Hello again! Happy weekend to you! Today I’m sharing an anniversary card I made with Flourishes’ Lace Heart and Flourished Words. The designer paper is my new BasicGrey Two Scoops. The paper in this collection is so pretty I had a hard time deciding which to use, but I liked the way this pattern complimented the [...]

I’d like to take a moment to share a project that’s been occupying my stamping thoughts for quite a little while. These are a few of the 50 baby shower invitations I’m in the process of making for a friend. Production stamping is not my strong suit but she asked me so nicely… This is [...]

If you’re a regular visitor at Splitcoaststampers you probably know how hard the site owners and other folks behind the scenes work to provide a pleasant community for everyone. I can testify first hand to how sincerely and selflessly dedicated they are to this task. The benefits of becoming part of the SCS community are huge in terms [...]

This little matchbook style gift card holder is something I designed way back before Christmas. With too much going on at that time I didn’t have a chance to share it with you then, so I thought I’d make a gift card holder for Valentine’s Day. Did you know that Valentine’s Day is the second [...]

Do any of you remember that old margarine commercial in which the crown would suddenly appear on a person’s head when they bit into their buttered toast? I keep hearing those trumpets whenever I look at this. Now I’ll probably always associate the crowns in this Mardi Gras set with a margarine commercial. There are [...]

This is a card I made over the weekend – just trying to be certain I use this Always set before it gets scooted to the side or buried under other new sets. It’s a rare application of self discipline. From among my new Stampin’ Up! sets I selected this one to mount first and I hope to make a few cards [...]

About a week or so ago my old SU! Hostess Club gang got together for a party. We’re not really a club anymore because everyone was doing more collecting than stamping, so now there’s no obligation to buy — just come and have fun! I loved the design of the “double accordian gate fold card that [...]

For the last couple of months the Splitcoast Dirty Dozen, current and alumni, have been playing a challenge. It looks like it’s going to be a monthly thing. First it was Elzybells, next it was penquins, neither of which I have. This month the challenge rules stipulated we were to: 1. Use a girl stamp, young or [...]

Hello! Is the weekend finally here? Really? I don’t know why but it seems like I’ve been in a bit of a fog this week, a little out of touch, somewhat disconnected. Maybe I’m pulling out of it now (I hope), but the week seems like a faint memory of something that barely happened. I [...]

I’ve made a card with one of my favorites of Flourishes’ new releases, Harlequin and Accessories — that’s the diamond pattern in the background. The set includes a number of different images that can be stamped in the empty spaces of the pattern and, of course, I had to do the flowers first. There’s a matching larger [...]
