It's time for week two of challenge inspiration at Your Next Stamp!!

Check out this fabulous sketch and color combo...

   

  

  

   

I used the sketch this week... I love the simplicity of this one, and will probably use it again!

  

I colored up this silly duck named Quackers. I just adore him!!

He is stamped with YNS Black Olive Ink and colored with Copics. I paired him with some Doodlebug Paper, and inked the edges with YNS Pumpkin Orange Ink. I added a couple of Neon Sunrise Gumdrops to frame the sentiment, and popped Quackers up on a Stitched Rectangle Die... I trimmed the top and bottom stitches off to fit the card.

Unfortunately, poor Quackers had to have his eyebrows amputated in the process of fussy cutting! I just couldn't figure out how to keep them!

I colored up one of the super cute Meowy's for my clean and simple card. The Doodlebug Kitten Smitten paper is the PURRR-fect match, don't you think? :)

  

   

I used a little scrap of embroidery floss to look like yarn hanging across the card, then cut out and popped up a second set of paws to go over the string.

It's time for the December Release Previews at C.C. Designs!!

 

I am SOOOO NOT ready for Christmas to be less than a month away! Trying very hard not to panic about how unprepared I am!! Today's project is a perfect little treat for someone like me, who is feeling a tad overwhlemed!

   

   

How CUTE is this little guy enjoying his donut!? He is from the new Roberto's Rascals set called Breakfast. I colored him up with Copics, paired him with some Doodlebug paper scraps, and added a computer generated sentiment. The tag base is cut from the C.C. Cutters Make-a-Tag Die Set, and the lovely shape my image is popped up on, is from the new C.C. Cutters Shapers #2 Die Set.

Hi crafty friends!!

This month has been a bit hectic, and I have a few posts to catch up on here to share with you what I've created this month!

 

As for today, it's our Monthly Feature at Your Next Stamp, and it's all about

TAGS!!

 

I decided to make some super simple tags... very easy to replicate to make a BUNCH all at once. No Copic coloring on these, I wanted to show off the fabulous new Winter Plaids Paper Pad!!

  

  

I'm loving the gorgeous colors and patterns in this paper pad! And the NEW Holly Berry Red Ink Pad is a PERFECT match!!! Love it!

I cut my tags out using the Cool Tag Three Die Set, and tied on some rbbon and twine.

   

  

That's it... they are ready to be tied onto some pretty packages! :)

Check out the tags the rest of the Design Team has created over on the YNS Blog!

  

Thanks for stopping by!!

I have two fun stamp sets to share with you today, and there's a lot more to see along the hop, so let's get right to it!

  

First up, the adorable Waddles is back this month having some fun in the Waddles Winter Happiness set. I used the skiing waddles to create a little scene on my card. I've also featured the Double Stitched Hills Dies and the NEW Winter Scene Die Set for the trees. The edges of the trees are inked with Olive Green Ink to make them stand out a bit against the background.
