April YNS DT Dare---Sending Smiles

Welcome!  I am back joining the DT over at Your Next Stamp for the YNS DT Dare---Sending Smiles!  The challenge is to create a card that would send anyone a smile!

I worked with the Waddles to the Rescue for a fun "kid friendly" card.  But really.....who doesn't like a window card??  I used the new Window Die and framed it with black cardstock and added the sentiment white heat embossed onto a black strip of cardstock for the window "sill".  This window die cuts INTO the paper and you can use it that way or you can trim out.  I opted to use as a window with a scene behind.

My images were Copic colored and fussy cut out for a fun look.  I added some black burlap twine for my window closure but the inside is too cute not to show off!!!

YNS New Release Blog Hop!

Welcome to the new release for Your Next Stamp!  I am thrilled to be joining the YNS DT for this release!  You won't want to miss this great release!

I am always looking for ways to make some quick one layer cards for gift sets.  The Scribble Fun Set One is definitely going to get a work out!  This is FABULOUS set to make some teacher gift sets for the end of the year.  The large image is a full card size so it is perfect!

I did ALL my stamping using the mini Misti.  I literally made this gift set in under 10 minutes.  I've used bright fun ink colors and matching cardstocks to layer my cards.  To gift these, they will be all wrapped up in a clear box with a bow.  

Remember to leave comments along the way for your chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate to the YNS store!  You have until April 5th at midnight EST to comment!
