May New Release Blog Hop!

Posted by: YNS on Monday, May 23, 2011 at 12:00 pm

It’s new release day! YIPPEE!!! I’m so excited to be bringing you all these fabulous new stamps!!! I instantly fell in love with Fhiona Galloway’s adorable Flower Pot Fairies, Franfou’s little mice are always so cute plus be sure to check out Mini Chompy! Dale’s new box scenes are a wonderful addition to the YNS collection and we’ve got an incredible new sentiment set designed by Heather Rolin plus a fun handwritten set designed by myself and DT member Kerri! There are 14 new stamps/stamp sets in total and I hope you love them all as much as I do!

The DT have been working hard to bring you a fun hop today so if you didn’t arrive here from Wendy’s Blog be sure to go to the start of the hop over at Kerri’s Blog and I’ll see you back here soon!

If you have arrived here from Wendy’s Blog then you are on the right track and you’ve made it to the final stop on the hop – YAY! I hope you enjoyed all the fabulous DT projects!

My hop project is featuring the new Franfou image Balloon Ride which I think is so CUTE! I made this card for Brandon’s birthday and since his favorite color is orange I just knew I had to paper piece the balloon with orange designer paper plus he loves buttons so I embellished some of the circles with buttons. He opened it up and said “ORANGE, BUTTONS…I LOVE IT!” LOL Just the reaction I was hoping for from my adorable little 3 year old.

Before you go remember to leave a comment on my blog PLUS enter your name into the linky below for your chance to win our new release prize package! Also I hope you commented on all the blogs along the way, we’ve got 2 secret prize blogs and I’ll be drawing a name from the comments on these 2 blogs to win a new release stamp!

May New Release Sneak Peek Day 1

Posted by: YNS on Friday, May 20, 2011 at 7:00 am

Hello Friends and Happy Friday!

I’m so excited to be bringing you some fabulous new stamps this coming Monday so I thought it would be fun to show a few peeks over the next few days! YAY!

This release is packed full of fun new images from your favorite YNS artists and I can’t for the new release hop on May 23rd as the DT always have so many fabulous creations to share with us!

Today I’ve got a Franfou peek for you!

DT member Wendy made this fabulous card using the new Jumbo Flamingo Fred stamp. This stamp is currently available as a smaller Flamingo Fred stamp and since he’s been so well loved I thought he needed to be released as a larger stamp with a few fun co-ordinating sentiments.

I hope you enjoyed our Friday Sneak Peek! I’ll see you again tomorrow!

Happy Stamping!

Posted by: YNS on Sunday, May 15, 2011 at 7:00 am

Hi everybody! It’s Maureen and I wanted to share a card with you today:

I used the new Wishing You Wonderful set. The tree is perfect for paper piecing and I love the sweet sentiment! The whole tree is popped up on foam boosters so it qualifies for YNS Challenge #42 – Pop It Up!

I hope you like it and TFL!

Later Gator!

Hi! Wendy here with you today, and I’m excited to share with you my DT sample for the new challenge we have over on the Your Next Stamp Challenge blog…

~ Pop It Up ~

I’ve used this happy gator called, So Happy for You. I cut the image out and put a wobbler behind him for springy motion and fun!! I really have to keep the kids away from this one, they love to watch him jiggle!! 🙂 My DP is Basic Grey’s Origins and Faux Croc skin paper that I picked up at JoAnn’s.

Here’s a side view of the spring and other elements that have been popped.

The sketch I’ve used is this month’s Sketch For You To Try which is being sponsored by Your Next Stamp. If you participate in the sketch challenge you can receive a 10% discount off Your Next Stamp purchase!! How cool is that?!?!

So pop up those images or paper panels and enter for your chance to win some YNS goodies. You don’t have to use a YNS image to enter, but if you do, you’ll receive two entries into the prize drawing. The prize this challenge is this super cute stamp called Fetch.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

YNS Challenge #42 – Pop It Up

Posted by: YNS on Wednesday, May 11, 2011 at 7:00 am

Well it’s time for another YNS Challenge – YAY! Our hostess for YNS Challenge #42 is the lovely Jenny and she has challenged us to Pop It Up! I love using dimensionals on my cards so this was an easy challenge for me – thanks Jenny!

I used the new stamp set Flutterbug Wishes for my card and decided to pop up the colored ‘One of a Kind’ butterfly for some added ‘pop’. This is the card I gave my Mom for Mother’s Day and she loved it!

Here is a closer look…

I’m sure you noticed that the sentiment is stamped in multi colors…

well if you have had the chance to meet me at an event and do a make and take with me then you already know how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE these awesome Kaleidacolor ink pads! I finally got in all 20 colors so be sure to check them out over at the YNS store!
