Forever Yours with GI

Happy Friday Stamping Friends!

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

For my card today I used the fun new G530 Forever Yours stamp!

I sometimes struggle with CAS cards, so I challenged myself to create a clean and simple card with just this background stamp.

 I used the stamp to create my own background!

I used pearlescent ink to give the image a little sparkle!

I die cut the bottom of my card with a scallop heart border die to add a little interest!

And finished the card up then by adding some gems and crinkle ribbon!

I absolutely LOVE the new hippo2stamp and solids4hippo stamp set from TSOL!!

As well as the matching Hippo Dies!

You are Loved Package with HBS

Hello Stamping Friends!

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

Are you ready for Valentine's Day?
It's almost here!

Today I thought I would share a 3D gift project with you, using some Honey Bee Stamps!!!

First I collected a few supplies:

Stamps (Cherish and Beautiful Life)
Inks
Some Candy
Clear Box

I found these sweet gummy roses downtown and they reminded be of the flower in the Cherish stamp set!

So I picked them up to add them to a gift package!  Perfect for Valentine's Day!

And as you can probably guess, I grabbed the large flower image from the Cherish stamp set to create my own background.

I stamped the flower in three different colors.

I used my Gelly Roll pen to add sparkle to a few of the flowers!!

And here is my finished package:

Isn't it sweet?!

I used the fun "you are loved" sentiment from the Beautiful Life stamp set!

I finished the package off by adding some flowers and rhinestones!!

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

Happy Stamping!!

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's DT Dare day at Your Next Stamp!!

DT Dare is....
Paint The Town Red!!

With Valentine's Day around the corner, we were dared to use red as our predominant color!

I decided to use different shades of red for this fun shaker card:

 I used the new Stripetastic Heart Die set to create the layers of hearts!

The die set includes 5 regular different sized hearts and a striped heart!  So excited about the striped one!!  Can't wait to use that one!!

The "I Love You!" is part of the new Heart Happy stamp set!

Such a fun card!

Now for my card:

 Recently on of my friends daughters turned 4!

I thought it would be super fun to create this shaker card for her, as it seems as though kids get a kick out of these type of cards!

I used the beautiful E367 Swirly Birthday sentiment!

I die cut the "4" from my Cameo!

On the white cardstock behind, I stamped the K73 Polka Dots a few times!

Three times to be exact, once in black, once in pink and once in purple!

YNS February 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!!!


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

This release has some yummy sweet sets!

I am featuring the Celebrate Sweetness stamp set!

I just love the scale, bag and candies!!!

So many fun images packed in this set!!

I created this card to send to my kiddos this summer.  I occasionally send them cards to my parents cabin when I know we are going to be going there.  There is an awesome candy store that they love going to!  So I thought I'd added a few dollars into this card to go to the candy store and I think they'd get a big kick out of it!!

Such a fun set!!!

Next up, I have a sports related card:

I used the fun new Sports Fanatics One stamp set!

My son is obsessed with sports!  So this stamp set will be used a lot!

He especially loves FOOTBALL!!

So I thought I would create a fun card using the football image first!!

I LOVE the matching sentiment!

So perfect for any boy or even adult football enthusiast!

I also used the Mini Star Ink Splatter under the sentiment!!

And finished the card up with adding some of my own star accents and Love Earth Gumdrops!

The paper is so perfect for this card!!

Be sure to check out all the awesome new products here!!!!

Please reference our linky at the bottom of this post for the entire hop list.

Happy Hopping!!
Please remember to leave some love along the way!

February YNS Preview Day

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's that time of the month at Your Next Stamp!!

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

I just LOVE this time of the month!
Once again, there is a wonderful release in store for you!

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

Here is the first card I created for this release:

I used the adorable new Happy Heart stamp set!!

The set features an adorable bunny holding a heart and 3 sentiments!!

I decided to give my Zig Watercolor Pens a try!  Not 100% sold on them, but it was my first time messing around with them.

I think he turned out pretty cut!  Was about to give up on him, as I had messed up the bottom of the heart, but then decided to crop the image so that I could still use it.

I also used the new Doily Trio Two!!


I also added some Candy Land Glittered Gumdrops!!

For my hop project I was inspired to use the fun new Be Yourself stamp set!

This set includes 4 different beautiful bird images, 2 music notes, a flower and 3 sentiments!

I fell in love with this bird....

 Along with the sentiment!  Which is why I was inspired to use some fun bright colors to color in the bird!!

There are matching Bird Dies to go along with this set!

I used the two music note dies to die cut the notes from my card base. 

As I thought it would be fun to create tiny little shaker openings with them!!

Super bright and fun!!
