YNS New Release Blog Hop!

Hi all!  It’s that time of month again – Your Next Stamp just released a whole TON of fabulous stamps and dies!!   I’m the first stop on the hop so welcome!!  I’m so glad you stopped by and hope that you’ll be able to hop along to all the stops!

I’m am super excited about this release because I’ve designed some of the new dies, specifically the Scrapworks - Large Sunburst Die Set, the Bow-tiful Little Bows Die Set, and the Scallop Topped Treat Bag die.  Yay!  I’m also loving the new Stitched Ovals Die Set and ALL of the adorable stamps!!  Anyway, that’s enough talk, let’s get to my projects.

First up, I made a plain little bag using the Scallop Topped Treat Bag die to showcase an adorable felt bow made with the Bow-tiful Little Bows Die Set:

Here’s a video I made showing the bows off and how to make them:

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

Just FYI, the Scallop Topped Treat Bag die will NOT fit on a piece of 6x6 paper, so if you want to use patterned paper, it must be bigger than 6x6.  You can punch holes and tie the bag shut or just leave it as is and glue the flap shut.  I wanted to leave out the holes so you could decided how you want to close it!

Next I have a card using the Scrapworks - Large Sunburst Die Set and the Snow Much Joy stamp set and matching dies:

Here’s the intro video for the Large Sunburst Die Set (how to assemble it and some examples of different cards you can make):

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

That’s it for me for now, but I want to tell you that there’s a hop prize – a $25 YNS Gift Certificate that will go to one random commenter picked from all the hop stops. 

And of course Karen also has a fantastic sale for you:
