"Toad"ally Awesome!
It's time for a new challenge at Your Next Stamp!!
Check out this fun sketch...
...and this AWESOME color combo...
I love these colors together!! And I even had the most perfect patterned paper from the Pebbles Family Ties 6x6 pad to represent the colors!
I used a sentiment from the Froggie Love Stamp Set as the center focal point of the card, and added the cute little frog from the Gardening Phoebe Stamp Set as an embellishment. The blue layer was cut using the Stitched Square Die Set, and I added stitches to the patterned paper using the Tiny Stitches Stitched Line Die.

C.C. Designs May 2016 New Release!!
Today is RELEASE DAY at C.C. Designs for all of the new MAY products!! As you have seen from the Preview Days, all of these products are so FUN and ADORABLE! For the month of May, we have 6 adorable character stamps and 1 new paper pad....so exciting as always!!
I colored up the sweet Little Pixie Star for my card today in a patriotic theme! My daugher said she looks like she could be Captain America's little girl! :)
The papers are from the Doodlebug Patriotic Picnic pad, and I've inked the edges with Memento Paris Dusk Ink. The main image was cut out with my C.C. Cutters Circle Dies, and popped up in the center of the card. It's pretty hard to tell in the photo, but I covered the stars with Doodlebug Lily White Glitter.It's so sparkly in real life!

YNS DT Dare - Stripes!
Today's the day we share our monthly Design Team Dare with you at Your Next Stamp!
This month, we were dared to make something with
STRIPES!
I went with a CAS card using some stripey paper and the new Little Notes Stamp and Die Sets. I scattered a few Hey Baby Sparkly Gumdrops around, hoping they would give it the look of raindrops! The blue striped layer is cut with the Stitched Rectangles Die Set, and I added the stitched border to the white panel with the Tiny Stitches Stitched Line Die.
Supplies: Hammermill White 80# CS, Wausau Black 80# CS, Doodlebug Snips and Snails 6x6 Pad, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink,
FOam Tape, YNS Stitched Rectangle Dies, YNS Tiny Stitched Line Die, YNS Hey Baby SParkly Gumdrops
That's all for today!
Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Your Next Stamp May 2016 New Release
Welcome to the YNS New Release Blog Hop!!!
We've got a lot of fun new goodies to show off... stamps, dies, and 3 yummy new sets of Gumdrops!
For my first card, I used the new From My Garden stamp set and coordinating die. I suffer from extreme seasonal allergies, so I have a difficult time enjoying any outdoor activities, but oh how I dream of gardening!
I paired this beautiful image with some papers from the Echo Park Splendid Sunshine 6x6 pad, and colored it with Copics to match. It is cut out and popped up on a Circle Die that has been sponged with Palette Ballet Blue Ink and Antique Linen Distess Ink.
Copics:
Basket - E44, E43, E42, E41
Carrots - YR18, YR15, YR12
Tomato - R29, R27, R24, R22
Pepper - Y17, Y15, Y13, Y11
Greens - YG67, YG63, YG61 and YG97, YG95, YG93, YG91
Up next is my very favorite set from this whole release... Keepin' it Reel. I have lots of memories of fishing with my dad as a kid, and now my own kiddos get to make those memories with him, too. I am thinking it will be a fun set to use to create some scrapbook pages with, but for today's sample, I created a card with a fun little scene...
I've used the Puffy Cloud Border Die Set as a stencil to sponge the clouds with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink in the backgound, and added some grass with the Chunky Grass Border Die. My images are cut out with the Keepin' It Reel Die Set, and popped up to complete the scene.
Copics:
Skin - E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R30
