Beautiful Love

Hello Stamping Friends!


I have a sweet Valentine to share with you using fun dies from Frantic Stamper!!

I love the beautiful Double Fan Border Die!  Which is why I decided to use it for both my top and bottom border!  I really like the bold statement it creates!

I then also used the beautiful Big Handwritten Love Die!  This is one of the first dies I ever ordered from Frantic Stamper!!  I just fell in LOVE with how the "o" was changed out for a heart!!  I know I'm a real sucker sometimes!! lol

I Woof You

Hello Stamping Friends!


I have a cute card to share with you using fun new dies from Frantic Stamper!!

This is the first card I created with the new Pet Love Release!!!

When I got the Dog Paw Print Die Set it screamed "shaker card" to me, with the thought of Valentine's Day right around the corner I thought this would be cute to give my son!

I think he'll get a kick out of it, since he loves dogs!

I put little hearts inside the paw print shaker window!!

So cute and fun!!

YNS Feature Day Hearts

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's Feature Day at Your Next Stamp!!

Feature Day Theme Is....
Hearts

With Valentine's Day just a few weeks away I decided to use this challenge to create a fun little candy package for my kids!!

I love the Treat Topper Die Set, as it is such a perfect die set to create candy toppers with!  

I first added a piece of heart pattern paper from the Hugs and Kisses Paper Pad to the pink die cut topper!   I then die cut the stitched rectangle die cut, also from the Treat Topper Die Set, and stamped the fun Heart Ink Splatter with Cherry Blossom Ink on it!  I used a sponge to also add some ink around the edges as well!!  Then I  added some Black Licorice Divine Twine!

I die cut one of the hearts from the Stripe-tastic Heart Die Set and stamped the beautiful "love you" from the Cool Tag Two Patterns stamp set!  I added some pop-dots behind it and added it to my candy topper!  

I finished it off by adding a button with a Black Licorice Divine Twine bow and added some enamel hearts!  I then added my package of candy!  How fitting that they are heart shaped!!

Lots of hearts on one package!!

PURR-fect Day

Hello Crafty Friends!


I have a cute card to share with you using fun new dies from Frantic Stamper!!

I absolutely LOVE cats!  When I was little, living in the country with a barn on our property, I had tons of cats!  I was probably the crazy cat "kid"!  I can remember having about 30 cats running around outside!  I had them all named as well!!  Such a fun memory!

So I was excited to get the Peeking Cats die to work with, brought up some of those memories!

I currently have one inside cat, who is black and white so I based my die cuts on him!!  He just loves to cuddle!  I love it! I have to be careful though as he is able to open some of my plastic containers to get the string inside!

I also used the new Cat Sentiments stamp set!!  I love all the sentiments in this set!!

Have a PURR-fect day!

Warmest Wishes

Hello Stamping Friends!

Today I am on the Inspired By Stamping Blog!!

We have been having some really chilly weather here in Wisconsin!  -4 without the wind chill!! Brrr...So I still haven't been able to put away the lovely SnowflakeWonder stamp set.  I just absolutely love these beautiful snowflakes!  Plus I thought it may be nice to get a head start on my Christmas cards for this year! (Yes, I just said that!) 

I started by stamping the snowflakes randomly on a piece of paper in VersaMark Ink and then heat embossed them with white embossing powder!

After heat embossing I decided to take some of my favorite Distress Ink colors and add some fun bright colors to the background!  

After I finished adding my fun colors, I decided to add some pretty Sheer Shimmer Spray!  And as I was digging through my supplies I found my Goosebumps spray and thought it would be fun to add as well, as I absolutely love the finished look!

I like how the Goosebumps gives even more texture and looks as if it is still wet!  I love the snowy winter scene I created!

Once I liked how it looked I set it to the side to dry for awhile.

After it was dry I mounted it to a piece of white cardstock.  I then added some pop-dots to the back of the layer and mounted it to my card base!

I then used the Fancy Labels 3 Die set to die cut two banners, to stamp my sentiment on.  I stamped the "With Warmest Wishes" on one and then "to you & yours" on the other, which are both part of the Poinsettias stamp set!!

I just LOVE the bright colors of this card!!  As well as the gorgeous snowflakes!!!

Have a lovely day!

YNS January DT Dare

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's DT Dare day at Your Next Stamp!!

DT Dare is....
3 Colors

I decided to choose to use white, pink and black!

With the lovely release this month and Valentine's Day right around the corner, I thought I would make a LOVE inspired card!

I used two of the heart dies from the Scripty Love Die Set to die cut them from my white card layer, to create shaker windows!!

I used the Cool Tag Two Patterns Dies to die cut the stitched banner, in which I then die cut the Love sentiment from the Scripty Love Die Set to put on top!  I just LOVE the font used for this die!!!  

I then stamped just the "you" from the Cool Tag Two Patterns stamp set!  I love how the font matches the love die!  They go so perfectly together!!!  

And once again I used the lovely Hugs and Kisses Paper pad for my patterned paper!!  I just love the colors used in the pad!!  It is a must have!!

YNS January Release

Hello Stamping Friends!

 It's release day at Your Next Stamp!!!
I just love release day!

So MANY great new stamp sets and dies being released today!!!


--------------------

I ABSOLUTELY love this new release!  I had so much fun with all the fantastic new dies, stamps and paper!!

I used the fun new Hugs and Kisses Paper for both the following cards!  I just love the patterns and colors of the papers in this pad!!

So as some of you may have caught before Christmas I featured the Circle Panel Die from YNS!  I just love this background die, it is so very fun to work with!  So many possibilities!

Well with YNS's January release, guess what?!  There's another one!!  This time it's hearts!!  Happy Dance!!  So excited!

So I featured the Heart Panel Die on this card:

Isn't it beautiful?!  I just love how this card turned out!!  I was so tempted to create a shaker card with it!  Next card I will!!

I featured the  Cool Tag 2 Patterns and coordinating Cool Tag 2 Patterns Dies on this card as well!!  I am also in love with these two!! The tag patterns are so fun and I love the font used for the two sentiments in the set!  On this particular tag I used I stamped it with the Cherry Blossom Ink!!

The Cool Tag 2 Patterns Dies I can tell will be used a lot!  I just love the tag as well as the cute little stitched banner!!  (As you will see below I used it for that card as well!!)

-------

Next up I have a sweet flip-it card using the fun new HalfHeart Flip Die!!

As stated above I used a mixture of papers from the new Hugsand Kisses Paper pad for this beauty!

I used the CoolTag 2 Patterns Dies for the stitched die cut banner, in which I then stamped the sweet little "Love You" from the  Sweet Little Greetings stamp set in Black Olive Ink!!

Close-up:

I finished up my card by adding some Magical Pastel Sparkly Gumdrops (my favorite!!) and some Aqua Divine Twine!!

What a fun release!!
