Your Next Stamp Fun Friday CAS Style

Hello and Happy Friday!  Time for another Your Next Stamp Fun Friday and this month's theme is "Anything Goes".  My goal this month is to create with stamps and dies that I haven't had a chance to use yet so today I have a card for you that I created using my brand spanking new Tree Trio die set and Full of Colour stamp set.  How cute are those acorns?

I printed my sentiment onto some kraft cardstock and created a little scene with the tree dies and acorn stamps.  A strip of ribbon, a bit of twine and voila!,  a nice quick and easy, clean and simple card for this busy time of year.

Be sure to stop on by the Your Next Stamp blog for some more wonderful creations from the design team AND if you haven't had a chance yet, scroll down one post to see this month's release blog hop.  You could win some great prizes!

Smiley Happy Critters!!

Good morning!  It’s that time of the month again….time for another Your Next Stamp release!  This month Karen switched it up a bit and did a mini release featuring a super cute new stamp set and a set of fabulous mini dies.  Be sure to pop on over to the YNS blog to see some more creations from the design team.  Also, I hope you’ll come back tomorrow for our release blog hop.

And now onto my project.  For my card today I used the new Smiley Happy Critters stamp set.  I couldn’t decide which image to use so I put ALL of the onto my card.  I kept the design clean and simple on this card and coloured my images in coordinating colours.  I wasn’t quite sure which colour to go with for some of the faces so I used a kraft tone to pull my whole design together and then to accent the image I used my Sakura black glitter gel pen.

Be sure to stop by tomorrow to see the project I created with the new release dies.
