Your Next Stamp Spread Your Wings

Hi crafty friends! I hope your weekend is off to a great start in your part of the world. Here is Florida, it’s hot and rainy at the moment. I’m hopeful that the weekend weather will get better and I can get into the pool over this long weekend.

I have a fun birthday card to share with you featuring Your Next Stamps’ Spread Your Wings. I stamped and colored the butterfly images with my Copic Markers in the following combinations.

Copic Marker Combination

Teal Butterfly: BG49, BG45, BG32
Pink Butterfly: RV69, RV55, RV63, RV000
Yellow Butterfly: Y17, Y15, Y11
Butterfly Body: W7, W5, W3, W1

Your Next Stamp Spread Your Wings

Years ago, I learned a shortcut to create quick and easy backgrounds and I still use this technique in my cardmaking today. I simply use a colored panel of cardstock and ink blend to add depth and interest in my backgrounds.

For this card, I die cut a piece of pink cardstock and ink blended a cloud stencil using Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink. Next, I added splatters with diluted white acrylic paint and left the panel to dry.

Once the panel was dry, I used a stitched rectangle die to trim the panel, stamped the sentiment, and added my butterflies with foam adhesive. And that’s it.

Making beautiful handmade cards does not have to be time-consuming, it can be stunning and quick at the same time.

Your Next Stamp Wishing Well Fairy | Shaker Summer Fun Card | Copic Coloring

Posted on June 23, 2020June 23, 2020 by pixiedonna

Good morning crafty friends, I have a whimsy and fun shaker card to share with you featuring Your Next Stamps’ Wishing Well Fairy
stamp and the Puffy Cloud Panel Die.

Your Next Stamp Wishing Well Fairy

To begin my card, I ink blended a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock with Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink at the top of the panel
and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink at the bottom of the panel. I also ink blended a small piece with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide
ink and used a hillside die to cut it out. I splattered the panels with water and then blotted it dry with a paper towel. Next, I added
even more texture to my panels by spattering watered down white acrylic paint and black acrylic paint.

While the background panels were drying, I stamped the images out onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 80lb cardstock
with Memento Tuxedo ink, colored them in with Copic Markers and used my ScanNCut to cut the images out.

Bucket: E29, E25, E23
Tree: YG67, YG09, YG17, YG03, YG00

After coloring and die cutting the images, it was time to arrange my little scene. I die cut the large panel with Puffy Cloud Panel die to
make a shaker window. Once I added my shaker embellishments to the white card panel, I closed off the shaker with doubled foam
strips for a little height.

To complete this card, I added all of the images and the sentiment which I stamped onto a piece of black cardstock and white heat embossed.

Your Next Stamp Monkey Fun

Posted on February 19, 2020March 1, 2020 by pixiedonna

Hello everyone, now that Valentine’s Day is over, I wanted to rebuild my stash of birthday cards starting with this
adorable monkey from Your Next Stamp.

stamped-image-monkey

To begin my card, I stamped the image of the monkey onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 80lb cardstock with Memento
Tuxedo Dye ink and colored the image with Copic markers. Once I finished coloring, I used the ScanNCut to cut the image out.

Copic Markers Combination

Monkey: E49, E27, E25, E23, E31, E30
Monkey Face: E11, E21, E000, E0000
Branch: E29, E27, E23, E31
Leaves: YG17, YG13, YG01

stamped-image-monkey

For the background, I created my own stamped pattern with one of the leaf images in the stamp set. Using Versamark ink,
I stamped the image onto a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock and heat set the white embossing powder. I created a
bold background by ink blending Distress ink in Mowed Lawn in the center of an A2 sized panel then added
Twisted Citron at the outer edges covering the entire panel. Of course, I had to add the water splatters and the
white paint for some added interest.

stamped-image-monkey

With the second to largest ripped rectangles die, I die cut the center out of the top panel then added foam tape to the frame
before adhering it to a top folding card base. The only thing left to do to complete this card was to create a sentiment,
which I stamped onto a piece of black cardstock and heat set it with white embossing powder. I added the focal
image and a few black enamel dots to finish the card off.

