Your Next Stamp Feature - Make a Scene (Little Darling Fairy Godmother)

Welcome to the April YOUR NEXT STAMP feature post. Each month the design team uses specific stamps or theme to create a new project that will hopefully inspire you!

This month our theme is........Making a Scene

This feature was a little more challenging and not something I usually create with my card. I love to layers and have even been dabbling in the clean and simple. However, creating full backgrounds and scenes with my stamped images, not something I tend to do.

I used the Little Darling Fairy Godmother and using masking created a simple scene featuring the fairy godmother and the enchanted pumpkin carriage. The stamped image was fairy large together, so I decided to keep the rest of the card very simple.

PRIZE ALERT!!!

Head over to the YNS blog to see all of the Design Team member sharing projects for this month's feature. Leave a comment on the blog post for the April Feature and you will have a chance to win a prize. One lucky stamper will WIN a YNS stamp set of their choice!

Supplies Used
Stamps: Little Darling Fairy Godmother (Your Next Stamp)
Dies: Scrapwork Strips (Your Next Stamp)
Paper: Simple Stories Enchanted

Hello Krafty friends! Welcome back the third day of the June release previews at at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.

Today we have a super sweet set from the amazing artist Cheryl Grant. This fabulous set is called BELIEVE IN FAIRYTALES, and that I truly do! You will love the sweet princess, dashing prince and fierce knight. Oh and we can forget about the darling frog and dragon!

Since it's Saturday and a release preview day, we are also excited to present a new ANYTHING GOES challenge. Create a new project (card, scrapbook page or altered item) and share it with us on the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps blog or on our Krafty Friends Facebook page. All stamps are welcome, however if you use a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp you will double your chance for the weekly prize of a $10 gift certificate to use in the shop.

This month I had the chance to make a few masculine cards. So, when I decided to create a card with this cute lil' knight, I decide to make it a girly! Using the Simple Stories Enchanted paper made it even easier to make this card for a sweet, cute and for a girl!

 My adorable knight looks fabulous in her pink armour.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps (Wonderful Wednesday) / Little Red Wagon (To Die For)

 

Welcome friends. Today I have a dual post for Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and Little Red Wagon.

Did you know the Wonderful Wednesday challenges at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps are ANYTHING GOES? We love when you use a KKS (and it doubles you chance for winning), however all stamps are welcome for these challenges. Just create a NEW card, layout or altered item and share with us over at the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps blog or in our Facebook group (here).

The challenge runs for the month and there is a new chance to enter each Wednesday. At the end of the month a random winner will be chosen from the submissions and received a $20 gift card to the shop. Definitely worth playing for right?

This week at Little Red Wagon,

Susie is issuing the orders and her challenge this week is to DIE FOR! No really it's actually to DIE FOR. Susie wants us to use a die on our projects. Manual or die cutting machine your choice.

I am still having fun with a few altered projects and this week I decorated a small note book I picked up at Michaels (approx size 3x5 inches). I used the new ITTY BITTY FRIENDS from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. These mini images are great for these little projects.

My die cuts are simple. I used the Stitched Circles die (YNS) around my image and I created a matching bookmark for my notebook using a Bookmark die (YNS).

The paper used on the notebook is Simple Stories Enchanted.

I hope that you find time to join our TO DIE FOR challenge over at Little Red Wagon. While you are there stop over to the other Girlfriends blogs to see all of the inspiration they are sharing. Check out our Little Red Wagon Facebook group (here).

Your Next Stamp April DT Dare

This month has been one of my busiest for crafty things. Last week I was helping Karen in the Your Next Stamp booth at Scrapfest. This weekend, I am off with some friends for a much needed crafty retreat weekend. 

This week we have been sharing projects for our April release for Your Next Stamp. Did you enjoy all the fun new stamps and dies? I just love the new Jessica with Happy Mail stamp, the Bookworms Rule! stamp and the new Large Bookmark Dies.

This month for our Design Team (DT) Dare our challenge was to create a project with a  feminine theme. That is definitely something I can manage, especially with the super cute Bookworms Rule! stamp. I love the Dr. Seuss sentiment with this set. Oh The Places You'll Go, is my favourite of his stories. It was a book I received from one of my managers (as an adult) when I started out as a team leader.  

I used the Large Bookmark/tag die and created a removable bookmark for the front of the card. The Simple Stories Enchanted paper is perfect to help showcase this sentiment.

Inside the card I used the large Tear Away Tab die and the new Tear Away Tab Sentiment Two stamp set to create an interactive place for a special surprise!

A fun place for a gift card.

Head over to the Your Next Stamp blog and check out the DT DARE post for this month. Comment on the post for a chance to WIN a prize. You will also see more amazing creations from my fellow YNS DT girls.

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a wonderful and crafty day!
