Your Next Stamp - Sketch and Color Challenge #27

Happy Friday everyone!  I hope you've had a fabulous week!  Today I'm sharing a card I made for our new Sketch and Color Challenge over on the Your Next Stamp Blog.

I used the new Holiday Hello clear stamp set.  I love the little critters in this set!  So this stamp is actually suppose to be a bird but I decided to color him as a cute little penguin ;-)  I colored him with copics and then cut him out using the coordinating Holiday Hello Die Set.  I added some Glossy Accents to his beak and feet and some Glamour dust to his hat.  I also used the Stitched Rectangle Die Set and added some pretty sparkly gumdrops.

 

To enter the challenge you need to follow the sketch and/or the inspiration photo.  Be sure to stop by the Your Next Stamp Blog to read the challenge details and to see the beautiful projects by the rest of the DT!

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a fantastic weekend!

Hugs, Anita

Today is the second day of The Greeting Farm's previews of the new November release!  Yesterday we featured a sweet stamp and die set for all those canine lovers out there.  So it's only fair that TGF created an adorable new set for all you kitty lovers, right?

So the set we're previewing today is called Purfect Cats.  In addition to the cutest little kitty stamps there are also accessory stamps and fabulous sentiments!  And of course there's a coordinating die set available too.  I colored the kitty and cupcake with copics and then used some fun birthday papers from Doodlebug Design.

The Greeting Farm - November Preview Day 1

( ** Please scroll down for my Your Next Stamp post ** )

Good morning! Today is the first day of The Greeting Farm's previews of the new November release!  This release is so much fun and there's something for everyone!  I know you're going to love it, so let's get started!

Today we are featuring a clear stamp set with coordinating dies called Lucky Dogs.  Isn't this puppy adorable?  He looks so exhausted, doesn't he?  This is pretty much the way I look in the morning before coffee lol.  This set is going to be so perfect for all your canine-loving friends.  In addition to all the dog images, there are also fun accessories and great sentiments included in this set.  There are also coordinating dies available for this stamp set ... yay!!!  I colored him with copics and then used some fun papers from American Crafts.  I thought this sentiment described this tuckered-out little pup perfectly!

Be sure to stop by the TGF Blog to see what the other designers are sharing today!  Please stop by tomorrow too because we'll be sharing another new stamp set and you don't want to miss it!  Our big Blog Hop for RELEASE DAY is November 15 so be sure to mark your calendars!

Your Next Stamp - November Release & Blog Hop

Good morning everyone!  I'm so happy you stopped by for the Your Next Stamp November release blog hop!  We have lots of fun stamps and dies for you this month and I know you're going to love them!  The entire release is available now in the YNS Store.

Make sure you hop around to all of the blogs featured in the link list located at the bottom of this post for inspiration using the new products!  Also remember to leave a comment on all of the blogs for a chance to win a $25.00 YNS Gift Certificate!  Karen will post the random winner on the YNS Blog on November 14!

For my first card I used Ice Skating Phoebe.  I love the entire Phoebe collection and I'm so happy there's a new Phoebe being released this month!  I think she's so sweet and the little trees included in this set are adorable.  I colored them with copics and then cut out the images using the Ice Skating Phoebe die set.  I cut the cardstock panel using the Stitched Rectangle Die and then I sponged on some blue ink for the sky.  The snowy hills were cut using the Spring/Summer Scene Die Set.  I thinned some white acrylic paint with water and spattered it over the trees to look like they had snow on them. 

My second card features the sweet Holly Jolly Jessica stamp set.  She's a gorgeous little girl that's so perfect for your holiday cards.  I colored her with copics and cut her out using the Holly Jolly Jessica die set.  I also used the Stitched Rectangle Die Set to cut my panels on this card.  I'm in love with this die set - I love the finished edge it gives my cards!  I added a few of our new sparkly Holly Jolly Sparkly Gumdrops to finish my card.
