YNS January Preview Day

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's that time of the month at Your Next Stamp!!  After taking a month off from a release in December, I am so very excited for NEW products!!!

It's Preview Day today!
Tomorrow is Release Day!!!!

Such a fun time!

As always, there is a wonderful release in store for you!

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


For today's Preview, I got to use the super cute new Silly Book Monsters stamp set!

At first I was going to just create a bunch of note cards for my kids to write down book wish lists for when we go to the library, because it never fails they think of a book they would like to get at the library, but then when we go, they and myself included forgot what it was.

But shortly after I got the stamps, I was looking through photos from 2015 and stumbled across some photos my sister took of the kids and I outside reading!  My kids love reading!  Many times in spring and summer we'll grab some books and head outside!  So relaxing and fun! 

So I decided to create some fun project life pages for my kids albums using the fun Silly Book Monsters stamp set!

These monsters are just so cute!!  

The fun "Book Monster" and "Book Wish List" sentiments are also from the stamp set!  As well as the cute bookshelf!  Oh my daughter's title card I didn't color the bookshelf in, but on my son's I did:

I create the cute little "Book Wish List" cards and was originally going to just journal on them but then thought it  would be fun to incorporate my original idea.  So I had each of the kids write down books the like reading on their cards!  It was a fun way to get them involved!  As they looking helping me document their memories. (Mom son really got a kick out of the tiny mouse sitting on the book shelf)

I used the previously released Cute Alpha Squares and Cute Alpha Squares Die Set to add the "Read" title on the bottom pictures!

Here's a close up of one of the title cards:

So fun!!  I used the new Silly Book Monsters Die Set to die cut the fun monster after coloring it!  I then used pop-dots to add him to my title card!  Gives some fun dimension!

I can't get enough of these cute monsters!!

YNS Challenge #49

Hello Stamping Friends!

Time for a new challenge at Your Next Stamp!!
Click here to find the current challenge!

Here's some inspiration for you:

Here is a card sketch....

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

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

For my sweet card today, I primarily followed the sketch!  But I switched it up a little!!

I decided to place the rectangle/square piece behind my sentiment layer, as I ended up just using a pretty piece of patterned paper for it!

I really like how this sweet Baby card turned out!!!

I used the Cute Alpha Squares stamp set and coordinating Cute Alpha Squares Die Set to create the custom "Baby" sentiment!!

I finished off my card by adding some Bright White Divine Twine under the sentiment and adding some lovely Hey Baby Sparkly Gumdrops to each of the corners in pink!!

YNS March DT Dare

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's DT Dare day at Your Next Stamp!!

DT Dare is....
Celebrate Women

March 8th was International Women's Day!!

We were to create projects featuring femininity and our strength!


I thought it would be super fun to use the new Cute Alpha Squares stamp set to create the "BEAUTIFUL" sentiment!!  I used the Cute Alpha Squares Die Set to first cut all the tiny squares and then stamped the letters!!

And added the "you are" which is part of a sentiment in the Magical Unicorn stamp set.

Before I placed the "Beautiful" sentiment, I first used the Small Pee-a-Boo Trio Die Set, to die cut the square trio three times, to create the shaker opening for this card.  I then adhered the "Beautiful" sentiment.

I finished up, by adding a button and Yellow Solid Divine Twine!!
