Hello! I wanted to share a sweet little card I made using one of the new YNS sets-Holiday Tea! These little mice are too stinkin' CUTE! I chose this darling stacked tea cup image and stamped it with Black Olive Ink. I then colored with Copic markers and cut it out with the coordinating Holiday Tea Die Set.
I also used the fab new Holiday Lights Strings Die Set for the lights at the top-LOVE! I hope you have been having as much fun creating with the new sets as I have! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Wednesday!

Hello! It's time for a new Fun Friday Challenge at YNS and this challenge is Mad for Plaid! Just use plaid somewhere on your project:)
I made a pretty simple CAS card for this challenge using the fun Ball-Tastic Circle Two Die to create a large ornament. I cut the base out of some dp from the Mint Cocoa Kisses 6x6 Paper Pad and then cut the ornament again from both white and red cs to add the accents. I stamped a sentiment from the Santa Express stamp set using Black Olive Ink and then hung my ornament with silver metallic twine between the words. Easy peasy!

Hello! I wanted to share this little project I made for fun. I was dying to put together this adorable Silhouette haunted house and when I was done, I just thought it needed a little something else, so I added this adorable monster from the Your Next Stamp Way Cool Monsters stamp set. Isn't he so fun?! I stamped him with Black Olive Ink and colored him with Copics. I then cut him out with the Way Cool Monsters Die Set and popped him up with foam tape over the house. He looks right at home, doesn't he? Well thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great week!

Hello! It's time for a new Fun Friday Challenge at YNS and this challenge is Halloween! You can make anything-treat boxes, cards, tags, haunted houses! I just love making things for Halloween!
I decided to make a fun little Shadow Box Card. I cut out the base using a Silhouette file and then decorated my sweet scene using this adorable image from the Spooky Fun Stamp Set, along with some dies from the Spooky Halloween Scene Die Set and a sentiment from the Halloween Words Die Set. I decorated the front of the box with some dp from the Spooky Cute 6x6 Paper Pad. So much fun to make!!!

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:)
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!!!

Hello! I have another fun project to share today using some new products from the Your Next Stamp birthday release! I just loved this release and hope you guys did too!
I was itching to get this fun Birthday Surprises stamp set inked up:) Of course I chose the box full of cats because I am obsessed with my new kitties. I have never had a cat before, or even been around cats, but I've decided I'm a total cat person. Love these two!!!
They are so sweet, soft, and cuddly-LOVE lol!
I kept my card simple, letting this adorable image be the focus. I stamped the image with Black Olive Ink and colored with Copic markers. I cut it out with the coordinating Birthday Surprises Die Set. I sponged some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink in the background and popped my image up with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment and then added some Blueberry Blitz Sparkly Gumdrops. Super simple!
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Hello! It's time for a new Fun Friday Challenge at YNS and this challenge is Just For Fun! We want you to create something based on what you find fun! I just love creating tags so that's what I did for my project today:)
I used the adorable new Silly Fun Birthday stamp set for my images and sentiments. These cuties just make me smile! I stamped the images with Black Olive Ink and colored with Copic markers. I cut them out with the coordinating Silly Fun Birthday Die Set.
I used the Cool Tag Four Die Set to cut my tags out of dp from the Spooky Cute 6x6 Paper Pad. I then layered a circle cut with a die from the Circles Die Set and added some grass cut with the Stitched Grass Die. Finally, I popped my images up with foam tape over the circular panel. The sentiments were stamped directly onto the dp.

Today we are previewing the new sets Birthday Song and Birthday Surprises. I made a card using Birthday Song:
I stamped these super fun images with Black Olive Ink, colored with Copic markers and cut them out with the coordinating Birthday Song Die Set. I layered the images over a panel cut with the YNS Confetti Panel Die. I cut both purple cs and red cs and then filled in some of the spaces using the red cut outs.
For the sentiment, I used the new Talk Bubble Frame Die Set. Love the idea of the framed talk bubble!!! I decided to put my images on the red carpet by adding a strip of red cs to the bottom, and then popped everything up with foam tape. So cute and festive:)

I just had to pull out the So Many Squares Panel Die (love), and then I sponged different colors on a panel behind it to create a sort of tie-dye look. For my image I used the super fun One in a Chameleon Stamp Set. I stamped my images with Black Olive Ink and used my Scan N Cut 2 to cut them out as I don't have the One in a Chameleon Die Set. I colored with Copic Markers and then added some Sugar Rush Sparkly Gumdrops to the centers of the flowers. Finally, I added the sentiment that was cut out with a Fishtail/Banner Die Set One Die.
