YNS August DT Dare

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's DT Dare time at Your Next Stamp!!

DT Dare Is....
Celebration

Since we are celebrating YNS's 7th Birthday this month, what a perfect theme to go with!!

So with that in mind, I decided to create a super fun and bright Birthday card!!!

Check it out:

Isn't it fun?!

I just LOVE how it turned out!

I started by die cutting the new Circle Panel Die and then stamped the large beautiful "Birthday" from the Birthday Chickie stamp set!!  I then stamped the "happy" from the Little Notes stamp set, which I masked the birthday so that I would only get the happy.

I then die cut the Circle Panel Die a few more times with different bright paper!  I then filled in the circles on the die I wished to!  The rest I used for shaker windows!!  Each shaker window is separate, so I could use multiple different sequin and seed beads!! 

I finished my card off by adding some lovely Gumdrops!!

Be sure to check out the other DT projects on the YNS Blog and leave a comment for your chance at winning a stamp set of your choice!!

Sweet Ducks with D2BA

Hello Stamping Friends!!

It's the first Sunday of the month, which means there is a new challenge on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog!!

Our theme this month:
Animals

With that in mind, I decided to grab the new Restore the Soul stamp set!  I absolutely LOVE the adorable Mom and baby duck in the set!!

Here is the card I created:

Just a friendly "hello" card!
Look close at the Mom duck!!

Do you see the pretty pearl necklace she has on!

Here is a look at the image after I colored it:

What a fun image to color!!  Just a fun image in general!!
After I was all done creating the card, I added the pearls to the circles around her neck!

Super fun added detail!!

YNS August Release Day

Hello Stamping Friends!

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

And August is always a fun month for YNS, as it is Your Next Stamp's Birthday month!!
We're celebrating 7 years!!!!

How very exciting!!

There are so MANY great new stamp sets and dies being released today!!! As well as, drum roll please, a new paper pack!!!


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

So first up, I am using the super fun new Silly Monsters Rockstars!!  This stamp set is so much fun!!  I love it!  I also used the coordinating Silly Monster Rockstars Dies, to cut out this silly monster!!

The sentiments in this stamp set are super fun as well!!

I'm also extremely excited for the new Circle Panel Die, which the silly monster is placed above!  I can see I will be using this die a lot!  So many fun possibilities with it! 

Behind the panel, I used a new piece of the Swirly Fun paper!!

This little rockstar was placed on my card with an Action Wobble!! :)  So he can really rock out!!

I finished up my card by adding some yummy sparkly Gumdrops!!

----------

Next up I am featuring two new stamp sets, the beautiful Framed Flowers and the Whatnot Sentiments Seven!!

The Framed Flowers stamp set has six different floral images!  

I used three of them for my card:

I used the new Stitched Peek-a-Boo Door and Frame die set, for the frame, to create the bold black frames!!  I think it really makes the flowers stamp on!

I love the Whatnot Sentiment series YNS has to offer! So I was so super excited to see there was another one being released!!  I decided to first use the Sympathy sentiment from the new Whatnot Sentiments Seven!!  Like many people I am not a fan of creating these type of cards, but it needs to be done occasionally.  

And as in most cases, I finished off my card by adding some yummy Gumdrops!!  

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.

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....

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

I found inspiration from both the sketch and colors once again!!

I was inspired to use this floral paper from Simple Stories after seeing the color photo!

I used the Stitched Rectangle Die Set to create the shaker opening!  I just love these stitched dies!  Especially since I can't run a sewing machine for the life of me! lol

The "Thanks!" is from the Scribble Fun Two stamp set!

I finished the card off by adding some Deep Pink Solid Divine Twine and Gumdrops, which I absolutely LOVE!!!!!

Autumn Calling

Hello Stamping Friends!


Have you had a chance to see the new "Crisp Fall Day" die release from Frantic Stamper!?!

I had so much fun with this release!!

I first decided to share my card using the Autumn Calling sentiment!  

After I had die cut the sentiment, I thought it would be fun to put on a shaker window, with some sequins and die cut leaves behind as if leaves were really falling!!

So I die cut some of the small leaves from Primitive Veined Leaves die set in a few different colors!  What a fun idea!

I also used the same die set to die cut a few on yellow pattern paper to add to the bottom left corner of the shaker!!

For the main shaker design I used the Elementals #14: Square Basics for my frame!  I love that die set!!

With all the warm weather we have been having the last few weeks, I am so ready for fall!!!

Have a lovely day!

Sit On the Dock

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I'm on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog today!!

Today I am featuring the new On The Dock stamp set!
I just love the new stamp sets the were recently released!!

I decided to grab some fun daubers to ink in my image, instead of coloring in the image with my Copics, like I would usually do!

I started by inking up the dock image and the fun "Come Sit on the dock with me...the drinks are cold & the friendships are free."  Such a fun sentiment, I just loving sitting on a dock enjoying life!!

 Both were inked up with Totally Black Ink!

Next, the FUN begins!!
Using a dauber, ink of your color choice, in my case, I decided to start with the water, so I used Paradise!  I love this ink color!!

Keep shading to your liking!

I then moved on to the dock, in which I used Chocolate Chip Ink!!

My finished card:

How fun!!

I just love using those daubers occasionally!!

Have a beautiful day! 

Jack-O-Lantern Faces

Hello Stamping Friends!


I have another card to share with you using the fun new Jack-O-Lantern Faces from  Frantic Stamper!!

There are three Jack-O-Lantern faces in this die set, but I only used two of them for my card!

I die cut them from the black paper to reveal the paper behind, was going for a kind of spooky scene on this card!

I just LOVE these die cuts!!

The sentiment is from SweetStamps.com, part of their Halloween Kids stamp set!

Have a lovely day!
