Sister Stamps Release #27 - Kaleo

Welcome to the first Sister Stamps release of the year!  I'm so excited to share the local Hawaii images this month which are super cute and versatile.  First up is Kaleo with his ukulele.  I did some layering with velum and used an old Sizzix palm tree die as the image behind the velum.  I felt like Kaleo needed a pal so I added a canine sticker and the sentiment is a laser cut from Island Scrapbooking.

Sister Stamps Release #26 - Mistuyo

I'm back with the next and final image for this release and this one is called Mistuyo.  She comes with her friend the crane and they're so cute together.  I paired the images up with a perfect sentiment from Papertrey Ink and finished the card with some sequins.  The stamps from this release will be available tomorrow, November 1st.

Thanks for stopping by and check out the other designers for more great inspiration!

Sister Stamps Release #26 - Ai

Welcome to Sister Stamps' release #26! I'm excited to feature one of two new stamps which will be available on November 1.  Here's sweet taiko playing Ai.  I created a little scene using some washi paper for he hill and Stampin' Up's new Confetti Stars Punch for the night sky. The arigato sentiment is a white laser cut from Island Scrapbooking that I colored to match Ai's clothing.  I finished off the card with some thin gold twine and some clear Wink of Stella shimmer on the sentiment.

Be sure to check out the other designers below and I'll be back tomorrow with another new post!

Sister Stamps Release #25 - Po

I'm back with panda #2 and this little one is Po! He's a bashful guy whose curiosity can get get him into a lot of trouble! Lol!  

I stamped the background with a circles image using Versamark ink. Then I used PTI's Phrase Play die and coordinating stamp set with some copper metallic paper. You can't really see the shimmer of the metallic paper but it looks cool in person.

The stamps from this release will be available tomorrow and be sure to heck out the other designers below:

Sister Stamps Release #25 - Ling Ling

It's time for another Sister Stamps release! Get ready for lots of cuteness with Ling Ling and Po!

My card today features Ling Ling!  I played around with some vellum by putting some of the clouds and hills behind and in front of the vellum to give dimension.  Sometimes it can get tricky adhering vellum because of its see-through-ness, but I got around that by securing it to the yellow heart paper only in areas where I could hide the adhesive behind the clouds, panda and hills.

The stamps from this release will be available on September 1 and you can check out the other designers below:

Watercolor Pullout Card

Just stopping by to share a watercolor project that was fun to do! The piece attached to the tassel pulls out (forgot to take a photo) and you can write your personal sentiment there. Played around with some Distress inks and water to get this look.  What I love most about watercoloring is that the water does all the work and you don't have to be perfect or precise. It's just fun to play!

Josh the Graduate

Here's a graduation card I made a few weeks ago for my friend's son.  I couldn't resist using Sister Stamps' "graduate" stamp for this personalized card.  This image is so darn cute and so depicts the stack of leis one receives for this kind of occasion.

Happy 4th of July!
