It's Release Day at Your Next Stamp, and the celebration is happening over on Instagram!

    

I've done some more "no-line" coloring on today's card featuring Cloud Fun. This is my favorite set from the release!!

      

    

I stamped the cute little pig with Almond Latte Ink and colored him in with Copics. The facial features are enhanced with a black colored pencil.

  

   

The sentiment is stamped in Black Olive Ink, and the cloud-like letters colored in with a white colored pencil.

One of the new stamp sets being featured today is called Spring Cat, and I love it!

   

   

I stamped the image with Almond Latte Ink, and colored it with Copics. The "no-line" technique gives it such a soft, pretty look.

    

  

I've also used the YNS Stitched Rectangle Die Set, YNS Stitched Square Die Set, and coordinating Spring Cat Outline Die.

I skipped adding a sentiment for now, but finished it off with a couple of Vintage Holiday Gumdrops and some Burlap String.

It's Release Week at Your Next Stamp!

The next 3 days will be packed with cuteness, inspiration, and giveaways!

Each preview day we are giving away the stamp sets being previewed. Then on Thursday (Release Day!) we are hosting an Instagram Hop and giving away 3 $20.00 YNS gift certificates!

Are you ready??

   

I have made my first ever mini-slimline card, and oh my!! I'm hooked!! The size of a typical slimline card intimidates me... so much space!

But, how CUTE is this little 3x6 card?!

    

    

That adorable fluffly pup is from a new set called Fuzzy Monsters.

I used the Checkered Edge Stamp with Holly Berry Red Ink, and cut out two strips with the smallest die from the new Slimline Stitched Rectangles Die Set... it's the perfect size to embellish a mini-slimline!!

    

  

The pup is colored with Copics (notice his matching checkered bandana?!), cut out with the coordinating Fuzzy Monsters Outline Die, and popped up next to the sentiment.

     

   

Fur - E31, E30, E50

Ears, Eye - E27, E25, E23, E31

Cheeks - R20

Nose - T8, T6, T4, T2

After looking back at my last several cards, I seem to be in a bit of a polka dot rut!

I LOVE polka dots, but I'll try to give you more variety going forward!!

  

I've got another Masked Munchkin from Tiddly Inks to share today.

   

  

Isn't this little guy adorable??

I've colored him with Copics, and added some "furry" texture by dabbing at the bear costume with a washcloth soaked in Blender Solution.  I love this technique!

The edges of the papers are inked with Antique Linen Distress Ink.

   

   

Skin - E11, E00, E000, E0000, R30, R000

It's time for a new challenge at Your Next Stamp!

This time we want to see a sentiment be the focal point.

   

I love the new Hugs Word Die, and this was the perfect project to showcase it!

  

   

I cut the word "HUGS" out twice... once in black cardstock, and once with an aqua color that matches my patterned paper. Then I adhered the aqua letters on top of the black, just slightly offset. 

      

  

The rest of the sentiment is from the Holiday Hugs Stamp Set, and is stamped onto the aqua cardstock with Versafine Onyx Ink.

All the elements are popped up with foam tape for added dimension.

    

   

I love the way this turned out!

    

Now it's your turn!
