A Warm Hello

Did everyone have a nice 4th of July? Sister Stamps has sure been busy over the holiday weekend! While in Honolulu, got to visit family and do a bit of shopping (yeah!). Got to see some of our stamps on the shelves, which was totally exciting! Some stores even sold out! So we are busy packing up more orders so that stores will be stocked up again soon with our images.

While visiting, I got to see Aunty Jan and do some damage at the Rubber Stamp Expo and at our local craft retailers who carry our stamps. We had so much fun and even ran into other Hawaii bloggers while shopping. It was exciting to eavesdrop on customer asking about our stamps and seeing the general excitement about the line.

Aunty never fails to excite... this time she brought me more samples! Thank you Aunty! Since Mei Li's outfit has no pattern, its perfect for stamping directly on washi paper. Aunty then paper pieced the outfit onto Mei Li so no coloring was involved!

Thanks again Aunty for another cute card! Stay tuned for more samples by Aunty Jan.

Mei Li Tag Card

Can you believe its only 2 more days until Sister Stamps will be available for purchase? I know you can't see right now but I'm jumping up and down with excitement! Enough about me... I know you'd rather check out our next sample. Aunty Jan created this card that looks like a tag- isn't it neat? She even added a tassel to the top. I love that she added punched flowers to the tassel too.


Here's a close up of Mei Li... Thank you so much Aunty for your help!

And Last But Not Least... It's Mei Li!

Before I introduce Mei Li to all of you, I just want to say how excited and happy (and overwhelmed) I am on the warm response to Sister Stamps! I've been telling my sister for years that she "owes it to the crafting community" to make her designs available to us all. I think she thought I was joking, but I was dead serious. So you may think I started this company to make money, but just know that I really had all of you in mind when I decided to make these images into rubber!


And now for our final image on our first release, we have Mei Li. Mei Li was named after my other niece Haley. She looks like she has a lot of spunk, just like my 5 year old niece, so I thought the name was fitting. Mei Li comes holding a really cute lantern and pretty flowers in her hair.



Decided to make a few simple type cards to give some samples to the stores. We purposefully sized our images small enough to fit into those Spellbinder Nestibilities dies that we love to use so much. (Thanks Kris for that great tip!)


Here's all of the cards I made using Mei Li... You can check it out when you visit your favorite retailer to pick up your stamps!
