DESIGN TEAM SAMPLES

Amy Kolling: Amy's gorgeous "simply elegant" style makes its way to her third card which pairs beautiful embossing with subtle pattern, allowing the sentiment to take center stage.


Brenda Weaver: Pretty in pink, and a dash of shabby chic, Brenda's card is absolutely perfect for a girlfriend or relative going through a hard time.



DoBea Alberts: DoBea used the flourish in this set as a design element, and it's just so perfect! I love the ruffle she created to offset the brown, too!

Samantha Casey: Samantha masked areas of the sentiment to make a truly unique card. And I know I'm not the only one who think a little caffeine really is a 'blessing in disguise'! hehe Check out the flourish she used for steam! So clever!

Stephanie Muzzulin: Stephanie created this gorgeous mini which could also serve as a journal. I just love adding big, bold sentiments like this to my art journals - they are a great reminder whenever I'm having a tough day.



Stephanie Washburn: How awesome is this? Create your own customized herringbone pattern using Candy Stripe!! Stephanie will show you how to get this fun look on her blog! 


Tifany DeGough:  Tifany's serene card looks lovely with a wash of color on the hydrangeas from Comforting Florals. The sentiment is from our new Simple Salutations set  and the background is the new Candy Stripe background - available tomorrow at 7 pm CDT!

DESIGN TEAM SAMPLES
Be sure to visit each blog for a chance to win this set!
You might even spy some additional *bonus* inspiration along the way!

 Amy Kolling: Not one, but TWO gorgeous notecards combining Daily Grind and Simple Salutations! I adore the wrapped twine accented by a matching button.

Brenda Weaver: Such a sweet, sweet baby card. The font I used for this set is very versatile - it's both casual but has a script feel at the same time. It's definitely one of our favorites around Market Street Stamps.




DoBea Alberts: I love DoBea's fun, bright color scheme and the addition of the sentiment on the side. This card could be left blank and the sentiment added later depending on the occasion to make it even more versatile.

 Julie Day: Such an elegant card, I absolutely adore the paper piercing Julie created all the way around her card for an interesting, subtle border.

 Samantha Casey: Nothing says "Happy Birthday" like joyful balloons held together with alternating colors of pretty twine! Samantha kept her base black, and these balloons really lent a giant pop of color and contrast nicely together.
 Stephanie Muzzulin: I love the burlap peeking through from behind Stephanie's top panel - it gives it such a nice texture and inviting feel. Map images are great elements to add to any "Miss You" card.

Stephanie Washburn: Easy, breezy, beautiful. Steph shows us how to layer a simple die-cut element and make it the focal point of this stylish greeting. 


***********************
Love, love, love what our Design Team has created for this release, and I hope you're enjoying them too! Don't forget to enter by Wednesday night to win and I'll see you back here again tomorrow - same place, same time!

March Sneak Peek :: Daily Grind

...COFFEE...
Café Kaffe Caffé  
Koffie Kaffee
No matter where you're from or how you spell it - one thing is for sure: Coffee is a Universal conversation starter. Whether you're a half-caf-grinder, bold-brew-barista, casual sipper, or a full blown java junkie, you share something in common with millions of other people all over the world! And if you don't drink it, chances are, someone you know and adore does. 


Jonesin' for java and 50's Diners were what inspired me for March, and I think you'll absolutely LOVE the cards our designers created as well!


We're also excited to bring in two sets this month that were requested by two of our Neighbors! You'll see those later this week. 

If this is your first time joining us for a release, let me give you a quick run down on how it works:

  • We'll show you Sneak Peek images from our sets Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Sneak peeks are scheduled for 7 pm CDT.
  • On Thursday, our sets will be revealed and all the sets will go on sale at 7 pm Central Time. 
  • For ONE WHOLE WEEK after that, new sets are 15% off individually or 25% off if you buy that month's bundle (all sets in the release).
GIVEAWAY DETAILS
Each month, we give away one of each set showcased to one LUCKY commenter!
  • Earn ONE entry for each comment you leave across ALL of our designers' blogs tonight. {p.s. if, for any reason, a designer does not have a new release post up don't worry!! Winners will be chosen only amongst posts that are published. :)}

You might even spy some additional *bonus* inspiration along the way! 

 Amy Kolling: Amy's black and white vision came together with a classic, cool idea to utilize more than just a couple stamps from this set at a time!

Brenda Weaver: The steam can be used interchangeably or left off completely! It's up to you! And I love the way Brenda layered this eclectic card to highlight the takeout cup!

 Jen del Muro: Jen's staggered elements look like pure joy unfolding on the front of her card. Her shading on the coffee cup is so beautiful and realistic!

 Julie Day: Julie's out-of-the-box project had me racking my brain for ANY upcoming occasion I could recreate these sweet favors for! I will definitely be stashing away this idea for upcoming swaps and stocking stuffers!

 Samantha Casey: What's sweeter than a milkshake? Samantha's card!! Inspired by the delicious Espresso Milkshakes at my favorite local coffee shop, I wanted to illustrate an image for the *sweet-cream* drinkers. Samantha's card showcases that vision perfectly! (If you're ever in Green Bay, Kavarna serves the BEST vegetarian yummies and coffee drinks in town, I highly recommend a visit!)

 Michele Gross: I love how it feels like a mad tea party with Michele's stacked cups! I think we've all had a three-cup kinda day at some point or another, right?

 Stephanie Muzzulin: Simply stated, and so balanced, Stephanie's card is the perfect pick-me-up!

Stephanie Washburn: Create your own background with the fun border strip included in this set! Steph turns a panel into a canvas with this pop of purple in the corner.
