Market Street Stamps, Part II

Hi everyone! I'm a guest blogger with Market Street Stamps, and today I'm sharing my second set of projects on their blog today. You can check it out HERE. :)

For today’s projects, I used the Shine On set by Stephanie Washburn. This set rocks! It has several Christmas images, but there are also sentiments that fit for every day projects.

I thought it would be fun to make a set of cards, and I ended up making a card to give with the set. I started off making this CAS card:

I stamped the sunburst image with Versamark on Rustic White cardstock and heat embossed it with Enchanted Gold. These stamps stamp very cleanly (love that!), and I didn’t have any issues with uneven lines. I finished off the card by stamping a sentiment from the Shine On set.

Here’s a close-up to see the embossing:

Next, I made the card set. I started off by misting white cardstock with several glittery mists to create a background. Here's what each looked like:

The misting was pretty haphazard since most of it would be covered up....I was primarily trying to get a mottled background. Then, I used the same design and heat embossed the sunburst image in a sparkly orange color:

I liked how the misting in the background complemented the sun. It was worth the stained fingers to have a custom background. ;)

I made three identical cards, and then I decided to make one card slightly different. (What can I say? I’m fickle.) For the fourth card in the set, I created an ombre:

I’m entering this card into the Moxie Fab World Ombre Challenge. While I typically think of ombre within one image, in this card it's broken up between the red sentiment and then the orange and gold sunburst rays. Here's a close-up:

I want to give a big thanks to Angelica and Jorge at Market Street Stamps for having me. It’s been awesome!

Have a great day!

Market Street Stamps, Part I

Hi everyone! Today I'm guest blogging over at Market Street Stamps. Yeah!

When Jorge at MSS contacted me about guesting, I knew I wanted to use the Foodie Doodles set. It has to be one of the most adorable stamp sets ever. I made two cards to show different approaches to this set.

First up is a love card:

Aren’t those images too cute? I stamped the doughnuts repeatedly and then colored them with some Copic markers. The stamps are such nice quality, I managed to stamp all of the images clearly on the first try—believe me...that's a big accomplishment. ;) 

Below is a close-up of the yellow doughnut and mug. The hearts and sentiment are from the same set. 

I love how you could either use the images in the set together or alone. In my second card, I used one of the images alone. 

When I saw the cute peanut in the Foodie Doodles set, I knew I wanted to make a baby/pregnancy card:

I started the card by stamping the Mesh Background in a light tan. This background stamp is my favorite—I like to use it on leaves for some added texture.

A couple of weeks ago I bought some Inktense colored pencils (Hobby Lobby coupon=score!). I used the pencils and added some water to blend the image. The pencils are fabulous! I only wish I had bought a larger set. ;) 

Here’s a close-up of the collage:

I stamped the same hearts on the first card to the right of the ticket. 

Thank you to stopping by! Be sure to stop by the Market Street blog and see my post. :) Have a great day!
