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

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

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!

I am sharing a card that I made with the new set Pick Me Up-so CUTE!!! I love this fun kitty with the balloons, and it's so cool how the THANKS sentiment fits perfectly onto the balloons:)

I stamped my image with Black Olive Ink and colored with Copic markers. I then cut it out with the coordinating Pick Me Up Die Set. I then cut the THANKS sentiment out using the Pick Me Up Die Set and adhered the letters to the balloons. 

To create my scene, I used the fab new Cloud Panel Die-LOVE! I cut it out of white cs so now I have all those cute little clouds cut out:) I then sponged my panel with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. I used a city skyline die from my stash to cut the buildings and then stamped the rest of my sentiment directly on the bottom. Such a fun set!

Thanks for stopping by! I'll be back Thursday for the new release blog hop!
