 Today I am sharing 2 cards made with some of the new stamps being released tomorrow morning.


For the first card I used Oh My Darling - a wonderful vintage style set.  I pulled out my Tim Holtz paper stash for this card, finding the perfect match in his Crowded Attic collection.  The images are stamped in black with brown added to all the edges and corners for a distressed look.  I finished it off by adding some bakers twine and a button.  The images are matted on Early Espresso card stock from SU, which is also used for the card base.  I will add some ivory paper inside the card for writing, and may even add some more of these great images there as well.

The second card is made using the adorable and funny new set called Naughty. Nice. Not Sure.  I love all the fun phrases in this set!  I plan to check one of the options before I send this one off... which one will depend on the recipient of course!

 I used some more of my Tim Holtz stash on this card, this time from his Seasonal collectionl  I stamped the Santa on white and colored him using markers before cutting him out, and then added stickles for some sparkle.  The list is a second stamp also cut out from white cardstock, then attached using dimensionals.

What's Cookin?

Today I'd like to share another card we did at card club, this one using this adorable chef from the Ippity What's Cooking stamp set. This stamp is perfect for paper piecing with fun patterned paper, an excellent option for those who don't like to color images.  I used gingham paper from Amuse to make mine... and I just love that gingham kerchief around his neck!  I added a zig zag made out of black gingham paper using a border punch, and a button with baker's twine tied in a bow.  The great thing about a card like this is that you can make it using any color combo you'd like, and it totally changes the feel of the card... a bright yellow or orange would be great too!  You can see this entire set HERE on the Unity Stamp site. 

Be sure to visit again on August 29th for the Ippity new release blog hop.  See you then!

Dream a little Ippity~

Hello everyone!  As some of you may know, I host a card club at my house on the first Saturday of each month with a group of wonderfully fun stampers!  Today I would like to share a card we made when we got together in July (the last time we met since our water damage made me cancel August!)  This is a card we made using the Ippity set Dream to Be.  I love this little birdie colored using markers, and cut out using nestabilities.  You can see this entire stamp set HERE on the Unity web site.  Don't forget to choose me as your Ippity Chick:)

Remember to come back for a visit on August 29th starting at 5PM PST for the new release blog hop where all the Ippity Chicks will be sharing creations made with the CUTE CUTE CUTE new Ippity releases.  See you then!
