It’s Tasty Tuesday at YNS!

Hope you’ve been enjoying all of the new releases at Your Next Stamp! Since it’s a new month, that means it’s time for a new Tasty Tuesday challenge! I chose one of  YNS‘s brand new Darling Divas, “Summer,” for my card:
Supplies: patterned paper (“Corinne” 6×6 paper pad – SEI), metal dies (“Insta Love Die Set,” “Fishtail/Banner Die Set,”  – Your Next Stamp), image stamp (“Summer” – Your Next Stamp), sentiment & heart stamps (“Insta Love” – Your Next Stamp), assorted Copic markers, ink (Memento Rich Cocoa), button, twine (Trendy Twine).
Here is our tasty inspiration photo for this month! 
I was inspired by the colors on the cookies and the details on the top left one.

Hi everybody! It’s time for a brand new Tasty Tuesday challenge at Your Next Stamp!


So what is “Tasty Tuesday”? Glad you asked! 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!For my card, I chose “Swing Fhiona” and was inspired to color her to match the fun, bright, fruity colors in this month’s inspiration photo! This is a great set, because it comes with lots of accessories and a few sentiments…I wish I could have added more to my card:


And here’s our refreshing inspiration for March Tasty Tuesdays:

Christmas Card Challenges: Santa Baby!

Happy Sunday! It’s time for a new Christmas Card Challenge, and this week we’re inspired by that jolly old elf, Santa Claus!

I combined some cute stamps from Your Next Stamp (from the “Holiday Snow Globe Set“) with a sentiment stamp from aMuse Studio (“Mini Holiday Messages” set) and some papers from Basic Grey’s “Eskimo Kisses” collection to create my card: 


Remember, all of our challenges are optional…the only “real” rule is that you must create a new Christmas, Holiday or Hannukah card, then link it up on our blog so we can stop by and say hi!

It’s not necessary that you use a Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamp on your card, but we sure love it when you do!

Don’t forget to visit the rest of the CCC team to take a peek at the fun and festive cards they’ve created this week: Alanna, Corinne, Jennifer, Jovita, Karen, Katie, Leesa, Lorie, Margo, Michele, Pat, Stephanie…and our guest designer Juliane!
