Sister Stamps Release #23 - Sakura-chan

It's the last post of this release and today I'm featuring  Sakura-chan.  For this card, I chose to cut out a jar from an America Crafts Dear Lizzy DP and use coordinating papers for the background. The sentiment is from Verve and I added some faux stitching around the perimeter. I added some Baker's Twine and a little decorative flower to the jar.

Sister Stamps Release #23 - Momotaro

Hello Friends!  I'm back with Momotaro today and here's my project. I saw a tutorial for this on Heather Klump's blog and thought it might be cool to create a kind of diaper/tote bag.  It's a good size bag and it would be fun to fill with all sorts of baby gifts.  I used a coordinating DP, added a sentiment from Island Scrapbooking and added ribbon handles and a sweet decorative rattle. This is such an adorable stamp!

Here's a close-up of Momotaro

Sister Stamps Release #23 - Sakura Set

Are you ready for another Sister Stamps release?  It's another fun one and today I'm featuring the Sakura Set. There are so many images in this set and the possibilities are endless. I believe this set was created to coordinate with the Sakura-chan and Momotaro stamps, however it's great on its own.  I created a shaker card and stamped a few different sizes of the solid sakura in the background. Some of the images were stamped with a second generation of ink to give a varied effect. I stamped and cut out one of the images and popped it up on top of the frame. I added gold Stickles and  a gold bead to finish it off.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches.

Sister Stamps Release #22 - Wedding

Today I'm featuring Sister Stamps' new Wedding image and I love the details of this stamp! Even with all the details, it was easy to color because I kept most of the bride white. I used one of my favorite washi papers as the background along with some matte gold cardstock. The "love" sentiment is a laser cut from Island Scrapbooking. 

The new stamps are available tomorrow, April 15 so check out the official Sister Stamps blog to find out where you can purchase them.

Sister Stamps Release #22 - Graduate

It's that time of the month again and Sister Stamps has some special images just for you! Graduation is just around the corner so today, I'm featuring the graduate! I love this little one who represents our culture and tradition of lei giving here in Hawaii. I remember my high school graduation and the mountain of leis I received just like this image. They were piled so high, you could barely see my face among all the beautiful flowers!

I created a modified lei to give kids for preschool or elementary school graduations. (My son was sleeping when I took this photo so my husband was my model).  I took a plastic luggage tag holder and made a tag using this image. I slipped the colored image into the plastic sleeve and got a lanyard with both a clip and cording.  I attached the lanyard to the tag with the snap closure and attached a  snack to the lei using the clip. I used taro chips here but you could use any snack size packaged goodie. The cording makes this gift into a lei and this project can be done pretty quickly and inexpensively!

Here's a close-up of the adorable graduate!

Be sure to check out the others and their great projects and I'll be back tomorrow with more!

Sister Stamps Release #21 - Kimie

It's day 3 of Sister Stamps release #21 and here's my shaker card featuring Kimie! How sweet is she with the three bunnies? Although this stamp is great for Easter, I think it can work for other occasions as well.  I need a card for an upcoming birthday so this is what I came up with.  I used PTI's "fabulous frames" stamps and dies and the new Stampin' Up "arrows" embossing folder (love it!).

Thanks for stopping by and the stamps for this release will be available tomorrow! Be sure to check out the other designers below:

Sister Stamps Release #21 - Jade

Its'a day 2 of Sister Stamps release and I'm featuring another cute bunny today called Jade! I decided to embellish some chevron packaging and use new watercolor designer paper from Stampin' Up.  I layered banners, punched out chevrons and used a rub-on for the sentiment.  Really doesn't get much easier than this!
