There's Still Time

There is still plenty of time to play along with the Photo Inspiration & Sketch challenge. For a chance to win a gift certificate to YNS store. You ca use the photo or the sketch or challenge yourself and use both. I used the Sketch

I started with a white top folding card base, some patterned paper and the set Silly Love Monsters. I love this set it is super cute for making valentine cards. 

 I colored the monster with Copic markers and for the elements on the corners I just used some Valentine washi.

You have until February 1st to play along

Furry Friends Feature Day

I have been at Creativation and just realized that some of my posts didn't post to my blog while I was gone so be sure to scroll own for more 

Hello Friends, 

My card share today is for Your Next Stamp feature day where we are featuring the sets using any kind of animal. I used the set Party Pets for my card. I stamped the image with memento ink and colored it with Copic markers and then used a stitched die to cut out the panel. The background balloon paper is by Echo Park

 

Share The Love

Hello Stampers!

It's time for a DT Dare with Your Next Stamp. We challenge you to create something around the theme Share the Love.  

To make my card I used the Silly Love Monsters stamps & Dies. I created a splatter background using the same colors that I colored the monsters in with Copic markers. After coloring the monsters I cut them out with the coordinating dies and popped them on on the front of my card using foam tape.

 To make my card I started with a white top folding card base and some patterned paper by My Minds Eye, this is paper I have had for a while. I am trying to use more patterned aper on my cards and use up some of the 20 bazillion sheets I have. I used a circle and heart die to cut out the design paper. I stamped the image from the set Silly Love Monster set on a scrap piece of cardstock and colored it with Chameleon Pens and then cut it out with the coordinating die. To finish the card I added some glossy accents to the hearts above her head and the heart on the arrow, and some wink of stella on her golden wings.

To make my card I started with a white top folding card base, a red panel and a panel of patterned paper cut down to 5 1/4 X 4. I stamped the penguin image from the Penguin Love set on a separate piece of paper and colored the image with Chameleon pens. After I got them all colored I used the coordinating die to cut them out and then popped them in the corner of the panel and added a die cut heart above their heads. 

Isn't this a cute set? be sure to head over to the YNS blog to see what everyone else created with the new release. 

YNS Sketch & Color Challenge

I am up on the Your Next Stamp blog today guesting for them this month.  This one is for the sketch and color challenge, you can use the sketch, the colors or both. I just used the colors.

To make my card I started with a white top folding card base, a piece of patterned paper and a white panel cut down with a stitched die. I stamped the little monster from the Silly Birthday Monsters set and colored him with Copic markers.

The monster in the set only has one balloon but I wanted him to have more so I could use the colors, in order to do this I just masked the balloon each tim,e I stamped it and then added two more strings by freehand. To finish the card and make it a little more fun for a little,

 I added some googley eyes to the monster.

Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping! 

Crafty News
