MSS Block Party Time!

It's Market Street Stamps BLOCK PARTY time!!! 

This is the time to use those Market Street Stamps for a chance at some prizes!  The big prize is a Guest Design Team spot for next month!  The other prize will be a random pick and will win a prize package of stamps and goodies!

Now, there's been a new "little" release this week and if you have been keeping up, the illustrators have released some fabulous new stamps this month!  Remember, all the new releases are 15% off through November 11th!

For the holidays, I am going to try making tags for my gifts this year.......yes a far cry from all the fancy wrapping and bows that I used to do ages ago (way before kiddos).  But this way, I still get to include paper crafting into my holiday which I have missed!  I've used some images from the Country Christmas stamp set for my tags.

We would LOVE for you to come to our Block Party this month!  Check out the details over on the Market Street Stamps blog!

Cloud 9 Blog Hop {November}

 

What day is today?  (other than Friday....yippee!)  It's time for the Cloud 9 Blog Hop!  This is a fun time for me as I put to use those fabulous iamges from Wplus9 stamps.  I'm a huge fan and having a challenge to spark my creativity is just what I need sometimes!

 

This month was a gorgeous photo with crisp white quilted bedding with a holiday motif.  I chose to go with the quilted look and that bold blue and red color combo.  First using the Quilt Cuts 2 Die, I impressed the die into my cardstock.  Using the same quilt block die again, this time only diecutting the pattern with turquoise cardstock and adhering the pieces over my impressed pattern.  Then a simple heart was placed over the center. 

 

 Here is the inspiration photo for this month.....isn't it just gorgeous??

Market Street Stamps Blog Hop Day 2!



Hello and Welcome to Day 2 of the November Release from Market Street Stamps! This month there are SEVEN new stamp sets from some of your favorite MSS illustrators and they are already available!! We are celebrating this release with a Blog Hop so if you are following the Hop, you should have arrived from Tifany DeGough's blog. If not, please start at the Market Street Stamps blog where you can find a full Blog Hop list.

All of the new sets are 15% off through Sunday, November 11th!



Again today, I went traditional....this time using Country Christmas.  I just couldn't stray from these colors.  Here I've stamped the little pine bough several times at the top of my card.  Then I stamped the ornament "string".  I decided to paper piece the ornaments with pattern paper.  Both ornaments are using Echo Park papers.  I've went in and added some glitter to give it a little shine!

 

All the stamps I've used here are from Country Christmas!  Didn't Julie Day do a FABULOUS job illustrating this set?  You would not believe how many images she packs into her sets!  This set is just overflowing with primitive country images!  My sentiment is selectively stamped and then pieced together with another stamp.  Then look at the stitches stamp at the bottom.....she's designed it evenly spaced to be able to stamp another color in between!!!  LOVE!

I've used the fabulous new Mini Holiday Backgrounds for a very traditional CAS card.  I stamped my holly background in green.....adding dots of "red holly" with a R29 Copic.  Several beautiful scripty holiday words (from another new set) were stamped randomly on the base cardstock and one on a small tag that is grounded by red/white twine by Martha Stewart.

Here is a close up detail shot.......

 Ok, so I know lots of you are fans of MSS background stamps like I am.  These new "minis" are just perfect size for making it more of a focal point!
