Need a Christmas card idea?

If you are one of those stampers still trying to decide on what to make for your Christmas card this year, here are 4 more ideas for you. If you are a stamper that hasn't decided because you have too many ideas swirling about in your head then you are going to be even more confused after today's posting. Sorry!

The challenge for the sisters this week was to create a Christmas card. I love the variety of cards that each sister shared this week. 

Our first card below was shared by Debbie Naylor.  She used the ever popular dasher stamp set and the can't live without top note die. Be sure to check out her blog for more information to recreate this stunning card.

Our next card is brought to you by Jacque Craig. She used the adorable build a bear dies to create this cute Santa bear card.  A great card for any child in your life or to give to an adult in your child's life.  Remember to check out her blog to get all the details.

Look at the Santa card below!  Isn't it so creative?  Karla Anders shared this card with us this week. I think it's great how she thought "outside the box" to create this card. If you want more details you need to click on over to Karla's blog for all the details.

The card below is share by Rachel Yurkanin. It showcases the Dasher stamp that Debbie used in her card above but look how different it looks using different colors and stamping techniques. Check out her blog for more information about re-creating this card.

We all hope you enjoy this week's cards. Remember to check out the links to everyone's blogs for more information on each of these cards.  Remember to check back next week when we focus on tags. Something we can each use with the upcoming Holidays.  Have a great week and thank you for visiting.

Simply Scrappin kits are FABULOUS!

Welcome to another Fabulous Friday here on our blog!  We appreciate you stopping by each week and hope you are inspired by what you see.  This week we are focusing on the Simply Scrappin' kits that Stampin' Up! offers.  They are truly a great value for $19.95 - you get 8 sheets of textured 12"x12" cardstock (2 sheets of 4 different colors), 6 sheets of color-coordinated Designer Series paper (2 different double-sided patterns) and 6 sheets of  self-adhesive die cuts (3 different sets).  WOW! 

Here is the project this week from Jacque Craig.  She used the Christmas Jingle kit and the Big Shot Top Note die to create this great gift card holder - here is a view of the outside and inside of her project.  Who wouldn't love to receive one of these for the holidays?!  Be sure to stop by her blog and check out the details here.

Rachel Yurkanin used the Petal Party kit to create this fabulous box... but you'll have to stop by her blog to see what's inside!  You can use this link here... you won't be sorry!  It's a great gift idea for any time of year.

And guess who else used the Petal Party kit this week... Karla Anders.  What a great memo board - be sure and check out all the details on her blog here to see how she created it.  Suffice it to say that this project is "green" and not only because of the color of the DSP!!

And last but not least is my contribution.  I used the Sunny Days kit to create this gift set which includes a covered post-it note holder, 3 mini note cards and 4 chocolates covered in DSP.  Please be sure and visit my blog here to see even more projects created with this great kit!

We thank you so much for stopping by on this Black Friday... why not try making some of your gifts this year?  With these Stampin' Up! Simply Scrappin' kits it is so easy. 

Don't forget about the Online Holiday Extravaganza Sale going on through November 30th - there are some fantastic deals to be had!!  Stampin' Up! really put together some great bundles for us this week!

Until next Friday... have a wonderful week!  Debbie, Jacque, Karla and Rachel.

Sweet Seasons and Some Sweet Treats!

Happy Fabulous Friday to you all.  This week, my Sisters in Stamping and I are showcasing the Sweet Seasons stamp set, which can be found in the catalog on page 29.  This sweet little set is great for gift giving and making cute tags.

Here is Karla's creation.  She is giving this cutely-decorated gable box to her neighbor. 
Wish I lived next door!

Check out Karla's blog to learn what's inside of the box!

Here is Debbie's creation.  Love the colors and can think of a bunch of goodies to put in this
great little box-in-a-bag.

Check out Debbie's blog to learn more about how to make one of your own!

Here is Rachel's creation.

Again, this stamp set is so great for gift giving.  I can think of a bunch of "sugared things" that could be wrapped up and given to teachers, co-workers, neighbors, etc.!  Check out Rachel's blog for more!

And finally, here is my Sweet Seasons treat.

I decorated an empty container and filled it with peppermint candies.  Check out my blog for more on how I decorated this container.

At this time of the year I am reminded of how much I have to be thankful for, and we here at Sister's in Stamping, appreciate you coming by, leaving your comments, and hopefully we've been able to inspire you in your crafting!  Have a great weekend, Jacque, Karla, Debbie, and Rachel.
