Hi! My name is Jennifer Roach and I'm the November guest designer here at Market Street Stamps. I'm thrilled to share the three projects I created using the following stamps: Celebrate Cake set, Argyle background and Comfort Food.

Let's start with a Christmas card. I created the background by heat embossing the background with clear embossing powder (on water colour paper). Then I added red and green distress stains (Fired Brick and Forest Moss) to tint the background. I used some dyed seam binding and distressed patterned papers from Authentique to finish off my vintage inspired card.



Supplies (Christmas card):
Stamps:  Argyle backgrounder from Market Street Stamps
Ink:  Versamark ink (for embossing), Distress Stain (Fired Brick and
Forest Moss)
Papers: Watercolour paper, Authenique Christmas papers
Accessories: Darice snowflake, button, twine, Making Memories tag,
Fiskars border punch, seam binding (dyed with spray ink)

Next up we have a fun card I created with the Comfort Food set. It's difficult to see from the photo but I added some Crystal Effects to the pot which gives it a nice shine and makes it look like stainless
steel. I used some older Cosmo Cricket papers which have a cooking theme. And how cute it is that you can add a smiley face to the stamps in this set?



Supplies (Souper card):
Stamps:  Comfort Food set from Market Street Stamps
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black
Papers: Cosmo Cricket, Neenah cardstock, Basic Grey
Accessories:  Twil ribbon, Copic markers

Today actually happens to be my sixth wedding anniversary so I was inspired to create a wedding card using the Celebrate Cake set. I added some Liquid pearls to the image and made my own topper with some Prima flowers and pearls. I was cleaning out my scrap paper bin and found these beautiful SEI papers that were the starting point for my colour palette.



Supplies (Wedding cake card):
Stamps:  Celebrate Cake set from Market Street Stamps
Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa
Papers:  SEI, Prism Simply Smooth cardstock
Accessories:  Michaels ribbon, Fiskars border punches, Prima pearls
and flowers, Liquid Pearls, Copic markers

Thank you so much to Market Street Stamps for chosing me to be the Guest Designer this month and I hope you enjoyed my creations.
