The September New Release will be available in the YNS Store at 11am EST!!

  

I've got one final preview to share with you before the new release is live...

This cute bear is from the Silly Fun Birthday set.

  

  

I've colored him with Copics to match paper from the Birthday Boy 6x6 Paper Pad. The sentiment is stamped with Black Olive Ink on vellum, and the edges are cut with the Wonky Scallop Edge Die to create a cloud behind the bear.

The countdown to the September New Release is underway at Your Next Stamp!

The previews continue through September 12th. On the 12th at 11 am the new release arrives in the YNS store and you can shop, shop, shop!!!

 

We are on Day 5 of previews, and I'm featuring a fast favorite... Latte Happy Vibes! Coffee AND donuts?!? Yes, please!!!

  

 

I chose to feature just one of the cute little donuts from the set... I started by stamping it multiple times with Versamark Ink on the kraft background, and then once on my 80# Hammermill Color Copy Cover, and colored it with Copics. I cut it out using the coordinating Latte Happy Vibes Die Set, and popped it up in a frame cut from the Stitched Square Frame Die Set.

   

My daughter has been crafting away as well... we found a cute little sewing kit at the local thrift store (brand new for $1!) and she's been stitching up a bunch of these adorable "foodies".

 

I created my card to match her sweet donut, and thought it would make a fun gift set for one of her friends or teachers.

  

  

Donut - E43, E42, E41

Frosting - R81, RV10, RV00, RV000

Sprinkles - RV66, RV63, YR15, Y21, BG45

Today, I'm joining a group of super talented crafty ladies to help celebrate our friend Danni's 50th Birthday!

The hop starts over on Danni's Blog, so if you've been following along, you should have arrived here from Shirley's Blog.

  

I've made a clean and simple card using Tiddly Inks Dandelion Pixie. She's so cute hanging onto that giant dandelion! Not a typical birthday image, but I thought the sentiment tied it all together!

I printed the image onto kraft cardstock, and colored her with my Prismacolor Pencils. Then I added a TON of glitter to the dandelion... fitting for the sentiment!

  

   

Here is a closer look at all the sparkle!

  

  

Skin - Nectar, Peach, Light Peach, White, Blush Pink, Rose

Hair - Dark Umber, Dark Brown, Chocolate, Light Umber, Gingerroot

Dress - Black, Violet, Parma Violet, Lilac, White

Dandelion - Cool Grey 50%, Cool Grey 20%, Cool Grey 10%, White

It's the first Tuesday of the month, and that means it's time for a new Tiddly Inks Challenge!

This time, we've got a super fun game of Tic-Tac-Toe!

  

  

Whichever line you choose, be sure to cross through the middle and use a Tiddly Inks image!

   

I've gone straight done the middle column for my card using an oldie but a cutie, Little Bugg.

  

  

I thought she would look cute paper-pieced to match this ladybug print paper from Doodlebug!

I used my nifty Tim Holtz Distressing Tool to rough up just the edges of the ladybug paper. Then I added twine, a heart die cut, and some glitter to her wings to finish it all off!

The sentiment is from a YNS set called Bugs and Kisses.

   

  

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

Hair - E59, E27, E25, E23

Wings - BG000, BG0000

Thanks for stopping by!

  

  

It's time for a new challenge over on the YNS Blog and this one is all about saying Thank You!

 

It's always good to add Thank You cards to my stash! This one features a sweet butterfly from the Spread Your Wings stamp set, and a sentiment from Phoebe and Pets. The layers were cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies and Stitched Ovals Dies.

  

   

I added a little bit of glitter to the wings, and finished the card off with some burlap twine.

   

  

Copics:

Body - T7, T5, T3, T2

Wings - YR04, Y38, Y35, Y32 and Y17, Y15, Y13, Y11
