Its all Spring at Your Next Stamp!

  


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 Spring Smiles and it is absolutely adorable!


I started by stamping the image onto some Copic cardstock and colouring it with my Copic markers. Then I did a bit of highlighting in white and cut it out using the matching dies and the Scalloped Circle Die.
I layered everything onto some cardstock and patterned paper from the Happy Spring Paper Pad and then added some Pink Pizzaz gumdrops.

All the supplies can be found at YNS and while you are there check out all the wonderful new releases!
And follow me on Instagram at @sue.th

Coffee Lovers Unite!!

 


Its my favourite time of year again!
Time for the Spring/Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop!

Your Next Stamp is an AWESOME sponsor of this Hop and today I am sharing 
a card I created using the COFFEE CUTIES Stamp and Die Set.

I stamped the image onto some watercolour paper and coloured it with my Daniel Smith watercolors. Then I cut it out using the matching dies. For the base I covered half of it in patterned paper and then cut some kraft with the Curved Scallop Edge Die.
Lastly, I added some of my favourite Gumdrops!
 These ones are called The Perfect Blend. (Perfect for this Hop, right?)

Your Next Stamp is a Super Sponsor of this event, AND
you can join in all the fun HERE!
The Hop runs from March 19th to the 26th!

Thanks for looking and Happy Hopping!

Cool Inspiration Day at YNS!

    

Good Morning And Welcome to a 
Challenge Day
from Your Next Stamp!
Today we are challenging you to a "Cool Inspiration" Project!
and here is the picture for some inspiration!

For my card I went with the stamp set called Happy Cat. I am pairing this stamp set with the gift card Holder Die set, the matching dies and some gumdrops! 
This is the front of the gift card holder which I cut out using the perfect die set. It was SO easy! You just glue it in two spots! I covered the holder with some patterned paper, stamped the cat onto some Copic paper, coloured it and cut it out. (Using the perfect matching dies!) Then I stamped the sentiment and added some gumdrops.

For the inside, I also layered some patterned paper and cardstock and stamped the little gift card image.
There! All done!

You can find ALL the sets HERE.

March Previews at YNS!!

   


WELCOME to Day TWO of the
Your Next Stamp MARCH 2021 Previews!!

We are showcasing the all new March stamp and dies all this week with 
a Instagram Hop on Thursday!


For my Sneak Peek, I am using the new stamp set called 
Happy Purrr-thday!! Along with this gorgeous set I am also using the brand new Slim Stitched Rectangle Dies!

Can I tell you I absolutely LOVE these!! 
Slimline cards are really fun to make!

I stamped the images on Nina White paper and coloured it with Copic markers. Next, I highlighted some of the parts with Novo glitter markers and a White Gel pen. Then I used the slim line dies cut the rectangles out and mounted it on some patterned papers and a cardstock base.

I also made another card using another AMAZING die in this release called 
the Geometric Panel Die. It too is a slimline die and was really fun to work with!

I cut the cardstock using the new die and put some silver glittered paper behind it. Then I used the HUGS die (twice for thickness) and embellished with some gumdrops.

And here are the sets!