This card was partly inspired by the current Your Next Stamp Challenge # 132: Create Your Own Background. I hope you enjoyed this card and found it inspiring.

Posted on February 13, 2018 by pixiedonna

Hello everyone,

Today I’m sharing a card I made that was inspired by YNS’ Sketch and Color Challenge # 82 using the Love and Smiles stamp set perfect for Valentine’s Day.

Your Next Stamp Love and Smiles stamp set colored with Copic Markers and pattered paper backgrounds Valentine’s Day handmade card.

I started by stamping my main image with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 80lb cardstock and Copic colored the image.

Color combination I used:
Bunny: RV66, RV63 and V01
Balloons: R39, R29 and R27

Your Next Stamp Love and Smiles stamp set colored with Copic Markers and pattered paper backgrounds Valentine’s Day handmade card.

My card is based on the sketch design with the layers slightly altered. I used a piece of purple pattern paper from the DCWV Bright Patterns cardstock paper pad and cut it using the largest ripped rectangle die set. I adhered that piece on top of pink glitzy strip of cardstock from the DCWV Glitzy cardstock paper pad and added the main focal point of the bunny using some foam tape, the sentiment and a few glittery enamel dots to complete this card.

This was such an easy and fun card to create perfect for that last Valentine gift!

Hey everyone,

Today I’m using this adorable stamp set from Your Next Stamp called Insanely Happy to create a sweet birthday card. This card was inspired by the Your Next Stamp Sketch and Color Challenge # 81.

Your Next Stamp Insanely Happy colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and patterned paper handmade birthday card.

For this card, I began by stamping the image onto a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock with VersaFine Onyx black ink. Using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers, I colored the image with the following combination:

Skin: 036 Light Blue and added water to blend out
Nose: 092 Blue Gray
Dress: 041 Light Green and 202 Peach Pink

Your Next Stamp Insanely Happy colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and patterned paper handmade birthday card.

For this card, my inspiration came from the sketch and I used patterned paper from the Echo Park Birthday wishes collection. To finish the card, I used the sentiment from the stamp set wishing the recipient an insanely Happy Birthday!

And that completes this adorable birthday card. As always thanks for stopping by, until next time….sprinkle a little creativity on your day!

Your Next Stamp Holiday Buddies ~ Copic Colored ~ Christmas Card

Posted on December 5, 2017April 9, 2020 by pixiedonna

Hey everyone,

I still have so many Christmas cards to make and so little time left before I have to send them out. This week I made another Christmas card using very traditional Christmas colors to play along with YNS Sketch and Color challenge # 78.

Your Next Stamp Holiday Buddies colored with Copic Markers and Christmas patterned paper background handmade Christmas card.

I chose to create a card based on the sketch this week and use some very Christmas-y patterned papers for the card base, which I layered according to the sketch. For the focal layer, I used a stitched oval die to cut a piece of white cardstock and add my components on top.

The image of the dog is from Your Next Stamps’ Holiday buddies, at least I think it’s a dog but it could be a sheep, although he is one funky colored sheep if he is a sheep. The layer of trees is cut using Your Next Stamps’ Evergreen tree border die and sparkle green cardstock.

I colored the “dog” using Copic Markers with the following color combinations:

Bird: W5, W7, YR12 and YR15
Bird’s hat: YG03, YG05, R29 and R39
Dog: E11, E13 and E25
belly: 0, C1
Dog’s hat: R29, R39, 0 and C1

Your Next Stamp Holiday Buddies colored with Copic Markers and Christmas patterned paper background handmade Christmas card.

I adhered all of the components to an A2 sized card base and added my sentiment from the stamp set using a tinsel embossing powder in red. And that will complete another Christmas card!!! YAY!!!

With this card, I am also participating in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, Anything goes!

And the Your Next Stamp Sketch and Color Challenge # 78
