It's time for a sneak peek of the April New Release at Your Next Stamp!

 

I've used a couple of new sets on my card today... the sentiment is from Whatnot Sentiments #13 and is definitely a must-have! I love how the phrases are separate so you can piece together the perfect sentiment!

And those itty bitty dragonflies... they are some of the cute little extra images you get with the new Wishing Well Fairy set. SO FUN!!

  

   

I sponged some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink for the background color, and embossed the parts of the sentiment on the black cardstock. The little buggies are colored with Copics, and popped up around the sentiment.

  

 

Bug Body - YG17, TG25, YG03, YG01

Head on over to the YNS Blog to enjoy the rest of the sneak peeks from the team!

 

I'll see you back here at 11am EST on Thursday for the big Hop!

Thanks for visiting!!

  

 

Another new challenge starts at Your Next Stamp today!

We are looking for anything with PASTELS!

  

I went with a soft shade of pink for my card using paper from the Sweet Baby 6x6 Pad, paired with a cute lamb from the So Ewe-nique Stamp Set.

   

   

This little lamb is actually juggling Easter Eggs, but I just fussy cut those out, and put little hearts in their place, cut from the Heart Border Die. It's a great example of how versatile this set is!!

I sponged some Spun Sugar Distress Ink behind the image, and combined a couple of sentiments from the set, along with the Fancy Sweet Die. 

    

  

I even added some detail to the inside of the card this time... something I always neglect! This sentiment is also from the So Ewe-nique set, with a few more hearts underneath, and still plenty of room to write a message!

  

And here's a close up of the adorable little lamb...

When I saw the current MFT Color Challenge, I was totally inspired!! What an awesome color combo!

  

  

I colored up this sweet little Pure Innocence Birthday Girl (hmmm... looks like she may be retired?) And, I can't help it, I always want to paper-piece the clothes on these characters... they're like little paper dolls! :) I used papers from the Doodlebug Swiss Dots 6x6 Pad.

  

   

She is colored with Copics, and I added a little bit of sparkle to her balloon using my Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen.

I'm sharing a little something I made with the newly released goodies from Your Next Stamp... I couldn't wait to color up one of the cute little lambs from the So Ewe-nique set!

    

This lamb peeking out of the flower pot is my favorite from the set! I colored her up to match some paper from the Happy Spring 6x6 Paper Pad, then popped her up on a large Circle Die next to this fun sentiment! I donated ALL of my handmade cards before we moved, so I need to rebuild my stash... especially birthdays and thank you's!

I'm crazy about these new stickers images from Tiddly Inks! I've got a bunch on my desk right now... they are quick and easy to color up!

This little fairy is from the Little Valentine's Royal Fun Sticker Set. I colored her to go along with the Succulent Hues Challenge over on the Tiddly Inks Blog...

 

  

The floral paper is from the Doodlebug Sweet Things 6x6 Pad. I used my Lawn Fawn Puffy Cloud Border Dies to frame in the image and cute sentiment from the Stampendous Life Words set.  The image is finished off with a little bit of Stardust Stickles.
