Block Party {Market Street Stamps}

It's time for another release of new sets and backgrounds from Market Street Stamps!

Here is a little something I created using the new sentiment set {Essential Holiday Elegance}:


I created a quick tag set that will be perfect for the upcoming holiday season. I used one of the sentiments from the set on the front of the tag, and the front flap of the tag can be opened to reveal...


...the "to" and "from" portion of the tag.

These were quick, easy, and beautiful thanks to the great new sentiments from Market Street Stamps!

A Note To Say Hello

I'm back again with the same sentiment stamp from the guitar card I shared on Monday - but this card takes a different approach. I got messy with paint and added in some layered stamping to create a one-layer card with "dimension".


I don't get to get out my paint much, but it sure is fun. Give it a try!

Thanks for coming by!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill (Teal);
Stamps: American Crafts (sentiment); Claudine Hellmuth (frame from Decor-Clear, frame from Decor-Foam);
Ink: Memento (Tuxedo Black);
Paint: Folk Art (Yellow, White);

I'm back again today with another rose stamp.
I used the masking technique to add in the Worn Grid background to create a one layer card.

I colored the image with Copic markers and added a few simple pearls to finish it off.

Today's card is a simple one - just cardstock, ink, and one stamp - but I loved the way it turned out.

The stamp is from the Melody Ross "Love Life" Unity set and I inked it with a few colors of chalk ink. I love the size of this stamp because it can easily be used to create a quick card that still has a big impact.

When I started creating projects for this week I noticed that many of the stamps I was using were florals (roses, especially). I don't know what it is about flowery stamps...I just love them!
{And unlike most women I'd rather NOT have my husband bring me home fresh flowers.}

This rose from the "A Thing of Beauty" Itty Bitty set is one of my all-time favorite Unity stamps. I love coloring it with Copics, but here it is colored with Distress Inks.
