T-Shirt Season

Posted by: Julie Elak on Saturday, June 4, 2022 at 12:00 am

Guest designer Irene Rhodes is back with her final post for the week.

It is close to summer in the northern hemisphere. A staple of summer is t-shirts and flip flops, right? Irene is putting the Cool Tees stamp set and Flip Flop Fun dies to work, creating matching sets for several summer occassions.

Are you ready to celebrate Canada Day? Irene’s card is ready to celebrate on July 1st! The Little Leaves die set contains 2 sizes of maple leaves and Irene used both. The larger leaf on the shirt is a die cut and the smaller die was used as a stencil to create the leaves on the flip flops.

There are plenty of other celebrations coming up, how about the 4th of July in the USA? Or a rainbow for Pride Month? There are so many ways that the t-shirt stamp can be used.

YNS Supplies: Cool Tees Stamp and Die sets, Tea Time Shaker/Tag stamp set (Iguana), Cool Tag Banner Sentiment stamp set, Flip Flop Fun Dies, Kup Topper Die Set (Star), Little Leaves Die Set

Thank you Irene for being a wonderful guest and sharing so many creative cards this week!

Alphabet Fun

Posted by: Julie Elak on Tuesday, May 31, 2022 at 12:00 am

Happy Monday everyone!

Guest designer Irene Rhodes is back with a way to stretch the way you use stamps!

Have you ever thought about creating your own alphabet? Irene does just that with today’s card.

The word DAD was created using stamps from the Handyman Stamp Set. Irene arranged the tools to use them as letters for DAD. She started by making a pattern for the letters, then traced it in around the stamped tools.

Are you off to incorporate stamps in to letters? What sets would you use?

Hello everyone, my name is Irene Rhodes. I’m so happy to be back on the Your Next Stamp blog as a guest designer. Its been almost ten years and so much has changed, but my love for the Your Next Stamp brand has not. My husband retired on my 50th birthday and we moved from the beaches of Florida to the mountains of east Tennessee. My favorite style is still clean and simple, but I do love to throw in a fun surprise now and again.

In honor of Memorial Day in the United States, Irene made an easel card featuring the Flip Flop Fun die set. She used torn kraft card stock to create the beach. Each flip flop is tucked between the layers of paper sand to appear as if they are ‘stuck’ in the sand!
