YNS Fun Friday - creating a colorful border

Good morning everyone. Today is the second Your Next Stamp card post to share with you this month. Check out the YNS Fun Friday post here to see more fun creations there. Since the weather is getting better and better everyday, I feel like making a colorful project. Not long ago, I bought a Small Post Card Stamp set. The even better thing is YNS also have the matching Small Post Card Die Set for this stamp set. Of course if you get this Combo Set together, it will be cheaper too!!

Here is my finished card. I picked one of the bright and colorful DP. How about a fun border for this card? To create a colorful border, what I did was, to use a border punch to punch out matching color cardstocks in different width, then line them up and put them on the side edge to create a multi-coloring border.


Closer view of these stamps. I colored the stamps, then punched them out with the matching dies, then I also punched one more time on another piece. Put them together in between a foam dot/tape to make them pop up a little to create a dimension effect.

Thank you for visiting my project today and hope to share with you another YNS project again soon :o)

Tilda and Edwin Engagement Congratulations Card

Good morning everyone. Today's post is a card I made specially for one of my co-workers who recently engaged. Congratulations to Chantelle & Asher!!! Therefore, this card is to congratulate her from our office. Because this is not a wedding card, so instead of picking a wedding image, I picked this Loving Bridal Couple and rather than using wedding colors, I picked sort of causal colors. You can purchase this stamp from Magnolia-licious Store.

Here is the finished card

I am also using this card for the following challenges:
Midweek Magnolias Week #9 - May Flowers
CropStop Challenge #70 - Emboss It
Little Miss Muffet Challenge #34 - May Flowers
Paper Play Challenge 12 Week 8 - Use your stamps with pin and pearls

Paper Sundaes Challenge #118 - Ribbon and Pearls

Closer view on this colored Loving Bridal Couple image

Closer view to show you the flower and pins embellishments plus a 'love' charm. I actually dyed this binding ribbon a very very light touch of pink so it doesn't look as pure white.

Because this card is going to sign by quite a few people, so I added an insert sheet and used some Magnolia flower stamps to stamp on the cover page of this signing insert sheet.

Closer view of this page when it inserted inside.

Flat view to show you the dimension of this card. As you can see this card is quite thick, so I custom made a simple envelope box to put this card inside.

Here is a quick and simple envelope box for this thick card.

Thank you so much for your visit today and hope to share with you another project soon :o)

Ok, here are the projects I have to share with you on this blog hop! I've prepared a card and altered a mini box with these cute YNS stamps. The stamp I used for the card is Miyuki From Japan. On this card, I colored her using Copics and shaded it after with Prismacolor Pencils. The other project is an altered mini box.
