To Help Splitcoaststampers Help You…
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 of resources of all kinds: a gallery full of ideas and eye candy and where you can share your own work, challenges in which to learn and play, step-by-step tutorials, forums full of information on all topics where you can ask for or offer help, spread your news, shed a tear. As you become acquainted with SCS you wind your way deep and deeper, discovering more each time you visit. The next thing you know, you’ve made a new friend. To that I can testify as well.
All of these benefits are free. Some of them are priceless. Will you take a moment to answer some survey questions for the folks at Splitcoast? It’s very quick and easy. I did it last night. The survey will be available until Thursday, January 31. They’re only asking in an effort to give you more of what you’d like to see. It’s all explained here where a link to the survey is provided, too.
Just for fun, I’ve included a couple of cards I uploaded some time ago to my SCS gallery. This card was my first effort with the Stampin’ Up! Wild Rose set when it was brand new. More details can be found here.
This one I called “Extreme Sheen” and it was made in response to the Ways to Use It Challenge #88 — using Lumiere. The flowers were stamped on black cardstock, then painted with a mixture of Lumiere and Pearl Ex. The background is Stampin’ Up!’s Paisley in Bordering Blue. Hmmmm…I think I need to bring that background out to play again soon. Please click here if you’d like to see more cards made for this challenge. If you’d like to see a list of all the challenges you can participate in, even if you do it silently without ever uploading your card, please click here.
Thank you so much for your time! I hope you have an absolutely marvelous day!
Love both the cards, but the Bud Basics with Lumiere is gorgeous!!!
Oh my heavens, that blue card is just STUNNING!!!!! They’re both gorgeous, but that second one really stands out to me - I swear I’m like a child, anything that contrasts with black is what grabs my attention first! LOL Anyway, that’s beautiful work - I think it’s time to dive back into these challenges again and get my feet wet again. Thanks for the inspiration and beautiful artwork!!!!
Holy Moly - these are absolutely beautiful!! I LOVE them!!! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
Oh Leslie ~ Both of these cards are just beautiful!! The designs are perfect for each one. You have such a talent for matching colors and the 3-D just makes these “pop” out. I did complete the survey for splitcoast as I can only imagine the work it takes to keep it up and going. Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas
They are both Lovely, I have been doing alot of blue cards lately don’t know why but your blue card is just lovely!
I remember that Wild Rose card! It’s one of my favorites of your cards. The lumiere card is gorgeous, too.
I LOVE SCS and spend a LOT of time there. My stamping has improved by leaps and bounds since I found it. I hope it always stays the warm community that it is.
Good Morning Leslie, I did the survey a few days ago. It is well worth everyones time. It is kind of like voting. If you do not vote, then you should not complain…right?!? The survey has very thoughtful questions and is a great opportunity to tell the wonderful and dedicated folks at SCS what a super job they are doing and inspire them with new ideas. BTW, your “older” cards are as gorgeous as ever. TFS
Beautiful and breathtaking card.
I remember the wild rose card. And I still think it’s gorgeous. And the blue (my favorite color) one — oooo, yummy! I love the way you shaded the petals.
Stunning cards! Such beautiful stamps and techniques!
Oh, what beautiful cards!!! The cutting you did on the rose card is to be commended!!! It’s lovely!!! And I absolutely adore your Extreme Sheen card — love the design, the colors, the ribbon, and I can only imagine the sheen IRL!!! Amazing work!!!
*THUD* Seriously Leslie these are incredible!! Those roses are absolutely exquisite.. my jaw literally dropped when I saw them!! Really.
I’m so glad you’ve posted these gorgeous “older” cards from your gallery! I don’t have the time to browse the gallery like I used to, so I miss a lot! Both of these are stunning!!!
I did fill out that questionnaire, my SCS friend! And how wonderful to see these fantastic creations of yours again, although I’m very fortunate to have the lovely “Extreme Sheen” in my possession to admire first-hand! :o) Linda
I don’t remember that “extreme sheen” but it is a stunner for SURE!! WOWEE!! Linda is lucky to have that in her hot little hands!
I don’t think that I’ve ever seen the blue card before. It’s so very pretty!
Linda
WOW WOW WOW! I didn’t even recognize the sets at first! That is a stunner - absolutely gorge!!
if anyone here likes the polka dot ribbon on that scrapbook, holla!
