Here we are at day 2 of Your Next Stamp’s Christmas Release. This release Your Next Stamp is changing it up and showcasing the new products which are already available in the online store. There is also 2 chances to win a $25 egift card to Your Next Stamp online store. Details can be found at the end of the blog.

In addition to making lots of cards for the holidays, I also enjoy making gift tags. I thought it would be fun to try and take the trendy edge to edge shaker, also called infinity shaker and shrink it down to gift tag size.

I always love Christmas card making and of course that means I love checking out all the knew crafty supplies to make holiday cards and projects. Your Next Stamp Christmas Release is full of lots of fun stamps, dies and stencils. Which leads me to this question; are you in the “I love stencils camp” or “give me a background die any day of the week” or even “I want it all, stencils and dies”? I have 2 same but different cards. Both use Candy Cane Cat, but one is with zig real clean brush markers and a diagonal stencil the other is Copics and diagonal die. I’d loved to know which one you prefer between the two.

After a little summer break Your Next Stamp is celebrating 12 years with a super fun playful release that is full of birthday themed stamps, dies and brand new to the shop stencils. Oh so many great stencils. These happens to be day one of previews, the full release will be available this Thursday. For day 1 I had a complete blast ink blending and layering stencils to create these playful birthday cards, because no celebration is complete without a birthday card. For each card I choose to play around with a different stencil and sentiment from the Birthday Greetings Stamp set.
