Your Next Stamp - Sketch/Colour Challenge # 25

Welcome to our sketch and colour challenge #25 at Your Next Stamp. Each challenge includes a sketch and colour options to inspire you.

Create a project based on the sketch and/or the colour combination. If you are working with the colours use at least 3 of the colours and you can add only neutrals.

Today I worked the sketch into the design for a Halloween Treat box. At the request of my daughter (this is for her teacher) I used Waddle Trick or Treat; creating a treat box that is 2.5 x 2.5 x 4 inches.

I used the fun Doodlebug October 31 paper to decorate the tiny treat box.

On the back of the box I used the Halloween Phoebe die set to create spooky scene from black card stock.

For our sketch and colour challenge # 25 you have until October 29, 2015 (midnight) to play along. You can see more inspiration and link up your projects over at Your Next Stamp.

One random participant will WIN a $15 gift card to the YNS store. If you feature a YNS stamp or die (must be the main focal point) you will receive and additional $5. When you use a YNS image there is also a chance of being selected as a YNS Top Pick. That's right, bragging rights for you and a fabulous badge to show off on your blog! Sounds exciting right? Ink up your stamps and show us your crafty stuff!

Have a fabulous and crafty Friday friends!

Your Next Stamp September DT Dare

This month at YOUR NEXT STAMP, our Design Team (DT) Dare challenge is called ABC. That means we were given the challenge to create Anything But a Card!

When this challenge comes up, I do have a few "go to" projects that I like to use. Note pad holders, book marks, scrapbook pages and gift boxes are all great options. Having so many fabulous Halloween stamps and dies, this month I decided to create a gift box. This will go as a gift to one of my daughter's teachers this year. It's so nice to be ahead of schedule on a few things.

I inked up mummy Waddles from the WADDLES TRICK OF TREAT to decorate my 4x4 Halloween treat box.

I have done a few gift boxes in a variety of sizes. They are easy to make, and work for all seasons and occasions. I decorated this box using paper from Jillibean Soup Owloween Stew collection.

Measurements for a 4 x 4 x 1.5 inch box:
Box Base: 7 inches square scored at 1.5 inches on all sides
Lid: the cardstock for the lid will measure 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch large than the piece cut for the bottom of the box. Score again 1.5 inches on all sides.

Just load up the box with a few goodies and it's all ready for your child's teach, a coworkers or friend.

Here is a closer look a sweet mummy Waddles. I used the Waddles Trick or Treat die set to cut out the image. I also added a few of the new gumdrops called Candy Corn and Spellbound. 

Supplies Used:
Stamps: WADDLES TRICK OF TREAT
Dies: Waddles Trick or Treat, Stitched Square Die
Paper: Jillibean Soup Owloween Stew
Other: Candy Corn and Spellbound Gumdrops

Your Next Stamp September Release Blog Hop

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

This month we are enjoying a WICKED release that features a lot of fabulous Halloween stamps and dies, more Silly Monsters, and some deliciously fun coffee themed stamps and dies.

I love creating Halloween cards and projects. As the kids are getting ready for back to school we also start working ahead on a few seasonal cards for their teachers and do some planning on our Halloween projects for their classmates. For my first card I used HALLOWEEN PHOEBE stamp and die set along with elements from the SPOOKY SCENE die set to create a shaker card.

I also like to decorate the inside of the card to coordinate with the outside  I stamped sweet Phoebe in a coordinating colour and added some left over pattern paper along with the sentiment from this set.

Here is a look at the new stamp and die sets used for this card.

My second card I used the darling WADDLES TRICK OR TREAT stamp. I coloured up the cute pirate Waddles and used the Echo Park's A Pirate's Life to complete the pirate themed Halloween card.

Here is a look at the new stamp used for this card.

In celebration of this month's release, Karen has a fabulous deal for you!
