Hello, fellow card makers. Today I am sharing with you my last project as a guest designer for Your Next Stamp this month. I have to say, it's been a blast-y blast and I'm a little sad to go. I truly appreciate the opportunity and I hope I was able to ignite some inspiration with the wonderful products by Your Next Stamp. Today I am playing along with Your Next Stamps Challenge # 65.

I was inspired to use both the sketch and color palette from this weeks challenge. I created a shaker card using Aquarium Antics.

Hello fellow card makers. Today I am sharing my Feature Day card for Your Next Stamp. Today also happens to be Karen's Sons birthday, Karen is the owner of Your Next Stamp. To Celebrate this, she is offering 22% off! For more information visit the Your Next Stamp Blog. To visit the Your Next Stamp Blog... Click Here! To visit the Your Next Stamp Store... Click Here! To check out their new Releases... Click Here!
The Feature Day objective for us was to be inspired by a famous artist or painting to create a project. I have always been attracted to Graffiti art. In my opinion Graffiti art isn't a crime, the real crime is to not see the beauty and talent behind it. Don't get me wrong, destruction of property is a crime, but artists such as Lee Quinones, when given the proper outlet, can really display true talent and inspiration. So, I used him and the New York City Subway art movement as my inspiration for todays card.
I used the One in a Chameleon Stamp set to create my card. I tried to make it appear as though he was camouflaged into the brick wall. I also used the Mud Splatter stamp set to create my colorful background with a rainbow of ink colors. I made sure to mask his eyes and shadow his body to make sure the life of the image still existed. Photos of my project, a link to the YouTube video creating this card, and a full list of supplies are below.

Hello fellow card makers. Today I am sharing my card for the Your Next Stamp Challenge 64. Your Next Stamp gives you both a sketch and a color palette to choose your inspiration. You can use both the sketch and color combo, or just the sketch, or just the color combo. Use it however you feel inspired. Here are photos of the sketch and the color combo we are playing with this week.
I personally felt more inspired by the bright colors of this challenge. So I used my new favorite stamp set by Your Next Stamp to create my card along with these fabulous colors. I am using the new Got Mud stamp set that you can find by clicking... here! It features a monster truck theme and I just love it. I heat embossed my "Monster Thanks" sentiment on a brick wall background. I colored my image with Copic markers, and added some Doodlebug Sprinkles to add more of the color from the challenge.

My project for the hop features the brand new Got Mud stamp set. Its almost like YNS made this set just for me. You guys don't know this, buy I like big trucks. I have been driving Jeep, Wranglers since I started driving. I have had 5 of them during this time, number 4 and number 5 are in my garage right now. They both have big tires, maybe not as big as these monster trucks, but larger than average. So, when I saw this set, it was like a "mic drop" moment for myself.

Hello. My name is Koren Wiskman, but many people call me Kori. My husband Tim and I run two businesses and have four kids. If this doesn’t immediately scream insanity, just keep reading…Tim and I grew up in the same waterfront town of Pasadena, Maryland. We graduated High School together in 1998, and about 15 years later we started dating. It would make an excellent love story, but we are not quite finished writing it yet. I became a Mother almost 20 years ago with my daughter Cailin. I’ve been crafting since birth but I discovered stamping when I was pregnant with my first son Hayden over 18 years ago. I fell in love and I have been card making ever since. Since then my joy for paper crafting has grown right along with my family. I now have a step-daughter Olivia who will be 13 this year. You can find me on YouTube and many of the popular social media sites. Thats where you will also meet Dexter my youngest, he is seven, and he is the perfect combination of me and Tim. See many of our family outings and shenanigans as well as plenty of crafting goodness.
