For my card, I used my favorite stamp set released this year called Birthday Surprises! I also used one of my favorite techniques-sponging!

The image was stamped with Black Olive Ink, colored with Copics, and cut out with the coordinating die from the Birthday Surprises Die Set. 

I used another one of my favorites-the Fancy Celebrate Die for my sentiment and then added some Rainbow Sparkle Gumdrops to complete! So cute and fun!

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!

Monster House!

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!

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

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!!!

Your Next Stamp-Full of Surprises!

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!
