It’s Friday! Here’s some fun from YNS!

Happy Friday! I’m stopping in today to share my card for Your Next Stamp’s Fun Friday! Our theme this month is “Congratulations and Celebrations”!

I chose YNS’s  fairy sweet “Mandi” to celebrate with this week! Her wings got a little extra sparkle from some Stickles that I added after coloring:

Other supplies: patterned paper (“Springtime”/”Jack and Jill” mini pad – My Mind’s Eye), twine (“Berry” Trendy Twine), Spellbinders small circle and lacey circles dies, sewing machine, Copic markers, button, glitter brads, foam tape.
Don’t forget, there’s still time to play in our Tasty Tuesday challenge! Check out all the details (and the delicious inspiration photo) here.

YNS Fun Friday: Vacation!

Happy Friday, everybody! It’s my turn to post a Fun Friday project at Your Next Stamp today!

We have a new theme this month, “Vacation,” which can mean fun in the snow or the sun! I chose fun in the sun for my inspiration, and “Ellie Loves the Beach” seemed just right for my card!

I also used the brand-new “Insta Love Polaroid Die Set“…it has become my favorite go-to die…I want to use it on all of my cards! The sentiment is a sticker that I had in my stash. I used some fun, summery papers from Echo Park to bring out the full fun and cuteness of this stamp!
Don’t forget to stop by the Your Next Stamp blog to see what other members of the DT (Kelli, Stephanie, and Peggy) are sharing with you today!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and get to see some sunshine of your own!

Cupcake toppers created with the new “Critter Crew” set!

These are super easy to make…color the critters, use a metal die to create the topper, tape to a straw and top the cupcake! (The frosting is easy too…just spoon the can of frosting in a gallon zipper bag, cut one of the corners, and spiral on…I picked the 4 most photogenic ones for the picture.)


Valentine/love tag created with new “I Ruff You” set (the banner comes from the new Fishtail Banner set, and the heart is from the Whatnots Seasons One set!)

Hi, crafty friends! I’d like to share my latest card for this month’s “Tasty Tuesday” challenge at Your Next Stamp!

Each month, we’re inspiring you with a tasty picture from Pinterest that you’ll use to create something fun with your YNS stamps! Different DT members stop by the YNS blog each Tuesday to share what they’ve created…and you have all month to join us!

And, did you know? YNS is on Pinterest, too! Stop by to check out all of the fabulous YNS creations that Karen has been busily pinning to 11 different boards! There are more than 300 pins so far…with more being added all the time!

Here’s our SWEET Tasty Tuesday inspiration photo for January:

So, I created this card featuring “Ellie Loves to Bake“:
I was inspired by the soft colors and the sprinkles…because somehow, every baked treat tastes better with sprinkles! You’ll also notice I used a couple of Whatnots Dies to create embellishments! I’ve been using that heart die on so many of my cards lately!
We have a lot of fun things in store for you this week at YNS…tomorrow, we’ll be sharing sneak peeks of the new stamp and die sets being released at YNS! On Thursday, the entire YNS DT will be sharing their newest creations with you…blog hop style!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
