MSS Paint the Town #17

It's better late than never right?  Well, apparently I left this post in draft form and never scheduled it.  So here I am a bit late with the newest Paint the Town Challenge from

MARKET STREET STAMPS! 

Just look at these peaceful colors.....tan, wheat, buttery yellow, and mystic blue.  Here's my take on these beautiful colors.

Now, go create a project using Market Street Stamps for your chance at winning.  One randomly selected participant will win a stamp set of choice ($15 or less)!  Enjoy your day!

{Happy Anniversary}

Dies:  Edger Dies (PTI), Double Ended Banner Die (Lil' Inker Designs)

Soft and feminine.....

Hi all!  I have a card to share today that can also be seen over at the Market Street Stamps Blog.  It's no secret that I LOVE Market Street Stamps background stamps.  They are absolutely the best thing......full card size and excellent coverage.  Not to mention that MSS has TONS of designs to choose from! 

I chose to work with Grace and Mesh for creating my background.  I stamped a whole panel of each and then just cut 1 1/4 inch strips and layered them on a scrap piece of cardstock.  The sentiment is from a new set called Simple Salutations (which I love).  It's nice to have a MSS sentiment set to use with all my MSS cards now! 

Alright, I need to go and get to marking for my annual garage sale that starts tomorrow and I've only marked a couple of boxes!  Yikes!!!  Wish me luck!  We usually have HUGE success with our garage sales and I can't wait to get the sale started!

{Happy Birthday}

Market Street Stamps and Ribbon Carousel 2 Day Blog Hop!!!

Welcome to Day 2 of the Market Street Stamps and Ribbon Carousel Blog Hop!  This is the 2nd day of goodness from both DTs where we are showcasing stamps from MSS and gorgeous ribbons from RC!  And did I mention prizes??  I'll get to that at the bottom of my post. 

 

When I received my ribbons in the mail from Ribbon Carousel, I was just BLOWN AWAY.  I chose to work with the January Valentine Ribbon kit.  OMG.  I was literally amazed at how much ribbon was in this kit!  Everything from seam binding, twine, sheer ruffles, chevron, to stripes.  Pure gorgeousness!!  From my kit, I chose to work with the sheer ruffles, cranberry seam binding, and twine.  I had to go with something a little more vintagy and I think I pulled it off!  Using MSS awesome background set, Grace, I stamped it and added in some tiny hearts from Follow your Heart.  The cute bird and sentiment also come from this set!!

Alright, so I did mention prizes.  Here's what you have to do during this blog hop:

Market Street Stamps Designer Showcase!!!

It's time, it's time!  Let's get started with some fun cards using Market Street Stamps that were just released this week!  Did you miss the November Release?  You can see and buy all EIGHT new
sets------------>>>HERE.

First I want to share a card with my newest *favorite* background stamp:  Grace.  Oh. My. Goodness.  The detail in this stamp is absolutely incredible.  I paired it up with a sentiment and a tiny heart from the stamp set:  Follow Your Heart, to make a Valentine card for someone special.

With a little machine stitching and some crochet trim, this is all this card needed.  That gorgeous background just steals the show.  Here are some more photos of that detailed design on the background.

Next up is this cutie.  I like dogs and we have a sweet Fox Terrier but I'm telling you that my "likeness" for dogs is NOTHING in comparison to my Clinical Coordinator (my boss) at work.  We're talking a dog bedroom with a closet full of clothes, daybed, wooden stairs to get into daybed, beautiful dog dishes and bowls, and I could go on and on.  But instead, I will share the card I made for her for Christmas this year using Pawprints on our Hearts.

I love this sweet little dog image however I'm not happy with my coloring skills.  I colored him in with various Copics and I even gave him a shiny nose using Glossy Accents!  The sentiment is from another new set called Cool Cats.  What's great about these two sets is that there is so much that you can mix and match!  Love that!

I will be sharing more using the new stamps during this next week as there is a fun Blog Hop on Tuesday and the next Paint the Town challenge is on Wednesday!  But what can YOU do in the meantime???  Make a card, altered art, WHATEVER.........but we want to see you use some Market Street Stamps and link them up for our Block Party that ends tomorrow night!  You can find the information HERE and there is a prize to win and a Guest Design Team spot for January! 

P.S.  Don't forget that all the new release stamps are on sale for a whole week!!  :)
