For my tag base, I used three shades of blue cardstock and die-cut three tags using the Cool Tag One die set. Then I used one of the Double Stitched Hills dies to die-cut two of the tags to create the look of waves. I attached each layer with thin foam squares to give my tag some fun dimension! :o)
The super-cute fish characters are from the new Aquarium Antics stamp set, and I used the coordinating dies to die-cut them. I love the tiny teeth on the little fish on the bottom -- I just think he's so cute!! :o)
The sentiment is also from the Aquarium Antics stamp set. I curved the stamp slightly as I was attaching it to my acrylic block so that the sentiment would fit nicely with the curve of the banner! TIP: When stamping on textured cardstock, you may not get a solid stamped impression. I use a black fineliner to fill in missing spots in my stamping!
If you'd like to make something for the current challenge, you can use this colour scheme or sketch [or both of them!]:
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a fun weekend! :o)

I'm back with a tiny project I made for Your Next Stamp's April Feature Day! We were asked to make something using "Little Ones" as our theme, so that could mean a baby project, something made with small stamps, a mini card, etc. I decided to make this teeny tiny 2" x 2" card...

I'm late to post my project for Your Next Stamp's colour challenge #62! I apologize for that...things have just been kind of tough lately. Here's the tag I made using four of the challenge colours...
Here's a look at the colour scheme I used from the colour challenge!
I'll be back soon with another YNS project! :o)

I'm back with another project, this time for the Your Next Stamp April DT Dare, which was to make something with a book theme!
I stamped the adorable cats from the new Scratch Pad stamp set and die-cut the image with the coordinating die. I decided to have them peeking up from a piece of book patterned paper! :D

Here to share this gift topper I made for a Humble toy using some fun things from Your Next Stamp!
I stamped one of the cute cats from the new Scratch Pad stamp set and die-cut him with the coordinating die. Instead of having him scratching at something, I decided to have him chasing a little mouse!
Happy Discovery: The Stitched Grass die cut fits *just right* within the stitched border of the Treat Topper die cut!! :D

Welcome to my stop on the Your Next Stamp blog hop for the April release!
For today's hop, we're all sharing more projects from the new release that's in their store now! There's a $25 gift certificate up for grabs for people who are hopping along, so be sure to check out the other crafters' blogs!
Here's what I made to share with you using the ADORABLE new Scratch Pad stamp set [I squealed over this set!!], as well as the super-fun Aquarium Antics stamp set, which I used in my earlier post from today...
Humble totally inspired this card, and I tried to colour the kitty to look kind of like him! His left hind leg looks different from this kitty's, though. :o) I coloured the images with coloured pencils and die-cut them with the Scratch Pad die set and Aquarium Antics die set!
Here's a look at the super-cute stamp sets I used -- I just love these!! :D
Here's a video I made showing some of the April goodies! I also recorded my 'brainstorming session' when I sketched out some project ideas, so hopefully you'll see an idea or two that you might like! :D
As always, Your Next Stamp is offering a GREAT discount to celebrate the new release. You can use this discount on your entire order, including previously released items!
Here are the other crafters who are participating in the blog hop today! The more blogs you comment on, the more chances you'll have of winning the $25 gift certificate, but you don't have to comment on all of them in order to be eligible to win. You'll want to visit all of them, though, because they all have fun projects to share with you! :o)
It's been a while! I'm super excited to be a guest crafter for Your Next Stamp for the month of April! Today we're sharing sneak peeks of the April 2017 release that'll be in their store tonight at 10pm EDT. Here's what I made to share with you today using the super-cute new Aquarium Antics stamp set and Cool Tag Four die set...
These were really fun to make! :o) I coloured the images with coloured pencils and die-cut them with the coordinating Aquarium Antics die set. The cute little algae were die-cut using a die from the new Fish Bowl Shaker die set. I die-cut the sand for each tag using one of the dies from the Double Stitched Hills die set. I used coloured pencils to add a bit of shading to the algae and sand. :o)
Here's a look at the Aquarium Antics stamp set and the Cool Tag Four die set:
Cute, eh! I'll be back later tonight at 10pm EDT with another project for the YNS blog hop, and I'll also have a video to share then that shows some of the new release products and also my 'brainstorming session' when I sketched out my project ideas for this month! :D
Hope to see you again then, and thanks for stopping by! :o)
