Your Next Stamp 2020 Favorites!

Hello and Happy New Year's Eve! We are counting down to the New Year by sharing our favorite YNS projects/products from this year:) I picked out 2 faves to share with you today:

First up is this tweet card using Tweet Spring Birds. I just love these cuties, and I also loved creating a soft rainbow effect on the Slim Stripe Panel Die. 

My second card features the cutest stamp set-Holiday Hugs! I adore this sweet mouse and hope we see more of him in the future! I also really love the new Hugs Word Die Set and the combo is just so sweet!

That's it for me! I'm looking forward to creating with more YNS cuteness in 2021! Here's hoping for a better year for many and an overall healthier year for all! See you next year!

Your Next Stamp Sweet Holiday Cookies!

Hello! I wanted to pop in and share this cute little project I made using the adorable YNS Sweet Holiday Cookies Stamp Set! I also used a fun Silhouette file called 3D Gingerbread Milk Carton Box.

I stamped these cuties with Black Olive Ink, colored with Copic markers and cut them out with the coordinating Sweet Holiday Cookies Die Set. Then I cut out all the gingerbread house pieces with my Silhouette machine and started putting everything together! To complete it, I added the cute clothespin to close the top of the box, and some red and white baker's twine to the wreath.

I think it turned out so stinkin' CUTE! Love it and I just adore these sweet cookies!!!

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a very merry Christmas!

Your Next Stamp Special Christmas Series and a Sale Day 4!

Hello! Welcome to day 4 of the YNS Christmas Series! We are showcasing 5 holiday stamp sets and Karen is offering them for 50% off during the series at the YNS Store!

For my card today, I used the adorable Merry Mouse Eve Stamp Set. 

I stamped this sweet image with Black Olive Ink directly onto my card front and colored with Copics. I then stamped it again, cut it out and used it as a mask so I could sponge around my colored image. I kept the mask in place as I splattered white watercolor paint onto the background. I also added some dots using a white gel pen.

The sentiment comes from the Good Glidings stamp set, as do the snowflake images. Finally, I framed this cutie using a die from the Stitched Rectangle Frames Die Set. 

Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to take advantage of the sale through Wednesday the 25th at midnight EST!

Hello! Welcome to day 3 of the YNS Christmas Series! We are showcasing 5 holiday stamp sets and Karen is offering them for 50% off during the series at the YNS Store!

Today I am sharing a card I made using the fun set, Happy Egg Nog Season. I'm not much of a fan of egg nog, but my hubby loves the stuff lol! 

I stamped 3 of the images from the set with Black Olive Ink, colored with Copics, and cut them out with the coordinating Happy Egg Nog Season Die Set. I sponged the background and layered some dp from the Mint Cocoa Kisses 6x6 Paper Pad on the bottom. I stamped the sentiment directly on the card front and then added my images. So cute and festive!

Your Next Stamp Holiday Hugs!

Hello! I was so exited to finally ink up this adorable little mouse from the Holiday Hugs Stamp Set. I just love him!!! As soon as I saw this sentiment in the set, I knew I wanted to use it with the new Hugs Word Die Set. So super sweet!

I started by stamping this cutie with Black Olive Ink, coloring with Copics, and cutting him out with the coordinating Holiday Hugs Die Set. I sponged the background with Tumbled Glass and Broken China Distress Oxide Ink. Then I spritzed with some water and splattered with some white and black watercolor paint.

I cut out the HUGS and sponged the letters with some Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink. I stamped the sentiment directly onto my background, masking the "hugs" with tape. I then inked up the sentiment and removed the tape so that the hugs wasn't stamped. I added my die cut hugs sentiment underneath and my adorable image and it was complete!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have some crafting time today!

Your Next Stamp Happy Hayrides Fall Fun!

 

Hello! I wanted to share a fun little card I made using the adorable new sets Happy Hayrides and Happy Hayrides Fall Fun!

I knew I wanted to create a little mountain scene because I have spent a lot of time in the mountains this summer/fall. I just came back up to the mountains to hopefully catch some glimpses of fall color which we just don't get in Florida. Can't beat the Florida winters though!

The scene also reminds me of my favorite little place to eat when I come to the mountains which is a delicious fresh Mexican food truck parked on a farm with a mountain backdrop. So adorable!

I started by stamping my images from Happy Hayrides and Happy Hayrides Fall Fun with Black Olive Ink. I colored them with Copics and cut them out with the coordinating Happy Hayrides and Happy Hayrides Fall Fun Die Sets. 

To build my background, I used the Double Pierced Hills Die Set along with the Snowy Mountains Edge Die Set. I also used the sun die from the Beach Day Die Set. I decided to color the sky like the sun was setting and placed the sun so it was sinking behind the mountains. 

I love the bright sunsets we get this time of year. I took this one the other day from our backyard in Florida:

That's it for me! Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have a fantastic fall day!
