We Woof You a Merry Christmas

Q: What is better than a chihuahua wearing a shimmery scarf?

A:  THREE chihuahuas wearing  shimmery scarves!

And even better than that, three chihuahuas wearing shimmery scarves plus a Christmas sentiment pun!  These chihuahuas from Pawprints on our Hearts seemed a bit chilly after I colored them with some Copics, so I stamped the scarf from Cool Cats on some Die Cuts with a View shimmer paper, heat set, and then cut them out for the perfect accessory. It's a bit of a snug fit, but it works.  I used more shimmer paper to cut the sentiment using my Silhouette, then added some Echo Park paper for the perfect festive touch. 

I hope you are staying warm curled up with some Market Street Stamps!  What better way to spend a chilly weekend than getting inky?

Scrapbooking with Market Street Stamps!

Hi everyone and happy Saturday! It's Brenda here with you today, and today we're going to make it a scrappy Saturday! Are you game?

I love to scrapbook. It's my first paper crafting love, in fact, but it has kind of taken a back burner a little bit lately in favor of faster projects. Like cards. Maybe you're in that same place.

I like using stamps on my layouts because they have so many endless possibilities. I was able to use 3 different stamp sets on my layout today. Can you find them?

I love my Market Street background stamps! I know, who doesn't, right? They're fabulous! But they can be used for SO much more than just backgrounds. On my snow page today I used the Vintage Notepad background stamp to create some fun little patterned banners to adorn the top right hand side of my page. Did you notice?

I could have left my banners plain, but I think the subtle stamping just makes it so much more interesting. And for such little effort.

I also used the snowflake stamp from the new Cool Cats stamp set to add some little snowflake elements scattered here and there around the page. Again, subtle, but interesting.

The third stamp set I used is the new Flurries background. (sigh) It's just SO pretty! And I love the way it looks embossed with white on a kraft background, which is what I did here with my number stencils. Again, I could have left my stencils plain, but look at the wow factor a bit of stamping adds to the finished product!

I hope I have inspired you to get out your stamps and use them in your scrapbooks. And, hey, if you don't have anything going on today, why not make a scrapbook page with your MSS stamps and share it in the neighborhood! You know we'd all love to see it!

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope your weekend is super fantastic!!

November Release - Designer Showcase

featuring Market Street Stamps' 

November Release!

Welcome to Market Street Stamps' Designer Showcase, featuring stamps from our newest release! Our designers have created the most AMAZING cards - I simply couldn't believe my eyes when I started to receive them in my email! From earthy, rustic colors to bright pops of modern design, you can help but find at least one or two cards that inspire you (in my case, ALL of them)!

Before we move onto the gorgeous projects, just a quick reminder that all of the sets you see in tonight's showcase are 15% off single sets or 25% off when you purchase ALL the sets in this release. More details can be found here.

Julia Stainton
I love Rustic crafts and decor, so I was immediately in awe of Julia's elegant card. I love how she used colors that lend a bit of vintage charm to her project. Julia used "Prancer" and "Flurries".

Amy Kolling
Amy's sweet pup looks darling perched on a gingham panel. The pawprints lend a nice anchor to the sentiment as well. Isn't that glossy nose clever? Love that idea! Amy used "Pawprints on our Hearts" and then "Cool Cats" for her sentiment.

Brenda Weaver
Brenda's Christmas card shimmers with the help of a glittered holly die cut. I love the way she paired the elegant pattern in "Grace" with a plaid strip of patterned paper and topped it off with a pretty, traditional ribbon and a sentiment from our "Essential Holiday Elegance" set.

DoBea Alberts
What a great way to use leftover scraps from a pet layout! This puppy is accented perfectly with the muted reds, blues, tans and grays in her card! DoBea used "Pawprints on our Hearts" for this sweet card!

Jess Larsen
I adore Jess' card that could totally double as a gift if you made the ornament removable. Jess combined multiple sets for her CAS card - "Essential Holiday Elegance" for the sentiment, "Cool Cats" for the snowflakes on the ornament, and "Flurries" for the background. Perfect!

Julie Ranae
Julie's stylish ornaments are simply stunning with "Flurries" stamped in a light blue. The pattern paper is a perfect compliment, mimicking both the shapes of the ornaments and the snowflakes in the "Flurries" background. She finished each ornament off with some pretty silver string and sentiments from "Essential Holiday Elegance".

Julie Day
How darling is this little tabby cat? Julie colored her just perfectly and that jingle bell on her collar was the perfect little detail! Can you imagine your feline-loving friend opening a card that made a sound? Adorable! Julie used "Cool Cats" to create this card - even stamping the snowflakes on the blue card base. Brilliant!

Meg Craig
Meg's "Merry Christmas" card is simply stunning! This is one handmade card that could easily be multiplied and shipped! Meg used "Flurries" for the background and "Essential Holiday Elegance" for her sentiment.

Michele Gross

I love the way Michele designed this eye-catching card! "Prancer" looks adorable as Rudolph with his red bulb nose! Michelle also used "Flurries" for this background.

Sarah Jay

Sarah's card, designed with traditional hues and paired with a bit of velvet and lace, is the perfect blend of style and nostalgia. She stamped "Flurries" on the cream shape, and sentiments from "Essential Holiday Elegance". 

Stephanie Muzzulin

Stephanie's paper pieced cat is ready for the snow! Love her mix of patterned papers and baker's twine - making this such a cozy greeting! She used "Cool Cats" to create this darling card.

Tifany DeGough
Aren't these rosette ornaments absolutely beautiful!? I love the versatility Tifany has shown by cutting out "Prancer" and popping him up on a circular base. Easy, practical, and pretty!!

Stephanie Washburn
This has got to be one of my favorite cards from Stephanie - ever! Her creative use of a clear acetate to create a fence in front of the doggie left me saying "HOW cool!!" She used "Pawprints on our Hearts" for the pup and sentiment and "Honeycomb" to create the look of chicken wire.

Samantha Casey
What a sweet pairing! Samantha showcased the mix-and-match options that I built into both the "Cool Cats" and "Pawprints on our Hearts" sets. Both the puppy and larger cat are roughly the same size, so many of the elements (and sentiments) are interchangable. SO many different looks! If you look closely, you'll also notice she used "Flurries" as the backdrop to her snow hill scene. Darling!

Angelica Suarez
Here's my card! I paper pieced these sweet kitties and even made a "sweater" for the larger cat! ;) This was a fun card to create, and I used "Cool Cats" for both the cats and the sentiment. You can see "Mesh" was used as my background. 

I hope you enjoyed tonight's showcase! Be sure to head to each of our designers' blogs, as they may have some additional projects, too!!
