More new {IPPITY} fun!

Hello again:)  It is time to share another card using the Ippity June release stamps.  This time I used the new Friends + Flowers = Priceless kit.  When I first saw this kit, it just screamed out SUMMER to me, so I had to create a bright and cheerful card with that summery kind of feel.  This would have been a little easier it the sun had actually been at least peeking through our cloud cover... but that just doesn't always happen in these parts.  However, I think I achieved the affect I was going for in spite of the clouds.

I love the mix and match flowers, stems and leave in this kit, and some great sentiments too!  I used two different embosslits for the butterflies and buttons, and embossed the card front using the Butterflies folder from Crafts-Too.  I love this color combo for a Summery feel.  Here are the details:

Stamps - Ippity Flowers + Friends = Priceless
Cardstock - SU Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Choc Chip, White
Ink - SU Poppy Parade, always Artichoke
Supplies - Butterflies EF (Crafts-Too), embosslits - Beautiful Wings and Sweet Buttons (Sizzix), glue dots, adhesive gems, Taffeta Ribbon (SU)

As always, I have this and all the other Ippity kits in stock and ready to ship... check them all out on my SALES BLOG.

Thanks for stopping by... come back soon as I will have more Ippity goodness to share!

Ippity June Release

Hello everyone!  I am back from a visit with my Mom and a quick trip down to Vancouver for a visit with my Brother and Sister in Law, and a very fun trip to Craft Warehouse.  I returned home to my new Ippity waiting for me, and as promised have created a card to share.

I love this saying from the new My True Joy Kit.  And the flower just call out for some fun paper piecing too.  The paper is from My Minds Eye Lime Twist - I love the bright colors in this line!  This is a quick and easy card to make to brighten someone's day. 

Don't forget to visit my sales blog to check out this and all the other wonderful Ippity kits I have in stock and ready to ship!

H{hippity} hop monday

Happy Hippity Hop Monday!  Time to share some more wonderful Ippity creations on our blogs. To see the list of blogs participating today, check out the Ipppity blog HERE - you don't want to miss any of great ippity creations!

 Today I am sharing a card I designed for my card club to make this past Saturday.  It is made using the Party Hat Wishes stamps.  This is such a fun set, and it just calls out for some bright fun colors.  I pulled out my Basic Grey Urban Prairie paper and found this fun flower patterned paper.  Some black gingham ribbon added the final touch (in my stamping room a card just isn't complete without it - I'm a bit of a ribbon addict!)

This is a great set to create cute, quick birthday cards. Don't forget to check out all the Ippity kits I have for sale on my sale blog HERE.

Now it is time for the next stop on the hop.  Check out what Ujjwal has created on her blog HERE. Have a great Monday and Happy Stamping to all!

Why are masuline cards so difficult!

Masculine cards... I find them so difficult.... I love ribbon, and include it on almost every card I make.  But it just doesn't seem to fit on masculine cards, which is one of the reasons I find them so difficult.  They just never quite look finished without that ribbon.  But now I have discovered bakers twine! This wonderful stuff  fits quite well with a masculine theme.  When I add a bit of twine I feel like the card is actually finished off, so all is well in my little stamping world:) 

I am always in need of some masculine birthday cards this time of the year as 2 of my 3 brothers have birthdays in the beginning of march. So this year, I decided it was time to pull out my Ippity Authentic man set.... I just love the car in this set!  I also just got Graphic 45 Proper Gentlemen paper, and was itching to use it.  I think it worked quite well with this image. Hope my big brother likes it to... but no peaking till you get it in the mail!
Supplies:
Stamps - Ippity Authentic Man (available on my sales blog here)
Ink - Pallete Noir and Burnt Umber
Paper - Graphic 45 Proper Gentleman
Other - bakers twine, crystal effects (on the windshield and headlights), copic markers, nesties

Thanks for stopping by today and Happy Stamping!
 

{Ippity} Hop Monday and a challenge!

Happy Ippity Hop Monday!  The card I am posting today is using what I think is one of the cutest Ippity Sets - Fishy Philosophy.  I made this card for the Ippity Hippity Hop Weekly challenge for week 1 and 2 of February - sketch and color.  You can read more details about the challenge on SCS HERE.  To make this card, I embossed the seaweed with clear EP before sponging the aqua ink over the top.  You can't see the sparkle in this picture, but there thicker lines on the fishies are done with black stickles, giving them some flashy style!

Hippity Hopping on Monday!

Good monday morning everyone!  We are heading into a hectic time of year getting ready for the holidays,  but I hope you will still be able to stop by and relax for a few minutes while I share some creations with you.  It is time for another Hippity Hop Monday with Ippity... and today I am sharing a card with one of my favorite sets from the recent new release - Farm Fresh.

Isn't this rooster a great image?  I decided to go with the good morning sunshine theme throughout the card, using the inverted circles nesties and the Rays embossing folder from Tim Holtz to create the rising sun.  I used dew drop ink pads to rub across the embossed image to add color to the sun's rays.  I finished it off with some red gingham ribbon for an additional country touch.  A quick and easy, yet cheerful card.  You can purchase this and all other Ippity sets on my SALES BLOG.  All are in stock and ready to ship.

Thanks for stopping by today, and have fun on the next stop on the hop - it's time to visit Lynn to see what she has created for us today.  If you haven't started the hop yet, you can find the complete list of sites on the Ippity Blog HERE.  Have a great Monday, and happy stamping!

Ippity New Release Blog Hop!!!!

Happy Thursday everyone... and welcome to the Ippity New Release Blog Hop! The new kits are here, and all ready for you to purchase on my sales blog:)  The set I decided to use for today's post is a fun birthday set called Party Hat Wishes - I know this is going to be one of my "go to" sets for bday cards!

I've been having lots of fun with tags lately, so decided to make some birthday tags using this fun set and our new paper pad from Cosmo Cricket - Circa 1934.  I thought the letter and number papers coordinated perfectly with the adorable eye chart in this set. 

Hope you all like these new stamps as much as I do... and don't forget to check out the other blogs on the hop for more inspiration.  You will find the list on the ippity blog... have fun and happy stamping!
