YNS Challenge #153: Just for You

YNS Challenge #153: Just for You

I certainly make lots of Christmas tags, but there are a few people on my list that I find I put that little something extra into their tags. These tags are made with a couple of close friends in mind. Very often as crafters we make cards with someone specific in mind. So this weeks challenge ‘Just for You’ is perfect for creating something special for someone special. Looking forward to see what you create.

Your Next Stamp Christmas Series: Holiday Sparkle

Your Next Stamp Christmas Series: Holiday Sparkle

Today is the last day to save on 5 adorable wintery stamp sets that Your Next Stamp has on sale. The final stamp set being showcased is the adorable Holiday Sparkle set. If you haven't had a chance to check out all the inspiration you should head to YNS blog to see what the rest of the design team has created.

Seems that every Holiday season I like to take one of my stamp sets and change it up so that it becomes an ornament hanging on a Christmas tree. It is certainly a great way to extend your stamps beyond there intended use. This year I decided on a cute little bunny to hang out on an ornament.

Over the next 5 days Your Next Stamp design team is highlighting 5 adorable wintery stamp sets. Better still YNS is offering 50% off those stamp sets at the online store. Today we are showcasing the Paw-liday Pups.

Since I won’t be able to get to see everyone this Christmas in person to give them their present, making money folder cards seem like a great idea. And slim line cards are the perfect shape and size for slipping in some money.

Today I get to highlight the recently released ‘Christmas Banner’ stamp set. This banner seemed absolutely perfect for a slim line card.

YNS Challenge #151: Candy

YNS Challenge #151: Candy

I know Halloween is just around the corner, but I jumped right into Christmas for this weeks challenge at Your Next Stamp. The theme of Candy is so appropriate for Halloween, but then really when isn’t Candy a good time for a theme. As I said before I am not a not a huge Halloween card maker, so my mind went straight to the next sugar filled holiday - Christmas. Of course to me Candy Canes screams Christmas. What does Candy mean to you? Are you all about the Halloween candy or does another candy filled holiday appeal to you. Looking forward to see what you create.
