Your Next Stamp Fun Friday Challenge #106-Colors of Winter!

Hello! It's time for a new Fun Friday Challenge at Your Next Stamp and this time we want you to use winter inspired colors! I always think of cooler shades like blues and purples along with some white from the snow, so that's what I went with today:)

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!!! Just leave a comment by February 6th and the winner will be announced February 8th! The challenge will close on February 14th at midnight EST.

For my card I used 2 adorable sets-Flurry of Happiness and Holiday Mice. I stamped my sweet images with Black Olive Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I then cut them out with the coordinating Flurry of Happiness and Holiday Mice Die Sets. 

For the background I used some Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans, and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Ink to sponge my sky. Then I used water drops, some white paint, a white gel pen, and the snowflake stamps included in the Flurry of Happiness stamp set to add the falling snow. I then added the snowy hill cut with a die from the Double Pierced Hills Die Set and popped my images up with foam tape. So cute!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hello! I have a fun little card to share with you today using more of the new release products from this month:) I just LOVE all the adorable new stamp sets and can't stop making things with them! Today I chose this super cute image from the new set Love and Hugs. I stamped the image with Black Olive Ink and cut it out with the coordinating Love and Hugs Die Set. 

I once again used the Floating Heart Panel Die to cut a piece of cardstock and then used that as a stencil to sponge some hearts in the background. I used the super fun new Heart Flower Edge Die to cut a piece of red cs and then a piece of green cs to create my hill and flowers. I simply cut all of the "flowers" off of the green piece and then layered the green over the red. To finish it off, I added some new The Perfect Blend Gumdrops.

That's it for me! Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Hello! It's January Preview Day at Your Next Stamp and all of the new products will be available tomorrow, January 3rd at 11 am EST! To see the full list of blogs that have a preview, head over to the YNS Blog!

For my preview, I used the super fun new Carnival Food Fun Stamp Set and coordinating Carnival Food Fun Die Set along with the fab new Floating Heart Panel Die.

I started by stamping my images with Black Olive Ink and coloring with Copic Markers. I then cut them out with the coordinating dies. I popped them up over circular panels sponged with various Distress Oxide Inks and some watercolor splatter. 

For the background, I used the new Floating Heart Panel Die and then took a couple of the hearts that were cut out and adhered them to my image panel. Finally, I stamped the sentiments and simply cut them out in a strip and popped them up with foam tape.

I'll be back tomorrow for the YNS New Release Blog Hop which starts at 11 AM EST! Thanks for stopping by!
