Splitcoaststampers Falliday Fest Challenges

I have made 30 cards and some projects for the Splitcoaststampers Falliday Fest Challenges, and I plan to post a few at a time.  The Splitcoastsampers Falliday Fest Challenges include creating 30 cards and 10 projects following supplied tutorials.  There will be little details shared here on some projects; therefore, and if you want to CASE a card or project, please feel free to leave a comment asking for the details and I’ll get them to you. Here we go:

 1.  FF16punchboardpumpkin

This pumpkin box is for the SCS Falliday Fest Tutorial #1 to create a pumpkin box.

Using the SU Score Board, I scored, cut, and assembled the box and covered the four sides with an orange card stock that was embossed with the SU Woodgrain EF that I covered with Pumpkin Pie Ink. I then sponged Pumpkin Pie Ink on the four corners of the box.

Not having any burlap ribbon, I used SU Crumb Cake Seam Binding to form the stem for the pumpkin. I rolled and glued, rolled and glued, and rolled and glued the binding until I had 2″ for the stem. I manipulated the top to curve it somewhat to the right. I then adhered it to the box top.

Using a leaf die, I cut and colored three types of leaves, and embossed and added them to the box top. I also added two mini holiday greens within the leaves.

I cut three thin strips of crumb cake card stock, selectively added crumb cake and emerald envy ink, and twirled them with a quilling tool. I added these to the box top.

I made a multiple loop bow with two SU ribbons and added it to the box top.

Lori Craig (stamp_momma), a host for a Falliday Fest Challenge, asked participants to create a thanksgiving card and include wheat in the image. This card is my submission to her challenge.

I had to search for a wheat related stamp, and this is the only one I found among my many stamps. It is from a retired SU Always Thankful Stamp Set, and it’s the first time I’ve used it. I colored the image with copics.

I used the Spellbinders A2 Filigree Delight Dies to cut out the image and cut a frame for the image from polka dots DSP. I added my sentiment which is a stamp, Harvest Of, and die cut, Blessings, from ODBD.


Stamps: SU Always Thankful, ODBD Many Blessings

Paper: Solar White Card Stock and SU Polka Dot DSP

Ink: Copics and SU Not Quite Navy

Accessories: ODBD Many Blessings Die, Spellbinders A2 Filigree Delight Dies

This card is my submission to Lydia (UnderstandBlue) Falliday Fest Challenge (FF16UnderstandBlueA) to make a card with the brilliant colors of a New York fall AND include print – newsprint, book pages, or text.  The following photo was my inspiration.

To qualify for the challenge, I added a small piece of “newsprint” regarding NY. The fence was inspired by the above mentioned photo. The fall tree had no leaves, so I cut a piece of a mini stamp from a SU Happy Seasons fall tree stamp and stamped leaves on the tree and grass. I had to stamp the leaves probably a hundred times! {sore arm today}


Stamps: SU Forever Young and SU Happy Seasons

Paper: Solar White, Autumn Spice DSP, SU Newsprint DSP, and SU Orange Card Stock

Ink: Fall Colors of SU Markers and Copics

Accessories: IO Fence Dies, Foam Tape
