Your Next Stamp November Release Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Your Next Stamp November new release blog hop.

This month we are featuring a fun and fabulous assortment, winter and Christmas stamps and dies. There is so much to see on this hop, so you may want to keep a note pad to jot down some of your favourites. I was very excited about all of the amazing Christmas stamps for this release. We have some returning favourites like Jessica, Phoebe and Sprinkles and some fun new image that I am sure you will love. Really who doesn't love a holiday Dinosaur or Moose!

For my first card I used the sweet MERRY CHRIS-MOOSE stamp. I just fell in love with this darling image and I am sure he is going to appear on a few of my Christmas card this year.

Here is a look at the inside of the card. I love the large font with this set. I love to put big sentiments on the inside of my card.

For my second card I used the lovely HOLLY JOLLY JESSICA. Adding a few of the new Holly Jolly Sparkly Gumdrop. The paper on the card is My Minds Eye Cozy Christmas.

Here is a look at the stamp for this card:

Your Next Stamp October Sneak Peek!

Today I am excited to share a peek of one of the new stamps from the YOUR NEXT STAMP October release. The Design Team is offering some fabulous PEEKS today, so sit back and enjoy! For the full list of preview projects this months, head over to the Your Next Stamps blog.

For my peek project I created a fun treat box, which features the super cute HOT COCOA PHOEBE. It's a perfect little box for gifting some delicious hot chocolate and maybe a few other yummy treats.

The box is double sided. One side can be created from an 8 x 10 sheet of cardstock and measures 4 (wide) x 5.5 (high) x 1.5 (deep) inches. To cut the "handle" of the box, I used one of the smaller Stitched Rectangle dies.

Here is a look at darling Phoebe. The paper is from the Carta Bella Bundle Up collection.

On the back side of the box I added a snowflake die cut from the Winter Fun Tag set.

This is a template showing my measurements for one side of the treat box. You will start with a 8 x 10 sheet of cardstock. Along the 8 inch side you will score at 0.5, 2, 6 and 7.5 inches. Then along the 10 inch side score at 3 and 4.5 inches (measured from the bottom of the box). The portions in grey are scrap. The red lines are where you will cut and the dashed lines are your score/fold lines. For the double sided box, you will cut and assemble two of these.

Enjoy our little preview of the YOUR NEXT STAMP October release. Remember to check out all of the previews available from the DT. The complete list is on the YNS blog. Stamps and dies from the new release will be available tomorrow, Thursday October 15th. 

Stop back tomorrow, to join our October Release Blog Hop. There will be a lot of amazing projects to see and prizes to be won. You don't want to miss this release. On October 18th we also have our next DT dare and another chance to win a prize.

Happy PEEKING  everyone!
