For today's project, I created a fun "bird-day" card using the new Bird Critter Crew stamp set. You may have noticed that I really love this stamp set. In yesterday's release blog hop I created a card featuring the pretty peacock (here). Today I am showcasing some colourful and fun flamingos on my card.  

Oh and another fabulous note to share about this set, there is also a coordinating die set! Yeah!

Here is my card. The images were coordinated with bright paper from Pebbles "Scene & Noted" collection.

A closer look at this fun images which were stamped with Memento Tuxedo black ink and coloured with Copic markers.

Of course my card is never full complete unless the inside is decorated. This means it is ready to go for whatever party or event that may sneak up on me.

Inside my card I added another flamingo and included my favourite sentiment from this set.

Now hurry along and check out the after party projects from amazingly talented YNS design team. Then make your way over to the YNS store and take advantage of the new release deal.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Karen and her wonderful design team for having me as a guest designer during the month of April. I have had an amazing time.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Your Next Stamp April New Release Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the April Your Next Stamps New Release Blog Hop! We have some ADORABLE new stamps and some really fun new dies for you this month. So hop along with us and check them out!

The hop begins on Maureen's blog and if you've been hopping then you should have arrived here from Julie's blog. You have through Tuesday April 29th to leave a comment on all of the DT blogs for your chance to win a $20 YNS gift certificate.

I love the images and dies from this release and had so much fun creating these cards. For my first project I used the super fun Bird Critter Crew set. This stamp set includes 3 fabulous images including a flamingo, ostrich and this fabulous peacock.

There are five great sentiments with this set and I manage to incorporated 3 of them into my card.

For my next project, I used the versatile Flower Fun Two die set. I made multiple cuts with this die and assembled the flower using different colours of card stock. To create the glittered petals I used the die on a sheet of Therm O Web Peel n' Stick double sided adhesive and applied a layer of pink glitter (Glitter Ritz Rose) to the petal pieces. The flower is finished with a white Gumdrop.

The left over die cut pieces were used to decorate the inside of the card. The sentiment is the YNS Heartfelt Sentiments.
