Hi everyone, it's time for the Group of Cardmakers technique for April. This month we are trying some split cards.
Split cards work better with large images which can be divided up to cover your card, it's fun to make two cards out of the stamped images.
I must admit I prefer the cards with a small section of coloured card andI think my first card is my favourite.
Here are some videos so you can see how the cards are made.

Split Colouring by Jennifer McGuire (11:29) - Jennifer creates 2 cards with one image.
Split Card Designs by Mindy Eggen Design (11:56) - Mindy shows how to create 2 card with one large image.
My first and second card are made with an AAL and Create Tracy Evans stamp, I added a little colour to the flowers and the bottle and went with a bold colour in the side panel.
My third and fourth cards are to add to my Christmas stash and I used a Tim Holtz Christmas stamp and Sentiment. Again I prefer the card with the bigger white panel.

Two great stamps beautifully coloured which you have used for this technique Christine, and I love the pop of red to accompany the stamped and coloured portion of each of the cards. The shading on the bottles keeping the background white and with just that lovely yellow and orange for the flowers works well on the first, and the added red portion is perfect with the fun Christmas image on the second pair..a super seasonal colour. x
You girls always have the best ideas and you always executed them beautifully! These are fabulous, Christine!
I really love these, Christine, especially because they are so unique! What a great way to not only get two-for-one, but to use colored card! Hugs, Darnell
Both beautiful cards and a great technique, I prefer the cards with the bigger white panel and love the flowers stamps on the first cards.

LOVE both sets of two cards Christine. The dark red portion of each card is a great contrast against the white and really makes the images pop. Great work with this technique!! xx
Always love a good 2-for-1 technique. Trying to think of what large stamps I have. 🤔 Fabulous set of cards!.
Great techniques for cards. I love your designs; it's a brilliant way to make the most of large stamps and create unique cards. The color combinations are fantastic.

Very artsy, Christine! I think I prefer the narrower strip of dark color but I LOVE getting two cards from one design!
I love the two for one idea, and using the colored cardstock is an interesting technique. Your first card is my favorite, also, but I do think the Christmas image looks pretty great stamped on red!
❤️🥰 what gorgeous cards
Your card designs are so unique. I don't think that I've seen this look before. Awesome job!
Happy day to you!
