Your Next Stamp Sketch/Colour Challenge 64 - Teacher Thank you!

Hello and welcome to another week of the Your Next Stamp sketch/colour challenge #63. 

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 

Today I used the colours for my inspiration to create a Teacher thank you card. We are nearing the end of the school year, so this will come in handy.

Supplies on this card include:

• Little Notes
• Spectacular Teacher stamp/Die
• Apple Die
• Stitched Rectangle Die
• Paint Swooshes and Splatters
• Sunset Sparkly Gumdrops
• Various YNS Inks

For the sketch/colour challenge #64, you will have until Thursday May 25th (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 #64 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 July Release Hop

Welcome everyone to the July new release blog hop at Your Next Stamp.

This month we have an amazing collection of stamps and dies for you to see. I am pretty sure you will find a favourite or two (or more) in this release.

As I sat down to create my new release cards, I had a really hard time with making one card for each of these amazing sets. Once the creativity started flowing, I didn't want to stop. For my preview of the Fairytale Friends I made two fun shaker cards (here). Today my first hop card set showcases the Paint Swooshes and Splatters and the Large Stitched Apple die. I am fairly certain this faux paint stamp is going to become my next "go to" stamp set. They are so fun to create with and there are so many great ways to play with them.

YNS supplies: Paint Swooshes and Splatters, Large Stitched Apple Die, Fancy Thanks, Scribble Fun One (sentiment). Other Supplies: Doodlebug Back to School paper

On my second card, I am used the fun Flippin' Fabulous stamp and the Stitched Circle Frame die to create another shaker card. I think that crab is way too cute!

YNS Supplies: Flippin' Fabulous, Stitched Circle Frame, Circles with Stitching and Piercing marks dies, Silver Tinsel Gumdrops Other Supplies: Echo Park Happy Summer
