Your Next Stamp April Release Blog Hop


Hello and welcome to the Your Next Stamp April new release blog hop.

We are at the half way point of the month and I feel like this month is flying by me. It has been a busy month and I have been wearing a number of hats as mom, wife, boss, taxi driver, event planner, nurse, house keeper..........I really can go on. Today I am excited to be wearing my crafty hat and showing of a couple of projects for this months YNS release.

I am super excited about this first project. It's very clean and simple, but since it features another of my favourite things, I wanted the image to be centre stage. My first project is a bookmark created using the new BOOKWORMS RULE and the LARGE BOOKMARK die.


That pile of books is a common mess to be found in my house. Definitely one mess I don't mind having. I don't have a lot of time these days to read, however I am happy to see that my kids share the same love of reading.


Here is a look at the back of the bookmark. The paper is from Simple Stories Enchanted collection.


Stamps and Dies used:


For my second creation, I play around with a few dies and the TEAR AWAY SENTIMENTS TWO stamp set. I used the NOTEBOOK EDGE die and the TEAR AWAY SMALL die to create this fun interactive pull tab panel for a birthday card.



Under each of the pull tabs I added sentiments from the TEAR AWAY SENTIMENTS TWO stamp set.

Since I like to decorate the inside, I thought it was a great place for another tab using the TEAR AWAY TAB (MEDIUM) die.
