Halloween Fun with FS


Hello Stamping Friends!


I have a HALLOWEEN card to share with you using dies from Frantic Stamper!!

Just yesterday Frantic Stamper released a new line of Halloween Dies!!
Be sure to check them all out here!

I had such a fun time getting a head start on my Halloween cards!!

I have two cards to quickly share with you!

Both use the fun new Stitched Corner-Cut Tags Die set to create the card bases!!
 I also used the fun Spooky Happy Halloween Die on both for the sentiment!!  Such a fun die cut sentiment, I love it!
This first one I thought it would be fun to create as a shaker card!!

On the next one, I only used the Halloween portion of the die cut sentiment, and stamped the Happy.
I also used the cute Spiderweb Corner and Spider Die set!  I die cut the spiderweb three times and adhered it to the top left corner of my card.  And finished it off by adding the cute spider!!

This die release really has me looking forward to Halloween!!

Have a lovely day!

Only Worry

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I'm on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog today!!

Today I am featuring the NEW Flip Flops stamp set!
So exciting!!

The fun Adirondack chair caught my attention first!  I love the silhouetted of the chair, so I thought it would be fun to have some fun with some ink and a stencil!!



I started by using the Paradise Ink and stencil to create a the pattern on the bottom left corner of my white cardstock!
I used painter's tape to hold the stencil in place as I added the ink with a sponge!!

I thought the Paradise Ink was the perfect color choice!  Kind of making it seem as if it were water!

I then added a fun sentiment from the set!
Can you guess which one?!?

I love the "Only Worry in the world is the Tide gonna reach My Chair" sentiment!
How fun!!

The stenciled edge really adds the perfect touch, I think!  
Perfect with the chair then stamped on top!

Remember to sit back and relax occasionally in our crazy fast paced world!!

Have a beautiful day!  Have a fun and safe 4th!!

Happy 4th


Hello Stamping Friends!


I have a card to share with you today inspired by the 4th of July tomorrow!

I used the fun Nested Plain Star In-Betweens from  Frantic Stamper for this shaker!
I also used the Diagonal Card Sketcher die set for the stitched banner!! 

I used the 4th of July Clear Stamp Set from SweetStamps.com for the sentiment on the banner!

Have a lovely day!

YNS July Release Day

Hello Stamping Friends!

 It's release day at Your Next Stamp!!!
I just love release day!
More than you know!! hehe

So MANY great new stamp sets and dies being released today!!!
I can't contain myself, like always!




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

First up I am sharing this super adorable card, using the cute new Fairytale Friends stamp set!!  As well as the matching Fairytale Friends Die Set!!
Isn't the mushroom house adorable?!  As well as the cute dear?!

There is so much cuteness in this stamp set!  The adorable house, 5 different animals and a bunch of cute sentiments!!

I decided to use the "Happy Hello" sentiment from the set!  Which I stamped on the die cut Topper Die!  I love this new die!!
I used the Circles with Stitching and Piercing Die Set to die cut one of the circles to place the house and deer on!

Cute, Cute, Cute!!

Next up, I have another card to share with you that I had so much fun creating!

I used a bunch of new products on this sweet card...
I combined the new Scribble Fun Two and School Notes stamp sets! 

I started by first die cutting the cute Large Stitched Apple Die from my white card base!  With another piece of white cardstock I stamped some of the fun stamps from the Scribble Fun Two stamp set, one in red and the other brown, to give the colors of the apple.

I then die cut the leaf and did the same thing!

I stamped the adorable school bus from the School Notes stamp set and die cut it with the matching School Notes Die Set!  At first I was going to color in the bus, but then thought it would be fun to use the Scribble Fun Two stamp set to color in the bus!  I love how it turned out!!
The "Smile" sentiment is also from the School Notes stamp set!

Such a fun stamp set to send sweet notes to school for your kids to find!!

So fun!!!
