Your Next Stamp September Release - After Party

Wow, this past week has been a crazy for cards. I really hope that you enjoyed this month's release. I know that I am ready for fall and I since I am hosting Thanksgiving this year, a few of these cute images may just make an appearance in my decorations.

Today the Design Team would like to continue celebrating this wonderful release by showing off a few more projects. You can see the complete list of after party projects on the Your Next Stamp blog.

Today I am using the Piles of Smiles stamp set. I just love that there is and matching die for this set. I am not that great with my fussy cutting and well just the time saves is worth it.

I love fall colours and the Reflections paper from Echo Park was perfect to go with this sweet little squirrel. I manage to add a bit of fall foliage (Michaels) for embellishments and of course the every fabulous Apricot Gumdrops.

Inside the card I used the leaves from the Piles of Smiles die set on some of the scraps to decorate the inside of the card.

Thanks for joining this months release after party. Remember to check out the Your Next Stamp blog for all of the DT that are sharing projects.

Remember, there are a lot of great deals right now on yummy GUMDROPS and some of the soon to be retired stamp. Don't wait if there is something on your wish list. Happy Hoppin' and Shoppin' everyone!!!

Have a super crafty day!

Your Next Stamp September Release Hop

Hello everyone, it's once again time for another amazing release at YOUR NEXT STAMP. You are going to love our FABULOUS September New Release Blog Hop!

As the weather transitions to crisp mornings and the leaves start to fall from the trees, my fellow DT members and I have been hard at work creating fabulous fall themed inspiration for you! We have a fun September lineup of stamps and dies for you this month. We know you are going to FALL in love with the new dies and our HARVEST CHARACTERS!!! If you love interactive cards, we have the perfect dies for you! Want to try splattering ink, but worried that it will look messy? Have no fear, our INK SPLATTER stamp will solve that! Everything is available now in the YNS store.

Today's hop begins on PEGGY'S blog and if you've been hopping along, you should have come from our fabulous Guest Designer MAUREEN'S blog. Make sure you hop around to all of the blogs featured in the list below. You will find lots of inspiration using these new products. Leave a comment on all of the blogs and you will have a chance to WIN a $20.00 YNS gift certificate. The lucky winners will be announced on the Your Next Stamp Blog September 18th.

For my first project I used the fun GOBBLE GOBBLE stamp. This adorable image also has a matching die.

I kept my card design simple and used circle dies to create a window for my cute turkey. I included one of the sets sentiments and added a few delicious GUM DROPS (apricot). To create depth to my turkey I stamped the image twice. I coloured the tail feathers in the back ground layer. Then coloured the body on the second image, fussy cutting and adhering the top layer with dimensional adhesive.

Inside my card I stamped my turkey image and added additional sentiments from this set.

For my second project I created a card that is not my usual style. Why is that you ask?

No coloured images! I know crazy right? I do surprise myself once in a while.

For this card I used the SPOOKTACULAR sentiment set called GHOSTLY GREETING and the new amazing CHEVRON DIE.

On the outside of my card I worked with the negative space created by the die. I added a pop of green card stock that I covered in Glitter Ritz micro fine glitter. My die cut layer is adhered to the card with dimensional adhesive.  On this card I used the black GUMDROPS.

Inside my card I used the chevron die cut on the green card stock which I again covered with glitter. How did I do this you ask? Run the pieces through your Xyron Sticker maker, cover with glitter, shake off the excess and burnish the glitter into the paper well and voila!

To finish off, I added an additional sentiment and sweet spider from the new HALLOWEEN CUTIES  set.

You may have read that YNS is getting ready to launch a NEW website in October and discontinuing the Digital Stamps line. We'll also be retiring plenty of stamps so NOW is the time to stock up on your WISH LIST! Check out all of the stamps that are retiring here.

Your Next Stamp August Release Sneak Peek

Guess what?

We are getting ready for another fabulous release at Your Next Stamp! Today the design team is super excited to bring to you a few sneak peeks of some of the amazing images that will be available with the September release.

Head over to the YNS blog to see the complete list of designers sharing peeks today.

I am excited to share with you an image called PILES OF SMILES. This is a fun fall set which includes a number of cute images and sentiments.  You will also be excited to know there is a matching die set available for this set.

I used Copic markers and paper piecing on my scarecrow image, which was then cut out with the die for this image. The Simple Stories Summer Fresh paper had a great country feel and to tie in that bit of fall I added the faux corn stock (Michaels) and pumpkin (YNS Halloween cuties - September release).

Inside my card, I stamped the leaves that are part of this fun set and included one of the sentiments along with a sentiment from another release set (Gobble Gobble).

I hope that you enjoyed today's release PEEK! Remember to check out the other peeks by the Design team. The complete list is at the YNS blog.

Come back tomorrow for our Release day HOP!

Happy peeking everyone.
