Hopping with {ippity}

Hello and welcome to another Monday {ippity}hop.  I have a couple cards to share with you today.  First is a card inspired by the Color throwdown challenge this week.  I loved this combination!  I pulled out the "Authentic Man" set for this - I haven't used this gorgeous set nearly enough!  Papers are from Cosmo Cricket and October Afternoon.  I finished it off with some twine and beat up brads:

Next is a card based on the color challenge at Just Us Girls - Black, Cream and Kraft.  How can you go wrong with this elegant combo?  Elegant- so much so that I decided to finally ink up the chandelier in the "Regal Greetings" set.  Graphic 45 paper for the background, some beautiful vintage looking lace from KaiserCraft, a pearl and some black Diamond stickles finish it off:

All {ippity} stamp sets are available for purchase right Here!

Thanks for stopping by, have a great week!  Till next time...

Oh the joy of a long weekend!

A long weekend, the promise of cooler weather and a Friends with Flair Blog Hop...no better way to start the weekend!  My blog has been sorely neglected for the past several weeks, but with vacation behind me I should be back on track!  I have a few cards to share today.   First off I finally inked up that fabulous manly {ippity} set, "Authentic man"  I paired it with some Bella Boulevard papers, a couple banged up brads ( I knew I bought that hammer for a reason!) A blender pen and markers colored in the car and the headlights are accented with a yellow spica pen:

Next up is a simple one layer card on craft cardstock using several {ippity} sets: "So This is Love", "Life is the Journey" and "A Moment in Time". A bit of ink was sponged on the edges to soften things up and a thick bit of knotted twine finishes it off.  

Thanks for stopping by I've missed our visits!  Have you found the secret blinkie yet?  still looking for it? Next up on the hop is Lisa! and the full list of participants can be found on the Unity blog. 

Interested in any of the {ippity} stamps you see here?  You can get them here - on my newly redesigned, (and still a work in progress) {ippity} sales site. 

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
