I am Virginia Lu from Ontario, Canada. I could not be more thrilled to be here as the December Guest Designer! I have been an avid card maker since 2008. I am a simple stamper and I like to add a “wow” factor to my cards as it gives the receivers a lasting impression and a sense of delight and charm. My latest favorite products to use are distress inks and alcohol inks. Trying out new techniques and various products help me stretch my creativity. I love the designs and quality of Market Street Stamps . The stamp designs range from fun and whimsical to vintage shabby. They definitely suit any stamper’s style and needs! Thank you, Market Street Stamps, for this opportunity to work with your wonderful stamps!
I love Baby Basics from Market Street Stamps. It is a perfect set for making Baby Announcements and Baby Shower-themed cards. The idea is to keep the design clean and simple and you can mass produce them easily. Here are some ideas that I came up with and I hope that you are inspired to try them out.
Washi tape are all the rage! Why not utilize them for instant patterning and colors!? These Target washi tape came in handy for making a baby boy/girl Congratulations cards! You can customize the look by using the smallest stamps to your liking. These two cards took less than 10 minutes to make!
The sentiment “heaven sent” is perfect for mulberry paper/handmade paper with the adorable teddy bear image. The minimal copic-coloring of the bears keep the look clean and crisp.
Adding textures is a great way to add a special handmade touch to this darling bear image. You can apply this idea to create gift bags, pocket cards...etc. I used felt and twines for the thank-you cards.
Lastly, if you want to get super creative, you can stamp a design with the clotheslines, pins and rubber ducky from this set. It can be as simple or elaborate as you want it to be.
I hope you enjoy these fun cards that I made! Big thanks to Market Street Stamps for having me as the December guest designer! It is pure FUN!
