Your Next Stamp - Fun Friday Project

Good morning and happy Halloween everyone!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for the Fun Friday Challenge over on the Your Next Stamps Challenge Blog.

This cute little penguin is from the Waddles - Snow Fun! stamp set.  If you haven't checked out this set, you really need to - lots of adorable penguin images and great sentiments to go along with them!  I colored this image with copics and then cut him out using the Waddles - Snow Fun! Die Set.  The snowflakes are from the Winter Fun Tag Die Set.  I also used some yummy gumdrops on my card.  I used a Wink of Stella clear glitter pen on his hat and the snow for some sparkle, and added some Glossy Accents to his beak and feet. 

To enter the challenge you need to follow the sketch and/or the inspiration photo.  Be sure to stop by the Your Next Stamp Challenge Blog to find the challenge details and to see the amazing work by the DT! 

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs, Anita

7KCF & Lawn Fawn

Good morning everyone!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for a post over on the 7KCF Blog. 

I decided I need to make a few fall cards so I pulled out this So Thankful clear stamp and the coordinating So Thankful Custom Die Cut from Lawn Fawn.  I colored the pumpkins with copics and then die cut them.  I also glued on small bows made of twine.  I thought this fall paper from Carta Bella would be perfect for my fall card.

Your Next Stamp's Design Team Series

Happy Monday!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  The Your Next Stamp design team members are sharing some of their creative processes this month over on the Your Next Stamp Blog.  

Today was my turn on the YNS Blog and I created a couple of cards using the fabulous Your Next Stamp October release.  

This first card uses the new Waddles - Snow Fun! stamps and the coordinating Waddles - Snow Fun! Die Set.  The images in this set are adorable and I know I'm going to be reaching for these stamps and dies often!  The tag is from the Winter Fun Tag Die Set.  The sentiment on my card is from the Whatknot Sentiments Set Three set.  There are lots of fabulous sentiments included in this set!    

My next card features dies from Your Next Stamp.  I seldom make cards that don't require any coloring so this was out of my comfort zone, but I like the way it turned out.  I used the new Winter Fun Tag Die Set but instead of die-cutting the tag, I used the die-cut sentiment that comes in the set.  I used the Jingle Bell Border Die to cut the string of bells from some gold glitter paper.  Then I snipped one little jingle bell from the string and added it to the bottom of my card. 

Be sure to stop by the Your Next Stamp Blog each Monday to find out more about the design team members and their creative spaces!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Good morning and welcome to our Your Next Stamp October release After Party!!!  The team is back today to share even more inspiration with these fabulous new stamps and dies.

For today's card I used the sweet Waddles - Snow Fun! clear stamp set.  I colored these cuties with copics and then added some glitter to the wings and little hat.  I cut the image out using the coordinating Waddles - Snow Fun! Die Set.  I also added some Green Apple and Pink Lemonade Glittered Gumdrops.

Girl's Night Out!

Good morning everyone.  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  Today I'm sharing a card using one of the adorable Art Impression Halloween stamps.

This little witch is Girl's Night Out!  After I stamped the image, I masked her and then stenciled some purple clouds.  I colored her with copics and colored pencils.  The fun papers are by Doodlebug Designs - I always love their bright Halloween dp.  I added a diecut star, seam binding bow, and some silver sequins to give it some sparkle.  This was a quick & easy Halloween card!  Art Impressions has lots of cute Halloween stamps and you can find them here.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a fabulous day!

7KCF Challenge - You're A Cool Friend

We have a new challenge for you over on the 7KCF Challenge Blog.  Our challenge is "anything goes".  Since this one is super easy, I hope you can join us!

I used the Making Frosty Friends stamp set from Lawn Fawn and then used the coordinating Making Frosty Friends die cuts to cut the snowman, twig arms, hat and scarf.  I used copics for the little bit of coloring on the snowman.  I used the Stitched Hillside Borders and Stitched Snowflakes Lawn Cuts Dies and added some sparkly sequins.  I used Bo Bunny's Candy Cane Lane paper - I love the patterns and colors in this 6x6 pad!  I also used some Glamour Dust to add some sparkle to the snowman, snow, and snowflakes, but it doesn't really show up very well in the picture.
