MSS Sneak Peeks Day 3: Pawprints on our Heart, Honeycomb

Good morning! 
Are you ready for one more round of sneaks! You guys are going to LOVE these new stamps!

  

We shortened our release week for November, so we'll have the final reveal and release on the Market Street Stamp blog TONIGHT, Wednesday, November 30th at 7 pm CST!

Here are the details of the release:
  • Show Sneak Peek images from our sets Monday and Tuesday. Monday and Tuesday's Sneak peeks are scheduled for 7 pm and Wednesday's sneak peek is scheduled for 7 am Central Time. {For this release, we'll have a limited number of Designer Samples. Not to worry, though, we'll have an inspiration showcase on Saturday, December 3rd to make up for it!}
  • On Wednesday, our sets will be revealed and all the sets will go on sale in the Marketplace 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).

Here's my project showcasing the uber cute Pawprints on our Heart set and the  new Honeycomb background- used in a little bit of a different way! I'm entering this card into the Celebrating Relationships Challenge in the Moxie Fab World!  I'm also entering this one in the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge! Here's the challenge:





When I saw this sweet little puppy, I knew I had to put him behind a "fence!" Haha! I started by stamping and heat setting the new Honeycomb background stamp on a sheet of clear acetate. I cut a window in my card base, mounted the acetate layer on top of that, and then covered it up with another white frame. Super cute window/fence for my little pup! The grass and clouds are from the Crate Paper Random Collection! And, of course, some Charcoal twine from The Twinery.


On the inside of the card, I have this sweet little puppy from the new Pawprints on our Heart set colored with Copics and positioned so you can see him through the fence! 

I had so much fun playing with these new sets! You guys are seriously going to love them! Don't forget to stop by the Market Street Stamps blog this morning to leave a comment for your chance to win one of these new stamp sets! And, of course, don't miss the big reveal tonight on the MSS blog at 7 PM Central Time!

Have a fabulous day everyone!!

These sets are so, so beautiful- the snowflakes have a TON of detail and I love how tightly packed they are on the stamp! See that snowflake background on the card? Yup! Stamped that in one quick stamp with PTI Fresh Snow ink- and it came out BEAUTIFULLY!

That sweet little reindeer is a very detailed grouping of teeny tiny snowflakes- they create a beautiful texture that I've never seen before in a stamp! Really unique and pretty! The sentiment on the tag is another one from the Essential Holiday Elegance stamp set (available Wednesday) that I peeked yesterday!

Make sure you stop by the Market Street Stamps blog tonight to see some more beautiful samples and sneaks! And don't forget to comment over there for your chance to win one of the new stamp sets!

Clean, simple, and OH SO MAILABLE is what I was going for with this one! 

I started by stamping the new MESH background (available Wednesday!) with Momento Lady Bug ink and then again in Momento Bamboo Leaves ink. This created a very festive focal point for my sentiment.

I LOVE the font combinations in this new holiday sentiment set called ESSENTIAL HOLIDAY ELEGANCE (available Wednesday!). Definitely perfect for your holiday cards and tags! 

Finished it off with some sweet Charcoal twine from The Twinery!

Bountiful Blessings...

Well, hello! 


Hope you're all doing well today! So sorry for my long silences between posts! Between the holidays coming up quickly and a myriad of other things, I just haven't had much motivation to craft these past couple of weeks! I know, I'm crazy.... but things should be looking up soon! I have some new Market Street Stamps coming my way and I can't wait to share some samples with you next week! Look forward to that!!


I'm here (and over at the Market Street Stamps blog) today to share a card I made to help celebrate one of my FAVORITE holidays, Thanksgiving! I can't even seem to THINK about Christmas until Thanksgiving is behind us and I think it's very important to take the time with your family and remember all of your blessings. And eat turkey, of course! 


I'm also playing along with the CAS-ual Fridays challenge this week- I feel in love with this sketch by the super talented Karen Baker! It's my go-to layout so I thought I'd give it a go! 





So I whipped up this card (hehe...) to help celebrate those "bountiful blessings" we all have in our lives!


Love, love, love this pumpkin from the Autumn Greetings set and I swear there has got be dozens of sentiment combinations to chose from! Love this font so I've been reaching for this set more and more lately. I created the center image by masking off the Rustic Ccream cardstock except for a rectangle in the center. Then, I stamped the mixer image from Comfort Food repeatedly to create my own pattern. I finished it off by using my ink blending tool and Antique Linen distress ink to highlight the patterned area. Really cool effect!

I hope you all have a FABULOUS Thanksgiving holiday- make sure you take some time to relax with your loved ones!

Here's my project:


Oooooohhhh... two of my favorite products together on one card! I went very earthy on this card- stamping the Paisley background stamp from Market Street Stamps with Frayed Burlap and Antique Linen Distress Inks. LOVE the leathery look of stamping Frayed Burlap on Kraft. So pretty. 

I had SO much fun crocheting with my twine from The Twinery! I whipped up a couple of quick flowers, one with Lemondrop twine and a slightly smaller one with Cappuccino twine. I layered them together and popped a button in the center to create this super cute embellishment! These colors screamed fall for me, so I went with the sentiment "Happy Fall" from the Autumn Greetings set!

From here you can hop over to the super talented Jenny Suchin's blog!

Happy hoppin'!

CAS-ual Fridays meets Moxie Fab World Challenge!

Happy Wednesday!


Checking in tonight to share I card I made today for the newest CAS-ual Fridays challenge! The challenge this week is to create a card with a design element that goes over the edge!




I decided to pair this challenge with the Moxie Fab World Championing Award Medallions Challenge!


Here's my card:


This is a 4" x 7" card- it'll fit perfectly in a 5"x7" envelope with medallion hanging over the side! I had a lot of fun making these fun embellishments and I know I'll be making more soon! I paired the medallions with the pretty doily stamps from PTI. The sentiment is from PTI's Happy Trails set. The Finally Fall paper from Bella Blvd was the perfect pop of color on this card!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you'll play along with me in these fun challenges!
