Your Next Stamp – New Release Preview

12 Comments
Hi, everybody! It’s getting close to new release time at Your Next Stamp, so I have a sneak peek of “Aspen“, one of the new clear stamp sets being released at YNS in December:
I created a little scene on my card. To make the water, I used Glossy Accents over the patterned paper. I cut an arch of white card stock and added glitter glue to create the snow.
Here’s another look at the card front, so you can see that she’s attached her to the card with some foam tape for dimension. The snowflakes are accented with Sparkly Teal Gumdrops.
Be sure to come back tomorrow, when we kick off the December release with a blog hop! You could be one of the lucky winners of a gift certificate to the YNS Store! And, I’ll have a special sale code for your next purchase at Your Next Stamp! 
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have some crafty time coming up this weekend!

Hey, hey everybody! Have you seen what’s being released this week at Some Odd Girl Stamps? In addition to the clear stamp release, you’ll find a gorgeous “Sunshine Sorbet” 6″ x 6″ paper pad, wood hexie dots and a coordinating sequin pack!
As you can see, the papers are super fun and work so well with the Some Odd Girl clear and digi stamps! And, although you can’t see in the photo, the papers are nice and thick. 
Each sheet has bold geometric patterns on one side, and is solid white on the other. Each 6″ x 6″ Sunshine Sorbet paper pad has two sheets of 12 coordinating designs.
Here’s a card I made with several of the papers and the “Hipster Mae” clear set:
You can also get a peek at the sequins and wood hexies in my card photo. The hexies come in a more natural style, offering up lots of possibilities for your projects! You might have noticed that I altered a few of the hexies with brown ink to make custom accents for my card.
Here’s a photo of all the new Odds & Ends, which hit the Some Odd Girl Stamps Store TODAY!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I’ll have more to share with you tomorrow, when we feature the first of TWO new clear stamp sets making their debut! For more delicious inspiration with the Sunshine Sorbet paper pad and the rest of the new goodies, stop by the Some Odd Girl Stamps blog!

Hi, crafty friends! It’s time for the final sneak peek for this month’s release at Sparkle Creations! Don’t forget to join us for SCRS’ 3rd Anniversary this Saturday with a HUGE blog hop filled with darling inspiration and PRIZES!

Our sneak peek today is “Seattle Chloe”! All of the new release stamps, including Seattle Chloe, will be available in the SCRS store on Saturday!

This is a bittersweet image for me. I had the pleasure of living near Seattle for the past 3 1/2 years and getting to hang out regularly with Sparkle, and our fabulous Canadian friends Peggy, Spike and Thanh! It’s really hard being on the opposite side of the country from them now, because I miss those gals so much! We still keep in touch through Facebook, but I definitely miss being able to meet up with them in person!

Here’s my card!

Be sure to visit all of the SCRS designers for more peeks of Seattle Chloe. Sparkle will be giving away New York Josh to one lucky person! For a chance to win, you need to comment on all of the designer’s blogs (list below). Then head on over to the SCRS blog and comment on the Seattle Chloe post. You have until midnight EST each day to comment. The lucky winner will be announced on Monday, July 22!
