Your Next Stamp Birthday Blog Hop Release!!

Hello! We have another special Blog Hop this month because Your Next Stamp is celeBrating its 3rd Birthday!!! We are so excited aBout this milestone, and we have some fun and ADORABLE projects to share with you today!

We are making this Hop more fun, because we have put together a scavenger hunt! Each DT member and guest has a Bold, colored letter (single letter) on her Blog. Collect all the letters and unscramBle them to find the special saying. Once you do that, e-mail Karen at karen@yournextstamp.com and you will qualify for the $25 YNS shopping spree GRAND PRIZE!!!

You have until August 9th at 12 midnight EST to play along and the winners will be announced August 10th on the YNS Blog !
Onto my projects.... 

My first project I created to celebrate our Birthday - HAPPY BIRTHDAY YNS!!! I used our Balloon Trio Die Set to create the balloons. My Sky background was created using my Copic airbrush and a scalloped die cut to make the cloud shapes. The sun was created using the newer Ann Ellis Sky Bird Set that we released last month.

The sentiment was created using Fancy Frame Sentiment Stamp Set. 

My Second project is a new release this month, Fab-u-licios.  What a perfect card for the upcoming School Season!!! It can also be used as a house warming card as it comes with another sentiment that says, 'Congrats on your new home'.

 

I did not have a red prima so I colored this one with a copics so it would match the card. It originally started out as an Orange Prima flower.

 As always we have some awesome specials at the YNS Store ! Everyone will receive a FREE scratch card with every purchase all month long or while supplies last! Every card is a WINNER!

You will receive 25% off your order August 6th-August 10th! The online code to use when shopping is HAPPY. Karen has just improved the YNS Store website , so make sure you check it out! We now have larger thumbnails so you can see these adorable images even better!

Now, it’s time to hop on over to Kelli's fabulous blog, but before you go, don’t forget about the scavenger hunt! Look closely above for my Letter. I wonder what it can B?

Your Next Stamp Sneak Peek!!

Did everyone have a wonderful Easter? I really hope so. My Mom visited last week from New York (her first visit here to Missouri) and it was really fun and exciting, so Easter was low key for Kelly and I. We spent the day cleaning and planting up our pond lol. We set up the waterfall and fountain. Did lots of plantings and really spruced it all up. I'm told physical labor is good for you - my muscles tend to disagree - hehehe.  

Today I'm showing a sneak peek of a new set that is being released with Your Next Stamp for April. The official Blog Starts: Wednesday, April 11th at 6 am (EST) and Ends: Sunday, April 15th at midnight (EST). Make sure you come back on the 11th to join in on all the fun. 

 Here is Sneak Peek at Latte Ellie!

She is so super adorable! The perfect image for so many cards. Thanks a Latte, Love you a Latte, Latte Love - the options are endless on the Latte sentiments.  

 

Thanks so much for visiting and make sure come back and see me on the 11th for the official hop and some fun and prizes!

Now I know I say this every release, but one of today's releases is the most fabulous Stamp and Die set of all time. Dress up Fhiona Stamp and Die set!!!! This set is so addictive for all the combinations you can make. A Butterfly, Dragonfly, Bumblebee, Bunny, Cat, Dog etc....

Since I have been setting up my seedlings for planting for the Spring I have been making a bunch of Plant Markers. I created these lil cuties to put in my planters outside to dress them up.

I even laminated them so they can be outside and not be damaged by the weather!

Once I started creating these cuties, I just couldn't stop. They really are so addicting. I am in love with this set!

I even added Stickles to each to make them really sparkly when the sun hits them! 

These would look adorable in indoor or outdoor planters :)

Don't forget to leave a comment to qualify for the prizes. Karen also has put together some awesome bundles for sale at the YNS Store, and we have an awesome Bargain Bin not to be missed.

Today I am using Libby From Jamaica. Super adorable. 

I tried to stay true to Jamaica and picked their flag colors. The sentiment I created on my PC, but I did not make it up myself. The saying is actually an Essie Nail Polish color lol. I'm really big into nail polish and I have a gigantic collection, so this name came right to mind when I saw this stamp. It was a perfect match.

I added a bottle top and a heart! My honey is always making me crazy, and I thought this would be the perfect Valentine's Day card.

I added bling on her dress with stickles and some yellow pearls. Totally fun to color this image up. 

The next stop on this Hop is Maureen's Blog for aother fun project. The new stamps today are amazing and I hope you guys are having a fun Hop!

Thanks for taking time to visit.

If you arrived here from Jen D's Blog you are right on track. If not, you can start at the beginning of the hop at Jenny S's Blog.

Of course we have prizes too :) Winners will receive a stamp set of your choice from the New Jenny Design sets you will see along the hop. Make sure to take note of your favorites.  One of the YNS DT Members is a secret blogger, so you will have to leave comment on all the blogs if you want the best chance at winning. The winners will be post on the YNS Blog on January 17th.

The stamp sets being released today are: 

Special Delivery (Elephant Set)
  Love is in the Air (Giraffe Set)

& Basket Animals (Balloon Basket with 5 Animals) 

The stamp set that I used for my card is called Love is in the Air.

 

I absolutely love this stamp set, and I will be using this over and over again, it's so fun! The Giraffe Pattern was cut by hand to create the Giraffe skin. This was my favorite part as I did not have Giraffe Skin DP lol.

As much as I would love to take credit for this design lol, it was not my idea. I CASE'd this wonderful card I found on the SplitCoast Gallery from stampwithkristine. Her card is amazing huh?

I added a little glitter with my Spica pens and some rhinestones.

I don't think I can create cards without adding glitter somewhere :)

I also added some Clouds and now Love is in the Air lol!
