Your Next Stamp Blog Hop 9th Birthday Celebration


Welcome! 
It is Your Next Stamp's 9th Birthday and we are celebrating with a Blog Hop featuring the August New Releases.

And, because it is our 9th birthday, we are giving away 9 ~ $20.00 Gift Certificates to the YNS store. The more blogs you visit and comment on, the greater your odds of winning. And we have a game you can play as you view the creations made by the design team. Count the number of gumdrops used on the cards and leave your count on the inlinkz on the YNS blog hop post for a chance to win a gumdrop prize pack. 

I personally have had great fun with this new release. I featured a sneak peak yesterday called "Hey", and you can view it here

For my card today I have used the new Cool Cats Stamp Set and a new die called Party Window Die Set.
 I coloured the cat with alcohol markers in shades of gray and once finished I fussy cut him out. I did an alcohol background for the cat, and cut it out using the new die for the positive and used the same die for the negative on my card panel. I attached the alcohol background using foam tape, then stamped the sentiment using Manganese Blue ink. 
I then styled my cat and attached him with foam dots, then added two googly eyes in different colours and a few sparkly gumdrops to finish.

You can check out all the new products here, and use one of these discounts for your purchase. Have fun!

Thanks so much for dropping by.
