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!

Martinis and Roses

Hey there, it's Tracy back sharing another card I made with you. This time, using some of those fabulous background stamps that Market Street sells.


For my card, I used this week's sketch over on Card Patterns. I stamped the Too Many Martinis background onto white cardstock using PTI Pure Poppy ink. Then cut my panels out, rounded the corners, and mounted on black cardstock for a little pop.



The rest of my card is pretty simple. I crimped a small piece of vellum to go along with the sketch and still allow you to view that fabulous background stamp. I used my Copic Spica red glitter pen to add some shimmer to a few of the filled-in circles in the background image. Then finished everything off with a big red fabric flower.
