Thank You, Marika!
Throughout the month of July, we’ve invited some fabulous guest designers to visit here on our blog. They are sure to inspire us all to get a jumpstart on our Christmas creations. Join us over the next several weeks as these wonderful guests feature our classic Christmas stamps and dies. And just when your Christmas crafting mojo is kicking in, we will be here in August to share with you all of our NEW Christmas products!
It’s been a marvelous week with Marika, wouldn’t you agree?! Marika, thank you so very much for sharing your awesome card designs and leaving us itching to grab our Christmas stamps and dies!
For her last creation, Marika took artistic license and created a scene around the stamps from our transparent set, 30-260 On the Town.
It’s amazing what can be created with simple sketching, stamping, and watercolors.

OMG what an awesome card. How quickly can you make a clear stamp for Marika’s sketched street scene???? Her sketch to accompany the two stamp sets is brilliant and I MUST have a stamp for it! I follow Marika’s blog every day. Her work is awesome!
Carol, my jaw hit the door when reading your suggestion.. a stamp from my card…? So glad that you like it though! It means a world to me to be a part of this amazingly supportive community of crafters. Thanks for following and your lovely, lovely words!
I’m totally serious. You are such a talented artist, and I see from all the comments here that I’m not the only one who thinks so. I read your blog every day. Reach for the stars, Marika. You are such a talented artist and a designer in the making. I’ll be looking for your street scene sketch to become a stamp, and will be the first to buy it, unless others here beat me to it!
Wow, I wish I could draw. Marika is so talented. But thank you for the inspiration.
Thank you so much!
Marika is definitely a keeper. Her work is meticulous and jawdropping gorgeous. She’s an amazing artist and her work is completely gorgeous.
Coni, you’re so kind! Thank you!

Wow! This is gorgeous. Your sketching is really beautiful. Thanks for a great week.
OMG! Marika has such a great work on creating a scene, I have never thought of this stamp being used like that. Thank you for sharing this beautiful work and tutorial
OMG!!! This scene is so gorgeous. But for us that cannot draw a straight line even with a ruler, how about stamps to recreate this wonderful scene? Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us.
