Fun Friday Challenge #131 "Share the Love"

Today I have a card for Fun Friday Challenge #131 at Your Next Stamp. The theme is   "Share the Love - however you want to interpret this. Could be a Valentine, something you love - get creative!".


The Fun Friday challenges come with two chances win prizes!! Comment on the YNS Blog, Instagram or Facebook pages for a chance to win a free stamp set. Comment on all three to increase your chances, but comments must be left by January 29th. The winner will be announced on January 31st on the YNS Blog.
 See more details about the prizes at the end of my post today.

I love using grid type dies to help with paper scraps - when I opened this 6 x 6" Valentine paper package again this year, I was surprised by the number of scraps in the bag. So I pulled out the YNS Photo Booth Panel Die and used up a bunch of those scraps for my card front. I used the YNS Stripe-Tastic Heart dies for the centre area as a place to seat the cute heart-holdiing-dog, and added some YNS Gumdrops to the upper left corner.


This little dog just makes me smile. I picked up the YNS 'Love and Hugs' stamp set last year for Valentine's Day. There are coordinating dies available which are on my wish list, but for this card I fussy cut the dog from the white card stock. Normally I would add glossy accents or a glaze pen to his nose, but I wanted that red heart to have all the emphasis.




Here is a peek at the inside, where I cut two small foiled scraps with a YNS stitched fishtail banner die and stapled them to the stitched white panel. I also added a small heart die cut from a scrap to the lower right.





The Fun Friday Challenge #131 runs through February 6th at midnight. One random participant will win a $15 gift certificate to the Your Next Stamp store.  If YNS stamps or dies are the focal point then the winner receives an additional $5 gift certificate for a total of $20.  The winner will be announced on the YNS Blog the Sunday after the challenge closes. Check it all out on the Your Next Stamp blog HERE.
