Inspiration Week :: Scor-Pal & Market Street Stamps

Happy Monday everyone!

WOW - thank you so much for stopping by our blog this weekend for the Operation Write Home "Make 'Em Laugh" Blog Hop! I loved reading your comments, and you still have today and tomorrow to link up your funny card for a chance to win a $15.00 Gift Certificate to our shop! 

This week, we're SO happy to partner with the fabulous ladies at Scor-Pal!

&

We'll be featuring projects all week long using Market Street Stamps and the nice, deep creasing abilities of Scor-Pal's essential card-making tool, the Scor-Buddy!

So let's get to the projects for today, shall we?

Brenda Weaver 

Brenda's created a visual playground by creasing her card base three times width-wise and three times length-wise to create a grid for her elements. Brenda stamped her images from our "Daily Grind" set, and I have to say, I LOVE how her cards always seem to come across as a canvas. So artistic! Be sure to visit Brenda's blog for even more photos!

Angelica Suarez

When I created "Daily Grind", I was really inspired by old-school diners and the colors you might find in a coffee shop somewhere in the 1960's. Using the coffee bean border strip, I used the top of my stamp to line up each strip and stamped multiple times to create my own background paper. I used my Scor-Buddy to create an interesting frame to finish the card.  

Now, be sure to pop on over to the SCOR-PAL blog for even more inspiration from some of their designers, too!! We'll be back again tomorrow with more beautiful creations from Julie Day and Stephanie Muzzulin - you won't want to miss it!

Have a wonderful Monday, Stampers!

Operation Write Home :: Make 'em Laugh :: Blog Hop

Good Morning Stampers! Market Street Stamps is proud to support our nation’s deployed heroes through Operation Write Home®! This organization has sent over 1.5 million cards overseas so our service members can keep in touch with their loved ones while they’re away. And our blog is going to be participating in Operation Write Home® :: Make 'em Laugh Hop this weekend! Take a peek below to see the projects we’re sharing – and take some time to check out OWH’s blogs and all the others participating, starting at the top of the hop, http://www.owhstarsandstamps.org . You’ll be inspired!

Making the decision to support OWH was an easy one. Two of my cousins have served active duty in the Army and have been deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq. My grandpa was a Navy vet who went "half-way around the world - twice" during the Korean conflict. As a paper-crafter, this is a wonderful way to bring both worlds together, and I couldn't be more excited to help this organization in any way possible!

So today, we're not only sharing inspiration, we're offering SO many ways to donate to OWH, earn free stamps (we even have a free digi below!) and snag a discount on the ones that have been on your wish list for awhile.

Now for the inspiration...
First up, I took a stamp that was one of my very first I ever created (and maybe that's why I always go back to it!). This little puffer fish from "Under the Sea" looks so uncomfortable, I can't help but laugh every time I stamp him! Since there are no sentiments in this set, I created one specifically for this card, but think of all the "Sorry" cards you could send with it!

Next, Stephanie created the CA-UTEST little Patriotic Robot using Robo Love- isn't he sweet? She also used a sentiment from "Simple Salutations" that is fabulous for any image you choose.
