Taking Off

 

The Sisters are off this week, come back next Sunday for some fun Christmas gifts!

K.I.S.S. Christmas Cards

 Welcome to our blog. This week our theme is K.I.S.S. (Keep it simple stamper) Christmas cards. We know how busy this time of year is and you may be saying, "I don't have time to do any more. Never mind, making cards!" Well, with these ideas you are sure to be able to accomplish some quick cards by keeping it simple.

The use of designer series paper is always a great option to make simple cards. And Debbie Naylor certainly used it to her advantage for her beautiful cards. Visit her blog for more information on these cards.

Next up we have a fun snowman card that also used some designer series paper to help create a simple card.  Karla Anders used the traditional Christmas colors to make this great card. Head on over to her blog for more details. 

And lastly, we have a quick card made by Rachel Yurkanin that uses one stamp set, two colors of ink and two colors of cardstock. It really comes together quite quickly. Be certain to visit her blog for more details.

Hope you feel inspired to create some K.I.S.S cards for this Christmas season. Enjoy each day and each event in the next coming weeks. 

Thanks for visiting. See you next week.

Sailing Home Sunday

Hello and welcome! A couple of weeks ago we asked for feedback from our loyal readers and one of the suggestions was for all 3 of us to use the same stamp set... it took us some time and more than a couple of e-mails to agree on the set. We settled on Sailing Home (#149457, $24.00) here are the projects we came up with-

Karla is up first and she used both the set and the matching dies to make her card. Go to her blog to see more pictures.

 Next is Rachel and her nautical card, love how the addition of the 2 white stripes make the card pop! Here is her post for today.

Last up is Debbie's card set, she used the Harvest Meadow DSP for the background, the colors go so well together! Hop on 

over to her blog.

That's it for us this week!

Thinking of You

This week with the Sisters in Stamping we are sharing cards made using a Thinking of You theme.

You won't be caught off-guard and have to scramble at the last minute.

First up, we have Debbie Naylor's beautiful set of cards. These would make a great gift set. You can even make several sets to give to several people. Hop on over to Debbie's blog to see more details.

Next up, we have a great cards using circles made by Karla Anders. This would also be a good card to make a set using coordinating colors to give as a gift. Visit Karla's blog for more details on her card.

Lastly, we have Rachel Yurkanin's thinking of you card. This one is probably one you won't want to make multiples of, but head on over to her blog to see why she made this particular card.
