YNS October Release and Blog HOP HOP HOP!!!

Welcome to the Your Next Stamp October New Release Blog Hop!  

 

The holidays are right around the corner, and today there are lots of new products in the YNS store to help you get you ready for Christmas!  I went on a Christmas stamping frenzy when I received the new products and make coordinating cards, bags and tags!

 

The hop begins on Jen’s Blog, and if you’ve been hopping along, then you should have arrived from our guest Joni’s blog. Our sweet boss lady’s birthday is coming up on October 25th (Happy Birthday, Karen!!!) and she is celebrating by giving away a prize at every blog! Make sure you leave comments on all of the DT blogs for your chance to win one of my favorite sets, Believe in the Magic, plus some of the YUMMY new YNS Gumdrops!

I took inspiration for today's projects from gift wrap that my children were selling from school.  I created 2 sets of Christmas cards, gift tags and decorated a couple gift bags too; all which coordinate with the gift wrap.  This will be part of a gift for my mom, plus I supported my children's school - win, win! 

First up, a CAS card that is perfect for making multiples of and mailing.  This one features the snowflakes and sentiment from "Snowflakes".  I stamped the snowflakes and then heat embossed the sentiment.

The assembly line continued with my second card set.  It went by even faster because I have a helper who loves using my Cuttlebug!

This card features the snowflake and sentiment from "Snowflakes", the snowflake was die cut out using the "Winter Wishes Snowflake Die Set".  In the center of each snowflake is one of the new YNS Gumdrops.

Next up the gift tags!  I had so much fun playing with the new "Holiday Sentiments" set.  It has a little bit of everything and works well for classic or whimsical.

 

The penguins are paired up with dies from the "Holiday Whatnot Die Set" and each tag is finished off with glossy accents.
Karen is also offering some awesome Choose Your Discount Specials in the YNS Store so make sure you take advantage of these amazing deals!

 

Now it’s time to hop on over to Kerri’s fantabulous blog, but don’t forget to leave a comment before you go! Happy hopping and shopping!

Julie

Today it is all about Halloween and I have a fun Halloween framed "BOO!" to share with YOU!

My crafty decor is for the Your Next Stamp's October Fun Friday Challenge!

 

 

So what is the FUN FRIDAY CHALLENGE??? It is your choice of a sketch or inspiration photo or you could go wild and crazy by combining the 2! The sketch and inspiration change each month. Check out all the details on the YNS Challenge Blog.

I took my inspiration from this month's photo and let Halloween take over!

 

 

My creation features each of the spooky cuties from "Fang-tastic Halloween".  They are ready to SCARE!

 

Okay, not too scary, but spooky fun!  I now have a little bit more Halloween inside to go with all the Halloween decorations outside.  My husband and kiddos love Halloween, I am along for the ride ;)There is a graveyard in my front yard with strategically placed bones and smoke, not to mention bats and ghost flying by.  Plus, can't forget the numerous blowups that adorn my yard from time to time.  One of my sons plans on staying home to hand out candy - so long as his siblings share their Trick or Treat take with him!

 

Play along and make your own Halloween spooky scene or be inspired by the sketch, you may just win a prize! Remember that YNS stamps and dies are not required, but we do love to see 'em!

Doodling

Are you ready for a new challenge from Little Miss Muffet Stamps?  This one will have you pulling out your pens...we are looking for doodling on your creation!

This is one of those times that a challenge really is a challenge...I almost never doodle, at least not on cards.

I took Bandit Boy Tom, masked out the #5 on his shirt, and doodled in some grass and flies to go with the frame I doodled around the image. 

Head on over to the LMMS blog and pick up more doodling inspiration from my teammates, then play along!

Monster Fun

Happy Friday!!! 

 

Today I am sharing a card for the Fun Friday Challenge on the Your Next Stamp Challenge Blog! 

 

So what is the FUN FRIDAY CHALLENGE???  It is your choice of a sketch or inspiration photo or you could go wild and crazy by combining the 2!  The sketch and inspiration change each month.  Check out all the details on the YNS Challenge Blog.

 

I was inspired by this month's sketch and the "Silly Monsters" from the September release...I can't get enough of them!

 

 

The "Silly Monsters" are stacked 3 high; each represents one of my kiddos.  Inside the card is the sentiment "from all of us" which is also from the "Silly Monsters" set.  I am saving this card for the next time all 3 of my children are invited to the same birthday party!  I created the background circles with a pen and then colored each in with my copics to match the spots on the monsters.

 

 Play along...you may just win a prize!  Here are the

sketch and photo to get you started:
