Hello and welcome to the Your Next Stamp January Release Blog Hop!

        

    

It's our first new release of the new year, and it's crammed full of CUTENESS!

I have a few projects to share, so I'm just gonna get right to it!

     

First up, a new Omnia Designs sweetie... Tobi's Bear Hugs. You know how much I love coloring these darling images, and this one is no exception! I paired these two with some soft papers from the Heidi Swapp Serendipity 6x6 collection, and inked all of the edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink. The heart details were made using the heart border from Awesome Border Dies Set One.

I think this next set is going to be extremely popular! It's called Perfect Chemistry, and it is SO MUCH FUN!! It was a definite favorite amongst the design team this month.

I colored up the little light bulb from the set, and paired him with some brighter papers in the Heidi Swapp Serendipity set. The yellow paper has this cool sunburst print on it, and to make it stand out a bit more, I used the Tiny Stitches Stitched Line Die to highlight the edges. I popped the bulb up in front, and finished the card off with a few Black Gumdrops.

(Pssst... if you are not a fussy-cutting freak like me, this stamp set also has a coordinating set of dies!)

Last, but not least, I'm sharing Love & Smiles. The three critters in this set are ADORABLE, and I can't wait to color up the sweet little panda next! :)

For this card, I used the bunny image, and did some very simple coloring. Once again, there is a set of matching dies if you are not a fan of fussy cutting!

The layout is also very simple, and I just added some stitching details with the Tiny Stitches Line Die. (I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how easy and versatile this die is!!)

Lastly, the sentiment was stamped onto the Fishtail/Banner Die, and the bunny is popped up above.
