Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentine's Day to you! I know, we are showing hearts two weeks in a row here at the Sisters blog-- but there are just so many things you can do with hearts besides Valentine's we couldn't help ourselves!

 Rachel is up first with her Heart card, could be a Sympathy, Valentine or Thinking of You! I love the little tiny arrows on the Designer Series Paper, don't you? Here is a link to her blog for you.

This is Karla's little Valentine for today's Sister post. She made it using her Simply Scored Tool, quick and easy! Go to her post to see more pictures of her project.

Lastly, we have Debbie's card, again so versatile! Her card could be for a Valentine or a Anniversary. She has detailed information on her card for this week on her blog.

Well that's it for us this week and we hope we have made it clear on the usefulness of Heart stamp sets. Thank-you for joining us!

That Special Valentine

The Sisters blog post is full of mushy love and kisses this week! We are showing off our handmade Valentines for that special person in your life. Did you know that Valentine Cards were originally handmade? The tradition of giving cards started in the 1700's, it wasn't until 200 years later that cards started being mass produced. Well, you know how we feel about that here at the Sisters in Stamping-- No mass produced cards for us!

 

 Debbie is up first with her lovely card. I really like the embossed hearts in the background, here is a link to her post today.

 Next is Rachel, she used a combination of new stamps sets from the Occasions Mini Catalog. You'll have to scoot on over to her blog to find out.

Here is Karla's card for this week, she also used a new set from the Occasions Mini Catalog. If you go to her post you can read all about it.

 

 

 Jennifer decided to go the masculine route, using the Pun Intended hostess stamp set.  Check out all the details on her blog here.

 

Last (but not least) is our guest designer for this week Cindy. Love and hearts, the best way to celebrate! Click here to visit her site.

Send someone you love a old fashioned handmade Valentine this week! 

That is it for us this week, thank-you for visiting,

the Sisters in Stamping,

Debbie, Karla, Rachel, Jennifer and Cindy

Fabulous ways to show some Valentine love

  Happy Friday Saturday!!  It has been a crazy week and we do apologize for being a day late with our Fabulous Friday projects.  This week we are sharing some fun ways to create Valentine's Day favors using your favorite Stampin' Up! products.  Don't worry, you still have one more day to make a few... here's some inspiration for you!!

  Up first are these great little heart boxes perfect for filling with chocolate or some jewelry created by returning Guest Designer Cindy Blekas.  She used the new Love Blossoms DSP stack from the Occasions catalog along with the Gift Box punch board. You can find all the information on her blog post here.

  Check out how Jennifer Rawlings used the Paper Pumpkin kit from January in a different way for her sweet candy favors for her daughter's classmates.  Please visit her blog post here for more details.

  Karla Anders used the Groovy Love stamp set from the Annual catalog for her fun favor - who wouldn't want to receive these heart shaped chocolates?  Be sure to check out her blog post here for more information.

  And last up is my project - I, too, used the Groovy Love stamp set, and created a small card stock pouch to hold a cello bag filled with chocolates.  Please hop over to my blog post here for instructions and details about it.

  As always, thank you for stopping by to visit us here and we hope you have a very sweet and Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Spring cleaning, Stampin' Up! style

  Happy Friday and thanks so much for stopping by for a visit today!  If you're like most of us, you're drowning in scraps from your paper crafting projects... what can you do with all of them, because Heaven knows you CAN'T throw them away!  Well, we're going to show you lots of ways to use up those scraps this week in our Fabulous Friday projects and get some spring cleaning done in a fun way...

  First up we have this lovely card from Jennifer Rawlings, who shows you that even those thin strips of DSP can turn into a gorgeous creation.  Be sure to visit her blog post here for more information on how to reproduce this project.

 Here is Karla's project for this week, she used leftover paper to make a Quilt Block. You can

 click on this link to go to her blog.

  And here is a similar idea using strips of DSP to create a large heart focal point on this great Valentine's Day card from Rachel Yurkanin.  You can find all the details about her project here on her blog post.

 

  Rachel and I must have been thinking along the same lines because I also created a Valentine's Day card, but mine features a punch art floral topiary to use up my card stock scraps.  Please hop over to my blog post here to get more information.


  We hope you are inspired to use up some of the scraps that you have on your crafting table to create a card or two this weekend!  Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous weekend!
