Hello everyone!   This month we have two wonderful guest designers joining us for the entire month, Dian Ratna Sari and Kate Dykstra.   You may have already seen some of their creations if you took part in the July New Release Blog Hop (Pssst…today is the last day to leave comments on the hop for a chance to win a YNS gift certificate).

Each of our designers this month was found on Instagram sharing their YNS creations.   We loved what we saw so they were invited to join us for the month.

Scroll down to learn more about our guest designers and check out a card from each.

Hello crafters! I’m Kate Dykstra from Small Bits of Paper and I’m delighted to be this month’s guest designer at Your Next Stamp. I live in Ontario, Canada with my wonderful husband and we have three children – two in post-secondary and one who will begin secondary school in the fall. I’m a Learning Strategist by day and a paper crafter by night!

I began paper crafting in 2005 and initially thought I’d like to scrapbook. However, once I made my first set of cards, I was hooked! I began with electronic die cuts and have started using more image stamps in the past year and am loving the calming effect of colouring. I discovered Your Next Stamp earlier this year and quickly became hooked on the fabulous stamps and dies.

Be sure to stop by and say “hi” to each of our July guests!   You will see more from each of them tomorrow in our Design Team Dare post with a chance for you to comment and win a stamps set of your choice.
