YNS SWEET Sneak Peek!
It's time!!!
The beginning of each month is always so exciting with new releases popping up! Tomorrow is our New Release Blog Hop at Your Next Stamp, but this is an extra special release, because we are also celebrating Your Next Stamp's BIRTHDAY!!
We are kicking off our celebration with some sneaky peeks of some of the new goodies... today I'm sharing Coco Sweet Treats.

How fun is this set!?!
Can I be honest... what sold me on this set was that teeny tiny smiley face gumball! It's just the cutest thing!!
I colored up Coco and the lollipop this time... I love the optional face for the lollipop! It looks like it is being tickled by Coco's licks! I whipped up a pretty simple card using my YNS Circles Dies, Stitching Marks Circle Dies, and Stitched Rectangles Dies.
Supplies: Hammermill White CS, Bazzill Watermelon Sensation CS, Doodlebug Sweet Shop 6x6, Ribbon, Copics

Doodle Dragon & by DIEzyne Release Blog Hop!

We are excited to announce the third release from By DIEzyne Dies and Doodle Dragon. We are celebrating this weekend on Passionate Paper Creations and Friends Facebook Group and C.C. Designs Facebook Group.
We are kicking everything off with a really big blog hop!
For my card, I colored up the new Warm Wishes monster... even though he looks like he's prepared for winter, I created a Halloween-ish card with him! After coloring his fur with Copics, I dabbed it with a washcloth soaked in Copic Blender Solution to add a little bit of a fuzzy texture.
I paired him with the new by DIEzyne Card DIEzyne #1... the stitched edges go perfectly with the Stitched Circles Dies. The sentiment is from the new Boo Sentiments Set.

It's RELEASE DAY at C.C. Designs!!!
The Halloween releases are always some of my favorites, and this one is no exception! So many of the images will work for more than just Halloween... gotta love a versatile stamp!
I've used the adorable new Monster Eli for my card today. Fun fact: did you know the Eli character was named after my son? My little guy loves "his" stamp and had a very specific request as to how it should be colored... he even colored an example for me so I wouldn't get it wrong. ;)
Here is my card inspired by his color choices... the googlie eyes were my idea, and he approved! ;)

EEK!!
It's not too early for Halloween cards, is it?!
Considering I made a Christmas card just a couple of weeks ago, probably not!
The inspiration for this card actually came from the current sketch challenge at Your Next Stamp.

Those corner embellishments had me thinking spiderwebs!!
I used the web and spider stamps from the Halloween Cuties set, and added a little hand-drawn web for the spider to hang from. The sentiment is from the Ghostly Greetings set, stamped in French Lilac Palette Ink, and covered in sparkles with my Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen. I doodled some borders, and added some Black Gumdrops to finish it off.
Supplies: Hammermill White CS, Wausau Black CS, Doodlebug Kraft in Color 6x6, Versafine Onyx Ink,
French Lilac Palette Ink, Copic Black Multiliner, YNS Black Gumdrops, Wink of Stella Glitter Pen, Pop Dots
The challenge is open for one more week, so you have lots of time to play along!

Dear Summer...
...when I think of you, I imagine long camping trips, enjoying the great outdoors, becoming one with nature...
NOT!

Today is our monthly feature day at Your Next Stamp, and our theme is "Dear Summer". We were asked to create something that speaks of summer to us, and while I am most likely to be inside, in the air conditioning, avoiding dirt and allergens, I have a cute outdoorsy card if you're into that sort of thing! :)
I colored up the bunny from the Woodland Cuties set, and paired it with paper from the Doodlebug Happy Camper 6x6 pad. The bunny is popped up on a cut from the YNS Circles Die Set, and I also used two different sized cuts from Fishtail/Banner Die Set One on the card.
Supplies: Hammermill White CS, Neenah Desert Storm CS, Bazzill Mocha Divine CS, Doodlebug Happy Camper 6x6,
Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, YNS Fishtail/Banner Die Set One, YNS Circles Die Set, Foam Adhesive, Burlap Twine, Copics
Copics:
Bunny - E43, E42, E41, E40
Ears, Nose - R20, R30, R000
Be sure to head over to the YNS Blog to see what the rest of the team came up with to represent their favorite (or maybe not-so-favorite!) summer activity.
And while you're there, be sure to leave a comment for your chance to win a YNS stamp set of YOUR choice!!!
