All Spooky at YNS!

   

Good Morning And Welcome to a 
Challenge Day
from Your Next Stamp!

The Challenge for this week is:
  Midnight - dark background, nighttime skies, spooky Halloween

Here is my card I made and I used the stamp set called Spooky Fun!

I made a shaker card for this Challenge! I stamped the little spider and coloured it with Copic markers.
 I then cut it out a circle border with the Stitched Circle Frame Die, backed it with some acetate sheet and turned it into a shaker. (I put some sequins in!) 
Then I added a few gumdrops to the bottom!

You can find ALL the products HERE at Your Next Stamp.

Tuesday Throwdown!

    


Good Morning!
Today, YNS is a sponsor for the 
Tuesday Throwdown Challenge!

The theme of the Challenge is: Funny Sentiment

For my card, stamped the little hedgie (from the Coffee Characters Stamp Set) on Copic paper and coloured him with Copic markers. Then I heat embossed the sentiment twice on to some cardstock and layered everything! The papers are from the Tropical Island Paper Pad. and I added some bling using the Celebration Sparkly Gumdrops.



Thanks for looking!

Have a great day!

World Mental Health Day Blog Hop

   


Good Morning!
Today, YNS is a sponsor for the 
World Mental Health Day
Blog Hop!
This is an Instagram Hop running from October 10-20th, 2020.

Theme of the Hop: Creating Art can keep the mind sharp as well as help in stressful and difficult situations.....so "Art for Your Mind".
Basically, make something Happy or Positive! 
For my card, I cut the yellow cardstock using the Sunburst Panel Die, and then I backed it with some paper from the Hugs and Kisses Paper Pad. Then I heat embossed the sentiment in gold embossing powder. This sentiment is from the stamp set called: Positive Affirmations.
Then I cut out all the little hearts using the Heart Panel Die. (SO easy!)

Here are what some of the products look like:


For the Hop: You can take the following Interpretations as examples of the theme.
1. Something that makes you happy, forget your problems and helps you relax.
2. Art in relation to Mental Health
3. Basically a positive inspirational card would be fine.

This is an Instagram hop open internationally.
The hop will run from 10th October to 20th October, 2020.

We are Hoppin' at YNS!


Welcome to the September 2020
NEW RELEASE AND INSTAGRAM HOP
from Your Next Stamp!

The card I made for you today features a new set called: Autumn Milk Cans and it is SO pretty! 
I made a card for the preview with this set and I love how you can layer all the images to get a really pretty scene.

I stamped the flower image first , masked it and then stamped the milk can on top. This was all done on Copic paper and then I coloured it with Copic markers. I did some highlighting with some Prismacolor pencils and a white pen, stamped the sentiment and put it behind a frame. The frame was cut with the Rectangle Scallop Frame Die. Then I layered the frame onto some patterned paper from the Fabulous Fall paper pad and a Kraft card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

WELCOME to Day TWO of the
Your Next Stamp SEPTEMBER 2020 PREVIEWS!

This set is perfect for the fall months and it called Happy Fall Ya'll! 
 
Can I tell you, I am in LOVE with this little turkey!!!!

I stamped the turkey onto some Copic paper and coloured it using Copic markers. Then I cut him out using the matching dies and stamped the little sentiment on the sign. I then cut out a circle and added the stitching lines on some Kraft cardstock. For the background, I used some Distress Oxide inks, white watercolour paint and some sparkle Nuvo pen. I layered everything together, stamped the Happy Thanksgiving sentiment and popped up the turkey using foam squares.
