Home Decor Pieces for the Holidays

Welcome to another Fabulous Friday here at Sisters in Stamping.  This week we are focusing on the decor blocks found in both the 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog and the Decor Catalog.  Have you thought to yourself, they look neat but what can I do with them?  Well, we have a few projects to get those creative juices flowing.

First up, we have Debbie Naylor's adorable little gingerbread house.  Be sure to go over to her blog to get all the details on how to re-create it.



Next we have Rachel Yurkanin's sparkling, glistening snow tower. Remember to go over to her blog for more information.


Better late than never?!?  I forgot that I had lent my Big Shot to a friend and went to do my letters and leaves for my fall blocks and found I couldn't make them without my Big Shot!!  Check out my blog for details on the block decorations.  My first holiday decor of the season!



Karla Anders is taking the week off due to computer issues.  Hope she'll be able to join us again next week. 

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to stop in next Friday too.

Have a wonderful week.

Thanksgiving Cards!

In this day and age when most of us have so much to be thankful for, it's good to take the time to send out Thanksgiving cards to your friends and family letting them know that you are thankful for them!  With that thought in mind, we decided to showcase Thanksgiving cards!


Karla made this beautiful Thanksgiving card using non-traditional colors.  Check out Karla's blog for more information on this beautiful card.


 I used the same stamp set that Karla did, but you can see how the use of color and layout really changes the look of the set!  I miss the fall colors living here in Hawaii where everything is pretty much the same year round, so I just had to use these colors in my card.  Check out my blog for a list of supplies used.

Debbie used the Falling Leaves stamp set to create her card this week. Visit her blog to get the full scoop.


Rachel used the Paisley Print and Grateful Greetings stamp sets for her Thanksgiving card.  Head over to her blog for complete details.

We hope you have a great weekend and that you will check back with us next Friday!
Jacque, Karla, Debbie and Rachel!

I'm taking this week off (again)! I still have quite a few boxes to go through and unpack and to top it off my computer died on Sunday--I know, it's like it knows that this would be a really bad time to do it....that computer never liked me anyway! Stay tuned for next week, we will be thinking Thankful thoughts.

Until then,
Karla, Rachel, Debbie & Jacque
