Your Next Stamp Fun Friday!

Hello! It's Fun Friday at Your Next Stamp, and to continue our birthday celebration, I created a fun little birthday card using the August Sketch and Inspiration Picture:

I used the super fun Silly Monsters set and stamped the sentiment onto a YNS Fishtail/Banner Die. I also added a heart from the Clip It Die Set. The dp is Doodlebug Fruit Stand.

We hope you'll join us this month and create a card or other project using the sketch or inspiration picture. You could win a $20 YNS Gift Certificate! Read how to play along HERE on the Your Next Stamp Challenge Blog.

Thanks for stopping by again today, and I'll be back tomorrow with another project using the brand new YNS stamps:) Have a fabulous Friday!

Kerri 10:00 AM 3 Comments

Hello! It's Day 3 of peeks from Taylored Expressions, and all of the new stamps and dies will be available tomorrow at 7 AM (PST)-Woot Woot!

Today I used a set that is just perfect for all those athletes you know called All-Star Accents! I was so excited to see the Thanks Coach sentiment because I can always use a thank you card for my kiddos coaches:)

I stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black, and cut it out with a circle nestability. I used the fabulous Deconstructed Sketch #161 for my layout along with some Carta Bella Boy Oh Boy dp. I added one of the fun stars from the All-Star Accents set and used the TE Banner Stacklets 1 Dies for the banners.

Taylored Expressions August Sneak Peeks: Made in the Shade 2 and Little Bits Kite

Kerri 10:00 AM 5 Comments

Hello! It's day two of Taylored Expressions sneak peeks and all of the new products will be available on Thursday!

My first card uses the new Made in the Shade 2 stamp set which goes perfectly with the Shade Tree Cutting Plate! I stamped the image on Choice Snow White cs with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored with Copics. I then stamped it again on some dp and cut it out for the grassy hill.

I used the Shade Tree Cutting Plate and cut it out twice with brown and green cs. I cut the green leaves off and adhered them to my brown tree. I added some clouds by sponging over the Cloud Border Die, and for the final touch, I stamped a sentiment from the Mischief Maker-Back to School set onto a Pinking Circle Stacklet and layered that over one of the Build a Scene Sunshine Dies.

Next up I made a little picnic cutlery caddy:

I found this cute Picnic Silverware & Condiment Caddy in the Silhouette Online Store. I put it together and then decorated it with some Pebbles Americana dp. I added a couple of the new Little Bits Picnic Dies- Picnic Basket and Kite along with some clouds that I cut with a TE Build a Scene Swirly Clouds Die. So fun! I also added some grass using the TE Grass Border Die.
