I want an Easter egg, I want an Easter egg!!
Oh the sweet sound of little ones running around collecting their Easter eggs.
It’s Dana here showcasing the new released Fhiona’s Easter Basket. I just thought this was the cutest basket ever. My kids are too old for Easter baskets so I will have to live through this holiday making Easter baskets and cards for other little ones.
I paper pieced the ribbon on my Easter basket to show you how awesome and easy paper piecing is. If you haven’t tried it, give it a spin today. Don’t forget you still have time to participate in the blog hop that going on here at YNS. Click here for more details and your chance to win some stamps. Be sure to swing by the store and pickup all the goodies that Karen has in stock. You will have plenty to pick from. Happy stamping and see ya soon!

Happy Saturday Everyone!!
It’s Wendy here with you today and I’m excited to share with you a card I made using Monkey Gone Bananas. He is just super duper adorable and comes with a sentiment and 3 other little accessory images too. (Leaves, Banana & Lotus Flower)
Everyone needs a little encouragement or a “pick me up” every once in awhile and I wanted to have a card in my stash to send to someone who might need it. And I think this sweet little guy would cheer anyone on! 🙂 YNS images are all so versatile that it’s easy to get tons of use from just one stamp set. This monkey would be great for Father’s Day, Valentines, Birthday’s, Thinking of You….okay, okay you get the point! LOL
Oh, and this stamp set is 35% off right now too!! 🙂

Happy Friday everyone, it’s Diana here and I’m taking over the The Your Next Stamp Blog for the day *grins*. Today I’m going to share a few cards I created recently.
My first card features Dancing Princess from YNS. You can never have enough shoes and purses, am I right? I colored the images using my Copics, and then added Stickles to sparkle things up a bit. You can never have enough glitter as far as I’m concerned (or enough shoes and purses) lol. The sketch is from last weeks Splitcoast Challenge 321. Who doesn’t love being Totally Chic?!
My second card features the same stamp set and it’s a scalloped round card. I figured this would be perfect to add a gift card to for friends, sisters, or other female family members. The Sketch is from Mojo Mondays 180.
Speaking of shopping, there is currently an awesome sale going at the YNS Store now. There is a Sale AND a Clearance section as well, so make sure you check out both. We also still have our ongoing ‘Feeling Blue’ Challenge over at the YNS Challenge Blog, with a couple of awesome prizes up for grabs. I’m excited to see what you all create for this challenge.
I hope everyone has a Safe and Happy weekend. Thank you so much for visiting us today!

Hi everyone! It’s Maureen here and I have a cute little project to share with you:

Before I go I wanted to remind you of our new challenge that just started yesterday – use the color blue on your project. There’s plenty of time to enter so I hope you’ll play along!

Hey everyone!
Just popping by to let you know that the brand new YNS Challenge #37 has been posted today and our challenge this fortnight is the colour challenge of BLUE. So we want to see a little or a lot of this fab colour on your challenge entries!
You don’t have to use a YNS stamp on your challenge creation to enter our prize draw, but of course it would be wonderful if you do! If you do enter a new YNS creation, you will be entered twice into the prize draw and then also entered into our Top Pick contest – that’s three chances to win from one entry, pretty cool don’t you think? [If you don’t use a YNS stamp, please note that you can only enter one card per challenge – thanks!]
Whilst you’re there, why not have a wee look at the Inventory Blow Out Sale section, where Karen has listed selected stamp/stamp sets at 35% off! But wait … that’s not all! Be sure to hop on over to the Clearance section where you can find selected cling-mounted stamps at 50% off, selected bare rubber stamps at 60% off, selected embellishments at 35% off and a few 4.5×6.5″ sampler designer paper packs at 35% off! WOW! What a great time to snag a bargain … or two…or three, LOL!
We also have a BRAND NEW and exciting product that has just been added to the site … YNS Glittered Skittles. That’s right, Your Next Stamp now has its very own YNS Embellies! Glittered Skittles are fun embellishments with a dash of glitter perfect for cards and scrapbook pages. You can easily adhere them with glossy accents, and they come in a variety of colours and in 2 sizes (4mm and 3mm). Here’s a picture of the yummy variety pack called “Fruit Salad”, but you can also buy them in single colour packs. CLICK HERE to view the complete range.
When you’ve finished filling your basket, do hop on over to the YNS Challenge blog to see the beautiful creations from the rest of the DT.
