You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Hi everybody. In the 8 months that I've had the privilege to serve as your Featured Stamper Challenge Hostess, it's been a very fun ride for me and I think it has been for you too. All good things must come to an end and this is one of them. I've taken on a position as a designer and educator off site and that comes with a tremendous amount of responsibility and it's time to pass the baton. I would like to thank you for your confidence in me as your hostess and all of your kind comments.
In typical ME style, I'm going out big and today's Featured Stamper is YOU!
If you've ever wanted to be a Dirty Girl or Featured Stamper - here's your chance to be one of them. So you shine on, all of you, and you know what to do.
I look forward to seeing all of your creations in the gallery for this special challenge where every single one of you is the star of today's show!
My card is a thank you card for you since you are all superstars to me. I've taken my Holiday Lights Orange Glow card and made my You're The Star! card. I made a video on this card that can be viewed on my blog. I changed the colors and sentiments, but kept everything else the same for my card. I also added some glimmer "splotches."
I'd also like to take this opportunity introduce to you the new Featured Stamper Challenge Design Team! You all know and love these ladies and they have so much fun in store for you!
Your new Featured Stamper Challenge Dream (and Dirty) Team is -- (drum roll please)
Please welcome these current and former Dirty Girls and give them a big congrats today too! We've got ourselves a mini Dirt Pile here!
Your new design team has CASE'd themselves and I'm attaching their beautiful cards to this post that you will be able to see below. Since I'm on Pacific time, I post the challenge at 7 p.m. my time and for you east coast girls, it's almost past your bedtime!
Bridget's adorable Cocoa card is attached below as it's 3 a.m. her time and a girl needs her zzzzz's ;)
Be sure to check out all of the great cards in this awesome gallery!
FS268 GALLERY
HOW DO I PLAY?:
Go to YOUR GALLERY and CASE a card, following these simple CASEing Guidelines:
1. Change 2 or more things from your original project. It could be a color combo, embellishments, backgrounds, or even the main image could be different -- but similar. Please list the changes you made in your description.
2. Put a link to the original card in your description.
3. Fan Club members may upload today (Sunday). Non-Fan Club members are encouraged to play, but please wait until Monday to upload your creations to give our volunteer moderators a day off. This is so much appreciated.
4. Please note the following regarding Sketch Challenge cards: If you are keeping the same layout but changing most everything else on the featured stamper's card, make sure it isn't a sketch challenge card (SC###). The reason is because it is essentially is a CASE of the sketch since it isn't the Featured Stamper's original idea. Sketch challenges include Mojo Sketches, Design Team Sketch Challenges, and Blog Sketch Challenges, etc. Please be sure to check the keywords!
UPLOADING DIRECTIONS:
1. Keyword FS268.
2. In the Details Section of your card, please describe the changes you have made and link your card. Fill in the products that you used in the blanks provided so that others can CASE your card too! Please do not link back to your personal blog.
If you are new to challenges, please feel free to this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get you stamping!

Good luck with your new job. Since I discovered the featured stamper challenge Sunday's have become my favourite day of the week. I play most weeks but I never get around to uploading into my gallery (I do that with most challenges). Thank you for the fun you've given me over the months.
Welcome to the new girls. Looking forward to you challenging me.
Cindy, a big hug and a big thanks for everything, we'll miss you! Julie, Judy, Stacy and I will try our best to fill your shoes!
Here's my card for today's challenge Retro Cocoa
Cindy, thanks so much for giving us many months of talented stampers to CASE! I wish you much joy and success in your new venture...you will be missed! I am looking forward to the challenges presented by the new team...WELCOME! Well...CASEing yourself is quite a challenge...I just took the last card I made. Here's the new version: Christmas Joy
Congratulations Cindy and best of luck to you! I chose two of my own cards to CASE, my least viewed and my most viewed card. I got the cards posted last night, but the battery died on my laptop, my cue to go to bed, lol. So here is my CASE of my least viewed card, Canvas Butterfly. And here is my case of my most viewed card, Amaryllis for Easter.
