Ready to Get Framed?

Hello and Welcome to the Sisters in Stamping blog. We are ready to think outside the card. This week we are ready to share some framed stamped art with you. Framed art is a great gift idea, especially for those that have everything. It's personal, it's made with love, and it's sure to be treasured for a long time to come.
 
 
First up we have Karla's framed art. She even took it a step further with thinking outside the card and used something unique for her advent calendar. She didn't use the traditional frame. Head over to her blog for all the details.

 
Next, we have Debbie's framed art. She made an adorable name frame that is all ready to just add a picture of baby. Her punch art certainly adds a lot of "punch" to the finished look. Jump over to Debbie's blog for all the details.

 
And finally, we have Rachel's framed art.  She used a small picture frame to make a personal gift that would be a nice addition to any desk. Want more details? Skip on over to Rachel's blog for all the details. 
 
Thanks for visiting us today.

Have you Heard?

Have you ever wanted a stamp that didn't exists? This Summer Stampin' Up! introduced a new product called Undefined, now it's possible to make your own stamp! The Kit comes with instructions, carving tools, blanks and a few ideas if you're not sure what you want but you'd still like to create something. You can purchase more blanks too if you want to carve more, which trust me you will want because it was so fun to create the first one! The Sisters have a couple of ideas for you today with the Kits that we purchased.

Rachel is up first--

 
Isn't Rachel's Scarecrow the cutest?? You can go to her blog to see what her carved stamp looks like.
 
Thank-you so much for stopping by...hopefully we will see you back here next week for another Fabulous Friday post!

"F" is for Fabulous Friday Fall-themed projects!!

  "Happy Fall!" and thanks for visiting us this week as we share our Fabulous Friday Fall-themed projects.  This is one of my favorite times of the year...the leaves are beginning to turn shades of crushed curry, cajun craze and cherry cobbler and there's a crisp coolness in the air as summer and it's memories begin to fade.  It's a time to pull out warm comfy sweaters, sip hot apple cider and jump in a big pile of leaves.  What are your favorite things about fall?  Let's see how this season inspired our projects this week...

  First up is this great Fall card is from Rachel Yurkanin.  Please be sure and visit her blog to get more information about the two different techniques she used on this card.
 

  And next we have Karla Anders' fabulous Fall project. She used the new Burlap Ribbon to make roses for her wreath. Hop on over to her blog to get all the details.


   Last up is my Fall scrapbook page that I created with the My Digital Studio digital design software.  We live very close to the beautiful Blue Ridge parkway in Central Virginia and these photos are from a family hike and picnic last weekend.  For more information about my project please check out my blog here.


  Thanks so much for stopping by - we hope you have a fabulous weekend!  Be sure to come back again next week when we showcase the fun new Stampin' Up! Designer Washi tape assortments.

Clearly it's all about Stamps

Welcome to another Fabulous Friday challenge here at the Sisters in Stamping blog. We are so glad you joined us this week and know you will be inspired by some great cards using the completely clear, Photopolymer stamp sets that are now being offered by Stampin' Up! If you haven't tried these yet, what are you waiting for?  They are great to stamp with, have great images, and you can see where you stamp.  Ask your demonstrator to show you these sets because you will want to get some for your own stamp collection.


 
The above file folder card was made by Debbie Naylor. She used the Another Thank You Photopolymer Set. Want to know how she made the file folder? Head over to her blog for details.

 
Our next card was made Karla Anders. She used the Designer Typeset Photopolymer Set which has lots of arrows. Did you know arrows are a hot trend right now? More information can be found on Karla's blog.
 

And the final card was made by Rachel Yurkanin. She used the Settin' Sail Photopolymer Set that is great for masculine cards. Want to know how she made it? Head over to her blog for complete details.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have been "clearly" inspired with our cards.
