My card is based on the new sketch challenge up on the Your Next Stamp blog.  Play along for your chance to win a YNS Store gift certificate.   If the sketch doesn't inspire you there is also a color challenge to choose from.  All the details can be found HERE.

June YNS Critter Feature

Hi Everyone!
Today is Your Next Stamp Feature day - wooo hooo!  That means a chance for you to win a set of your choice.   All you have to do it head on over to the YNS Blog and leave a comment on the Feature Day post.

So what is Feature Day?    Thanh picks a challenge for the design team and we create a project based on it.   Today we were asked to create something featuring a animal or critter.    I went with one of my faves, the pup from Smiley Happy Critter Crew Two, and multiplied him by 3.  1 would just not be enough! 

YNS Ingredients:  Smiley Happy Critters Set Two, sentiment from Woodland Critters, Circles Die Set and Gumdrops

My card is based on the sketch from YNS' challenge #16.   There are still a few days to play along for your chance to win a YNS Store gift certificate.   Check out all the details HERE.

Don't forget to head on over to the YNS blog and leave a comment on the Feature Day Post!

Smiles,

Julie

June YNS DT Dare

Your Next Stamp is continuing to celebrate the new release and giving you another chance to win!

  To keep the party going, the DT was dared to create a "sunny" card featuring new release products.  That is not a "challenge" at all - I love using yellow lately, it is my go to happy color!!!  Head on over to the YNS blog and check out all the DT Dare projects, then leave a comment for your chance to win - easy.  

My card features the clear stamp set BBQ Scene, which was die cut out using the Stitched Square die set.   There is a sun in the corner and I also added some strips (aka rays) of yellow using the Scrapworks Strips die set.


Smiles,
Julie

YNS June Blog Hop

Welcome to the Your Next Stamp June Release Blog Hop!!!

Today, we are hosting a hop to share tons of projects featuring all the new stamps, dies and gum drops that are available in the store right now.   There are so many great products in this release and Karen is giving you a chance to win a $20 YNS gift certificate just by visiting everyone on the list below and leaving a comment.  The more blogs you visit and comment on, the greater your odds of winning.  Be sure to leave your comments by June 9th at midnight EST when the hop ends.

So now on to some projects I am excited to share with you.  Each features the newly released sentiment set Whatnot Sentiments Set Five - I love this set!   The font is perfect, elegant and yet it could definitely work great on "fun" cards.   The size of each word is impressive, the Thank You is just under 4" long.  

Up first is a grouping of bridal shower favors.    

YNS Ingredients:   Whatnot Sentiments Set Five, anchor from the Island Fun Die Set, Stitched Rectangle Dies, Stitching Marks - Circles Die Set, Circles Die Set.  

I tea dyed the clothes pins, then hot glued the circles to each.   The clothes pins are clipped to the top of a 4x6 kraft colored bag which was stamped with "thank you".   The bridal shower date, etc. were typed up in MS Word, printed out and then die cut out using the stitched rectangle die.

Next I have a card for you featuring the "hello" from the sentiment set and a rainbow created with the new addition to the Scrapworks family, Scrapworks Strips dies.

YNS Ingredients:  Whatnot Sentiments Set Five and Scrapworks Strips Dies

That is it for me today.   Enjoy the rest of the hop, and be sure to stop by the YNS Store to shop.   Karen is offering a discount for a limited time - all the more reason to go shopping!

Smiles,

Julie
