All about Pets at YNS!

Good Morning And Welcome to a 

Challenge Day

from Your Next Stamp!

Today we are all about PETS!

We have always had a dog as a pet and I thought this little dog would be perfect for this Challenge! It comes from the Paw-liday Pups Set!

I started by using the new Paw Print Stencil and some Distress ink to create a background on the cream coloured paper. Then I stamped the little dog onto some Copic paper and coloured it with Copic markers.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment with Versafine and adhered everything onto some textured cardstock.

Its all Sparkle and Shine at YNS!

Good Morning And Welcome to a 

Challenge Day

from Your Next Stamp!

Today we are having a SPARKLE AND SHINE DAY!

I am in full blown Christmas card production so this was a perfect challenge for me and I was very excited to use one of the newer stencils for this!

I used the Geo Fun Stencil and ink blended a bunch of greens on it. Then I used my clear texture paste and smeared a layer over top and then pealed off the stencil. White it was still wet it sprinkle some fine gold glitter in several places over top and set it aside to dry.

After the panel was dry I trimmed it up, wrapped it with some velum and added snowflakes and the Merry Christmas sentiment. Lastly, I added some gumdrops and adhered it to a black card base.

Facing our Fears today!

Good Morning And Welcome to a 

Challenge Day

from Your Next Stamp!

Today we are challenging you to the theme:

Face Your Fears!

I thought about my fear of spiders....but I don't own any sets with spiders!

SO, I went it a bit of a different direction! I recently got a set a Karin watercolour markers and they are really different than my usual brand and I wasn't sure I actually liked used them. 

So, my fear was to create a project using the markers for a design team task and to just run with it!

I stamped the little glass onto some watercolour paper and cut it out using the Stitched Line Dies .hen I coloured it using my Karin Markers and a water brush. When it was dry I layered it onto of papers from the Watermelon Party Paper Pad and stamped the sentiment.

World Cardmaking Day!

 This weekend I am having an amazing time at the Crop and Create

delivered Weekend where I am making a ton of cards and learning so many neat techniques!

I have found during COVID that is has been harder and harder to get motivated and creative and this has kind of kick started me again!

I created this card after being inspired from Gina K on her FB video!

I learned her masking technique and paired it with all the stencils I have hidden away in a drawer! Lol

Love this idea and will probably be making a whole bunch of these!

Happy Cardmaking Day!

Sue

Wheelie Fun day!!

Good Morning!

Today is my special release day where I will showcase one of the awesome

 new stamp sets just released from Your Next Stamp

The set I am using is called Wheelie Fun and it is very sweet!

I started by stamping the bear onto some watercolour paper and colouring it with my Zig Clean Color Markers. Then I stamped the saying with some Versafine ink. I cut a border out using the Rectangle Scallop Frame  and inset the bear image I just coloured. Then I adhered it to some patterned paper from the Birthday Boy Paper Pad and a cardstock base.

Here's a close up of the bear!

All the supplies can be found at YNS and while you are there check out all the wonderful new releases!
