August 2015 New Release! Hop to WIN!

Posted by: YourNextStamp on Sunday, August 9, 2015 at 12:00 am

Hello! I know you’re here for a fabulous and fun blog hop but before you run off I just want to take a moment to say THANK YOU for being here with us and for helping us celebrate our 6th birthday! These past 6 years have been full of ups and downs, running a business isn’t easy…running a business while raising 2 kids is even harder but I wouldn’t change a thing! The ups definitely far out weigh any of the downs and I have my family, friends and all of you to thank for that! When I started YNS I never imagined I would meet so many fabulous people, I feel so blessed and honored that you have let myself and YNS into your lives and into your craft rooms. Thanks to your sweet emails and all your encouragement and support I look forward to going to ‘work’ every day! I appreciate you sharing your stories with me, they truly touch my heart! Most of all…thank you for using our products and for spreading joy all around the world by sharing your finished projects with your friends, family and even complete strangers that just need a little pick me up! Smiles and FUN is what YNS is all about! Hugs to all of you and cheers to many more years of adorable and fun to use YNS products! Now let’s get on with the show!

Welcome to our August New Release Birthday Celebration!

We have an AMAZING new release for you! We’ve got 9 NEW stamp sets, 15 NEW die sets AND 2 NEW Sparkly Gumdrop sets!!! WOOT! WOOT! I can’t wait for you to see all the FABULOUS projects the YNS DT and guests have created for you today! All the new goodies are available to purchase right now in the YNS Store!

Are you ready to see jaw dropping projects that are guaranteed to make you SMILE?! Once again, the DT and guests have completely ROCKED showcasing the new release! So much eye candy! Grab a drink and snack of choice and hop, hop, hop!

The hop starts on Jeanie’s blog and if you’ve already been hopping along you should have arrived here via Brianna’s blog. Please reference our linky at the bottom of this post for the entire hop list.

Be sure to leave a comment on all of the blogs for your chance to win a $50.00 YNS gift certificate. Woot! Woot!

The lucky winner will be announced on the Your Next Stamp Blog Aug 12th PLUS we’ll have another chance for you to WIN and lots more inspiration so you’ll want to mark your calendars and come back to visit the YNS blog on August 12th!

I decided to make some cute 3×3 note cards for my project today. These were so FUN to make and I was excited to try out the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I’m not a water-coloring expert and I’m sure with practice my watercolor skills will improve but I must say these markers were fun to use and I had a blast making these colorful backgrounds and coloring up the Party Animals! Just for the record…I am not being sponsored by Zig…I’m just a fan :o)
