The new Gone to Maui stamp set certainly takes me to my happy place. I can see many fun scenes being made with this set. But when I first saw this stamp set all I could think about is making a really, really, cute mini shaker window with the Tiki Hut. So lets jump right into it.
Read MoreThought with Easter only a few weeks a way I would play with the new Easter set Easter Pirouette Stamp and Die. I also want to share a few tricks I have for adding some subtle shimmer and shine to your cards.
Read MoreJanuary is the month I pull out all of my adorable stamps about “Love”. In my house usually the upcoming Valentines Day is about making a few cards for my boys and some fun cards for their friends (not so much now that they are older). However if the past couple of years has taught me anything, sending a card to let people know that you love and appreciate them is important at anytime, so all those Valentine’s stamps are great for love messages all year round : ) Your Next Stamps January release is a mini one, but it is full of love to share.
Read MoreToday is the last day to save on 5 adorable wintery stamp sets that Your Next Stamp has on sale. The final stamp set being showcased is the adorable Holiday Sparkle set. If you haven't had a chance to check out all the inspiration you should head to YNS blog to see what the rest of the design team has created.
Seems that every Holiday season I like to take one of my stamp sets and change it up so that it becomes an ornament hanging on a Christmas tree. It is certainly a great way to extend your stamps beyond there intended use. This year I decided on a cute little bunny to hang out on an ornament.
Read MoreWelcome to Day 2 of Your Next Stamp November Release. So many really great stamp sets and ideas for Holiday cards and Holiday wrapping. This release will have you all set for your Christmas projects.
The ‘Cozy Christmas’ stamp set is just that cozy. It completely inspired the traditional side of me with red, green and gold.

I decided to see what different ways I could create a card with the Slim Stripe Panel Die from Your Next Stamp (YNS) with just the die and sentiment die - Bold Happy Word Set. What I created was really only scratching the surface of options. Thinking perhaps in the future I might try using it as a stencil with glitter paste or simply using the die cut colour stripes without the frame. Or I wander if I could partially die cut it for a shorter card. Hmmm so many options, not enough crafty time : )
Read MoreThese cards are from Purple Onion Designs and Stacey Yacula’s latest release Sunshine Lake that came out in May. When I first got them I couldn’t wait to colour them in. However at the time I didn’t have time to colour in a full background so I choose a technique that I’ve used in the past stamping backgrounds in silver pearl embossing powder. Funny I did that technique last with Purple Onion Go to the Fair collection of stamps.
Read MoreUltimately when you choose to go the rainbow route what colours should you choose for the rest of the card. The plan from the get go was to create a rainbow unicorn. And initially I was really happy with how the zig clean real brush markers blended to create a rainbow mane and horn. But then how to handle the flowers; rainbow would be just too much, perhaps some light pinks and greens?
