w/ some holly on the frames.

My friend, Jean, on the Splitcoast Technique Lovers Challenge team, asked me to make a sample for today’s TLC877 Challenge. She picked a technique I did a tutorial for 10 years ago! You can see the tutorial HERE on Splitcoast, & I even made a video for it HERE. (You can also view a tutorial I did on my blog HERE.)

This time I did a winter theme & used snowflakes for the bg. I forgot my own advice about using small stamps but was happy to see a white Posca paint pen took care of the few little oversteps.

I will mention, I die cut the stitched back panel first then measured to know where to score the “tiles”. The panel measures 4″x 5.25″ so I scored the lines 1 5/16″ apart. The first time I scored them, I used a Scor-Buddy but found the lines weren’t as deep as when I used a Scor-It board. You want to be sure to use the indented side of the scored bg for your front side.

The teddy was stamped, colored & die cut, popped up a bit on the center panel. The deckle frame was sponged w/ the same set of blue inks I used on the bg & I added a few glitter snowflakes. Here are the Copics I used:
