Welcome to the Your Next Stamp November New Release BLOG HOP!  We've got some fabulous new YNS stamps to showcase today! These new stamps are available to buy right now from the Your Next Stamp store along with all your YNS favourites.  We also have a wonderful guest joining us for our hop - the amazing Jen del Muro.

If you would like to participate in the hop and you didn't arrive here from 
Wendy's blog, please CLICK HERE to return to the start of the hop at the Maureen's blog, as you don't want to miss these fab new releases!

The hop starts today (Thursday November 18 at 03:00 EST) and ends on Saturday November 20 at midnight EST.

As always, here at Your Next Stamp, we have a wonderful prize for you to win!  One lucky winner will be drawn at random from the comments at Karen's blog to receive a new release stamp package.  It's not a requiremenbt for you to comment at every stop along the hop to be eligible, but the DT would sure love to hear what you think of their new release creations!


Not only is Karen offering an amazing hop prize, she's also holding a special 20% OFF YOUR ORDER sale which is running for an entire week (from today untli November 25 at midnight EST)!  Be sure to enter the code YNSNOV when checking out at http://www.yournextstamp.com to receive your 20% discount!


So onto my blog hop creations! Since many are in the Christmas mode, including me, and trying to make gifts and cards for the holidays, I have decided to get started on my holiday gift giving.  I have used three different miniature stamps and created little gift sets for each.
The first stamp used is the adorable Fhiona's Christmas tree.  This can be used for tags and so many other things!  I decided to make a little treat bag. I colored the tree with copics and added some sparkle to the star. The tag is cut out with a tag die from Our Daily Bread Designs. The dp is a retired paper from Stampin Up.
My next creation uses the adorable Ellie Loves to Bake Miniature.  Karen has carried the larger Ellie Loves to Bake in her store but today she is releasing a miniature.  This is just perfect for recipe cards so I created one.  I posted a gift set with almond tarts last week and had so many requests for a recipe card, I decided to use that so you all can enjoy the recipe.




My last creation uses the adorable miniature Fhiona's Snowman...again the larger snowman is in the store but sometimes you need a smaller stamp...this is it.  I made a little cute carton using the die from Stampin up.  To accompany my gift set I made a little candy wrapper.  The template for this easy candy wrapper is created by Leigh Ann Baird and is available here. The snowflake on the wrapper is a snowflakes die from Spellbinders.  The dp on the milk carton is SU Ski slope (retired).  The dp on the candy wrapper is SU Candy Cane (still available).  The little snowflakes hanging on the carton are buttons.






So now it's time for you to hop on over to Linda Cumming's blog as she is the next stop on our hop, but I'd love it if you left me a comment before you go!

Should there be a break in the blog hop, here is the entire list:
