Your Next Stamp May Release Blog Hop

Welcome to the May release blog hop for Your Next Stamp!

This release is full of amazing new stamps and dies. If you are looking for cute, funny, sweet, lovely, classy, and so much more......this is the release for you.

My first card is a fun and simple thank you card made using the From My Garden stamp and die.

Inside of the card.

Supplies: From My Garden Stamp and Die, YNS Holly Berry Gumdrops, Simple Stories Summer Fresh, American Crafts Truffle twine

My second card, is an inspirational clean and simple card, made using the From the Heart Stamp set. This is a beautiful set of flowers that includes simple solid flower and outlines of flowers in the set. To create my card, I actually cut my stamp apart (scary, I know), so I could first stamp with the solid flower stamps, then stamp over top using the floral outline and white pigment ink.

To accent the flowers, I used some of our newest colours of Gumdrops.

Here is a look at the inside of the card.

Supplies Used: From the Heart, YNS Gumdrops, Lawn Fawn Let's Polka

Your Next Stamp May Release Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Your Next Stamp May new release blog hop.

Today we have an amazing blog hop showcase so many fabulous stamps and die. Sit back, grab your favourite beverage and enjoy this month's inspiration. 

For my first project I used SWEET SPRING JESSICA, the STITCHED RECTANGLES die and a few yummy GUMDROPS (olive green).

The paper on the card is from Simple Stories Summer Fresh.

Inside the card I inked Jessica in a lovely green and added a beautiful sentiment from this set.

Here is a look at the stamp and dies used.

 

I am planning ahead for the end of the school year and my next card will be perfect for the kids teacher. I created the card using the FOR THE TEACHER stamp along with the STITCHING MARKS CIRCLES and the CIRCLE DIE. This adorable stamp sent allows you to add a variety of sentiments in the little banner.

I embellished with a few white GUMDROPS and decorated the card with the bright Doodlebug Take Note paper.

Inside the card I used the SMARTY PANTS set for added school themed decoration.

Here is a look at the stamps and dies uses for this card.

Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps/Little Red Wagon

It's another dual posting day for me, so I am sharing a card for Little Red Wagon and Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. Here is a bit about these challenges:

KRAFTIN' KIMMIE STAMPS 

These amazing Wonderful Wednesday challenges are ANYTHING GOES.....so there really is no reason not to play along. Grab your stamps and lets get inky. We of course love when you use a Kraftin' Kimmie image (which will double your chances for winning) however we will welcome any stamps. Create a new card, layout or altered item and share with us over at the KKS blog. At the end of the month, one random winner will be chosen from all the submissions and will receive a $20 Gift card to the shop. Worth playing......for sure!

LITTLE RED WAGON

Today over at Little Red Wagon Carolyn is our fabulous hostess and her challenge is called PEEK A BOO. That means she would like you to create a card with a window in it. 

I went very literal in my interpretation of this challenge and I used the new IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY by Cheryl Grant for Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps. The paper is Simple Stories Summer Fresh. I am channeling my warm, sunny, flowery vibes and hopefully winter we go away soon.

I created some dimension with my window by stamping the image 3 times to create different layers of the image. I didn't use dimensional adhesive because I want a subtle depth to the image.

Inside of the card, I used a second image from this set and added a sentiment from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps WORDS OF INSPIRATION set.

Thanks for dropping by my blog today. I hope you have a bit of creative time to play along both of these super fun challenges.

Head over to the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps blog to check out more Krafty goodness from my fellow Krafty Girls and this month's amazing guests. You can link up your project there or submit via our Krafty Friends Facebook page.
