For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC828) we’re visiting The Stationery Studio & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS lovely picture. I really liked the look of the gold embossing on the maroon bg.

My card is all on the one maroon layer, so I did a bit of masking since all the images are separate. The maroon is actually a bit darker in person, & not quite so red. I started w/ the pumpkin, stamped & embossed it, then masked & stamped the cornucopia. After masking those, I stamped all the other smaller images & embossed them as well. The greeting is two, put together. The Thankful was stamped/embossed first, the I inked the Be letters (from You’re the Best)  & taped over the rest so I wouldn’t stamp it & added it on top.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A big congrats to Shirl, the newest Featured Stamper (FS761) on Splitcoast. She has a lovely gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & wreath, but used different images & dies & changed the colors up a bit.

For my Thanksgiving card, I die cut the layered pumpkins out of a few colors of rusty orange & the pumpkin vines & leaves out of a couple of shades of green. A needle piercing tool was used on the leaves to give them veins & I popped up a couple of the layers on the pumpkins to give them depth. I arranged them all on a die cut white ring then attached it to a square & layered it onto a rust square. The greeting was made out of two clear sets & stamped below.

It’s my honor to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC779) this week, & we are headed to Plaid Crafts where I chose THIS as my inspiration.

For my little turkey, I die cut the turkey & all the feathers, along w/ some leaves & pumpkins out of gold, rust, kraft, brown & olive card stock. I die cut 4 of the turkey bodies, because originally I was going 3D but found that it worked great instead of adding a lot of fun foam to elevate him & keep him from flattening out. I took some extra pics to show what it looks like. Two of the turkey bodies were scored down the middle & one was attached on either side of the front turkey, then a flat turkey body was attached to the back side. The feathers were scored w/ a piercing tool & half were attached to the back of the front turkey & half attached to the back turkey, giving it even more of a dimensional look.

This is the turkey front.

Here’s the bottom view, showing the the extra, scored turkey bodies attached to the front & back turkeys.

Here’s a side view, showing the feathers split between the front & back turkey bodies.

Another side view, showing where I added a pop dot to stabilize it. It’s really not necessary, as the folded side turkeys really help it keep its shape.


The white & rust colored ovals were die cut, the greeting added & attached to a die cut piece of designer paper.
