YNS September DT Dare

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's DT Dare day at Your Next Stamp!!

DT Dare is....
Get Inky

With the dare in mind I decided to use a few of my blue inks to create a background behind my sweet painting chick and easel!!

I used the Paint Swooshes and Splatters stamp set to create the background:

I then stamped the 'To a brilliant, creative, smart, generous, funny and attractive chick!' sentiment from the new Hobby Chicks stamp set!!

I stamped my chick image and easel from the Hobby Chicks stamp set, colored them with my Copics and then die cut them out using the coordinating Hobby Chicks Die Set!  As I wanted to use pop-dots behind them to make them stand up above my fun stamped background!!

What a fun card to give a creative friend!!!

I finished off the card by adding some Cosmic Crush Sparkly Gumdrops!!

YNS May Feature Day

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's Feature Day at Your Next Stamp!!

Feature Day Theme Is....
Artist Inspiration

I found inspiration from Jackson Pollock!

He was well known for his unique style of drip painting!  As well as ink splatters!

I love abstract art!  In collage, while getting my Graphic Design and Art degree, I did a lot of abstract art designs!  So I was inspired to created a fun abstract background for my card today using some fun stamps!!

Here is the painting I found inspiration from:

He tended to use dark colors!  I prefer bright fun colors, so I decided to just find inspiration from his style and create a fun bright birthday card!

I used the Mud Splatter, Got Mud? and Paint Swooshes and Splatters to create the background for my card:

I think it turned out really fun! A great masculine birthday card, in my opinion!!

I used the Holly Berry Red, Pumpkin Orange, Sunflower Yellow, Olive Green and Blue Curacao ink pads to ink my stamps with!!

To stay with his darker style, I decided to die cut the 'Happy Birthday' from the Scripty Happy Birthday Die Set in black paper and add it to my background!  I like how kind of blends into my background!!

I finished off my card by adding a few Gumdrops by the sentiment!!

Hello Stamping Friends!

It's that time of the month at Your Next Stamp!!

It's Preview Day today!
Which means tomorrow is Release Day!!!!

So excited to share my projects with you!!  I am so in love with this release, as always!!

---------------------

Today I am featuring the new Paint Swooshes and Splatters!!  This stamp set has 10, different paint swooshes/splatters!!  I love the endless possibilities and fun you can create with this set!!

I decided to start by using two of the paint swooshes!!  I stamped them in some fun, bright colors!!

As I thought it would then be fun to stamp the Mini Star Ink Splatter in black ink over some of the swooshes!  As well as stamping the large "Happy" and "birthday" from the awesome Happy Everything stamp set!!

I just LOVE this fun card design!!
