Way too long!

The last time I blogged I was running away to California to find some warm weather and today it looks the warm weather found me here in Jersey.  I've been too long away and am super happy to join the {ippity} hop again!  Today I have a couple things to share with you; first, an envelope book made with the LYB Twig line.  I used the Bird stamp from the "Sing a New Song" set, and used different bird images from assorted sets on the pages.

Next is a card I created for the color challenge at the Play Date Cafe:  pink, red and light blue.   I used Pink Paislee paper and my favorite {ippity} sentiment, which can be found in the "So This Is Love" set.  I finished it off with some baker's twine, a strip of pink cotton fabric, a button and some machine stitching.  Although you can't tell in the picture, the red scalloped border is made with microfine glitter.  

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

Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a wonderful week!  Till next time...

Just a quickie post...

to share a card made for this week's CPS card sketch.  I was inspired by this week's BSS  Monday Idea, which was to stamp a silhouette stamp with a color other than black.  I used Pink Paislee paper and added a bit of shimmer to the image with rock candy distress stickles. Stamps are (what else?!) from{ippity}.

And  I'm not even gonna tell you how long it took to balance that card on this silly concave plate...Till next time...

2 for Monday

Hello everyone, time for another h{ippity} hop...that's 2 in a row for me, I'm on a roll!  This week I have a couple cards to share with you.  First off is a card created for the Buffalo Stamps Sketch.     Cosmo Cricket paper, ribbon and a button finish it off:

And next is a card for this week's Clean and Simple sketch.  I used Pink Paislee "Sweetness" papers, sentiment is from the "How You Doin?" {ippity} set.   The card is finished off with a rose made with the sizzix dimensional die, some felt, ribbon and sparkle.

Tuesday Trigger on a Sunday

When I saw this week's Tuesday Trigger I was taken back to memories of some beautiful old lace that my grandmother had.  Lace that my mother had hand appliquéd on my wedding dress, along with a scattering of seed pearls.

I knew exactly what I wanted to do and it came together quickly...which is a good thing as the challenge is due today!  A bit of winter white cardstock, a pearl, some sheer ribbon and a touch of gold completed this card.  The stamps are from {ippity} and I added a touch of vintage with Antique Linen distress ink.

Thanks for stopping by, till next time...

Falling back!

Hello again everyone it's monday!  I love these couple days of the year cause every time I look at the clock I have more time than I thought I did!    As I was looking through some files on my computer, I realized I never shared the place cards fro my daughter's wedding.  We had a rustic feel with daisies in assorted jars and these love birds from the "Fall for You" ippity set  just fit the bill perfectly!

And here's a page I made for a Black and White challenge at Treasured Scrapbooking.  I used a sentiment from the "So This is Love" ippity set.  

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

A good day

Hello everyone and happy Labor day, hope you're all enjoying the long weekend and that the weather in your part of the world has been as glorious as it is here!  I have a few cards to share for today's {ippity} hop.  First, a bit of Winter cheer, with this card made with the "Season of Joy"  set.  I used an EK success snowflake  border punch and then used the little punched out snowflakes on the background.  The stamped snowflakes are accented with vintage glass glitter:

The next card was created using the lovely vintage postcard stamp, "Thoughts From the Past" and a sentiment from the "So This is Love" set.  Papers are from Scribble Scrabble and the twill is from Stampin Up!  Kaiser pearls and a K and Co. button finish the card off:

Thanks for stopping by, your next stop on the hop is Jennie, and the full hop listing cane be found on the {ippity} blog.

If you would like to see any of the {ippity} sets up close, I invite you to visit my {ippity}and accessories sales site and take a look around.  My newest "must have" accessory is the Bow-Easy! 

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!

FWF and new ippity!

I've missed the past couple of FWF's and am so glad to be back!  This monday I received my shipment of the new {ippity} summer release and have been playing with it every chance I get.  Today I'm going to share a few cards I made for an upcoming "Floral Thank You" class I have been working on.  The first card is all cardstock, background embossed with a Tim Holtz ebossing folder.  I used every stamp in the "Pixie Paisley" set on this card.  Now, I almost never work with purple, but I do like it paired up with lime green.  Some Kaiser rhinestones,purple grosgrain, Crushed Olive distress ink and  lime green zing embossing powder finish this off.

Next is a card made with the beautiful flower image from "So this is love" .  A Nestie label, some My Mind's Eye paper, fiber and a bit of Art institute glitter finish this off.  Sentiment is from Hero Arts.  

Now back to the Unity blog for the full listing off participants, including that one special blog that has the secret blinkie!  

Stop by my {ippity} sales blog to see the full Summer release, available for purchase and immediate shipment today!

It's Here!

The long awaited Summer release is here and I have to say, without a doubt, it's the best yet!  To purchase the new release {ippity} stamps, (or any of the previous releases) click here! 

 The card I have to share with you today uses three of the new sets: The sunshine from Quotes a'la Happy, the adorable Herringbone corner from "You Deserve..." and a sentiment from "So This is Love".  When I saw this sentiment I just knew it would be the first stamp of the release that saw ink! Papers are in the new summer pack and are by Echo Park.  (adorable!)

Thanks for stopping by, your visits and comments are much appreciated!  I'd love it if you'd drop by my {ippity} sales site - I've done some much needed housekeeping in there.  (Still a work in progress though!)  All new release sets are in stock and ready to be shipped to your home!
Till next time...
