Your Next Stamp Digital Stamp Launch Blog Hop!

Hello and welcome to the Your Next Stamp Digital Stamp Launch Blog Hop!  YNS has teamed up with Penny Johnson of Omnia Designs to bring an adorable and exclusive line of digital stamps for everyone to enjoy! 

Digital stamps are fabulous because you get instant gratification.  Once you place an order, you will have the ability to download the image from the YNS website, then you simply print it out and you’re good to go!  

All YNS digital stamps are .png files so you can easily resize them, print them out onto designer paper for paper piecing and so much more!

If you’ve been hopping along, you should have arrived from Bonnie’s blog.  To start the hop, head over to the Your Next Stamp blog.

We are releasing 11 adorable new images today!  If you hop along and leave comments on all of the DT blogs, you will have a chance to win one of the new images!  Every DT blog will have a winner!  You have until Thursday, October 3rd at 12 midnight (EST) to leave your comments.  The winners will be posted on the YNS Blog on Friday, October 4th.

Here is an adorable little treat bag I made using the sweet little digital stamp titled "Batty".

I printed my digi. out on 110lb plain white cardstock and then hit it with my heat gun to make sure it was completely dry, before I colored it using my Spectrum Noirs. Once I got it all colored, I then added some aged black embossing enamel, by Stampendous around my edges. I framed my image with a little piece of black coredinations, Black Cat cardstock & my little piece of pattern paper is by DCWV, The Bewitched stack. I added, what I think was the perfect sentiment for this image "Batty for you" by My Pink stamper and finished it off by adding some "Tuxedo Black" bakers twine by Timeless Twine.

Now it’s time to hop on over to Deborah's blog, but don’t forget to leave a comment before you go!  Happy hopping and shopping!

PND Challenge Time~ "Back In Time" - Create a vintage project

Happy Monday everyone, what happened to the weekend, hope you all had a good one!? Because it's Monday that means it's another start to a new challenge over at The Paper Nest Doll Challenge Blog. This weeks challenge is "Back In Time" ~ create a vintage inspired creation. Here is my project....

For me this image "WashBoard Ellie", is vintage all on its own, I love how she is using her little washboard and metal bucket to do her laundry. I used my Spectrum Noirs to color in this sweet digi.  I then added some vintage inspired digital paper and some tea-dye distress ink by Tim Holtz around the edges of my image, to make it stand out a little more. I also framed my image using some Prima roses and orange swirly rhinestones. The silver elements are actually re-purposed from my bridal bouquet and the yellow lace ribbon was from my ribbon stash.

 

Christine will choose one lucky person by random who shares their vintage creations with us to win this fabulous Prize!

 

 

I think this is such a fun and out of the box challenge, I cant wait to see what everyone creates! I hope you all have awesome day and thanks for stopping by!! Also be sure to check out my post from earlier, to see a sneak peek at my YNS DT project for the new Digital stamp release and get the details for the bloghop on Oct. 1st.

Hugs

PPPR Design Team Day: Enjoy The Ride

Happy Wednesday to all my crafty friends! It's that time of the month again where I get to share a creation I made using my PPPR files. I love how bright and colorful this card is and how easy and quick it was to put together. Well here it is......

I only used the Patriotic Balloon, cutting file on my card and did you know it's available in the $0.99 section of the store!?

All my papers and brads and rhinestones are from Echo Park (a perfect summer). My Enjoy the Ride sentiment is from CTMH CC1020 It's Your Day, Constant Campaign Stamp set. The little sentiment on the scalloped tag is from My Craft Spot, Tiny Tags 3 stamp set and Tiny Tags metal dies. I also used some yummy Lemonade Yellow Timeless Twine. I think that about sums it up. Before I head out, I just want to remind you all about the current challenge going on over at PPPR.

Just submit a project using your PPPR files and follow this months theme which is "Birthday"!

Thank you all for stopping by and have an awesome day!

PPPR Design Team Day: Spooky Fun!

Happy Wednesday everyone!! I am so ready for it to be 5:00pm that means end of work day and tomorrow off :) I don't want today to go by to fast though because it's time for another PPPR design team day. I have some fun little card/treat bags to share with you that I am making for my four little cousins using a newly release file by PPPR.

 

I think they are too cute, I grew up watching these "Movie Monsters" and they are just iconic characters in the horror movie category. These little spooky cuties are from the newly released file called Movie Monsters 1 and I used the cutting files. I used the print and cut feature on my Silhouette and just print & cut out my little guys and then un-grouped and selected certain elements that I knew I wanted to pop up, to give more dimension. I used some fun little Kraft paper bags from Bella Creationz and stamped them up using some Halloween stamps I had lying around(Studio G, My Pink Stamper & My Craft Spot). There is also a little surprise element on my creations, however you will have to pop by my blog on Saturday to find out what it is.

 

***DESIGN TEAM CALL***

Do you all just love PPPR as much as I do, well your in luck, there is a Design Team Call

going on until Sept. 22nd. Make sure you head on over to check out the details. This is such an amazing team to be on, it truly is like a 2nd family, you wont regret throwing your name in the hat!!

Happy Wednesday to all my crafty friends! It's my day to post over at the Timeless Twine Blog, one of my favorite times of the month!! I am going to share a sweet little fall card I made, considering it's right around the corner, YIPPEE!!

Colors of twine used on my card are: Lemonade Yellow & Natural

 

I just sporadically laid out my Natural twine and adhered a couple spots down with glossy accents, I wanted it to be flowing like it was a windy fall day. My little bow under my button I used both colors of twine. My sweet little image is from The Paper Shelter, they have some of the sweetest images, I colored her using my Spectrum Noirs.

 I hope you all enjoyed my fun little fall card and I hope it puts you in the mood for a new season, I know it does me!! Hope you all have a fantastic day and I will see you all again soon.
