Happy New Release Day 1!!!!

Quite often I get asked these 2 very popular questions…

Will you ever release Fhiona as an individual stamp?
Can I order YNS stamps with cling mount already attached?

Well I am very excited to say YES to both of those questions today! YIPPEE!!!!

Today I’m releasing 10 single Fhiona’s! You’ll also notice that I’m retiring the sets that these Fhiona’s belong to and the quantities are limited so be sure to grab the sets that are on your wish list before they are gone!

I’m also very excited about the new cling add on option! This allows you to choose to either have your stamps shipped to you unmounted (bare rubber) or you can now have them arrive at your door mounted onto cling foam, all trimmed and ready to slap onto an acrylic block for all your stamping fun!

The starlets have made some fab creations using a handful of the new Fhiona single stamps…

Simonne – Flying High Fhiona

Maureen – Flower Bouquet Fhiona

Kerri – Bubbly Fun Fhiona

Cabio – Flying High Fhiona

Amy – Cupcake Cutie

Angela – Fairy Fhiona

Maylee – Shopper Fhiona

Jodi {June Guest Starlet} – Flower Bouquet Fhiona

This is only the beginning of the new releases! I’ll be back on June 5th with the brand spankin new Fhiona Elegant series and then on June 8th we have a super fun blog hop planned and it’s packed full of new Dale Designs, new Franfou Designs, an adorable new Ellie and a new little boy Ethan plus 4 new Fhiona sets along with some additional Fhiona accessories!!!

YNS Challenge #17 – Use a Border Punch!

Posted by: YNS on Wednesday, May 26, 2010 at 4:07 am

YAY! It’s time for another YNS challenge! Maylee is our super talented hostess for YNS Challenge #17 and she has challenged us to use a border punch on our card or creation!

I LOVE punches and especially love all the fun new border punches that all the different companies keep introducing to the crafting world! I decided to make a simple yet fun summer treat card using Fhiona’s Favorite Treats stamp set and thought that this Martha Stewart goo punch was perfect for a dripping ice cream effect!

I hope you decide to join in the fun for your chance to win some YNS bucks! YIPPEE!!
