Best Fishes!

Posted by: on Friday, April 29, 2011 at 7:00 am

Happy Friday all,

It’s Diana here with a special fishy something lol. I wanted to share a card I created using Fhiona’s Pet Fish. 
There are several other Fhiona Pet Stamps as well:  Fhiona’s Pet Bunny, Fhiona’s Pet Bird, Fhiona’s Pet Turtle, and Fhiona’s Pet Dog. They can all be found at the YNS Store. I think this line is so brilliant.
I used the older MOJO173 Sketch for this. I colored the image with my Copics and added the perfect coordinating buttons, as well as some dimension. 
I topped it all off with my new Nestabilities – Netted Fish. They worked out perfectly with this stamp.  I enjoyed breaking out my airbrush for the fishes.
Also, just a friendly reminder that we have a new Challenge up over at the YNS Challenge Blog.  We are working with Charms for this weeks challenge – So Charming. Hope you can come play along with us.
Thank you so much for visiting with us today, and I hope everyone has a fun and relaxing weekend!

YNS Challenge #41 – Charms

Posted by: on Wednesday, April 27, 2011 at 7:00 am

Hello friends!

I hope everyone had a fabulous Easter! We had so much fun visiting family and Brandon always has a blast playing with all his little cousins. Before I get to my challenge card I just had to share this adorable photo of Brandon and I hunting Easter eggs…check out the cute bunny ears :o)

It’s time for another YNS Challenge – YAY! Crystal is our wonderful hostess for YNS Challenge #41 and she has challenged us to use a charm on our card or project. I love charms and seem to stash them more than use them – oops!

If you don’t have any charms here are a few ideas the DT came up with…you could make your own from sparkly cardstock or emboss a cut out with silver or gold embossing powder, you could dangle a pretty button or bead off your card or even make one from play clay – FUN!

 I was excited to look through my charm stash and decided to use a flower charm for my card today. I paired it up with one of my favorite stamp sets by Heather Rolin – Happiness. I LOVE this set – the flowers make really fun DP and the sentiments are perfect for so many different cards and scrapbook pages – the possibilities are endless!

Be sure to check out all the FABULOUS DT creations over at the YNS challenge blog and join in the fun for your chance to win some YNS Stamps!
Happy Stamping!

HAPPY SPRING!!

Posted by: on Tuesday, April 26, 2011 at 7:00 am


HI everyone! Hope you all had a Happy Easter!!
Just wanted to share a card I did using the super sweet “Song Bird”
Isn’t she sweet, singing a spring melody!

As you see from all my creations, I love CAS cards. And this stamp makes for a great CAS card. You can also cut off the musical notes and use them for other projects like I have. For the background on this card, I just flicked my marker on the cap over the paper. I use Copic markers to color my images.

PS: You only have one day left to join us for the Texture It Challenge HERE!  We’ll have a new challenge for you on Wednesday.  

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

New Release Song Bird and YMSC40 Texture It challenge Reminder…

Posted by: on Thursday, April 21, 2011 at 10:00 am

Happy Thursday everyone. It is Chris here… Today I want to share a card I created with the darling new release from Your Next Stamp called  Song Bird.  One of my favorite things to do is watch the birds, especially blue birds.  Here is my creation:

I used paper from my Prima Madeline dp.  The image is colored with copics.  I also added spanish moss to the nest for texture.  The bird on the front is cut out with the Petite Ovals Spellbinders and my Spellbinders Grand Caliber.  The sentiment is computer generated.  The inside sentiment is cut out with the Spellbinders Labels 21.  In addition to my stitching, I added some hand drawn doodled faux stitching.

This card also fits this week’s challenge: Texture it with the added Spanish Moss and the dry embossing.  You too can join us for the YNSC40 challenge.  There is still 5 days to go until the challenge ends, just link your creation here. 

Thanks for stopping by!! Have a great day!!

Hoppy Easter!

Posted by: on Sunday, April 17, 2011 at 7:00 am

Hi everybody! It’s Maureen and from now on I’ll be posting here on the YNS Blog on the Sundays after the new challenge is posted. Here’s my card for today:

FhionaEasterBunny3
Since it’s almost Easter, I decided to use Easter Bunny Fhiona, this time actually leaving her as a bunny. But I did have to have some fun, so I made her dressed as a chocolate bunny!

I stamped Fhiona on a white cardstock circle and colored her face and basket with Copics and colored pencils/odorless mineral spirits. Then I paper pieced the bunny outfit on some (fittingly) Bo Bunny patterned paper and cut the pieces out, gluing them over the stamped image. BTW, the outfit was shaded with colored pencils and OMS also.

Finally I added a sentiment that comes with Fhiona and a couple little heart eggs from the Hoppy Easter Accessories set.

Just a quick reminder of a couple challenges going on:

I hope you like my card and will play along with either or both challenges! ~Maureen
