Your Next Stamp Sketch/Colour challenge # 26 (Jingle all the Way)

Welcome to our sketch and colour challenge #26 at Your Next Stamp. Each challenge includes a sketch and colour options to inspire you.

 

Create a project based on the sketch and/or the colour combination. If you are working with the colours use at least 3 of the colours and you can add only neutrals.

I am so excited to add another Christmas card to my stash. It's the one holiday that require the largest amount of cards all in one go. For this week's challenge I used the fun Santa image from the Jingle all the Way set recently release last month. 

This was such a fun sketch to play with that I didn't really change it too much. I flipped the sketch sideways and altered a few of the layers a bit. I used a smaller sentiment from the Winter Home set and stamp this on the white cardstock cut out using the Scrapwork Stripe die. To accent the trim on Santa's hat I used a little liquid glue and added white sparkling fluff.

 On the inside of the card I added the quirky reindeer from the Jingle all the Way set and included a sentiment from the Holiday Sentiment set.

For our sketch and colour challenge # 26 you have until November 12, 2015 (midnight) to play along. You can see more inspiration and link up your projects over at Your Next Stamp.

One random participant will WIN a $15 gift card to the YNS store. If you feature a YNS stamp or die (must be the main focal point) you will receive and additional $5. When you use a YNS image there is also a chance of being selected as a YNS Top Pick. That's right, bragging rights for you and a fabulous badge to show off on your blog! Sounds exciting right? Ink up your stamps and show us your crafty stuff!

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.
