Sister Stamps Day 3 - A New Adventure . . . One To Treasure

Good morning Sisters (& Brothers too)!  Are you ready for Day 3 of the Sister Stamps 2nd release?  Today I'm featuring Yoko.  I decided color her hair brown instead of black.  Yoko's kimono is paper pieced with a printed origami paper that I had in my stash.  I drew in lines on her pole to resemble a bamboo pole and a piece of gloss was added for more of a realistic feel.

 Here's what I came up with.  I saw a card on Patti's blog, Creations by Patti.  She calls it a Window Card.  Click {HERE} to see her card.  This is what the card looks like closed.  Seems pretty flat right?

Here's what the window card looks like opened up. 

This is a side view to give you an idea of how this card works.  It's almost like a tent card to me.  Pretty neat huh?

I hope you're enjoying all the sneak peeks of this 2nd release.  There's one more image I have to share with you tomorrow then you'll be able to get your hands on these cuties on September 1st!  :)  Check out the Sister Stamps blog for more inspiration and where you can purchase the release.  Also, stop by Debi's blog to see her creations and I'm sure she has some CANDY to give away!  Thanks for stoppin' by today, see you tomorrow!

Sister Stamps Day 2 - From Me To You . . .

Well, it's me again and it's Day 2 of the Sister Stamps 2nd release.  Today I have a Box of Drawers to share with you.  My sweet friend Shirley made one of these a few months back & I got to make one with another friend as a make 'n take with Joy.  It's a fun box to put all kinds of treats and goodies.  Click {HERE} for Shirley's post and project . . . she links to a tutorial on how to make this.

Here is Nobu.  I just adore this image and his playfulness.  That is a toy drum that he's holding, but I don't know the Japanese name for it.  If you know it, I'd luv to hear from you!  I've colored him with copics and thanks to Amy Young, I tried my hand at the Superhero black hair technique!  :)  Click {HERE} to see her video!

Here's another angle of the box.

This is the top view and the lid of the box.  I used a banner die and stamped a sentiment on the banner.

When you take the lid off, the box opens up.  Here are the 4 panels.

Here's the other side . . . YUM, YUM!!!  Full of treats!!

On September 1st, you'll be able to snag Nobu and 3 other images in this 2nd release.  Visit the Sister Stamps Blog for the locations on which you can purchase them!  Don't forget to stop over to Debi's blog, Crafty Buzz!  She has wonderful projects to share with you as well and some CANDY!!  :)

See ya back here tomorrow for Day 3!

A bit of a SISTERLY news . . .

G-Morning y'all!

I'm so, so excited and have been waiting a very long time for this week to arrive.  A sweet SISTER asked me to help her introduce the 2nd release of the Sister Stamps collection.  Yes, Jenny, of Crazy For Papercrafting and co-owner of Sister Stamps, that is!  Jenny has been posting the 4 adorable images over at the Sister Stamps blog in the past few weeks.  Here are the 4 new images:

I have the privilege of sharing my projects with you starting today until its release on September 1st.  And look . . . have you noticed NOBU?  He's the boy that you all have been asking for!  :)

On to my card.  I've created a Recessed Window Card using Miyono.  Thanks Brenda for the idea!  :)  Within the recessed window, I sponged clouds with Distress Ink and made a grassy hill for Miyono with leftover scrap paper.  The bamboo was stamped and cut with a coordinating die from PTI called Peaceful Garden.

Here's a close-up and a side view.  See the depth of the recessed window?  I also used Pop Dots to add dimension to the bamboo and Miyono.

Another close-up . . . I colored Miyono with copics.

This is the inside of the card.  I distressed the circle with Distress Ink Tumble Glass and stamped this Japanese writing stamp with Tumble Glass as well.  The sentiment comes from another PTI set called Gratitude Journal.

Don't ya just luv this image of Miyono?  She will be released on September 1st along with the other 3 images!  Don't forget to check out the Sister Stamps blog for places to purchase these wonderful stamps.

Come back tomorrow . . . I have another project to share with you!  :)  Thanks for stopping by today!
