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.

Holly Berry Circle Die from YNS!

Welcome to the last day of the 
Christmas Release and Spotlight 2021!

For this card I am using the Holly Berry Circle Die!
This is a gorgeous die begging to be paper pieced…and that is what I did with it!
I cut the die with white and then green cardstock and paper pieced all the little Holly leaves into the circle spaces. Then I used some stickles for the berries. For the Merry a Christmas I cut it out of glitter paper and then again with white cardstock and layered them to give a more 3D effect. To finish it off I layered glitter white cardstock and regular,at and layer the circle on top!

Gnome Christmas at YNS!

Welcome to the DAY THREE of the 
Christmas Release and Spotlight 2021!


For my first cards I used the new stamp set called Home Sweet Gnome. How cute is this set ?!



For these cards  I  stamped the images onto some Copic paper and then used my Copic markers to colour them. Then I layered them onto some cardstock bases and papers from the Holiday Joy paper pad. To finish them off I stamped the little sentiments and highlighted some of the house with a white gel pen.



For my third card I used the brand new Holly Berry Circle Die! I cut it several times from white, red and green to start. Then I layered two of the circles and paper pieced it with all the little Holly. Then I used some Stickles for the berries and cut the Merry Christmas die with some glitter paper.
