Your Next Stamp Colour/Sketch Challenge # 22

Welcome to our sketch and colour challenge #22 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.

This month I worked with both the sketch and the colours using the Love & Smiles stamp and die set. 

I had fun with the sketch flipping the image around. My panel is on the bottom of my card and I cut everything on a slight angle. I used the Air Mail die to create a fun border and cut a strip of paper using the Scrapworks Strips dies instead of a ribbon or twine.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:Love & Smiles Stamps
Dies: Love & Smiles Dies, Scrapworks Strips Dies, Air Mail Dies, Stitched Square Dies 
Paper: Penny Black Gentle Whisper

For our sketch and colour challenge # 22 you have until September 17, 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!

Have a fabulous and crafty Friday friends!

Your Next Stamp September DT Dare

This month at YOUR NEXT STAMP, our Design Team (DT) Dare challenge is called ABC. That means we were given the challenge to create Anything But a Card!

When this challenge comes up, I do have a few "go to" projects that I like to use. Note pad holders, book marks, scrapbook pages and gift boxes are all great options. Having so many fabulous Halloween stamps and dies, this month I decided to create a gift box. This will go as a gift to one of my daughter's teachers this year. It's so nice to be ahead of schedule on a few things.

I inked up mummy Waddles from the WADDLES TRICK OF TREAT to decorate my 4x4 Halloween treat box.

I have done a few gift boxes in a variety of sizes. They are easy to make, and work for all seasons and occasions. I decorated this box using paper from Jillibean Soup Owloween Stew collection.

Measurements for a 4 x 4 x 1.5 inch box:
Box Base: 7 inches square scored at 1.5 inches on all sides
Lid: the cardstock for the lid will measure 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch large than the piece cut for the bottom of the box. Score again 1.5 inches on all sides.

Just load up the box with a few goodies and it's all ready for your child's teach, a coworkers or friend.

Here is a closer look a sweet mummy Waddles. I used the Waddles Trick or Treat die set to cut out the image. I also added a few of the new gumdrops called Candy Corn and Spellbound. 

Supplies Used:
Stamps: WADDLES TRICK OF TREAT
Dies: Waddles Trick or Treat, Stitched Square Die
Paper: Jillibean Soup Owloween Stew
Other: Candy Corn and Spellbound Gumdrops

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.
