Fabulous CAS Favorites

Here are some fabulous CAS cards I found in the SCS Gallery!

I thought it would be fun to add something new this season. In preparation for the new DT search coming this Friday evening @ 8:00 PM (EST), I decided to link a few of my favorite cards from the gallery. There's no chronological order to these cards, just cards I really like. HINT: They may also give you a hint for the styles I'm looking to find for next season.

Featured Stamper & Favorites

Today's featured stamper on Splitcoast is Korin (Sweet & Sassy Stamps). I absolutely love her gallery! After my card, I've linked some of her cards along with cards from some of the challenge players today.



My inspiration was based on Korin's Forget-Me-Nots card.

* Same colors & style EF
* Similar stamps & embellishing
* Turned the sketch and altered it a bit to accommodate the size
* Placed the flower embellishments differently
* No designer paper because I didn't have anything as pretty as Korin. I used a lacey border punch instead.

Rubbernecker Stamps: carnation (532_07),
sentiment (565_12)
Paper: GP white, SU retired eggplant envy & orchid opulence
Ink: Memento black, rich razzleberry, Copic markers (C1, V12, V15, V17, G24, G21)
Tools: Cuttlebug Swiss Dots EF, Spellbinders Nestabilities labels 17, Martha Stewart lacy scallop punch, SU oval punch
Accessories: SU ribbon, Primas, brads
Size: 4.5 square

Changito with some Favorites from SCS

I have some faves to show you from the SCS gallery along with a couple of Stampendous Changito CAS cards I made last month for the July 4th holiday challenges. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

CAS Holiday Challenge #3: Things that sparkle

I used a stamp from a Gina K. Designs set called, Bug me Anytime for the "fireworks." Then I added red rhinestones to the center of them.

Inspired by this card by Qbee.

Featured Stamper & Favorites

SCS Featured Stamper: mocjen
I had such fun cruising her gallery. She is an excellent CAS stamper
and is part of our CAS challenge design team this summer.

This is the card that inspired me.

* I used the same basic layout. I turned the card, moved up the ribbon, and stamped the sentiment right on the base card rather than mounting it on a punched circle.
* I changed the colors and patterns of the 3 squares and added 3 three rhinstones.

Rubbernecker Stamps: flourish panel (580_02),
sentiment (565_10)
Paper: GKD white, SU pumpkin pie
Ink: SU certainly celery, pumpkin pie, bashful blue
Accessories: rhinestone stickers, SU white taffeta ribbon



This is Jennie's card that inspired my 2nd card.

* I used the same layout but I reversed it. (Put the monogram M on the other side.)
* I used a different scallop punch, a different "M" stamp, and used an oval instead of a circle.
* I kept the same colors but used a white card base. The border punch is hard to see in the photo, but it can be be seen in RL.
* I didn't use any pearls, but I added ribbon.

Rubbernecker Stamps: Floral Alphabet (526)
SU Paper: white and pacific point (cs & dsp)
SU ink: pacific point
Tools: Martha Stewart scalloped lace border punch, SU oval punch, scallop Nestabilities
Accessories: SU white taffeta ribbon



This is Jennie's card that inspired my 3rd card.

* I used the same layout but didn't do any distressing.
* I changed the colors and used different floral stamps.

Rubbernecker Stamps: Garden Shrub set (560)
SU Paper: white, pumpkin pie, retired apricot appeal
SU Ink: garden green, pumpkin pie, peach parfait
Accessories: pumpkin pie ribbon
