Guest Designer :: Jen Wills

Happy Friday!

 

We are very excited to have Jen back today as our November Guest Designer! Check out what she has created for us!

 

 

 

Hi there! I'm excited to be back with my second showing as Guest Designer here at Market Street Stamps! I wanted to make some Christmas cards but when I looked through my MSS collection it turned out I only had one Christmas set, Prancer, which I last used here. I decided that this was a good opportunity to "stretch my stamps". I'd use the sentiment from Prancer but I'd try and use non-Chrismas images to make the rest my cards.

For my first card I used the outline triangles from Nuts About Nature. I stamped them onto patterned paper, fussy cut them and made a little forest. The border along the bottom is from Great Big Greetings and the star is from Blast Off (now retired).

For my second card I went for a simple, graphic design using the chevron from Riding By in red and greens. A one layer card perfect for mailing! Isn't it fabulous how versatile these stamps are?

Happy November!

 

We're here today with a very special post from our new Guest Designer,

Jen Wills!

 

 

Hi there! My name is Jen Wills and I am so excited to be the November Guest Designer for Market Street Stamps! I live in Bermuda with my hubby, Luis, and our dog, Atticus. I've been blogging at JENerally Speaking since December 2010 and love being a part of this crafty community.

 

I discovered Market Street Stamps about a year ago and have built up quite a collection of their stamps. For my cards today I was inspired by the card that won me the GD position to begin with, specifically by the triangles and the rainbow colours.
 

 

On this first card I used the triangles from Nuts About Nature. This time I used the open triangle, stamped it on patterned paper, fussy cut and created a flower! I used Bit of Burlap to give the card base some texture (this really is a must have stamp!) and a sentiment from Great Big Greetings which is one of my favourite recent releases.
 

On this second card I created a rainbow of sentiments (from Great Big Greetings) and paired them with the adorable phone from Teacher Notes. I also used the Candy Stripe background to add a little pizzazz!

 

Hope you've enjoyed my cards today and I'll be back on November 30th with some more!
