MCT Throwback Thursday

Hello Sweet Stamping Friends!

I'm joining in the post today on the My Creative Time Blog!

Today's theme is...
Throwback Thursday

We were asked to showcase an older stamp set that isn't retired!!

I decided to work with the awesome Happy Thoughts stamp and die set for my sentiment. the 'You make my heart" was stamped with black ink and I die cut the Smile a few times and layered them together!

I used my Distress Oxide Inks to add the yellow on my white cardstock!  I then stamped two of the happy faces from the Just Brew It! stamp and die set randomly!

A fun little notecard!!

YNS Designer Showcase

Hello Stamping Friends!

Over the next three days on the Your Next Stamp Blog we are showcasing the revamped Smiley Happy Critter Crew stamp sets!!

I love these adorable sets!!  They each are filled with so much happiness!!

I was able to work with the Smiley Happy Critter Crew Set One!!

I'm in love with each one of the critters in this set!  But was excited to use the ladybug first!  We call my sweet little girl doodlebug and she likes ladybugs!  So I thought it would be to create a card for her!  I love to occasionally leave a card in her room to find or put them in her lunch!

Isn't it sweet?!  I thought it would be fun to go with a black and white polka dot background!  I really wanted the ladybug to jump off the card!

So sweet!

I also used the Stitched Rectangle Die Set to die cut the pattern paper and to cut the tiny rectangle for my sentiment to be stamped on!  The "SMILES FOR YOU" sentiment is also from the adorable Smiley Happy Critter Crew Set One stamp set, in which I inked up with the Black Olive Ink from YNS!  

I finished off the card by adding some red gumdrops, which are part of the Candy Land Glittered Gumdrops set!

These critters are so much fun!  Sure to put a smile on anyone's face!!

Be sure to check out the other DT projects on the YNS Blog!  As well as checking back the next two days to see the other two adorable sets and inspiration from the DT!!
