August YNS New Release Blog Hop

Aug92015-hopgraphic

Hi all!  Welcome to my stop on the August YNS New Release Hop!  If you’ve been hopping along, you should have come from Tracy’s Blog.  If you just happened upon my blog, I’d love for you to go back to the beginning (Jeanie’s Blog) so you don’t miss a stop! {links are at the bottom of the post}

I’m so excited for this release – it’s Your Next Stamp’s 6th Birthday!!!  We’ve got TONS of fabulous new stamps and dies for you, including a die I designed – the 3x3 Envelope Die.  Yay!  It’s super hard to pick a favorite set this month because everything is over the top cute!  With the new envelope die, I can see myself creating lots of mini card sets to give as gifts.

Well, enough chit chat, let’s get to my projects!

For my first project, I made a simple little money envelope with a glittered peek-a-boo window:

PartyAnimals1

I used the 3x3 Envelope Die, the Cupcake Stack dies, and a sentiment from Party Animals.

Here’s a video on how I did it:

And here’s THE LINK in case you can’t see the video player above.

For my second project, I’ve used the Envelope die again, this time with the Big Birthday Balloon Die Set to make a 3x3 mini notecard with matching envelope:

Here’s a video for this project:

And here’s THE LINK.

  47. Hi Maureen ~ Your 3x3 envelope die is super fantastic. I love it and already have the wheels turning in my head for all kinds of ideas. The cupcake dies you used were literally beautiful after you added the fine glitter. The 2nd video with the card and envelope were great, especially because the card and envelope were both decorated. Well done!

  48. The cupcake card is delicious, and the mini cards and envelopes...oh my! Definitely captured my heart with those!
