November Designer Series at YNS!

Good Morning and Welcome to the Your Next Stamp November Designer Series!

We have Twelve wonderful days filled with Projects to share with you!

Today is Day Eight and MY day to show you what I have been working on!

Now that my daughters are a bit older, one of their very favourite things to do is to come home from school on a cold day and make hot chocolate!

They have their special mugs (so there is no fighting!) and love to try different flavours.

So my project today is a Hot Chocolate Dispenser!

I

I used the adorable stamp set called Hot Cocoa Phoebe, the Winter Plaid paper, 

and some awesome dies!!

And here is how I created this!

I started off by cutting the box on my die cutting machine and picking the plaid papers I wanted from the paper pack. I cut the green one to fit perfectly on the lid of the box.

I then gathered up some supplies I would need to make this box happen!
My Hot Cocoa Phoebe Stamp Set and Black Olive Ink.
I stamped out Phoebe and The Snowman onto some Copic paper.
Did you know you can stamp with this ink and then use your Copic markers right away??
Awesome right?

Next, I cut out two hills using the Double Stitched Hill Die Set. Then I stacked the two hills onto some of the Winter Plaid paper and then cut it out using the Stitched Square Dies.

 I thought the scene need a few more things so I used the Tree Line Border and
cut off some of the trees to tuck into the hills.

 I used my Copic markers to colour Phoebe and the Snowman and then used the
matching dies to cut them out!

 I tucked the Snowman into one of the hills and used foam tape to bump up Phoebe.

 Next I assembled my box using a strong red tape.

 Lastly, I adhered the front panel onto the assembled box.

And here is the final project!

I also tucked in some special Candy Cane hot chocolate!

Hope you enjoyed my tutorial today and taking the time to look!

Dare to be Plaid!

Here at YNS we are challenged each month to create something new using a specific theme!

For the month of NOVEMBER our Design Team Dare is: Favourite Christmas Combo!

If you know me, you KNOW I LOVE Christmas!! It is my favourite time of the year!
You also would know that we are a Scottish family so Plaid is a big part of decorating,
wearing and a huge love!
So, I have created this card with my favourite red plaid!

I masked the Iceberg and then coloured the cute Waddles penguin

( from the set called: Waddles Winter Wonderland)

with Copic markers. Then I attached it onto the Stitched Scallop Rectangle

Die and added the Merry and some gumdrops to the front!

The plaid background paper is from the Winter Plaid Paper Pad.

Go to the YNS Blog to see what the other DT's have made for you,

comment and you could win a stamp set of your choice!

Thanks,

Sue

Anyone want a preview???

Welcome to the NOVEMBER Sneak Peek for the new release!

Your Next Stamp has their New Release and Blog Hop

starting at 10 pm tonight!

Christmas is just 7 weeks away and YNS has some amazing
new things to help with all your Christmas projects!

Since it is SO hard to wait UNTIL 10 pm, I am happy to give you a sneak peek

and I am showcasing not only a new stamp set but a new die as well!!
The stamp is called Tweet Kindness and I stamped it on our new Drink Tag Die!!

I LOVE this new Drink Tag set and it was SO hard to pick just one thing to use with it! I am in Christmas mode so I wanted to create a tag for a wine bottle gift/thank you. This is a perfect tag to hand around a bottle of wine or sparkling cider and give it as a Hostess gift!

I stamped the image with the Black Olive Preminum Ink and then used clear embossing powder and heat set it. I then coloured the image with Zig Clean Color Markers and a water brush.

Even though I decided to go Christmas with this, the Drink Tag comes with additional dies and you can make these tags all year!!

 Hope you enjoyed this preview and if you would like to see more come back

tonight at 10 p.m

and then join in our Blog Hop!

There are some AWESOME things happening tonight!!!

Have a wonderful day!

Little Tangles Challenge

For this challenge I used the Into The Woods Stamp Set and Celebrate Die Set.

I used my Zig Clean Color markers to colour the images I stamped on Distress Watercolor paper. I added it to this birch die cuts and tree background paper. I then cut out the Celebrate Die and put that on as well.

Entered: Color Challenge #86
