Glittery Holiday

Posted by: Julie Elak on Monday, December 5, 2022 at 12:00 am

Say hi to Roslyn Jin! Roslyn is one of our guests for the month of December and *warning* she will be sharing the cutest creations!

We saw an adorable card Roslyn created with a YNS set on Instagram and the rest is history! We are so happy to have her joining us for the month. Scroll on down to learn a little more about Roslyn and to see her first guest card.

YouTube: Wing it with Ros

I was introduced to scrapbooking by a friend of mine close to 20 years ago. Then as time went on, I got into making projects with my Cricut Explore machine and started to make cards. I stumbled on a video that sparked my interest in using stamps and dies to create cards. I’ve always been drawn to super cute images hence my love for Your Next Stamp. I love to colour my stamped images with my copic markers and build cute scenes on my cards. I invest my time and energy into each and every card I make. I live in Ontario, Canada and I love supporting my local craft stores and Canadian stamp companies.

Roslyn’s first card features lots of glitter and the Candy Cane Cat stamp set.

YNS Supplies: Candy Cane Cat stamp and die sets, Mini Slim Diagonal Stripe Panel Die

Roslyn cut the Mini Slim Diagonal Stripe Panel Die from red glitter foam. Then cut using the same die but from the back of green glitter foam so it was the opposite way. Layers of glittery fun!

Roslyn will be back tomorrow with more inspiration.

Happy Stamping!

Ugly Sweater Season

Posted by: Julie Elak on Saturday, December 3, 2022 at 12:00 am

It’s Saturday, which means we have a card from guest, Kate Ward! This is Kate’s last card as a guest, but we hope to continue seeing Kate share YNS creations in the future.

Kate created a video on how she created this card, which you can find HERE on You Tube.

Kate’s card for today is quite on trend. How many of you own an ugly holiday sweater and celebrate wearing it throughout the holiday season? Wouldn’t it be fun to create one on paper too?!

YNS Supplies: Ugly Sweater Stamp and Die Sets

The best part about the Ugly Sweater set is that you can customize each sweater to your liking. Kate created 4 distinct sweaters, but there ware so many ways to mix and match (or not match! – it is up to you) with this set.

Thank you Kate for sharing your creativity with us over the past few weeks! We especially liked the videos that you created too!

Keep following Kate’s creations on IG @keightkrafts.

Happy Stamping!
