Your Next Stamp Fun Friday Challenge #133-In and Out!

Kerri 12:00 AM 1 Comments

Hello! Just a reminder that you have one more week to play along with the current In and Out Fun Friday Challenge! We want to see you decorate the inside of your cards too! This was a challenge for me because it's not something that I usually do:) You can post your cards HERE on the YNS Blog for your chance to win a YNS gift certificate!

For my card I finally had the chance to play with the adorable new Pigs Can Fly stamp set! Soooo CUTE!!! I used every one of the darling pigs on my card with the 4th one being on the inside:

LOVE! I also used the new Puffy Cloud Panel Die which I just adore! I cut it out of white cs and sponged with Carved Pumpkin, Worn Lipstick, and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink. I then used some of the cut out clouds and popped them up with foam tape.

I stamped my sweet images with Black Olive Ink, colored with Copics, and cut them out with the coordinating Pigs Can Fly Die Set. I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with a Fishtail/Banner Die Set One Die.

For the inside, I cut a circle out of a piece of cs using a Circles Die Set die and used that as a stencil to sponge my circle. I added the 4th cutie, more clouds, and the sentiment and it was complete!

We hope you'll also play along with us! Link your In and Out project on the YNS Blog for your chance to win a YNS Gift Certificate! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend:)

Your Next Stamp February Release Inspiration

Kerri 12:00 AM 0 Comments

Hello! I have a sweet card to share today using the new set-Hammie Sweetness Overload! I just adore this set-definitely a favorite from the release:) I stamped these cuties with Black Olive Ink and colored with Copic markers. I then cut them out with the coordinating Hammie Sweetness Overload Die Set.

For the background, I decided to use some pink and white striped dp because it reminded me of a soda fountain. I then sponged hearts over the dp using a stencil I made with the Floating Heart Panel Die along with various Distress Oxide Inks. I used this same stencil and colors on this card here:

so it was still sitting on my desk:)

I added the frame and sentiment and it was complete!

Your Next Stamp Fun Friday Challenge #124-Go Long!

Kerri 12:00 AM 0 Comments

Hello! It's time for a new Fun Friday Challenge at YNS and this challenge is GO LONG! Create a long and thin card (approx. measurements 3.75"x9"). So much fun! I haven't made one of these in forever and I loved it! I have so many more ideas so you may see more in the near future:)

Head on over to the YNS Blog to see all of the DT feature cards, and leave a comment for your chance to win a stamp set of choice, AND you can also play along with the challenge for your chance to win a YNS Gift Certificate!!!

For my card, I used the brand new Spooky Fun stamp set. At first I wasn't sure what I wanted to do so I just colored up a few images and cut them out with the coordinating Spooky Fun Die Set. Then I decided to sponge the sky using Pumice Stone Distress Oxide Ink and I thought it would be cute to have the owl sitting on a tree branch.

I found this branch die in my stash and just added a strip of black cs to the edge for the trunk of the tree. I stamped the sentiment with white ink directly onto the trunk and added a moon behind the owl cut with a die from the Circles Die Set. The right side felt a little too bare, so I added the super cute bat image flying away with the pumpkin. I adore this stamp set!!!

You still have time to take advantage of this awesome deal!!!
