Hello!
How's the hop been going?
Are you inspired to make something crafty tonight?
Ok, so I totally want to add to your crafty inspiration....
But before I do,
I'd thought I would share my tip of the day.
As I have mentioned in previous posts...
I am a total crafty cheap skate.
I love looking at the various magazines in all their glory, but
$6 for a magazine, YIKES!
Thats a Copic... or 12 sheets of paper...
or... ink pads...
or practically a stamp set with Market Street Stamps.
But, sometimes they have great templates...
Alas, guess what!?!?!
They give them away for free monthly online.
So I decided to use two of the free templates to make
my cards for the Market Street Stamp January Release...
Check out the templates for this month here
Now you've just saved $6.
So now you don't feel so guilty going
over to Market Street and buying the whole release~
Ok enough chatter... here is my good for this release..
Just a little lamp... using the
'Hearts A Plenty' ( MSS-BK-06 )
background stamp.
And a little sentiment from the
'Celebrate Cake' ( MSS-16 )
stamp set.
I love those little pom-poms under the lamp...
Uggg, they look so much better in person!
For this little dress form/kitchen apron form
I used the stamp set
'Celebrate Cake' ( MSS-16 )
I also used one of the tear drop Versa Magic stamp pads...
Be sure to look out for them!
(Market Street Stamps is now carrying some of those little gems!)
I thought this could be a great card for a small 'thank you' for a
dinner party invite.
Basically, I hope it portrays
'Wow, your a super star in the kitchen... thanks for
including me at your amazing dinner'...
So that's the end of my inspiration for this week.
Oh, yeah! I forgot...
Market Street Stamps is giving away stamps...
Here's what to do...
Comment at each stop and your name will be entered to win one of several stamp sets Market Streets Stamps is giving away!

Market Street Stamps Side Note:
I have leant my crafty-ness to a number of companies and without doubt these are some of the nicest stamps I have ever worked with. They are considerably larger then the pictures give them credit for. So, if you want to support a newish stamp company... I couldn't suggest Market Street Stamps more. Give them a try and report back to me!
So adorable!

Ok I think I have to get some of these stamps! I can see my piggy bank being robbed:P! Lovely creations!!
ReplyDeleteoooh those creations are awesome!
ReplyDeletehey just a heads up.. in New Zealand we pay from $10 - $19 for crafting magazines here.... $6 is really really cheap!
And copic pens are about $15 each here in New Zealand.
You are very fortunate to live in a country were everything crafty is so cheap.
Love it. The cards are so creative. Thanks for the link to the templates. TFS and the chance to win.
