Your Next Stamp - February DT Dare - Fire Up the Fun

Hello Stampin' Friends! I am back joining the Your Next Stamp Design Team for the 

DT Dare, which means we are sharing more projects made with the stamps, dies and paper from the February release, plus we are giving away a stamp set! 

 So what do we have lined up for you today?  

Get ready to...Layer It Up! 

Now, head on over to the YNS blog for all the DT Dare details and leave a comment on the DT Dare post on the YNS blog for a chance to win a stamp set of your choice. A comment must be left by February 16th at midnight EST.  The lucky winner will be announced February 18th.

When I saw that the DT Dare was "Layer It Up" I was psyched! I LOVE lots of layers and I thought I could not only "Layer it up" but I could create a little scene too with the super cute new Fire Up the Fun Stamp set and Fire Up the Fun Dies. I mixed and matched various patterned papers from my stash and used the YNS Spring/Summer Scene Die to create the roads added some grass with the YNS Spring Grass Die and used the YNS Tree Trio Die Set.  

I stamped a the sentiment from the Fire Up the Fun Stamp set with Colorbox Frost White Pigment Ink on a strip of Black Licorice Heavyweight Cardstock and heat embossed it with WOW! Bright White Embossing powder. I embellished with a sprinkling of YNS Grey Gumdrops.  I finished off the inside of my card too....I stamped a shadow image with Your Next Stamp Holly Berry Premium Dye Ink and added another white heat embossed sentiment form the Fire Up The Fun Stamp set. 
Thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a little look at my Fire Up the Fun card for the February DT Dare...Layer It up! Please head on over to the Your Next Stamp blog and leave a comment for a chance to win a YNS of your choice.

So for my February Blog Hop card I used the NEW EGG-Citing Stamp set and coordinating EGG-Citing Die set. I am SO ready for Spring, so it was a welcome break from the snow and cold to play with this SWEET set! I just have to say how much I LOVE the EGG-Citing Stamp set and the fun sentiments too.  

For my card I started by doing a little inking on a panel of Tim Holtz Distress Woodgrain Cardstock with Carved Pumpkin Distress Ink. The stitched horizontal panel is inked too but with Distress Oxide Inks Worn Lipstick and Fossilized Amber. I cut the YNS Open Scalloped Circle Die Set from paper that I inked with Distress Oxide Inks in Twisted Citron. 

I stamped the egg carton from paper that was inked with the Distress Oxide Inks with Your Next Stamp Premium Dye Ink in Black Olive. I then cut the various little chicks and eggs, coloured them with my Copic markers, added a little touch of sparkle with my Zig Wink of Stella Clear pen and then adhered them to the egg carton.  I popped the egg carton up on the Open Scalloped Circle panel and embellished with green hemp cord and Pink Sparkly Gumdrops. I separated the sentiment and stamped the "YOU ARE EGG-Stra" (love this... reminds me of my daughter, Hannah, saying "Mom, you are SO extra"...which is true, lol) for the front of the card....

...and I continued the sentiment to the inside of the card and added another egg carton with some more cute hatching chicks...the little guy that is upside down is just SO EGG-stra ;) 

Thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a little look at my card with the EGG-Citing Stamp set and coordinating EGG-Citing Dies. Time to do a little shopping and then a little hopping for the February Release Blog Hop!

I have been having a lot of fun with my Distress Oxide inks and used them to make a blended background for this card with a pretty spring colour pallet. I sprinkled on some water to the inked background to get those fun water splotches. I just adore the NEW Your Next Stamp Music Chicks Stamp set. I coloured the various chicks up with my Copics, cut them out with the coordinating Music Chicks Dies and popped them up on the Window panel. I stamped this fun sentiment from the Music Chicks Stamp set with Your Next Stamp Premium Dye Ink in Black Olive.  I really LOVE the NEW Window Panel Die...definitely a must-have...SO many possibilities and the stitched detail adds such a great finishing touch to the card. The grass is cut with the retired YNS Spring Grass die but you can get the same look with the Stitched Grass Die. If you've visited my blog before you know I have a serious addiction to YNS Gumdrops...I added a sprinkling of Magical Pastel Sparkly Gumdrops on this card. I finished the inside of the card too....I used the Cool Tag set of Four Die Set and stamped another sentiment from NEW Music Chicks Stamp set and added another cute little Chick.  Thanks SO much for stopping by and havin' a little look at my Your Next Stamp Music Chicks card for the February Release! See you again tonight for the YNS February Release Blog Hop!
