Superstar Arrival

Today is inspiration day at Little Miss Muffet Stamps!   With the freedom to choose whatever I wanted the surprise is that I decided to make a "boy" card.  A baby boy card to be exact.

I will be in need of baby boy cards over the next few months so I set out to make a welcome baby card and reached for Babe Superstar, one of my favorite baby images. 

Ah, sweetness, right??? 


The layout on my card is based on Splitcoast Stampers' sketch 469.  I kept my take on the sketch CAS by keeping everything ivory besides the copic colored in stamp.

That's it for today, stop on over at the LMMS blog and pick up some more inspiration from my teammates!

YNS January Release Hop - Trio of Treats

Hello and welcome to the

Your Next Stamp January New Release Blog Hop!

This month's release is FULL of SWEETNESS as we are getting ready for Valentine's Day with fabby new Valentine stamps and dies!  

 

 

The hop begins on Kerri's Blog, and if you've been hopping along you should have arrived from Maureen's blog. 

 

You have until Tuesday, January 7th at midnight (EST) to hop and leave comments for your chance to win some awesome prizes!  As an added bonus, every stop along the hop has a secret prize!   It could be gumdrops, a YNS stamp of choice, a YNS die of choice or a YNS gift certificate!!!! SWEET, right???!!!

 

Today it is all about treats - Hershey Hugs, aka zebra poop in my house ;>). 

 

 

Up first is the cute monkey and sentiment from the new set Jungle Critters.  The bag is topped by the new bread tag die cut featuring a heart cut out - it is from the Treat Bag Tags die set.  The monkey is holding the heart cut out from the tag.

 

I cut out the tag a second time from the patterned paper to get a heart which I added to the tag.

 

Next, is a bag topper created using the Peek a Boo Door Die set.  I die cut the scallop rectangle and straight rectangle from the set and then folded each in half.  The sentiment is from the new set Love Bug Sentiments and it is paired up with the lady bug from the previously released Smiley Happy Critter Crew Set One.

 

If you like to keep it simple, than this sentiment and the trio of hearts from the Love Bug Sentiments Set is the way to go.  It fits perfectly on this tag from the Treat Bag Tags die set.

 

As always, Karen is offering an amazing hop special!  You will receive 15% off your entire order in the Your Next Stamp Store, including sale items through January 10th!

Crazy Love

Today I am sharing a card I made for Your Next Stamp's January Fun Friday challenge.  This month there is a fab sketch and a yummy pic to take inspiration from! 

 

I went with the inspiration and die cut out a few hearts to go along with the squirrel from Quirky Animals Set One...

 I used the heart die from the Clip it Die Set, it is a great size for my card which is 4.25" x 4.25".

Join in the fun and check out the blog to see more inspiration!

Your Next Stamp Holidays Blog Hop 2013

Welcome to a special Your Next Stamp Holiday Hop! We are sharing projects made with YNS Holiday Stamps and Dies to wish our fabulous YNS customers a very happy holiday season! I know you will find tons of inspiration throughout the hop so be sure to start at the very beginning with Laura.   If you've been hopping along, then you should have arrived from Wendy's blog.

You have from today until Saturday, December 21st at midnight (EST) to hop with us! If you leave a comment on all of the blogs along the hop, you could win a $25 YNS Gift Certificate!!! Karen will announce the winners on the YNS Blog on Sunday, December 22nd.

My project for today happened by chance.  It started out as a craft for the kids and well, of course I couldn't help but join them in the fun!

I bought votive candles for the kids to decorate using the tissue paper technique (here).  The kids drew on their tissue paper and I made a couple using the snowflake stamps from Warm Winter Wishes.

Then I realized that 2 votive candles fit in the Kup Holder perfectly!!!  Such a great way to package the candles.  I decorated the Kup Holder with a matching snowflake cut out with Warm Winter Wishes dies and then layered it on top of the scallop shape from the Pocket Die Set.

Karen is having the biggest Your Next Stamp sale of the year with up to 30% off your order!  Rumor has it she is trying to make room for all the new stamps and dies heading our way in 2014!

Make sure you take advantage of these amazing deals! Notice that the sale runs thru the end of the year (what a great way to spend money you receive from Christmas)!  Now it's time to hop on over to Thanh's blog, but don't forget to leave a comment before you go! As always, happy hopping and shopping, and have a wonderful holiday season!

Your Next Stamp December Challenge

December has arrived and so has a new challenge at the Your Next Stamp Challenge Blog!

 

There are 2 challenges to choose from, a sketch or an inspiration photo.  I went with the inspiration and kept is CAS with purple and stamps from the Holiday Sentiments set. 

 I stamped "snow" in 3 shades of purple and then stamped "all that glitters is" over it and embossed the black only.  I then brushed each of the words "snow" with a Wink of Stella Glitter Brush pen - clear.

Here is the sketch and photo so you can play along.  Check out the Your Next Stamp Challenge Blog for all the details - there is a prize involved!

Gotcha

Time for a new challenge at Little Miss Muffet Stamps and this is a fun one...You've Been Framed!  Just add a frame - any kind of frame will do.  

I went the photo frame route and used a polaroid for one of the mats behind Melba Flora Hatter.

A bit of embossing and a bow with some peach thrown in too.

 

Thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to see your take on the challenge!

 

Smiles,

Julie
