Your Next Stamp - October Feature

Welcome to the October YOUR NEXT STAMP feature post. Each month the design team posts creations to inspire you, using specific themes or stamps. This month our feature theme is FALL!

Fall is one of my favourite seasons. The beautiful colours, cooler weather and of course the fabulous lattes and other fun fall drinks. You know the pumpkin spice everything that shows up at this time of year.

For my Fall inspiration, I grabbed the gorgeous Pumpkin Spice paper from Simple Stories and my new Cup of Cheer stamp and created a simple and delicious thank you card.

I love all of the fun element that come with the Cup of Cheer stamp set. It really is so much fun to create a yummy looking treat right on your project. Today's to go coffee was topped with some tasty whipped cream.

Here is a look at the inside of the card.

Your Next Stamp October Release Blog Hop

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

This month we are featuring a fun and fabulous assortment fall, 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 winter stamps for this release. I know that Hot Cocoa Phoebe is so darling and quickly becoming a favourite of mine. You can see the treat box I created for yesterday's peek here.

Keeping in line with warm winter comforts, I inked up two big mugs of hot chocolate using CUP OF CHEER. There are so many fun elements in this stamp set. You can build any type of hot beverage and add so many little extras to make a super sweet treat! 

I used masking to add some of my smaller extras to the inside of mug of hot chocolate. To showcase the mug I layered them on top of the STITCHED FISHTAIL TAG TWO die.

I love the gorgeous colours in the Doodlebug Frosty Friends paper. To highlight my sentiment I used the SCRAPWORK STRIPS DIE and a couple of mint green GUMDROPS.

 Here is a look at the inside of my card. I used a sentiment from the WINTER HOME stamp set.

My second card features the fun dancing elf from JINGLE ALL THE WAY. I kept this card simple and wanted to have the look of someone opening a present for a little peek! Not that I would ever snoop for my Christmas presents! I used the BOOKMARK die for my tag and added the "No Peeking" from the HOLIDAY SENTIMENTS set.

On the inside of the card I added the Santa from this set and the sentiment from the HOLIDAY SENTIMENTS set.
