Sister Stamps Bunny Cards ft Pixie and Dixie

Welcome to Sister Stamps Release #29. This release features adorable little animals that can be used to “peek” over elements on your card. I love how you can position your image in such a unique way. As a side note I’m super honored that Jenny named two of the images after my own two babies, Buster and Peanut!!!  I decided to use the “Pixie” and “Dixie” images and I decided to get creative with some Heidi Swapp Picturesque Project Life Cards to create the "meadow" background.  The elements on the project life cards were perfect as the circle and label details were already on the card.  Love how these cards transformed themselves.  I am also in love with the Mama Elephant word dies, they are the perfect size and font and added the touch I was looking for. Here’s my YouTube video in case you missed it: Hope you all enjoy and join me for my next project tomorrow! Please check out at the amazing projects the other designers made here:

Sister Stamps Vertical Step Card ft Peanut and Bobo

Welcome to Sister Stamps Release #29. This release features adorable little animals that can be used to “peek” over elements on your card. I love how you can position your image in such a unique way. As a side note I’m super honored that Jenny named two of the images after my own two babies, Buster and Peanut!!!  I decided to use the “Peanut” and “Bobo” image and of course I was in a “Halloween” kind of mood, I used elements from the Simple Stories Frankie and Friends paper collection. This step card was easy to make (dimensions below) and I thought it made the perfect backdrop for the “peeking” quality of the stamps.  This card I chose to move it vertically so the peeking animals can look to the side, love the way this came out Here’s my YouTube video in case you missed it: Hope you all enjoy and join me for my next project tomorrow! Step Card Instructions: Cardbase - 5 1/2" x 10 1/2" Score and fold - 1 1/4", 2 1/2"

Sister Stamps Release #29 - Halloween Themed Card Featuring "Buster and Boo Boo"

Welcome to Sister Stamps Release #29. This release features adorable little animals that can be used to “peek” over elements on your card. I love how you can position your image in such a unique way. As a side note I’m super honored that Jenny named two of the images after my own two babies, Buster and Peanut!!!  Having recently moved and in between places, I didn’t have my whole craft arsenal with me, I am so pleasantly surprised at what I was able to come up with just a paper trimmer, patterned paper and adhesive (AND the stamps of course!) I decided to use the “Buster” and “Boo Boo” image and of course I was in a “Halloween” kind of mood, I used elements from the Simple Stories Frankie and Friends paper collection. This step card was easy to make (dimensions below) and I thought it made the perfect backdrop for the “peeking” quality of the stamps.

Rainbow Ombre Card - Sister Stamps - Release 28 Kyana

Day 3!!!!! I really enjoyed working with these AMAZING stamps, getting me thinkin' about going to the beach!!!  Here is today's share using Kyana!!  I have been really inspired by color lately and wanted to make a bunch of tropical flowers in all sorts of rainbow ombre goodness.  I used some new inks I purchased and i love them, they are the Colorbok Paintbox in the Pastel theme (more like a light neon finish to me but beautiful vibrant colors nonetheless)  if you dont want to invest in tons of inkpads I highly recommend these as you can use them together or pop out individual inks to use just one color - VERY easy to use.  Back to Kyana, loved surrounding her with the flowers I created using the My Favorite Things Tropical Sensations stamp and die set.  The hello die cut is from Mama Elephant.  Hope you enjoy this card, make sure to make the most of this summer and see ya in the next release!!! Giveaway Time We will all be posting on our blogs and YouTube sites 6

Start to Finish - Beachy Shaker Card - Sister Stamps - Release 28 Aulii

We've made it to day two and I could not wait to color the Sandcastle and the super cute Aulii, she is so precious with her little starfish.  I thought this stamp pairing would be perfect for a a sandy beachy shaker card.  Shaker cards always make me nervous but I'm getting better at it, I used foam sheets to create dimension between the acetate and backing, the space in between provides enough space to pack your shaker with lots of glittery goodness.  I used Pink Paislee Nantucket collection, Mama Elephant Peek a Frame dies, decorative sand and yellow sequins.  Hope you enjoy and see ya tomorrow!

Start to Finish - Card with Puffy Stickers - Sister Stamps - Release 28 Makai and Hiilei

I am super excited to kick off the latest Sister Stamps Release with this summery card featuring Makai and Hiilei, I love how unique these stamps are and the variety of "underwater" projects you can make with this pair.  I could not resist using some of the cute puffy stickers I have been collecting for my planner.  I always like using new products I have been haulin' and put them to good use, I have also used some Heidi Swapp paper from the Mixed Company paper pad, a kelp die from Magnolia Doohickey Volume 1 and the Avery Elle Stay Fresh die set using the "Aloha" sentiment.  Hope you all enjoy my project!!!

Sister Stamp Release #27 "Pua"

Here's my second project of this Sister Stamps Release #27.  This is probably my all time favorite Sister Stamps. This is the lovely Pua and I just LOVE the way this card came out.  Here in this video I share a little stamping trick I learned from Kristina Werner.  To get your dye inks to stamp less splotchy, first stamp on Versamark then the die ink, the Versamark will prime your stamp, and you will have a smoother stamped image.  Hope you all enjoy and please visit the other designers take on this card.

Sister Stamps Release #27 - "Kaleo"

Here's my first project of this Sister Stamps Release #27.  I just love this image so much and I CANNOT wait to share the next image in this release, actually both the stamps would go so well together for so many occasions.  But back to Kaleo, I wanted to kick start this card by using some dies I just recieved, I used the Magnolia Doohickey dies volume 4.  I love making the background for this card and layering up all the different pieces.  You can watch my Youtube video here: and here's my card: Please check out all the other designers blogs for their take on this stamp: Jenny - http://sisterstamps.blogspot.com/ Jenny's You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/user/crazyforpaper Eva:   http://craftingthisandthat.blogspot.com/ Debi:   http://craftybuzz.blogspot.com/ Linda:   http://simpleandsassycreations.blogspot.com/ Linda's You Tube:   https://www.youtube.com/user/Lfundoo
