Your Next Stamp November 2015 Sneak Peek

Posted in November 2015, Your Next Stamp Sneak Peek by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m back again for this month’s Your Next Stamp Sneak Peek!

I have a confession to make, I made my card, turned it in to the team and totally forgot to do my blog post! I’m writing this on my train ride to work, so some elements will not be present. I promise to add my step by step directions and links to my supplies later today!! Please forgive me.

We are getting ready for our November Release Blog Hop tomorrow with a sneak peek today. Are you excited? I am!!

Take a look at my card that I’m giving you a sneak peek of:

YNS Supplies: Merry Chris-Moose Stamp Set, Double Stitched Hills Due Set and the new Gumdrops

Other Supplies: Recolletions Heavyweight Cardstock, Wendy Veechi Embossing Paste, Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow Stencil, 3M Foam Tape, My Favorite Thing Hybrid Ink, Copic markers, Distress Ink Fadded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire, Brother Scan and Cut

Can you tell that I have a love for that falling snow? I love how it makes my Christmas cards look so very real!! The texture and dimension amazes me each and every time!

I shared my process on Instagram yesterday and everyone was in awe.

First I shared my coloring process:

I was having a hard time deciding what colors to use on my moose so I turned to my Facebook Copic Group for some suggestions. I recieved some great combos.

Once my coloring was done, I needed to finish the rest of my card. I recieved plenty of questions regarding the snow on my cards, so here’s how I add it:

It’s quite easy, all I did was place my stencil on top of my card panel with tape. Then I used a palette knife and scooped up some of that embossing paste. I spread the paste over the stencil where I wanted the snow to appear.

Moving quickly because that embossing will ruin the stencil if it dries on it. You must wash that paste off your stencil immediately after using it!

Once the paste dried, I popped my cut out moose in the center.

The finally step was to pop up my die cut image to the front of the card base using foam tape.

Super fun, I tell you. This is one of my favorite stamp set for this release!!
So are you excited about what you see? You have to see what my fellow team members came up with the rest of the release!

I hope I see all of you tomorrow for the November 2015 Release Hop!!

Oh man creating this card was so much fun! I initial colored this image for Kathy from The Daily Markers 30 Coloring Challenge as a sneak peek before the sneak peek and shared it on Instagram. The response was amazing, 218 likes!!

So I knew I need to really get it on a card!! I love how it turned out. It looks better in person.

Here is how I created this card:

I stamped the YNS Santa’s Helpers image on Canson watercolor paper using Archival Ink because its waterproof.
Then I watercolored the image using the Derwert Inktense Pencils.
After coloring the image in, I used YNS Santa’s Helpers Die set and die cut the image out.
I taped down the Neenah Desert Storm cardstock and the Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow Stencil down to my table and applied the Wendy Veechi Embossing Paste onto the cardstock.
I lifted the stencil and add the Ranger Distress Glitter on top of the paste.
Then I stamped my sentiment onto the card base.

Your Next Stamp July 2015 Sneak Peek

Posted in July 2015, Your Next Stamp Sneak Peek by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! This is my first post as a Your Next Stamp Design Team member!! I’m over the top excited about this opportunity.

We are getting ready for our July Release Blog Hop tomorrow with a sneak peek today. Are you excited? Well me too!!

Take a look at my card that I’m giving you a sneak peek of:

I couldn’t resist making a shaker card with this super stamp set!! Shaker cards are so much fun to make and this heart called for it.

This stamp set is called Waddles Rainbow Fun and there are 15 clear stamps in this set.

I actually cut that heart out using and old fashion craft knife because I didn’t get the die set in time. That was fun and back to the basics.

How did I create this card:

1. I cut my base cardstock to an A2 size card, 4.25 x 5.50. I cut the white cardstock to 4 x 5.50. I cut the pink cardstock to 3.75 x 5.50.

2. I used the cloud stamp and stamped a few clouds using Versamark Ink eyeballing where I wanted to stamp my hot air balloon.

3. I stamped my sentiment using My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink to the left of where I wanted my hot air balloon to be.

4. I finally stamped my hot air balloon using My Favorite Things Hybrid Ink on the right of the sentiment.

5. I use my craft knife to cut out the stamped heart. I positioned my pink panel over the white panel so I could stamp the sentiment within the heart shape.

6. I created my shaker pocket and added Lucy Adams Cherry Blossom Sequin before sealing the pocket up.

If you want step by step instruction on to create a shaker pocket click here.

7. I added the shaker pocket to the pink panel. Then I added foam tape to the entire panel so that its raised off the white cardstock.

8. I decided to not color my image because I loved the simplicity of the card.

So are you excited about what you see? You have to see what my fellow team members came up with the rest of the release!

I hope I see all of you tomorrow for the July 2015 Release Hop!!
