Hello Stampers!  I made this card for the Clean and Simple Card Challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  The theme for this week's challenge is vacation.  I thought of this hammock stamp right away.  To make my card I started with the front card panel.  I trimmed it and die cut the recgtangle peek a boo die cut.  Then I set it on my card front without adhering it and used a pencil to trace the inside of the rectangle so I could see where to stamp my hammock.  Next I lined up my stamp a ma jig and stamped the hammock within the lines I traced.   Then before I went further I wanted to stamp my sentiment.  I again used the stamp a ma jig to line up and stamp the sentiment.  By this time the ink was dry from the hammock stamp and I erased the lines I drew on.  Next I colored in the hammock stamp, and then dotted the sand with my Copic markers.   For the sky I used a Copic marker and colored swirls.  Now it was time to adhered the card panel to the card front.  I used dimensionals to pop this panel up.  For the die cuts I adhered the clouds and for the sun I colored it in with Copic markers and then adhered it to the card.  I was kind of stumped as to what I should do on the inside.  Then I remembered that I had this sunshine stencil and that was what I went with.  

This was a fun card to make.  Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Ink: VersaMark and Memento Tuxedo Black (inside)

Hello Stampers!  It is time for Featured Stamper Sunday!  Today's Featured Stamper on Splitcoaststampers is Vicki, and this is the card I chose as inspiration for my card.  I kept the grouping of three, and used trees instead of flowers.  I put the gems at the top of my trees.  And I embossed the entire card front instead of using a combination of two embossed panels.

My sister requested a pink Christmas card, so this is about as close as I can get to that request!  To make this card I cut out a piece of printer paper 4.25x5.5 and folded it equally into thirds to figure out how big to make the backgrounds for my trees.  After I cut these out I adhered the trees with a gem at the top.  Then I adhered this grouping of trees onto a black mat.  Next I embossed the card front.   To finish the card I adhered the tree panel onto the card front, and added a sentiment.  

That's all for now, thanks for stopping by!!

Hello Stampers!  I made this card for the Free 4 All Challenge on Splitcoaststampers: Christmas In July.  I have had this dancing gnome made for awhile, so I challenged myself to make it into a card today.  I started by embossing the card front with a snowflake embossing folder.  Then I adhered the gnome to white cardstock and then matted it with black.  To the card front I added a black and red check strip matted in black and wrapped in twine.  Then I heat embossed the sentiment onto a banner, and added it to the card.  The finish the card I added a quick bow to the twine.  When trying to figure out what to put on the inside of this card I was reminded of the movie Elf, and how he says "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear."  And I remembered that I had that stamp!  It worked out perfect!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Hello Stampers!  I made this card for two challenges today: Freshly Made Sketches and Ways to Use It: Bee Creative on Splitcoaststampers.
