Your Next Stamp December Release Blog Hop

Every time I post a new release, it just proves to me how quickly time is flying by! It's nearly the end of 2015 and Christmas is ready to come screeching around the corner soon enough.  But, before you worry about either of those, it's time to share with you some of the newest release sets from Your Next Stamp.  The DT is ready for you to get your pen and paper out to make your list of items to spoil YOURSELF with this season.  Enabler? Meeee?? Nah.... Just a friend helping another friend out! ;)

For my first card, I am using the new set of Coffee...Right Meow! hee hee... I just love it too! It has all the favorite coffee sayings for all you coffee lovers out there.  And for you cat lovers who love coffee? Even more perfect.

The image was colored in with Copics and cut out to be popped up over the also new release of YNS Stitched Oval layered dies. The YNS Stitched Rectangle dies were used to cut the back layers.  Another fun set being released are the Coffee Rings.  In this set, there are drops which is what I used to be place on the bottom of the oval under the mug.  I used some patterned paper I have had in my stash for years I believe, and completed the look with some ribbon and a button.  Here is the inside of the card to complete the sentiment on the front:

This is certainly how I feel when I did not stay on top of my coffee buying in the house! :)

For my second card, I am using Blast Off.  Such a great set for your space or astronaut lover.  In conjunction of this set I used another new release of the large Star Splatter background.  This was used as my background which I stamped with Versamark and heat embossed it with some Iridescence embossing powder.

The super cute image was colored with Copics and fussy cut out and popped up.  The "moon" was made using white card stock and embossed with an embossing folder and a circle punch to make the shape.  I completed the card by stamping the stars in the set, cutting them out, and turning it over to show just the white so that I can run it over with my Wink of Stella.  It is hard to tell in the picture unfortunately. For the sentiment, I stamped the bottom portion with Sprout Memento ink and then Cottage Ivy on the top for a sort of ombre look.

This release has so much fun creative uses that Karen even has an awesome special to make spoiling yourself easier.  Your order will be 20% OFF with the coupon code below. How sweet is THAT?!

Don't forget to keep hopping and leaving a little love as you go on the DT blogs.  You could be the winner of a $20 YNS gift certificate to the store.  The winner will be posted on 14 December. Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy shopping!
