Cards by Kerri

Hello!  TGIF which means that we have some awesome inspiration projects for you on the Your Next Stamp Blog!

Today, I have a simple gift tag that I made using the fabulous Recipe Card Clear Stamp Set, along with the Sugar and Spice Large Apron Die and the YNS Whatnot Die Set Sugar and Spice.  I also used the Large Postcard Die to frame the recipe card.  

If you haven't had a chance to take a look at all of the awesome new dies Karen has gotten in the store, you should definitely check them out!  

Well, this has been a busy week!  Lots of appointments, and trying to finish up school with Avery, and tonight my little man has his pre-school graduation.  I know I'm going to be a blubbering mess:(  Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

Hello!  How was your Memorial Day Weekend?  I had a wonderful and fun 3 days with my family:)  Now I'm just trying to finish up the final few days of school with Avery and then I will happily welcome summer vacation!  

I wanted to share a card that I made using this beautiful image from Taylored Expressions called Rose Bouquet.  I really wanted to color the roses using several different Copic colors, and I love how it looks!  I also added some Curly Swirlies flourishes behind the image for some added interest, and I used the Open Scallop Border Die for the border.  The dp is Echo Park Paper Co. For the Record 2 and I also used some ribbon from the January 2013 KI Ribbon Bundle which coordinates with this paper collection.  

Well, I am busy working on the new release for next week!  Trust me, this release is so much fun and I am having a blast playing with the new goodies:)   Thank you so much for stopping by today, and have a terrific Tuesday!

Hello!  So how did you guys like the Your Next Stamp May release?  Super cute as always, right?  I am just loving all of the new images, and the dies~FABULOUS!!!  

For my card today I used another one of the adorable birdie images called Flower Bush Robin.  I just adore these darling birds:)  I also used the YNS Fishtail/Banner Dies for my sentiment which comes from the Handwritten Sentiments Set.  (I just saw that the Fishtail/Banner Dies are on sale for $12.00!!!) I also used the YNS Whatnots Die Set ~ Groovy 70's for the flowers.  The dp is Echo Park Paper Co. Bundle of Joy and the layout is the Deconstructed Sketch #95.

For my September page I used the fun Made in the Shade Stamp Set along with dies from the Sunny Days Stamp Set with Coordinating Dies.  I stamped the image twice and cut the pumpkins out so I could pop them up for some dimension.

For my October page I used another one of the Made in the Shade images and added a haunted house from the Oh What a Holiday Set.

For my November page I used the Made in the Shade set once again, and added a cloud from the Sunny Days Stamp Set with Coordinating Dies.  Once again, I stamped the image twice, and cut out the front house so I could pop it up for dimension.

Hello!  It's time for another Your Next Stamp Tasty Tuesday!  All you have to do to play along is use the above inspiration picture to create a card or other project:)  Here's what I came up with today:

This image is so appropriate right now because it is POURING outside!  This cutie is Rainy Day Fhiona.  I colored her up with Copics and layered her on top of some My Mind's Eye Collectable Unforgettable dp.  The sentiment is from PTI and I cut it out with a YNS Fishtail/Banner Die.  The layout is Freshly Made Sketches #86.

Hello!  I wanted to share another card I made with this month's Taylored Expressions Stamp of the Month plus the May Key Ingredients Kit!

I used the adorable dress image in the SOTM set and paper pieced it 3 times with dp from the Key Ingredients Kit.  I used the fabulous banner die from the Branches, Banner, & Bloom Die Set to stamp the "Hello There" sentiment and stamped the "Cutie Pie" underneath.  I cut the fishtail pieces with the Banner Stacklets 1 Dies and added some ribbon from the Key Ingredients Kit.  Here's a close up of the image:

I just love this month's set and have had a blast playing with it!  Well, I gotta go get ready for church!  Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful Sunday!

Hello!  It's time for another Fun Friday at Your Next Stamp!  This month's theme is Summertime, and what's better in the hot, summer months than ice cream!!!

I used this darling image called Total Sweetness~love!  I colored it up with Copics and cut it out with Circle Nestabilities.  I layered it over a flag that I cut with the YNS Fishtail/Banner Dies.  The sentiment was stamped with one of the new Clearly Your Next Stamp sets called Happy Day Sentiments.  It was so easy to get perfect placement with this clear set!  I also added a couple of flowers that I cut out with the Spring Garden Die Set.  The dp is Echo Park Paper Co. For the Record 2.

Hello!  I wanted to share a card I made last week using the new Mr. & Mrs. Cutting Plate from Taylored Expressions.  This is one of the prettiest cutting plates I have ever seen~so much detail! 

 

I first cut a piece of My Mind's Eye Bramble Rose dp with the plate, but I wanted the Mr. & Mrs. to stand out, so I cut some black cs with it as well.  I simply hand cut the Mr. & Mrs. out of the black cs and glued them on top of the dp.  I added a few pearls and it was complete!  So easy, yet so beautiful!  Here's a close up:

 

 

That's it for me today!  Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello!  I hope you've enjoyed the Taylored Expressions release this month! Remember, all of the new stamps and dies are available NOW in the Fresh Out of the Oven Department:)

Today I am sharing a card that I made with the new Going to the Chapel Petite Stamp Set with Coordinating Dies!  This is probably my favorite of the whole release because it is just so stinkin' CUTE!!!  I love that darling church and that adorable couple!  

I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copics.  I used a fabby Deconstructed Sketch~#99 for my layout and some more lovely Simple Stories Vintage Bliss dp.  The border was cut with the TE Open Scallop Border Die, and the sentiment was stamped on a Banner Stacklets 1 Die.  I also added a little die cut heart using a Cupid's Arrow Die.  Here's a close up:

Hello!  It's Release Day at Taylored Expressions which means that all of the new stamps and dies that we have been peeking over the last couple of days are available in the Fresh Out of the Oven Department!  

Today the DT is sharing projects made with some of the new dies and we are showing how you can use the same die in totally different ways~fun, right?  I am using the new Shades of Thanks Die on my projects today.  

For my first card, I cut the tree out with white cs and colored it with Copic markers.  I used some Echo Park Paper Co. For the Record 2 dp and added a border with the Open Scallop Border Die.  I used lots of layers and added some stitching .  I also popped the tree up on foam squares for some dimension.  Here's a close up:

I just love the detail that Taylor puts into her dies!  Gorgeous!

Next, I made a very CAS card using this same die.  This time, I used the negative of the Shades of Thanks tree by cutting it out of a white card stock and then backing it with some sage colored cs.  I stamped a sentiment from the new set Happily Ever After and added a satin bow.  Here is a close up of the tree:

Two totally different ways to use this beautiful die!  

Make sure you check out the rest of the Baker's Dozen blogs to see what they came up with today, and have fun shopping!

Today I have some wedding projects to share with you!  For my first card I used a beautiful new set called Happily Ever After.  This set comes with several gorgeous flower images and sentiments that are perfect for that special day! 

I stamped two of the flower images and cut them out.  I layered them over some flourishes that I cut with the new Curly Swirlies Dies~LOVE!!!  I also used the Lace Chain Border Die for the borders along the edges.  The sentiment was stamped on a Banner Stacklets 1 Die.
