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!

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - February Release Hop

Welcome back to the February new release hop for KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS.

Today the Krafty Girls and our talented guests are back to share some inspiration with all of the fabulous stamps we have been previewing over the last week. This month's release is truly magical, so I hope you enjoy today's hop.

This week we started off with a pair of book inspired stamps. If you love Lord of the Rings, these Moonlight Whisper images of GANDALF AND GALADRIEL will be a must have for your collection.

Next we continued with our book theme with a set of darling classic characters. The BOOK PALS stamp set showcases the adorable Pippi Longstocking, Laura Ingalls and Huck Finn.

Our third preview, was for the latest sentiment set from Krafty Girl Becky Piece. The HELLO FRIEND sentiment set is a great stand alone image, or perfect to complement your favourite stamps.

Our final preview was for SQUISHY FRIENDS. These sweet friendship images will complement any project for that special friend in your life.

For today's hop I decided to again step away from the card. I used the darling PIPPI LONGSTOCKING from BOOK PALS and created a notebook holder.

The base of the note holder is 1 sheet of 110lb white card stock. The base was scored at 5.25" and 5.5".

Pippi is just darling and I tried to capture her eclectic clothing and signature red hair with my Copics.

Inside the notebook holder I added a pocket with a couple of tags for notes. The notepad is from the $ store and is approximate 8x5".

I created a pocket for the notepad to fit in, so a new one can be added.

Tip:

The heart key charm on the front was silver, but the key I wanted to use was brass. The solution. I grabbed my Tim Holtz Distress Paint (Tarnished Brass) and painted the charm. The paint was a bit too bright compared to the key, so I used the walnut stain distress ink to "dirty" it up. Worked pretty well.

I hope that you didn't mind so many pictures. I have been having a lot of fun this release making other krafty paper projects with all the amazing release stamps.

Each of the Krafty Girls and our Guests are showing off the images from this release in today's hop. Leave a comment below and along a each of the blogs listed below. Kimmie will be giving away a prize of Krafty $ for the store.

Last night was the online release party, so if you haven't already had the chance, you may just want to check out the new stamps that are now available in the store.

Thanks for stopping hopping along with us today and have a super and KRAFTY day!
