Your Next Stamp Sketch/Colour Challenge # 48 (Funny Farm Crew Bookmark)

Hello and welcome to another week of the Your Next Stamp sketch/colour challenge #48.

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

This week I am on a bit of a bookmark making kick. I used the sketch design for the inspiration in creating this bookmark, featuring the Funny Farm Crew stamp. The Bookmark/Tag die is one of my most used because I love to gift handmade bookmarks to all my book loving family and friends. The die on the bookmark is from the Halloween Witch Die set, released earlier this month.

Who wouldn't love this darling cow marking the place in their current book?

For the sketch/colour challenge # 48, you will have until Thursday September 29th (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 #48 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 June Feature

Welcome to the June YOUR NEXT STAMP feature post. Each month the design team posts creations to inspire you, using specific themes or stamps. This month, we are showing off projects that feature animals.

I know I just inked up these FUNNY FARM CREW last week. I love them so much that I wanted to make another fun card with this set. I also used the FUNNY FARM SENTIMENT set.

The Simple Stories Homespun had a nice country feel and I finished this card off with delicious olive green GUMDROPS.

Here is a look at the inside.  I added the sentiment from the WHATNOT SENTIMENT TWO set and added the cute pig.

PRIZE ALERT

Head over to to the YNS blog to see all of the DT members sharing projects for today's feature. Leave a comment on the blog post for the June feature and you will have a chance to win a prize.  One lucky stamper will win a YNS stamp set of their choice!

Thanks for stopping by today and have a super crafty day!

Little Red Wagon # 293 Old McDonald had a Farm!

Hello crafty friends. I hope you are having a wonderful and creative week. Today I am back with a card for this week's Little Red Wagon challenge. Joanne is our hostess and her challenge is taking us to OLD MC DONALD'S FARM. I am sure you all know how that song goes, so let see your favourite farm animals this week.

For my card this week I had one of my fellow DT Girlfriends in mind. She is a little fascinated (some may say obsessed) with cows. So, this was the perfect time to ink up the sweet cows in the Your Next Stamp Funny Farm Crew set. There is also a great sentiment set to coordinate with the farm animals.

I used masking paper for stamping the cows three times on my paper. The Simple Stories Homespun paper really has a great country feel.

Inside the card I added another of the darling animals from the set and a two more of the sentiments.

Thanks for stopping by today. I really hope that you have time to play along with our fun FARM challenge. Link up your projects over at the Little Red Wagon blog. If you are looking for some inspiration, please check our my fab GIRLFRIENDS creations this week.

Hey crafty friends, Little Red Wagon is having a DT Call. You can check out the post here for more details. You have until June 15th to apply.

Have a fabulous and crafty day friends!
