Your Next Stamp Sketch/Colour # 47 (Coffee/Tea Cup Stack)

Hello and welcome to another week of the Your Next Stamp sketch/colour challenge #47.

Every two weeks, there is a new challenge that features a sketch and colour inspiration. Pick the one that inspires you most, or try both for an added challenge. The best part of these challenges is you could win a gift certificate to the YNS store!

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

As we head into fall, the leaves start to turn, the weather gets a little colder (except here where we have heat warnings) and everything turns pumpkin spiced! For this week's challenge, I had fun using the sketch for my inspiration. I used the Coffee and Tea Cup Stack die set. I love how you can mix and match fun patterns for the cups.

The paper I used is Simple Stores Pumpkin Spice (of course)! The sentiment on the card is from the Thanks a Latte stamp set.

For the sketch/colour challenge # 47, you will have until Thursday September 15th (midnight EST) to play along. Head over to the Your Next Stamp blog for more inspiration and to link up your creation.

One random participant will win a $15 gift card to the YNS store. If you feature YNS products (it must be the main focus of your project), you will receive an additional $5. When you use a YNS stamp/die, there is a chance of being selected as the YNS top pick. The winner and top pick are announced on the YNS blog, the Sunday after the close of the challenge.

If you use YNS products on your project, you can also take part in the YNS Social Media challenge. Simply showcase your YNS sketch/colour challenge #47 project on Instagram, Splitcoast Stampers or Facebook. Check out the currently challenge post at the YNS blog for more details on the social media challenge.

Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Your Next Stamp December Sneak Peek (Coffee Right Meow)

It's the most wonderful time of the month.......

No, it's not that it's almost Christmas. It's that time that I get to share with you a little sneaky peeky at the December release for Your Next Stamp. Today if you head over to the YNS blog, you will see a full list of the design team members sharing projects today. So if you can wait for tomorrow's new release blog hop, and you just have to previews the December release, today is the day to do it. Don't worry this kind of peeking is allowed and won't put you on Santa's naughty list.

I have a little bit of a theme going on for the December YNS release. I am still working on a few Christmas gifts and this week I am finishing up a few more people on my nice list. For my preview project today, I am sharing a 5 x 8 inch notebook cover I made using the fun COFFEE RIGHT MEOW!

I am pretty sure COFFEE RIGHT MEOW, is one of my new YNS favourites. I am fairly sure this image is a mirror of me in the morning before my coffee. I also stamped up the fun COFFEE RINGS and added my "notes" title using the LETTER BOARD DIE and highlighted my sentiment using the FILE TAB die. The paper is Basic Grey Hipster.

I love the look of those great coffee splatters and rings. I used Ground Espresso Distress ink to ink all of the paper and to stamp out the coffee stains and sentiments.

Here is a look at the inside of the notepad cover. I created pockets for the pad of paper, so it can be replaced. I used the Coffee and Tea Cup Stack to decorate the inside.

Enjoy our little preview of the YOUR NEXT STAMP December 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, Tuesday December 10th. 

Stop back tomorrow, to join our December 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 December 13th we also have our next DT dare and another chance to win a prize.

Happy PEEKING  everyone!
