Your Next Stamp August DT Dare: Colour Me Happy (Party Pets)

I am excited to be joining in for this month's Your Next Stamp Design Team Dare Challenge for August.

Each month the design team is given a special challenge to help show off the new release stamps and dies. The challenge may be seasonal or technique bases, but whatever it may be, you will see a lot of fun projects.

This month our challenge theme is called COLOUR ME HAPPY! The team was left to interpret this how they wanted.

Your Next Stamp October Feature - Favourite Technique

Welcome to the October Your Next Stamp feature post. Each month the design team uses specific stamps, dies or themes to create projects that will hopefully inspire you.

You will want to check out the feature post each month at the YNS blog because in addition to inspiration, there is also a chance to WIN a stamp set of your choice.

This month our theme is to showcase our favourite technique!

One of my new favourite techniques is featured in the die cut on this card. I used the "Merry" from the Scripty Holiday Word Die set and created a fun multi-coloured sentiment. You can see the technique below. The card also showcases one of the stamps from the newest release called Warm Christmas Wishes.

To add the extra items in the mug, I used masking paper to stamp everything out.

Here is a look at how I created my sentiment.

• Add adhesive to a sheet of paper (computer paper will work)
• Apply strips of card stock.  This die is smaller, so my paper is approximately .25 inches wide. I also like to adhere it on an angle
• Once you have coverage for your die, run it through your die cut machine
• When you pull out your sentiment, you have a fun colourful addition to your card

Here is a look at the inside of the card.
