YNS Challenge #55

Hello Stamping Friends!

Time for a new challenge at Your Next Stamp!!

Here's some inspiration for you:

Here is a card sketch....

and photo/colors to find inspiration from....

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

I flipped the card sketch and altered it a little bit and used all the inspirational colors to create this masculine Birthday card:

 I stamped the fun fisherman from the Keepin' It Reel stamp set on some Copic Coloring Paper with the Black Olive Ink from YNS!  These inks work perfectly with Copics!  NO bleeding!

After coloring the image in I used the coordinating Keepin' It Reel Die Set to die cut him out!  As I used pop-dots to adhere him to my card!

The cute little fish and sentiment are also from the Keepin' It Reel stamp set!

Instead of the circle shape, I went with an oval shape and die cut it from my pattern paper.  I thought it would create a fun little shaker window behind my fisherman and sentiment panel.

I finished off my card by adding some Love Earth Gumdrops!!

Father's Day Fishing

Hello Stamping Friends!


Hope you are having a great weekend!!

Just wanted to share a Father's Day card I created and just noticed I forgot to post!

I really like how this card turned out so wanted to still share it:

I used the awesome Fishing Lesson die from Frantic Stamper!  I used the die to die cut the oval from the front of my card base and then used it again and die cut the image on black cardstock!

I used the All In the Family stamp set to create the "Happy Father's Day" sentiment!  I just love how you can build your own sentiments in this set!!

I love the window that I created!!  When you open the card you can still see the adorable silhouette!!

Have a lovely day!

Fun Fishing Card

Hello Stamping Friends!


I have a fun card, in honor of Father's Day, to share with you today using some awesome dies from Frantic Stamper!!

I just LOVE how this card turned out!

I started off by using the Diagonal Card Sketcher Die Set to create the layout of this fun card!!

I used the Fishing Fly Assortment for the row of jigs on the top!

The stamped "Dad" sentiment is from the All In The Family stamp set!!

On the bottom half, I used the awesome Fancy Fish die!

I placed a googly eye behind to make it a little more fun!

I also used part of the Fishing Pole die to get the hook and some of the line, to make it look as if someone was about to catch this huge fish!! 
Have a lovely day!

Hooked On U!

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's my day once again to post on the Honey Bee Stamps Blog!!

I have a combination of one of their awesome stamp sets, along with a fun new die from Frantic Stamper!

I started off by first opening the Brush Grunge Alpha Digital .svg file.

I then created the word I was looking to create - "hooked" !!

Once I thought the letters were overlapped properly, I welded the letters together.

Then I obviously cut the word out!!

After cut out, I then stamped the Brush Grunge Alpha letters needed to create my word!

So by now you are probably wondering "hooked", why "hooked"??

I recently got the Fishing Pole die and was going to create a Father's Day card with it, but then ended up thinking creating the word "hooked" with it looking like the rod is pulling it up would be fun!! 

Here's a look at my finished card:

I absolutely LOVE how it turned out!!  

So it went from being a Father's Day card to more of a card to get my hubby just because!!

It's sometimes funny how our visions change as we start creating a project!!

The two banner strips on the top right were created with the banner die from the Diagonal Card Sketcher!!

"Bee" sure to check out all the lovely products Honey Bee Stamps has to offer!

Happy Stamping!!

Happy Birthday Fish

Hello Stamping Friends!


Check out this super fun masculine card:

I just LOVE how it turned out!!

I used the newly released Fancy Fish from Frantic Stamper!
I love this die!!!

I decided to create a shaker card with this die cut.  

The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from the All In The Family stamp set!
Have a lovely day!

Happy Dad's Day

Happy Friday Stamping Friends!

It's my day to post on the Great Impression Stamps Blog once again!

Frantic Stamper released an awesome Fancy Fish die, today actually!!
So I thought I would get a head start on some Father's Day cards!!

I really like the Happy Dad's Day (D389) sentiment from GI!  Something different, then the traditional Happy Father's Day sentiments!

I started by first stamping the sentiment, then I thought I would use my Distress Crayons to create a light wash that I would then put my die cut fish above.

I used my waterbrush to grab the color from the crayon and then lightly created the wash on my paper.

Here is my finished card:

I really like the light wash behind the fish.

Perfect, simple card for a special dad!!

Thank you for stopping by to see my project today!

Have a fabulous day!!
