I'm playing along with this month's Stamp Anniething Challenge with my card today.

The theme is **STARS**.

  

I colored up Tony - Gnarly with Copics, and did a little paper-piecing on his cap. The star print paper is from Doodlebug's Goal 6x6 paper pad.

  

  

Behind Tony, I sponged some Twisted Citron Distress Ink, and added a few die cut stars. The sentiment is from YNS One in a Chameleon.

My card today was inspired by the current sketch at My Favorite Things.

(I can't even remember the last time I played along in a sketch challenge!)

  

       

This cute monkey is from a Paperie Ink set called Monkey Do. I colored him with Copics, and popped him up on a large circle sponged with Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress Inks. I added a little twine across the top for him to hang from, and a sentiment from MFT's (retired?) Happy Pandas set. The green leaf print paper is from a very old Colorbok collection called Wild Life (I think), it's been in my stash FOREVER, and this is the first time I've cut into it!

It's time for a new challenge at Your Next Stamp!

The theme this time is

BLOCKS!

  

I thought this was the perfect chance to use some of the baby block print paper from the Sweet Baby 6x6 Paper Pad.

There are blue sheets and pink sheets, so of course I had to use one of each!

   

  

I colored up a couple of elephants from the Stacked with Fun stamp set... I love using these animals for baby cards!

Keeping with the "block" theme, I made square cards, and cut the various layers with my Stitched Square Dies, and Stitched Square Frame Dies.  

   

  

Just for a little variation, I added a tiny pink bow to the elephant on the girl card. The sentiments on both cards are from the All Aboard Bouncing Baby stamp set.

   

      

  

Elephants - T4, T3, T2, T1, T0

Ears - R30, R000, R0000

I have a very simple card to share, and I think it can be used for just about any occasion... I think I'll whip up a few more of these to have in my stash!

        

      

These cute flowers are one of the "extras" you get with the You're a Hoot Digital Stamp at Tiddly Inks. Some of the digital sets come with additional images, so you really get a bang for your buck!

      

       

     I printed the flower image large enough to fill most of the card front, and colored it with Copics. The white layer is cut with Stitched Rectangle Dies, and matted with bright green cardstock to tie in the color from the flowers. That panel is popped up, and finished off with a little bit of my favorite twine - May Arts Natural Burlap String.

I have a little encouragement card to share today using Two Thumbs Up Wryn from Tiddly Inks.

   

          

I colored her with Copics, and paired her with Simple Stories Daily Grind Papers.

         

   

The Polaroid Die and Heart are from retired C.C. Designs sets. All edges are inked with Antique Linen Distress Ink. The sentiment is from YNS Photo Booth - All Smiles.
