A Little Heat in August; Heat Embossing That Is

 Hello there,

Thanks for stopping in today to visit the Sisters in Stamping.  This week we are sharing with you projects that are heat embossing. You know stamp in versamark, add powder to the top and then heat set to make it nice and shiny?  Heat embossing is always a wow and can make projects look so elegant.

First up,we have Cindy Blekas' card. Who wouldn't love a latte card? This would even be good to add a nice little gift card too. Visit Cindy's blog for more information.

Then we have a card that uses a heat emboss technique from Rachel Yurkanin. If you want to know how to do it, you will need to visit her blog for details.

Jennifer Rawlings decided to take on two different embossing methods - heat embossing and additional texture by applying embossing paste with a stencil.  Check out her blog to learn more!

Thanks for stopping. We hope you are inspired to get out your heat tool and embossing powder to have some creative fun time.

Heading Back to School

Here we go...starting another school year!  

Backpacks and lunchboxes need to be filled with encouraging words throughout the year, but especially those first few days to make sure everyone stays focused and headed in the right direction.  And this isn't just necessary for the kids - no way!  Parents, teachers, administrators, aids, etc. all need a little encouragement!  Today the SIS designers are sharing projects they like to share at the beginning of the school year.  Let's see what they've created!

  First up, here are three projects from our very special guest designer, Cindy Blekas.  She made these for her nieces and nephew and designed them with each of their school colors!  I love how personalized these are!  Stop over to Cindy's blog here to learn more.

  Jennifer Rawlings made this sweet flying little piggy card to encourage her little ones to soar high and reach the stars!  Take another look and get all her project details by visiting Jennifer's blog here.

Rachel Yurkanin made this card that's great to give the teacher or for the teacher to give to her students. More details are on her blog, visit it here.

  Debbie Naylor altered a small notebook which is perfect for any student to keep track of their homework assignments.  Be sure to hop over to Debbie's blog post here to see how she created it.

  Thank you so much for visiting with us today!  We hope to have encouraged you to create something special for those heading back to school.  Feel free to share with us what you're creating.  We love to hear from you!
