Ippity Chick Sketch Challenge

Have you checked out the Ippity Chick Challenges yet? Each week there is a new sketch challenge with a prize offered by an Ippity Chick... and this week I am the sponsor... so check it out HERE! Play along with me and post your creation for a chance to win an Ippity set of your choice!

I created my card for the challenge using one of my favorite sets - Music of the Heart. I stamped the music using brown ink directly onto the background paper from the Minuet collection by Memory Box. For the ribbon, I decided it was finally time to use some of the HUGE spool of seam binding I have, and try my hand at dying it to match. I used the Ballet Blue classic re-inker, adding a few drops to some water. I let the binding soak for a few minutes, then rinsed it out. I think it turned out very pretty! And I love how easy it is to tie nice bows with the soft texture of the seam binding. I finished the card off with some cute little star buttons from my stash, attached with glue dots.

I have this and all other Ippity sets in stock and ready to ship - check out my sales blog HERE











And now it is your turn to create a card based on the sketch - and don't forget to upload it to the challenge site HERE so you will have a chance to win an Ippity set! I can't wait to see your creations:)

Shine Shine Shine from Ippity

Today I'd like to share another card I designed for my card club last weekend.  This is a card I've been thinking about for awhile, and finally found the paper I liked with it.  I love the motivational theme of this set - {...Shine Shine Shine from the Ippity July release.  It has a wonderful vintage feel, don't you think?

 This is a very quick and easy card, yet has an elegant feel.  Just stamp three of the lamp images in black ink, mat on black card stock and add the patterned paper of your choice.  I finished it off with some crocheted ribbon.  I added the sentiment on the front, but it could also just have a sentiment inside that fits the occasion.

I have this set available for sale with FREE shipping on my sales blog... just click HERE

Thanks for stopping by today... and as always... happy stamping!

Skiing Penguin?????

Oh my goodness... it is already November and time to get ready for the holidays!  And of course, that means Christmas Cards!  Ippity's November release includes 2 new winter themed/holiday sets :  Pain and Pride and Warm Wishes.   As soon as I saw this little penguin in the two pain set, I loved him because he skis just like me (on his behind!)  We made this card for my card club this last Saturday:

I especially love the little birdie who has come to help him out:)  To make this card, we just stamped the penguin and colored him in with some markers.  The snowflakes are embossed with a sparkling embossing powder with stickles added in the centers. 

I have this set and all Ippity sets in stock and ready to ship... and the shipping is FREE!  Just check out my sales blog HERE.

Time for a butterfly!

Hello!  I sure hope everyone is enjoying the summer.  The summer weather has finally arrived here, and I have been enjoying our sun the last week:)  After some traveling for work and a little for pleasure... I finally had some time to play with some new Ippity this weekend.  The card I am sharing today is made with one of the new releases from last month Thankful For You and although you can't really see the sentiment in the picture, it is from Now and Always.

I've had the Tim Holtz rosette die for awhile, so I decided it was time to get it out and give it a try. I love how easy this die makes it to make beautiful rosettes. I made this one using paper from the Oxford collection by Basic Grey and matted it on an eyelet circle nestie cut from bashful blue cardstock. I used my new Sky ink from Amuse as well - I love how this ink works with solid images, and the Sky color works really well with SU's Bashful Blue.


I have this and all Ippity sets on hand and ready to ship - visit my Sales Blog to check them all out.

How about some Vintage {IPPITY}

Time to share some more Ippity with you all!  Today I am sharing a card made with another of the Ippity June release kits - New Season, New Wonder. I heard on the news this week that eating apples (with the skins) really does have health benefits.  So I decided if one a day will keep the doctor away, why not three?

These stamps have such a wonderful vintage feel, I thought it was time to finally break out my Tim Holtz inks to use... and I love how well this ink works with these stamps!  And for some reason after I made this card I had a craving for apple pie.....!!!  So here are the details:

Stamps -  Ippity New Season, New Wonder
Ink -  Distress Ink - Peeled Paint and Walnut Stain
Paper - October Afternoon 5 & Dime, SU Old Olive, Kraft
Supplies - Old Olive grosgrain ribbon, sponge, gold adhesive pearls, Nesties Labels 8 and 16, dimensionals
I have this and all other Ippity kits in stock and ready to ship on my Sales Blog
