Fun and Fabulous Techniques

  Happy Friday and thanks for stopping by today!  This week we are featuring a few fun and fabulous techniques you can use with your Stampin' Up! goodies  to step up your hand-stamped projects and give your creations a WOW factor.  We hope you find inspiration here and give one of these techniques a try this weekend!!

  First up is our guest designer Cindy Blekas with her "marker direct to stamp" technique - using markers on a large image like this allows you to have a variety of colors on a solid image stamp.  For more details about her project, please be sure to visit Cindy's blog post here.

  Next up we have this great grafitti-look birthday card perfect for your favorite Teen designed by Rachel Yurkanin using the "inked texturing" technique.  Make sure you check out her blog here to get all the details on how she created it!

  Guest designer Jennifer Rawlings used both a masking and watercoloring technique for her fantastic masculine card.  Find more information on her project by visiting her blog post here.

  Here is Karla's addition to this week's challenge. She took a technique and tweaked it a bit to make her card. Go to her blog to read up.

  And last but not least is my thank you card featuring the Batik technique - it takes heat embossing to a new level!  Please hop over to my blog post here for instructions on this fun technique.

  Thank you for visiting with us on this Fabulous Friday!  For those of you in the U.S. we hope you have a great Labor Day weekend and for everyone else, enjoy your weekend as well!!

Trick or Treat, Give me Something Good to Eat

Welcome to another Fabulous Friday here at the Sisters in Stamping.  Challenge this week: Halloween Treat Container.  It is always amazing how different our projects are when we are working with the same theme.  Enjoy recreating this projects for your favorite Trick or Treaters.

This is Jacque Craig's adorable little Fang-tastic container.  That little dracula is so cute he isn't scary at all.  Head over to Jacque's blog for more information on how she created this.

Next up we have Debbie Naylor's spooky spider treat holder.  I don't think it's too spooky though.  Head over to Debbie's blog to see how she made this.

Then we have another spider treat that is oh, so cute.  With stamps like these, who can be afraid of spiders?

This was created by Rachel Yurkanin. Check out her blog to see how she made it.

And Karla had to take this week off from the challenge because of her recent move.  She was hoping to join us but just hasn't located all her stamping goodies just yet. She will be back with us next week.

Next week the challenge is Halloween stamp sets.  Be sure to come back.  Also, if you were one of the winners of the blog candy from last week please email us your mailing address so we can get your goodies off to you.

Have a fabulous day and weekend!
