January New Release Blog Hop - Your Next Stamp

Hello and happy Wednesday!

Guess what day it is? Guess. what. day. it. is?! It's new release day!!! (I bet you thought I'd say hump day, didn't you?) :)  Well, it is, but more importantly, it's Your Next Stamp's January release. 

I always love seeing what each month has in store for YNS and this month is fantastic! Many great sets to help with your Valentines projects as well as your everyday thoughts put into a project.  For this card, I used the new release set of Fun Charts to make this fun Valentines day card. 

 

 

For the layout, I used YNS current sketch over on the challenge blog. It made for a perfect set up! I used patterned paper from EP's Head over Heels collection and by using one of the patterns, I paper pieced it to the thermometer.  The sentiments were individually stamped in the chosen colors to avoid a box around it, while the arrow was hand drawn and cut out.  It was then popped up and finished by adding some fun gumdrops from YNS.

I made a second card using Sweet and Cool.  This is a super fun set and one I thought would be good for a CAS layout. 

If you did not see my lollipop Valentine I made with this set, you can see it here.  Another great versatile set.  I used the coordinating die to cut out the popsicle and color it in with Copics.  The patterned paper is from MME and the fun diamond border used is YNS Awesome Borders Two.  I completed the look with some glittered pink gumdrops.
