Twinkles Glow with Stamps

Happy Saturday Everyone!! I hope you are having a great weekend!!

With fall coming up this week, the Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs is challenging you to use fall colors or a fall theme!!




Here is my take on the challenge:






For my creation, I used the Seeds and the Garden Tag Releases from the Our Daily Bread Designs September release.  The image is from the Garden Tag set and is colored with copics.  The quote  is from the Seeds set and is cut out with the Spellbinders Grommet Tags Trio.  This gift box uses the Pop n Top Template which is available as an SVG or PNG. file from Perfect Presentations and some Basic Grey Curio dp.



To join the challenge, please link your creation here.




Thanks for stopping by and for all your comments!! They are greatly appreciated!!
Have a great weekend!!

We have some amazing new YNS stamps to show you today! These new stamps are available to buy right now from the Your Next Stamp store along with all your YNS favourites.

If you would like to participate in the hop and you didn't arrive here from Diana Genario 's blog, please CLICK HERE to return to the start of the hop at Simonne’s blog, as you don't want to miss these fab new releases!

The hop starts today (8 March 2011 at 08:00 EST) and ends on 11 March 2011 at midnight EST.

As always here at Your Next Stamp, we have a wonderful prize for you to win! One lucky winner will be drawn at random from the links in the linky list to receive a surprise package of new release stamps!

You will see that every stop along the hop has a linky list - this is the SAME linky list posted on every blog, so that you can enter the prize draw from any stop along the hop (although we hope you will visit every blog!). The linky will update itself on everyone's blog when a link is entered - how cool is that? Please remember to only enter your name ONCE into the linky list during the hop - you do NOT need to enter your name at every stop and multiple entries will be removed. It's not a requirement for you to comment at every stop along the hop to be eligible to be entered into the prize draw, but the DT would sure love to hear what you think of our new release creations!

Karen is also running a special 10% off promotion from today until 14 March 2011. Just enter the code YNSMARCH when checking out to apply your 10% discount. There are also some FANTASTIC special offers and promotions running over at the YNS store at the moment, so once you've finished the hop be sure to hop on over and check out the clearance sections: 35% off selected stamps - 50% off selected stamps - 60% off selected bare rubber stamps - 35% off selected embellishments - 35% off selected DP sampler packs. WOW! What a great time to grab a bargain!


Now on to my blog hop creation:

For my blog hop creation I have used the Mini Bunny Fhiona stamp to create a set. 

 The easter basket uses a spring basket template from Perfect Presentations designed by the talented Leigh Ann Baird.  The designer paper is from K and Co Sweet Nectar.  The buttons are from Recollections.  The handle is punched with a Martha Stewart Flower Border Punch. The image is colored with copics.
Here is a side view.

Here is the matching card.  The sentiment is typed on my PC and cut out with oval Nestabilies which I later embossed with Provocraft Spots.  The dp is also from K and Co. Sweet Nectar.

I have entered these creations in the following challenges: Craft Your Passion -Anything Goes, Incy Wincy Designs - Pastel Colors, Lexi Creations - Easter, Aly's Sunday Challenge - Anything Goes, Card Cupids - Anything Goes, Crafty Pad - Ribbon,  Creative Inspirations - Use a Template Stampin For the Weekend - Spring, 4 Crafty Chicks - Stitching, Cute Card Thursday - Signs of Spring, Delightful Challenges- Welcome Spring, Rubber Cafe - Stitching Card Creations & More By C  SparkleFairy Tale - something for a child or with a child's imageHouse of Gilli  - GreenKaboodle Doodles - Go GreenKarens Doodles  - Go GreenPink Elephant  - Buttons, lace and ribbonSentimental Sundays - SENTIMENT and Pearls & LaceCard Makin' Mamas -  something greenTotally Papercrafts - pearls & laceSimon Says Stamp - recipe - 1 image, 2 DP, 3 embellishments

So now it's time for you to hop on over to Karen's blog as she is the next and final stop on our hop, but I'd love it if you left me a comment before you go!

Thanks so much for hopping with us today! I hope you enjoy our new release!

Hugs,

November 18. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday.

For my sleigh I used the
Poinsettia Background, Poinsettia tag, Mistletoe Tag sets
from Our Daily Bread Designs.  The sleigh itself was created using the winter sleigh template from Perfect Presentations. I embossed the poinsettia background in silver on the blue cardstock before assembling.  The treats on the inside are almonds tarts.  To make the blades, I embossed white paper in silver to give it sparkle and the silver color.
