Hi everyone it’s Holly from the Your Next Stamp Design Team. STAMPtember is in full swing and Your Next Stamp is excited to be joining in the Fun. I don’t send a lot of Halloween cards but sometimes the sets are just too adorable and you have to add them to your collection. And it’s even better when the Sentiments work for other occasions. The FANG- TASTIC set from Your Next Stamp is perfect for any occasion. I used the Bat image and the fun Sentiment along with the New Batty Background Stamp for a “Love” card.
I created a Black top folding card base and then I cut two front panels from some Neenah Solar White 80b card stock. I used the YNS Circle Dies and Stitching Marks Dies to create Three windows in the front of one of the panels. Then I traced the opening lightly with a pencil onto the other panel. Using some Post it I masked off the openings and created an Ombre’ look with some Wilted Violet Distress Ink and a Mini ink Blending tool. Once the background was dry I stamped the Batty Background using some VersaFine Black Onyx ink. I adhered the front panel with the windows over the background using some Tombow Multi Liquid Glue and attached the panel to the front of the Black card base using some Advanced Tape Glider.
I stamped the Bat image onto some Neenah Solar White card stock with SSS Intense Black ink and colored it in with Copics. Using the coordinating FANG-TASTIC dies cut the image out with the Big Shot and adhered it to the card with some Foam Tape. I stamped the sentiment onto a some Neenah Solar White and die cut it using the YNS Cool Tag 3 Die set and adhered it just under the Bat image. For an additional pop of the Purple color I added some Comic Crush Gumdrops from YNS.
Thanks to Simon Says Stamp for inviting us to help Celebrate STAMPtember.

This is explained in their catchy tag-line: Organize your craft. Unleash your creativity!
So how did this company get its start? Stamp-n-Storage Founder, Brett Haugen, is an OCD mechanical engineer who enjoys woodworking. His wife, an avid paper crafter, was looking for better ways to organize her supplies. Storage space for her crafting was at a premium, so Brett tried to make her the most space-efficient organizers that he possibly could. Those first products were built in his garage. Needless to say, his wife’s stamping friends were very impressed and wanted their craft spaces to be as organized as hers. In 2009, Brett began building a few of the items based on the designs for his wife’s craft room. He was curious to know if anyone would want to buy them. After a successful run with eBay, he decided there was enough of a demand to keep making these papercrafting storage units. Eventually, a website was created and Stamp-n-Storage became an official business. It remained a small hobby business. Brett found time to build the products and fulfill orders during the hours when he wasn’t working at his full-time job.
Fast-forward to 2012 to when things really started to change for this small company. Promotions on Splitcoaststampers really brought in a lot of business, and Brett came to the conclusion that this was no longer a hobby business. It was a full-time job (and he already had one of those!). The security of a career in engineering management was set aside for going forward with Stamp-n-Storage. Since then, the company moved out of the Haugen’s two-car garage and into a 2,000 square foot shop. Employees were hired, and production was in full swing! The company re-branded in 2014 and once again, the space for making the products became too crowded. This lead to another re-location in a larger, beautiful, new shop where they are located today.
We love that Stamp-n-Storage understands the value of keeping craft rooms organized by colors, sets, and brands. Oh, and if you’ve ever ordered any of their products, you’ll appreciate just how wonderful the Baltic Birch wood smells when it’s in your craft room (and that’s just a free bonus as an owner of the Stamp-n-Storage system)! Watch this About Us video below and learn more about the humble beginnings of this wonderful craft storage company. (To think that it all started with a honey-do list!) Enjoy!
