August Release and Blog Hop - Your Next Stamp



 The release has finally arrived! Didn't the DT have some awesome sneaks? There are many to say would be a favorite, but I am definitely excited for the new Gift Card holder die being released.  Without further ado, let's keep this hop hopping!

My first project is one using that favorite new die. I always have gift cards to give at different times of the year and I am always finding unique ways to present them.  But for those cards you just need a quick holder that you can decorate quickly, this die is perfect!




This die has 6 pieces in it and two of them are panels that can be used for the in or outside of the holder.  I decided to emboss the cutout first and just decorate it with the new Flower Bouquet set and dies. The sentiment was stamped and given a random wave look to it to be popped up over the bouquet.  When the card is opened, this is what you will see:

I used another cut out of the holder to line the inside and added the included sentiment to be popped up on the inside flap using some fun foam.  I added a fun Rainbow gumdrop to the slit.

For my second project, I made a card using the new Happy Bird-day set.  Aren't these birds the cutest?!



I created an abstract background with some patterned paper from the YNS Birthday Girl collection.  I then cut out the top panel from the YNS Stitched Scallop Rectangle dies and cut out a center to that with some white cardstock.  The bird was stamped and masked before the balloon was stamped to be in the background.  Music notes were added along with a popped up sentiment.  Some of the fun newly release Rainbow Gumdrops finished the card.

As always, Karen is offering a generous new release sale in celebration of YNS turning 9 years old!! You don't want to miss this awesome sale, so now you don't have to choose and can get everything on your list!


Thank you for hopping in and don't forget to leave a little love as you hop through for your chance to win!! Have a great weekend!
