Today, I am featuring the new Mini Slim Stitched Panel Dies, and the Home Stretch Stamps and Dies.

I love, love, LOVE the "stretched" images and how perfectly they fit with the Mini Slim Dies!

I love this encouraging sentiment!

It's time for a New Release at Your Next Stamp!

We will be celebrating with a hop on Instagram this Thursday, May 20th!

In the meantime, we have loads of sneak peeks and giveaways!!

   

I'm starting out my sneak peeks with this fun set called Glow With The Flow...

   

    

My daughter LOVES lava lamps!! She picked out a small one for her birthday a few years ago, and we upgraded to a bigger one this past Christmas.

I was originally going to try to mimic the look of hers... it's tri-colored and super glittery, but my coloring is just not that good! So, I went with a row of rainbow lava lamps instead!

The six lamps fit perfectly stretched across the second largest of the Mini Slim Line Stitched Rectangle Dies. I just popped them up, and added a fun sentiment. Easy peasy!

I'm so honored that my sweet friend, Danni, invited me to be Guest Designer for her Facebook Challenge Group!!

    

     

Dogs, Rainbows, or Umbrellas are the themes to choose from.

Of course, I had to go with umbrella!!

  

I've had my eye on this Umbrella Girl Digi from Lee Holland for oh-so-long!

Isn't she so sweet?!

   

    

I've colored her with Copics to match some paper from the Lily Bee Buttercup 6x6 Pad. I love blue and yellow together!

    

  

The main layers are cut with Stitched Square Dies, and I've sponged the top square with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. The sentiment is from the Your Next Stamp Little Notes Stamps Set.

When I saw the current Cupcake Inspiration Challenge...

   

    

...it was just the inspiration I needed to color up this cute Tiddly Inks Bee that I've had printed for weeks!

   

   

I've colored her with Copics, matched with a scrap of Doodlebug honeycomb print paper, and finished it off with a retired sentiment from There She Goes.

I'm linking up my third and final card for the Coffee Lover's Blog Hop today.

    

I used another oldie stamp... Perk Up Peeps from Stamping Bella.

Embarrassing confession time... I got this stamp when my twins were in kindergarten to make cute cards for their teachers. Well, I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've inked it up, and the twins start highschool next year!!!

    

   

I colored the image with Copics, and added a little bit of paper piecing to the mug.

I think these little stick figures are the cutest!!
