Your Next Stamp April Release Blog Hop!

 

 

Hello and welcome to the Your Next Stamp April New Release Blog Hop!  We have some GROOVY projects to share with you today using some ADORABLE new stamps and dies!!!  The DT has had a blast playing with all of the new goodies, and we know you will too!

 

The hop starts here so everyone should be in the right place! :)

Isn't that kitty hilarious??? I just love him/her! This set is called "Purrrfect Day Cat" and is one of the newest sets from Franfou designs. When I saw him I knew immediately that it would be a favorite from my daughter. She loves her kitties and was instantly excited once she saw my card! :)

I colored the kitty with my copic markers, trying to give him the feel that he was a hairy guy. I then cut him out and popped him up on dimensionals. The rest of the card is pretty straight forward! I used some fun paper from Echo Park called "This & That" and embellished with some "manly" twine.

 

As always we have some fabulous prizes to be won!  Just make sure you leave comments on all of the DT blogs for your chance to win!  Winners will be announced on the YNS Blog Saturday, April 27th.

April YNS Sneak Peek Day!

Good morning everyone! Are you excited for another Your Next Stamp release? I hope so 'cause it's a big one! :)

For my card I decided to pull out one of our new border sets. This is a really fun set and I couldn't wait to play with it. Aren't those flowers just so cute??? I stamped them on the card and colored them with my Copic markers. The sentiment is also a sneak peek from a different set that I'm not showing you yet! :)

 

To accompany my card, I decided I wanted to make a bookmark so I stamped the flowers using the baby wipe tutorial and then the zig zag stripe on each side of it. I used the Fishtail Banner die set to cut out the bookmark and crocheted a sweet little flower to embellish the top!

 

Here is the set all together!

I hope you enjoyed today's sneak peeks! Stop by the YNS blog to see more! 

YNS Tasty Tuesday: Welcome!

 

This month's YNS Tasty Tuesday is a yummy one! I love the design and the colors of those cookies! So cute! So for this card I decided I wanted to use the idea of the flowers and the color combination. I took the challenge quite literally I guess!

I used the Happy Home set and embossed it with white embossing powder on some chocolate chip card stock. I then layered onto some baja breeze and white card stock as well. I added some old flowers that I've had in my stash for years and wrapped some fun twine around the card!

Make sure you stop by the YNS blog to see what everyone else has created for today's card!

YNS: After the Release!

 

Good morning everyone! I hope you really enjoyed this week's Your Next Stamp release and blog hop because you get to see more! :) Today the DT is celebrating by having an After the Release Day! How fun! And what better way to celebrate than by sharing with you a fun and Springy card? I told you I had Spring on the brain. 

For my card I used the new and adorable set called "Blossom". Isn't she just so cute??? I love that she is jumping in the air with joy. Anyway, I colored her using my Copic markers and sponged the background using my inked background technique. To create the sentiment, I pulled out the awesome "Letter Board" die again (I seriously can't get enough of it). I then applied the sentiments onto the banners that I cut with the "Fishtail/Banner" die set. I embellished the card with some Divine Twine and some dew drops and the card was finished! I have been loving these long cards lately! There is just so much room to write inside of them! :) 

Anyway, I sure hope you enjoy today's card! Stop by the YNS blog and the rest of the design team to see what they've come up with! I know you won't be disappointed!

Onto my project:

For my card I used the brand new stamp set called "Twinkie". Again, baby on the brain! :) I pulled some old Cosmo Cricket paper and sponged the edges of all my layers. I stamped and colored "Twinkie" using my gray Copic markers and my white Prismacolor Pencil! I love the look this has on Kraft cardstock! I then cut the little lamb out and popped it up on dimensionals! To finish my card, I added some pretty seam binding ribbon and some sweet little pearls!
