Hi everyone!  It's Amy from Stamp-n-Paradise here and I have a fun, bright card for you using one of my favorite techniques:  Emboss Resist.  I absolutely love this technique!!  I'll take you through my steps at achieving this look.

Here is a photo of supplies you will need along with your heat tool.

You can start by using an embossing buddy to help remove any static from your cardstock but I did not use mine here.  Ink up your image of choice with Versamark and begin stamping your pattern.  It will be a bit hard to see.  Once you are finished stamping, sprinkle on white embossing powder over entire image and tape off the excess.  Heat image.  Here is what mine looks like just before embossing:

Now comes the fun part!  You get to be an artist!  I've used Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, and Barn Door Distress Inks to sponge on the ink working in a circular motion starting OFF your paper and working ONTO your paper.  This is important and will give you better blending results.  Here is Mustard Seed first.

Then Spiced Marmalade.

And finally Barn Door.

You just keep adding ink until you like the color.  You can make it darker or lighter just depends on what you like.  The final step is to use a paper towel to buff over the embossed images.  The embossed images will "resist" the sponged ink you've applied and really pop off the paper!!!

I also wanted to mention that I did use the "rock 'n roll" technique for stamping my sun.  I simply started by inking up with Mustard Seed first and then rolling the stamp in the Orange Marmalade. 

Well, that's it for me today.  I hope you give this a try if you have any Distress Inks in your stash.  They are so much fun to work with!

God Gives Us What We Need

Good Morning sweet friends!

Did you get any crafting in this weekend?

Tifany has a lovely home decor piece to share with you today, and it's absolutely beautiful.

Take a peek below...

What I love SO much about her framed art is that she used a few different sets to create her signature style! I love how she pairs bold colors with black or white to really make the design POP off the page.

Wouldn't this be a wonderful little reminder to place in your office or even in your entry way - the last place you see on your way out, and the first thing you see when you walk in?

Here are links to the stamps Tifany used in her project today:

Supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill (Orange Peel - Black); Georgia Pacific (White);
Stamps: Market Street Stamps (Houndstooth, Paisley, Comforting Florals);
Ink: Memento (Pear Tart); Ranger (Archival - Black);
Other: (Frame);
Tools: Fiskars (Trimmer, Scissors, Upper Crest Border Punch);

Be sure to visit Tifany's blog to see more! 

Happy Monday - new week, fresh start - ENJOY today!

Guest Designer :: Jacquie Peifer

Hey there Market Street friends!!  How goes it this FABULOUS Friday?!  

Jacquie Peifer , or Javablustamper as most of you may know me, here to share with you!  I am SO excited to be your Guest Designer for March!  Seriously, an honor!!  So, to start off the month I have a krafty kreation to share.  I recently found some PRE-made kraft cards and envelopes at my local craft store. They also happened to have a MATCHING pack of scrap patterned paper!  How COOL was that?  I am all about the "matchy-matchy" stuff!  So, I was set!  I just can't seem to stop creating with them; I LOVE kraft!  That and my Market street Stamps!  Here is what I came up with, when I put my two loves together!

This COMPUTER CUTIE stamp set is AWESOME!!  It is PERFECT for all types of occasions!!   I especially like how the distressed Twinery Twine, ties it all together too!  I used the Maraschino Twinery Twine to match my Copic colors!  I even used a red Twinklette marker to add to that "matchy" thing!!  You can find MORE details on my blog, Javablustamper.  Can't wait to visit with you again!!  Until next time, have a WONDERFUL day!
