Simply Adorned!

This week we're showcasing Stampin' Up!'s Simply Adorned jewelry line!  I love this jewelry line because as you'll see below, each piece is a work of art.  You design the piece to be what you want!  And you can create inserts for the charms to match every outfit, every season, and every holiday!  The jewelry is only limited by your own imagination!

Check out my blog to see what is on the reverse side of this charm!

This is Rachel's initial charm.  Head over to her blog to get all the details.

Debbie created this fun Valentine's owl charm.  Be sure to check out her blog for more details and to view an additional sample of a beautiful insert that we made at Leadership last month.

Karla will be taking this week off.  She will be back with us next week.

Thanks for coming to visit, and hopefully we've inspired you to try out the Simply Adorned line if you haven't already!

Have a great weekend, Jacque, Rachel, Debbie and Karla!

Greetings from Nashville, Tennessee!!  We are here for a Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference... unfortunately, Karla Anders experienced a travel nightmare due to the severe weather across the country and was unable to join us.  Karla - we miss you!!!!!

This week we decided to share with you the cards we made to swap with others here at the Conference.  First up is Jacque's card - she featured the Bold Blossom stamp from the Occasions Mini catalog.  Isn't it a fun card?  Please be sure and visit her blog to get all the details.

Last up is my card - I chose the Thanks for Caring stamp set to design my sympathy card.  Please visit my blog for all the information.

Happy New Year!

Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and a fun and safe New Year's celebration!  We here at Sisters In Stamping are ready to get the new year started and thank you for stopping by to see our creations!  This week we are focusing on Valentines Day cards!


According to Hallmark.com, for greeting cards, Valentine's Day is the second most important card-giving holiday, next to Christmas, with about 188 million valentines given worldwide. Their site also reveals that more than half of the United States population celebrates Valentine's Day by purchasing a greeting card.

But none of us BUY greeting cards, do we?!??!  No way, we make them ourselves!!  So here are a few ideas to inspire you!!

Karla made this card and you'll want to check her blog to see the inside of this special Valentine!

Here's Debbie's card with a little note that you can write a special message on a slide back into the card.  Or put a picture of the kids on it and send to the grandparents!!  Check out Debbie's blog for more!

And here is my card, that I'll be sending out to the special people in my life this year!  You can check my blog for the list of supplies that I used to make this card!

Here is Rachel's card.  She used the Love Impressions Rub-on's to make her Valentine.  Check out her blog for more information.


Again, Happy New Year, thanks for stopping by and please be sure to stop by next Friday when we will be showcasing projects using fabric!  Jacque, Debbie, Karla and Rachel
