Your Next Stamp February Release Blog Hop

Hello everyone and welcome to the Your Next Stamp February release blog hop.

This month we have a fabulous selection of stamps and dies. Whether you are a coffee lover (my hand is madly waving in the air) or a sports fan, we have the release from you. You will see some returning favourites with Phoebe and Sprinkles and of course we cannot forget about the fabulous dies. I had fun with the doily and heart die on my DT dare card (stay tuned for that one).

One thing my family, close friends and coworkers know about me, is that I NEED my coffee in the morning. My favourite stamps will often relate to coffee, books and anything that makes me think about my girls. On my first card I used the cute 'pup of coffee' in the Coffee Break set.

Here is a look at the inside of the card.

Growing up in a sports loving home, I was so excited to see all of the fabulous sports images in the Sports Fanatics One set. What is even more exciting, is that this month we are also releasing Sports Fanatics Two! These sets will get a lot of use.

Hockey is definitely my favourite sport, and I really could not resist using that fabulous sentiment. I still giggle when I read it.

Little Red Wagon (Distress It) / The Paper Nest Dolls (Guest)

Hello crafty friends. I hope you are all have a wonderful week so far. Today it's time for new challenge at Little Red Wagon.

I am also sharing my project for my final month as a Guest Designer for The Paper Nest Dolls.

This week, I am hosting the challenge at Little Red Wagon, and I went with something easy and fun. This week, my challenge is called DISTRESSING IT. So it's simple, just ink your papers, fray your edges or add a few tears to your paper. Even better, do them all.

For my distressed card I used the image MADDIE WITH GLASSES from The Paper Nest Dolls. Plenty of inking, frays and rips on my paper.

The paper is from My Minds Eye (Notable). I used a the Notebook Edge Die from Your Next Stamp. All of the  paper is inked with Vintage Photo Distress ink.

Inside the card I added a sentiment from Your Next Stamp Heartfelt Sentiments.

Stop stressing and start DISTRESSING!

Head over to the Little Red Wagon blog to link up your project and to see what all of the amazing and talented Girlfriends have created this week.

Thanks for stopping by and have a super crafty day!
