MSS Block Party!

 

HI!

It's BLOCK PARTY time again!

While you're waiting on your orders to arrive in the mail- play with some of your older Market Street Stamps and share some inspiration! All you have to do is link up on the Market Street Stamps blog (with any projects using MSS) and YOU could win an awesome prize package OR A GUEST DESIGNER SPOT! 

AND there's a FREE digi! You don't even need any Market Street Stamps to play along- stop by the Neighborhood and join the Block Party Group to pick up the free digi stamp!




Here's a card I made for the block party!



I was inspired by the latest challenge from The Play Date Cafe! This week's challenge is black, white, and a splash of brown! 


You know I'm all about the neutrals so this challenge is right up my alley! 

I started by stamping a square of Rustic Cream cardstock with three different Amuse Studio inks: Onyx, French Roast, and Latte. This plaid background was stamped with the new Candy Stripe background stamp from MSS! I just turned the stamp each time I stamped to create this pattern! This background is SOOOO versatile! LOVE it!

That sweet sentiment is from the new mini stamp set Blessings in Disguise!


Make sure you find some time to join our Block Party this weekend! Run over to the MSS blog to check it out! We can't wait to see what you make!

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE....

 The Market Fresh Kits are a monthly kit PERFECT to jump start your creativity!

So tonight we have some great CARDS to share from myself, Jinny, and Brenda! This kit really can be used for ANYTHING- don't feel that you are limited to scrapbooking with it! Also, it is a TREMENDOUS value! It is packed FULL of brand new products for a price that you just can't beat! 
Check out the KIT CLUB POLICIES  and the MSS blog for more details!

Here's the first card I made with the new kit- LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! 


Believe it or not, this card was made with only one of the patterned papers and one of the sheets of cardstock in the kit. The flower was cut from one side of the paper and the green stripe is from the other side of the same paper. The heart stripe is from the bottom of that SAME paper! Don't forget about the little strip the says the name and brand of the paper- they sometimes have FABULOUS designs on them! 

The sentiment "you're cool" is from the Cheep Talk set- LOVE those sentiments- SO fun! 
(sentiment stamp and kraft cardstock are not included in the kit)


This next was is super fun, too!



I created this card for this weeks challenge over at The Play Date Cafe



and also for the March SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY challenge

I LOVE yellow and gray- and I couldn't wait to use this light bulb and sentiment from the ON THE BRIGHT SIDE... kit! (available Saturday 3/10 7 PM Central!) Did I mention that I designed this stamp and sentiment? YUP! And I couldn't be more thankful to Angelica for giving me the opportunity! Really surreal to see the designers using this stamp!

Hi-Ya Play Date Cafe!

Hey!

I promised I'd be back with another "misted" card and here I am! And what do you know? The card I made fits the new challenge at The Play Date Cafe perfectly! Don't ya love it when it works out like that! 

Here's the challenge:


And here's my card:

 
Ooohhh... I LOVE a good color splash challenge! One of my faves! 


This card is SUPER clean and simple- the base is beautiful Shimmer White cardstock from PTI- love that stuff. The top layer is White cardstock that I masked before misting the bottom section with Mister Huey's Bluegrass and Heirloom Blue mists. I added a quick spray of Calico Shine on top to give it a little shimmer! 


Then, I removed the mask, stamped the sentiment, tied some Charcoal twine from The Twinery around the layer, and adhered it to the card base with foam adhesive! 


Thanks for stopping by today!
