Hi
Stampers!
August is here and another month (and with a bit of
sadness since my four month term now ends) with the Splitcoaststamper’s Creative Crew!
Again, we are hoping that you will join us this month by
creating a project and uploading it to the Splitcoaststampers SU! CreativeCrew Gallery- believe
me, it is a lot of fun! When you upload,
make sure that you use the keywords that are highlighted in bold so we can all
see your projects and comment (SUO- Stampin’ Up! Only and SUM= SU! Mostly)-
The theme this month is “Celebrate Friendship”!! Did you know that August 5th is International
Friendship Day? As John Lennon said,
"I get by with a little help from my friends!"
CCREW0812DF, CreativeCrew, SUO or SUM --

Razzleberry, Tempting Turquoise, Island Indigo, Real Red, Tangerine Tango and
Whisper White.

-- Holiday focus: Make a “flip-flop” card for your friend (no, it is not in the
shape of a flip flop- this is another special fold)! Never made one before
(this was my first time)- here is the link to the Splitcoaststampers tutorial.

Scrapbook focus: Create a scrapbook page or project that showcases your special
friend using the sketch below.
Here are the projects that I created this month:
I have several for the CCREW0812DF DSP Focus:
Card#1- Friendship is a Great Place
Using
Sponge Daubers apply Daffodil Delight and Tangerine Tango Classic Ink onto a
piece of Whisper White cardstock (determine the width that you desire- I masked
the paper and used an area a bit higher that the stamp image). Stamp the images using Rich Razzelberry
Classic Ink and trim to size.
Use the
Big Shot™ with the Adorning Accents Edgelits™ Dies and cut a piece from Whisper
White and the Summer Smooches DSP.
Emboss the edge using the Adorning Accents Folder.
Layer onto
Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White and DSP (Tangerine Tango DSP was embossed with
the new Fancy Fan Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder.
Finish off
with the stamped and punched butterflies, sentiment and Rhinestones.

Card#2- Fabulous Friend
This is a
quick easy card- use the reverse side of the piece of DSP that you used in the
card above for the bottom curved layer.
Ink the
stamp using Stampin’ Write markers in Rich Razzleberry and Lucky Limeade. Mount
onto Lucky Limeade and add the satin bow.
Emboss a
piece of Rich Razzleberry with the Square Lattice Textured™ (I punched a circle
using the 2 ½” Circle Punch before embossing) and emboss a piece of Whisper
White with the Fancy Fan EF (I love this folder! :-)).
Layer the
pieces and add the sentiment and pearls to finish off the card.

CCREW0812HF Holiday focus- “Heaven Knows
You’re Special”
I have to
admit when I first saw that we were going to create a flip-flop card, I thought
it would be one of those cute cards that look like flip-flops but come to find
out, there is a special fold that you can create called the “Flip-Flop” card
–see the Splitcoaststampers tutorial here.
I used
Whisper White as the base and covered it with embossed Island Indigo cardstock
(embossed with the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder).
Create the
central panel using Sponge Daubers with Daffodil Delight Classic Ink and stamp
the floral images using Island Indigo Classic Ink. Layer onto Whisper White and add the embossed
Daffodil Delight cardstock panel. Insert
the Designer Framelit™ edge between the front and back panel, add the pearls
and the ½” Daffodil Delight Seam Binding Ribbon bow with the Antique Brad.

Stamp the
sentiment onto a panel created similar to the background paper, add to finish
off the card.
Stamp
Sets: Stippled Blossoms, Blessings from
Heaven
Paper: Whisper
White, Island Indigo
Ink: Daffodil Delight, Island Indigo

Embossing Folders, Finishing Touches Edgelits™, Punches- 1 3/8” Circle, Word
Window and Modern Label, Pearls, ½” Daffodil Delight Seam Binding Ribbon,

Fair Warning- this was a fun card to create but time
consuming….next time, I would most likely not cover the Whisper White with the
embossed panels (this is what took the most time).
Thanks again for stopping by! Even though we have not met personally, I
feel that we are friends- so give yourself a “hug” from me! Have a great week and celebrate one of your
friends this month- God Bless!
