YNS - December BLOG HOP

Howdy -

Today is the YNS (Your Next Stamp) December Blog Hop and I was asked to play this month with the DT. There are lots of great new images in this release. And when I saw this set I saw a little gift!

This set is called Java Geek (CYNS308) - Too much fun there are SO many stamps included in this set!

I created a little K-Cup Gift. Perfect timing for the holidays to make up some of these for office friends. I stamped out three of the images. (there are over 12 images included!) I stamped up three of them and then inked the edges and colored up with a couple of copics. I found a piece of Farm House paper in my scraps that just felt right for a coffee project. I chose dark brown card stock and kraft card stock and sewed down all the layers.

The GIFT is that it hold three K-cups! I remember seeing one of these a long while ago and just went on my own and created holder. A 12 x 6 /34 inch card stock. Scored at 4 1/2 and 6 1/2. Then the holder is a piece cut 6 3/4 x 5 1/4 inches I scored it to attach to the back of the folded piece and the bottom... after I used my nesties to cut out three holes just large enough to hold the k-cups.

 It came together pretty well. Even with my lack of directions and "winging" it. Now you really need to see all the cute stamps that come with this set and all the other fun items in this new release. So click HERE to see everything!

 

Now you need to see the the rest of the hop. And just FYI... there is a $25.00 YNS Gift Certificate up for grabs for the comments! And the folks at YNS is also offering up a 20% discount!!

Love this pair! And the "North Pole" is just too fun... I colored with my Copics (colors below) I went with papers from Authentique Believe Bundle - love the country feel of these Christmas papers. Matted with some bright red card stock and the same for the card base. Sewing down all my layers with a zig zag and/or straight stitch. I added Rangers Diamond stickles for all the snow. Snow at the North Pole has to sparkle right??

High Hopes Stamps - Challenge Blog Hop

Howdy -

High Hopes Stamps is still celebrating the "Joys of the Seasons", the newest release of Christmas/Halloween/Fall rubber stamps from High Hopes Rubber Stamps.
While we are continuing this celebration of this newest release of Christmas/Halloween/Fall rubber stamps the gals from both the High Hopes and OCS Design Teams are hosting another Blog Hop from the 1st to the 5th of this month and and winner/winners will be chosen on the 7th.  Make sure you visit each gal to see what new release they have on their blog and then go back to the challenge posts and leave a commet on the OCS or High Hopes blogs.  Make sure you check the posts for both OCS and High Hopes blogs on the 7th to see if you are the winner.

So if you are on the Hop you got here from Shari G.

For my card I went with Snowman Stumble! For those that know me... This little snowman and I have lots in common.

I really love this guy! I colored with my Copics to match the pattern paper My Mind's Eye. I went for a paper pieced hat on him, but I ma not sure if it worked as his hat is smaller. It has the glitter plaid paper. Then some Ranger Stickles Diamond for the brim and pom pom. I sewed all the layers down with zig zag and straight stitches. I found a piece of felt snowflake border that I have no clue how long I have had. It seemed to work well once I dusted it off.  The sentiment is also from High Hopes Stamps "Freezin' Season"

Here is my project - 

With one of Crissy's Digis  new images - Scarecrow and Friend

 

Love this happy guy! I colored with my copics and then went back and did more shading with pencils - Just felt like it needed more richness to it. Papers from Graphic 45 are perfect with the fall theme. I sewed and attached everything down, then I saw a Whimsy Digital sentiment that seemed PERFECT for him!  This is from the "City Talk" collection - This one isn't "city" but it works doesn't it? LOL  Then some Viva Decor Paper Pen for those fake brad looks.

Inside is scraps from the paper on the front.

Copic colors used -

This is Geneva - I colored with my Copics (colors below) I made sure to add some stickles - I figured all mermaids sparkle right?

  The Corner is also from Whimsy - Lace Doily Corner Die 2 - reminds me of starfish sort of so I think it works well with the image. I couldn't waste the pieces that fell out... so I stuck those down as well. Then I added more stickles!!

Now here is my card for today's release -

I just fell in love with the new "FISHING PEGUIN" -

Colored with my Copics (colors below) and then found some older My Minds Eye papers - I added some of the Whimsy Decorative Tapes you can find them HERE first I used some fun Wafer Tap that looks like newspaper, then I pulled out some of the adhesive Lace ... was too light so I colored with a Copic. Then I dotted some little dark pearl with a Viva Deco Pen in brown. Love that stuff!

The sentiment is also Digital Whimsy - from the Get Well Soon Sentiment Collection.

Inside more scraps -

And my Copic Colors used -
