Joy to the World (YNS)

YNS Supplies: Sprinkles Spreading Christmas Cheer, Holly Jolly Sparkly Gumdrops

Other Supplies: Distress Ink Abandoned Coral, Copic Marker, Recollection Heavyweight Cardstock, Brother Scan and Cut, Stampin’ Up! Simply Scored, Versafine Ink, Clear Wink of Stella,

I’m back with these cute bunnies!! I’m taking the new online card class called Holiday Style and Laurie Willison taught us how to have to create crisp texture and I knew I wanted to try it. I love how those lines give the card texture but doesn’t over do it!!

To create this card, I used my Stampin’ Up! Simply Scored to add score lines to the front of my card stock. Then I used Distress Ink Abandoned Coral to add color to the top portion of my card. After that I stamped my sentiments and musical notes using Versafine Ink. After that I stamped my bunny and cut him out with my Brother Scan and Cut. I colored the image with my Copic Markers: C1, C3, R24, R29, R20, R17. Then I popped him up using Stampin’ Up! dimensions. I added the new gumdrops to finish off the card.

Super cute and effective.

Take a look at my second card:

Winter Wonderland (YNS)

YNS: Word Critters-Winter Birds

Other Supplies: Versafine Ink, Brother Scan and Cut, Copic Markers, Pretty Pink Posh Peek-a-boo die

For this card, I used he Peek-a-boo die and cut a window in the center of my card front. Then I stamped my sentiment using the Versafine Ink under the window. Then I stamped, colored and used my Brother Scan and Cut and cut out the bird house and the birds. I adhered my images with foam tape. Super easy to create.

So what do you think? I had so much fun creating these boxes and card to inspire all of you and show you the versatility of the stamp sets! Which one of these items are favorite? I would love to hear from you!

This new release will surly get you ready for Christmas!! You will squeal for joy when you see the new stamps and dies!! My favorite set is Santa’s Helpers and in close second is Sandy Squirrel Autumn Greeting!

YNS Supplies: Sprinkles Hoppy Holidays Stamp Set and Dies, Windows for Waddles Die

Other Supplies: Salty Ocean Distress Ink, Clear Wink of Stella, My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink, Copic Markers, 3M Foam Tape

To create this card, I die cut the Window out of my card panel. Then I stamped the sentiment right underneath the window. After that, I stamped my bunny and colored him in using Copic markers. Then I cut a mask out and cover the bunny up so I could ink the area around him. I masked off the window area on the card base and inked up the window area. I removed the mask and attached the card panel to the card base. I stamped the gifts, colored and fussy cut the gifts out. This set has dies but I didn’t have them so I fussy cut them out. I attached the gift boxes using foam tape.

Nice, easy and cute!!

YNS Supplies: Sandy Autumn Greetings

Other Supplies: Derwant Inktense Pencils, Archival Ink, Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolor Postcard Paper

I told you this was my second favorite stamp set from this release!! I love these squirrels. The funny thing is I do not like squirrels at all. The ones by my house are super crazy and they look at you like you are in there space.

To create this postcard was simple, I stamp the image and then watercolor using my Inktense pencils. My inspiration for the coloring came from this image:

Once it dried, I stamped my sentiment. Then I turned the card over and stamped the acorns and watercolor those too!

Super easy and fun. I love playing with watercolors on this image.

Your Next Stamp Birthday Blog Hop!!!

Posted in August 2015, Your Next Stamp Blog Hop by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! Yayyy, my second blog hop featuring new products from Your Next Stamps tickles me pink!!

If you’ve been hopping along, you would have arrived from Deborah’s blog and if you’d like to start from the beginning, you can click on over to the linky at the bottom and start at Jeanie’s blog.

I’m over the top excited about this birthday blog hop and this great release! All of the sets and dies are amazing!! My favorite one is the Cute Alpha Stamp Set and die! I used that set on one of my cards below.

Are you ready for my big reveal? I made two cards to inspire you!

Take a look at my first card:

I have to admit, I’m not a dog or cat fan. I’m totally afraid of them but this card makes me change my mind for just a minute, LOL. I love the how this card turned out. I also love how this stamp set comes with so many small pieces that can be used for so many different card looks.

YNS Supplies: Phoebe with a Wagon Stamp Set and Die Set

Other Supplies: Neenah Desert Storm Cardstock, Black and White Cardstock

Take a look at my second card:

This is my favorite card. I created this card for my daughters new teacher. It’s a back to school card that my daughter will give to her new teacher. I really thing she will enjoy this.

I love making shaker cards. They are super fun and interactive. For this card I decided that I wanted the entire card to be a shaker card. I created the watercolor panel and didn’t want to add anything to it. So I decided to project it behind the plastic.

Check out my process:

I used Versamark Ink and inked up my entire stamp set without taking the stamps off of the sheet they came on. That allowed me to keep letters and numbers nice and even.

After I stamped onto the watercolor paper, I added embossing powder and heat set it.

I used my paint brush and added a good amount of water to the watercolor paper. Then I added my distress ink colors one at a time to the watercolor paper. I did two watercolor washes, heating setting in between each wash. I totally love how this turned out. How could you add anything directly on top of it? So the only way to decorated it with out touching it was to create a full shaker card.

My daughter did write on the back of the watercolor panel before I sealed it in the plastic. I blocked out both names to protect them. I just wanted you to see what the back looks like.

My daughter loves how this card turned out.

Lets take another look at the card:

YNS Supplies: Phoebe with a Wagon Stamp set and die, Cute Alpha Stamp set

Other Supplies: We R Memory Keepers Tool Bundle, Lucy Abrams Just Peachy Sequin, Copic Markers R27, Y17, C3, Vellum, Versamark Ink, Hero Arts White Embossing Powder

So what do you think? I had so much fun creating these cards to inspire all of you and show you the versatility of the stamp sets! Which one of these cards are favorite? I would love to hear from you!
