Under The Sea Birthday :: Samantha Casey

Good Morning Stampers! Angelica here today and I'm sharing a beautiful card by Samantha and a change on our team. As most of you know, Samantha has been on our team since DAY 1. Since before we even had a team, and she has gone on to illustrate some incredibly gorgeous sets, including "Home Sweet Home" which is my personal favorite. ;) However, what you might not know about Samantha is that she is an incredibly creative spirit, but also very dedicated in her professional life, and has accepted an exciting new job opportunity and will be focusing on her new role.

Few people can be as genuine as Samantha. I first met her through the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenges in 2009. She played along a few weeks in a row, and I told my mom Kathy that we just had to ask her if she'd join the team. She said yes, and the rest, as they say, is history. I had no idea what a genuinely sweet soul we had approached until I got to know her more. Then, when we met in person at CHA in 2010, I knew Sam was someone who would continue to surprise us and did she ever! She became known in our Peachy Keen Team as our "Queen of Scenes".

Samantha brings joy, whimsy, and some dang good X-Acto skills to each project she creates. I've watched her become more confident, more dynamic, yet still remain true to her own style, and I find that incredibly inspiring. We will miss you, Sam, and I can't thank you enough for the years of design and talent you've provided not only Market Street Stamps, but Peachy Keen Stamps as well. Please don't be a stranger!

Now, head on over to Samantha's blog and check out this GORGEOUS party card she created using some of our Sea Creatures!!

Have a fabulous Thursday, everyone!!

Inspiration Week :: Scor-Pal & Market Street Stamps :: Day 5

Good Morning Everyone,

 HAPPY FRIDAY!

I can't believe we're already wrapping up our last day of Scor-Pal and Market Street Stamps inspiration. I think both teams outdid themselves and created wonderful projects that you could use for so many occasions!

Today's projects are from

Tifany & Samantha!

After you visit us here today, don't forget to stop by the 

SCOR-PAL Blog

to see what their team has for you today!

Tifany DeGough
I love how the space between the lines varies in the bottom corner. Tifany creased into her cards using both the 1/4" and 1/8" increments on the Scor-Buddy and it created both a place to ground her sentiment and texture! She used the stars from Blast Off and a sentiment from Simple Salutations to create her focal point.

 

Samantha Casey

Samantha really put her Scor-Buddy to good use! She created such a fun notecard ensemble, complete with a box to hold the cards in. The stamps are from the fabulous Riding By set (illustrated by her)! 

Aren't they awesome? Don't forget to check out all the inspiration from this week on our blog!

Next week, we have a fun little giveaway that starts SUNDAY in honor of EARTH DAY so don't miss it!

Have a wonderful weekend, guys!

Bloom Where You Are Planted

Hey everyone, Samantha here... again!! I have another card to share with everyone today using Market Street Stamps. This card is was sort of an experiment, but I am super happy with the results. So the part I experimented with was the tree. I used the Of The Same Tree stamp set for the tree. I inked the top of the tree stamp with two different shades of green in random spots, then stamped it. I then re-inked the stamp and lined it up with the previously stamped image, then stamped on top of it. I repeated this a couple more times to create layers of color on the tree. I did the same technique with the trunk of the tree too, I just used brown ink. After all the pieces were inked, I cut out the top of the tree then attached it to the trunk. I used the Sure Miss You stamp set for the face. The sentiment is from the Homegrown stamp set. The background is the Lost Garden stamp set. I finally accessorized the tree with tiny heart buttons. I hope you enjoy my card!

Out of This World

Hey everyone, Samantha here! I hope you are having a wonderful day. I want to start off this blog post by thanking Angelica for giving me another opportunity to be apart of the Market Street Stampsdesign team! It is beyond words how happy I am to continue being apart of such a wonderful team filled with brilliant designers. I love the sense of community and friendship you build with people through blogs and message boards. It allows you to have endless amounts of inspiration right at your fingertips. I am always amazed and in awe of the talent, creativity, and individual styles all crafters have! I am fortunate to know Angelica for over a year now. She is one of the nicest, positive, and hard working people I have the honor of knowing. What I enjoy the most about Angelica's stamp designs is the versatility. She has a very eclectic style, which allows her stamps to appeal to a broad audience. I love to incorporate all the different styles in my projects! Her stamps always have a way of making me smile, and they are so much fun to use. I am so happy to be able to share more creations using Market Street Stamps products.

I have created a card to show you today using Market Street Stamps. This card was particularly fun, because I decided to use some bright florescent colors. I mean come on its a robot in space, it needs some brightness. I used all of different florescent colored Copic Markers to color the robot and the rocket ship. I used the Robo Star stamp set for the robot, and Blast Off of the rocket ship. Any of the sentiments on the Blast Off stamp set would coordinate perfectly with this card. I used the Too Many Martinis background stamp for the sky, and Lost Garden background stamp for the moon. For both of the background stamps, I stamped them with clear ink, sprinkled clear embossing powder, then heat set it. I used different shades of Memento ink to create texture. I hope you enjoy my card! I cant wait to share another one with you tomorrow!

Announcing a new Senior DT Member!

Hi Everyone! Two Senior DT Announcements in one week! Phew! Well, this is our last Senior DT announcement until the FULL DT reveal next week. I hope you are ready - there are going to be some MAY-JAH (that was my Brit accent, needs work, huh?) prizes to be won and some fun surprises sprinkled throughout the day!

So, without further ado, the newest addition to our Senior DT is...

Samantha Casey! 

Samantha, like DoBea, was a design team member before we even had a Design Team! I am so fortunate to work with her and her creative mind both at Peachy Keen Stamps and here at Market Street Stamps. She is a master with her X-acto knife and I think the general consensus is that we'd all love to spend just one day in her mind! Not to mention she is sweet as pie and I had the pleasure of meeting her and her mama last year! Here are 3 of my FAVORITE projects  that Sam has created for Market Street (trust me, it was hard to choose just three)! 

Isn't this "Gone Campin'" card just dreamy? I love how she creates such beautiful scenes! 

Her cards are truly 'paper art'!

I had a good giggle when I saw how she made "Computer Cutie" hold a coffee cup. Just like a true computer geek would! They don't call it the "Java" platform for nothin', folks!

This card was heavily accessorized by Sam and her crafty knife skills! I adore how she turned "Robo Love" and "Robo Star" into a football player and cheerleader! 

I'm telling ya - SUPER hard to choose just three cards - especially when you take a peek at this post where she created a "Follow Your Heart" card for all 4 seasons! Simply beautiful!! 

Be sure to visit our blog the rest of this week for more Samantha inspirations! And, be sure to visit her blog and leave her a little love! 

Thanks so much for stopping by - see you soon! xo Angelica
