Hello and welcome to another week of the Your Next Stamp sketch/colour challenge #60.

 When using the colour inspiration, you must use at least 3 colours. You may also add neutrals 

This week I used the sketch for my inspiration. I am showing my Sprinkles stamps some more love this week, and inking up Sprinkles Sugar Rush! The paper is also new from Your Next Stamp called Happy Spring.

YNS DT Dare - Shades of Spring (Froggie Friend)

It's time for the March Your Next Stamp Design Team Dare challenge.

Each month the design team is given a special challenge to help show off the new release stamps and dies. The challenge may be seasonal or technique bases, but whatever it may be, you will see a lot of fun projects.

This month our Designer challenge is called SHADES OF SPRING!

Shades of spring for me, means vibrant and colourful. I used the new Froggie Friend stamp, along with the Little Ledges die, Happy Spring paper and the Enchanted Garden gumdrops to create a fun shaker card. I also used the Mini Popcorn box to create a cute little treat holder, which would work as a party favour or thank you gift for someone special!

Head over to the Your Next Stamp blog and look for the March DT Dare post. Leave a comment on that post for the chance to WIN a stamp set of your choice!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Your Next Stamp March Release

Welcome to the Your Next Stamp March release hop. This release is filled with fun and fabulous stamps, dies, beautiful new paper and pretty ink colours! There is a little something for everyone in this month's release.

We have an amazing blog hop to showcase so many wonderful stamps, and dies! This month we have a number of talented guest joining us for our March release hop. Sit back, grab a beverage (some Chocolate Chai tea would be yummy) and maybe a pen and paper to joint down an item or two or three for your wish list.

For my first card, I used the fun Let's Do Take out stamp and die. 

YNS Products: Let's Do take out stamp & die, Flip Up Window Die, Scallop Circle Die, Circle die, Stitching Mark Circle die, Milk and Cookie Matte Gumdrops, Mocha brown ink

To make the card interactive, I used the Flip Up Window die set to add one of the great sentiments from this set. I think there will be a lot of fun things I will be able to do with this new die!

For my second card, I channelled some spring vibes. I used the darling A Cute Stack stamp along, with the Happy Spring paper and Enchanted Garden Gumdrops.
