It’s a party! Wanna come?

Market Street Stamps is having a great block party to kick off their 1st Anniversary! Congrats MSS!

I hope you’ll join us and have some inky fun. There’s a guest designer spot for Market Street Stamp up for grabs as well as a $50 store credit each month for an entire year. Be sure to check it out here!

Once again I gave into the allure of my background stamps and had some inky fun with them. For this design, I’ve combined three different Market Street Stamps to create the background as well as the fun color and pattern on the chipboard tree. Stamping with background stamps is a great way to add interest to a design.

Here’s the close-up…

Quick Tip: I’ve been asked by quite a few people how I stamp so cleanly on canvas and fabric. As I stamp with many types of stamps, I think the secret is in the ink. I love all the Ranger Archival Inks for clean and permanent stamping on fabric. My absolute favorite ink is the Ranger Jet Black Archival Ink. I use it for all black stamping except when using Copic Markers.

Happy creating!

It’s officially fall and I’d like to share some Autumn greetings with you today. When I think of Fall I think of wool sweaters, leaves and cozy prints. I think of back to school and I think of argyle. Argyle is one of those classic patterns that looks great with almost everything. The Argyle Background from Market Street Stamps is so lovely stamped in any color but I’m lovin’ it here stamped in white pigment ink on kraft. I have lots of ideas for this stamp so stay tuned. You’ll be seeing it a lot!

I paired up last month’s beautiful Autumn Greetings stamp set with the Argyle Background for sneak peek week at Market Street Stamps. I love how beautifully they pair up together! My argyle layer creates a frame for the beautiful fall flowers by using a die to cut out the window. Coloring kraft cardstock with colored pencils is a super easy technique and always looks beautiful.

As I mentioned above, it’s sneak peek week at Market Street Stamps. Here’s how sneak peek week works…

• DT projects (sneak peeks) on the Market Street Blog Monday thru Wednesday. All peeks are scheduled at 7 pm Central Time.
• On Thursday, the sets are revealed and all the sets go on sale at 7 pm Central Time.
• For ONE WHOLE WEEK after that, new sets are 15% off individually or 25% off if you buy that month’s bundle (all sets in the release)

And here’s a peek at another upcoming Market Street set, Sweet Spooks…

This card is super simple. It has an argyle mini stamp in it as well. It’s a slightly smaller scale and comes as just a strip of argyle so that you can stamp it however wide you wish. I’ve stamped the argyle image 5 times for the above card to make the background.

To make the ghost look “spooky”, I’ve stamped it onto vellum and allowed it to “float” on the card. I know vellum can be tricky to adhere without showing the adhesive so here’s my trick…

Quick Tip: Color in the ghost eyes on the reverse side of the vellum for a subtle look. Then, use a glue pen to apply adhesive just on the back of the eyes. You won’t see the adhesive this way and the ghost seems to float on the card.

Happy stamping!

Remember yesterday’s post? The Vintage Wallpaper stamp in pink? Well…here it is again! In pink. Funny how that happened. Especially seeing as I created the designs at least a week apart. I guess this is one of those times when working ahead doesn’t quite work out. I usually like to vary things up a little here.

BUT…

At least today’s design has a slightly different look. It’s soft and pretty as a thinking of you should be.

If you look closely, you’ll find that I’ve used three different shades of ink on this card design. A soft pink, a coral-red color and a lavender. They are chalk inks that blend beautifully on the stamp but making your impression.

Today I’m sharing this design on the Market Street Blog. It’s a daily source of great stamping inspiration. Hope you’ll join us!
