Your Next Stamp Sketch and Color Challenge #91!

Kerri 12:00 AM 1 Comments

Hello! It's time for a new challenge at Your Next Stamp! I used both the sketch and color challenge for my card today:

I had so much fun with this and decided to make a shaker card! I started by stamping the adorable puffer fish from the Totally Narly Stamp Set, colored it with Copic Markers and cut it out with the Totally Narly Die Set.

For the background, I used the Wave Panel Die along with some blue, aqua, white, and kraft cs and cut it out with a die from the YNS Circles Die Set. I then framed the image by cutting a square and then cut a scalloped circle out of the middle using a Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Scalloped Circle Stackables Die. I added an acetate window and then 2 layers of foam tape around the edges to make my shaker.

I adhered my fish onto my circular Waves Panel Die background along with a couple of Sparkle Gumdrops. I then added some sequins and removed the backing on my foam tape to adhere the shaker element. Instead of adding the scalloped border like in the sketch, I thought it would be fun to add some sparkly bubbles using the YNS Bubbles Die and some Stardust Stickles.

We hope you'll play along with us! Just link your creations HERE for your chance to win a YNS Store Gift Certificate!!!

Hello! I'm so excited to announce that I have been asked to rejoin the YNS design team! I have missed being a part of this amazing team and playing with these super fun images:) Plus I just love designing for Karen because she is such a sweetheart!

When I saw the colors for the current YNS Sketch and Color Challenge #90, I immediately thought of the Florida Gators:) My hubby and I are Florida Gator fans which is why I chose the adorable gator from the So Happy For You set for my watermark! I also used him on my card today.

I used some Doodlebug Hip Hip Hooray dp for the water and sky and a stitched circle die for the sun. I used the YNS Mini Ink Splatter and Large Ink Splatter stamps to ink up the background and the YNS Photo Booth set for the sentiment. Finally, I added a YNS Gumdrop to finish it off.

Hello! I just finished this card and it is just perfect for this week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge which is Anything Goes AND it uses the new My Favorite Things Cross Stitch Rectangle Die-namics!

So cross stitching was one of the first crafts I ever did. I love it but I wasn't sure how I liked it on a card. After looking around the web and finding some smaller cross stitch patterns, I was like ok, this could be pretty cool:) I came across this flower image and thought it was so pretty! I didn't even have the color list so I just made up my own lol. I really love how it came out! I used a sentiment from the Taylored Expressions Simply Stamped Zinnias set. Here's a picture of the first cross stitch I completed about 20 years ago!

My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge #380!

Kerri 10:14 PM 3 Comments

Hello! I was able to play along with the new MFTWSC380 today:

I've been anxious to color up this cutie from the new Rain or Shine stamp set:) I knew I wanted to incorporate a rainbow, so I thought having that peek from behind the circle window would be perfect!

I used the Taylored Expressions Rainbow Cutting Plate to cut my rainbow and then colored it with different shades of Distress Oxide Ink. I will leave the colors in the supply list below. I wanted a smaller sentiment and this one from the retired TE set Certified Mail Art was perfect. I adhered that behind my circle and then added my acetate window behind it so I could make a shaker card:

I used the Lawn Fawn Outside In Stitched Scalloped Circle Stackables for the frame around the window and the TE Grass Border and Wispy Grass Border Dies for the ground. I love how it came out!!! Thanks for stopping by!

I stamped the sentiment in the middle using my Mini Misti Tool to align. Before adhering to my cloud layer, I added some grass cut with the Your Next Stamp Stitched Grass Die. I then started adding my sweet images to build my scene.
