Three Favorites for Your Next Stamp

Your Next Stamp is having a DT call!  And I'm excited! Some of my friends on Cropchocolate.com first got me interested in YNS.  But, I was hooked when a gal posted an adorable card using this stamp set:

 

And, what's so special about this stamp? Well, YNS designed it just for her.  She asked for a stamp that made a young boy look "spiffy cool", not nerdy.  And they did it.  I thought right then, "I'd love to work for a company like that."  So, here I am, submitting three of my favorite cards, and applying for their new digital design team.  Wish me luck!

 

This first card uses a Penny Black stamp and Echo Park Dots & Stripes papers.  I colored it with Copic Markers.

 

 
This second card, using a Sparkle Creations image and sentiment, is also colored with Copic markers.  It uses Amy Tangerine Sketchbook 6x6 papers, and 3 Girl JAM Cherry Lipstick ribbon.  I sponged Tim Holtz distress ink (Spun Sugar) on the image while it was still in the Spellbinders Gold die.
 

And, I'm showcasing this third card for 2 reasons. First, it uses a digi stamp.  I want to show that yes, I can work with digis.  I use them often in my work.  Second, I really, really like how this card turned out.  It uses Fancy Pants Park Bench 12x12 paper, American Crafts glitter paper (I think -- I've had it forever), a digi from Sassy Studio Designs for the image and Unity Stamps for the sentiment.  Three Girl JAM ribbon and a Pinque Peacock stick pin finish off the card.  The sassy image is colored with Copic markers.

 

I'm keeping my fingers crosses and saying a little prayer that Your Next Stamps likes my work.

Live Life Half Full -- a digi darling!

We're cruising through another week, at Thursday already!  And the weather is warming up here in NW WI!  Spring has sprung.

 

 

This card is on the 3 Girl Jam challenge blog today, and I wanted to share a few more details with you here.

 

 

The Martini Pin Up digi is from Sassy Studio Designs. There are many great digi stamps in the store.

The crinkle ribbon, of course, is 3 Girl Jam. Both the colors in the new Royal bundle were used -- purple passion & gold crown. 

Here's a close up of the ribbon:

 

 

Do you like that pin?   It's from the Pinque Peacock store, and it adds some real class to the card.  The image was colored with Copic markers.  The sentiment is from Unity Stamp Co.

The designer paper is from the Fancy Pants Park Bench 12x12 collection. I've had the glitter paper forever, and think it's from American Crafts. A Spellbinder label die was used, Memento ink, and Neenah Solar White paper for the digi.

 

That's it!  I hope you enjoyed my martini babe as much as I enjoyed creating her.  Va-va-va-Voom!
