Hello crafty friends ...


It's time for a new Fun Friday Challenge at Your Next Stamp! Challenge #134 has the theme:  "Let's Get Lucky - use something you think is lucky on your creation/something you are lucky to have - happiness, love, etc."

The Fun Friday challenges come with two chances win prizes!! Comment on the YNS BlogInstagram 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 March 11th 2020. The winner will be announced on March 13th on the YNS Blog.

More details about the prizes at the end of my post


Aside from the things I'm grateful for on a daily basis, I feel very lucky to have such a great hobby and blessed to have met so many wonderful people through it. Today's card is for one of those people who I would never have known if not for crafting. She has an upcoming birthday and I get to see her in person this year and will hand deliver her card.



Remember you can always see my card videos on my YouTube Channel HERE.


Since I like making Trifold cards these days, that is what I chose to do again for this one. I used the YNS Stitched Square dies to cut the window in the front panel and nested two together to cut the frame. Of course I also added some sparkly YNS Gumdrops - I just love those little beauties. 



When you open the first panel, the cute cat & mouse in a sparkly polaroid frame is revealed. The Polaroid Frame with Piercing Marks is part of the February release at YNS and I have to tell you I'm getting a ton of use out of it! The cute cat and mouse is from the new Photo Booth All Smiles set. I coloured the image with Copic markers, used the coordinating dies ti cut it out and mounted it behind an the frame with acetate in front for an added detail.



You see the birthday words when the card is fully opened. Remember you can always click on a photo to open it up in a separate window, for larger and clearer images than the blog photos.




The stamped sentiment is from the YNS Whatnot Sentiments Set 12.



The Fun Friday Challenge #134 runs through March 20th 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.
