Playing with Ippity

These five cards are for a class I am doing on Saturday, July 9th. I had so much fun making these. I used some of my new BoBunny paper and ribbon to make a masculine card. I am also loving the look of these frames made by using spellbinders dies! 

Another masculine card using a negative space technique.  Love this Ippity set The Best!!
This card was inspired by the CASual Friday challenge to make a masculine card using Kraft.

This one is Pink Paislee paper and lots of fun extras.  This is the newest Thankful for You Ippity set.
This card is being entered in the All Things Unity challenge to use a butterfly.

Made another flower pot card (because the last one was so much fun).  

Ippity set Friends + Flowers = Priceless.

This last one is fun, bright Echo Park Sweet Summertime paper and the watermelon slice stamp from New Season New Wonder.  This card is being entered in the Unity Challenge (Summer).

Let me know if you would like to have an Ippity class!!

H{Ippity} Hop Monday!!

This card is for my daughter's good friend who turned 16 yesterday!! I made the card for today's birthday challenge at The Outlawz you are to use ribbon or string (mine is twine from the twinery) and a circle which is in my DP from October Afternoon.  I also used some bling in random circles. The happy banner is from Ippity set Party Hat Wishes I love how happy and fun this card turned out!  I am also sharing my layout for this week's scrapbook challenge also at The Outlawz.  We were challenged to make a layout inspired by spring.  Mine is a wedding layout (because at the moment  when I think spring I think Michaella's wedding - which will be next spring!) The layout is much prettier in real life. The flower/bling/ribbon is not cream as it appears in the picture but actually off- white like the bride's dress accents.  Stamps are Unity Welcome Baby and Ippity A Moment in Time.

Ippity Hip Hop Monday!!

This layout uses my favorite sentiment from the Ippity set Fall forYou.  I thought it was perfect for this photo of Mariah. I also used the pretty butterfly from Now and Always.  I was so excited to scrapbook this weekend after making this awesome crinkly ribbon!!  I used Shimmerz Vibez (blue) and Smooch Spray (purple) instead of Glimmer Mist and it worked just as good!!  I also used the sprays to color cotton batting for the spiral flowers.  The rest of the layouts (and card) use some Ippity and lots of Unity.  Click any of the layouts to see more detail.  The second layout is one that we made during class last weekend but I tweaked it a bit and added this photo of Mariah from her birthday last year.

Another Friends with Flair Friday :)

I made these cards for the Ippity Challenge this week.  I love these burlap tags (which I sprayed with glimmer mist).  The first card uses an Ippity sentiment from Delightful Little Things and the frame from Season of Joy.  I just masked the sentiment after I stamped it so that the frame would fit nicely. I added a little extra highlighting to the sentiment with a souffle pen.  On the second card I used the Unity Vintage Ledger stamp and the sentiment is from Ippity A Moment in Time!  You can see and purchase all of the Ippity sets by clicking on the tab above.

Unity released a couple of super cute sets - you can check them out along with the list of Friends with Flair participants here.  

I have one more thing to show you. This is my FRONT yard!! What a mess! But we will have a new well by next week.

Blogger had a tough Monday

I guess we can forgive them though!! My Ippity Hop Card was done and ready to go yesterday but I couldn't get it posted. I'm so sorry to anyone who hopped by earlier. This card is headed to Unity (along with several others) to be included with the Operation Write Home card campaign that my fellow Ippity Chicks are involved in. What a great cause - check out more information here.  And to see the list of all the other Ippity Hop participants and a brand new Ippity Challenge click here.

I used Angie Blom's fabulous tutorial to make this fun flower!! PS I Love You (from the Love in Return Ippity set which I have in stock check the Ippity tab at the top of the page)  is stamped in the Unity Brown (it looks black in the picture for some reason) the background stamp from A Moment in Time (also in stock!!)  is stamped with VersaMark ink and then chalked with light brown chalk. I added a pretty border, ribbon and stitched around the card to finish this off.  I wanted to go with colors I thought a male soldier would like but with a feminine touch if he is sending it to his wife/mom/daughter, etc. Let me know what you think!  Have a great Monday :) 

Happy June :)

I know I haven't blogged in a while - I was on vacation!!  I will have some fun beach pictures and even more fun baby Maci pictures to share with you very soon.  Today though, I have a card which is for my F A T H E R challenge at SSC!! Please go check it out over there for more details.  (Judy just started a brand new PRIZE format and June's prize for the Stamp & Scrap group is awesome!) I used Basic Grey Basics paper in Kraft and Manilla and Kraft cardstock for the card base. I used 3 stamps the clock is from a Retro set from Unity, the Family is from Ippity a Moment in Time (please click on the Ippity tab at the top of the post to purchase), and the Dad stamp is from a Unity Kit of the Month (not sure what month sorry). I used the Stampin UP embossing die to cut my heart then sanded and distressed it with Distress Ink. I also inked around all the other edges too! The twine is from May Arts and the buttons were colored a bit with a copic marker to "distress" them too.

Happy H{Ippity} Hop

So is everybody loving the new Ippity?  I sure am!!  I still can't pick a favorite!!  I love them all :)  I made several cards this weekend and I have one I can show today.  This is the card I made for the lace challenge on Splitcoast Stampers. The papers are from the Cosmo Cricket Material Girl Mini Deck! Love them!! The cardstock is from PTI. The stamps are all from the newest Ippity Release including A Bit of Burlap, Faith Blooms, A Moment in Time and Now & Always! I used the newest Unity ink available through Ippity Raw Sienna to stamp the burlap and then stamped the flower over it in Unity's Burnt Umber. I added a little of the Raw Sienna around the edges of my papers and then machine stitched (first time ever on a circle!!) I added a little color to my flower with copics and some half pearls to accent my flower border. I also added a bit of the Raw Sienna to the lace to give it the vintage feel of the rest of the card. I think this is my new favorite style sweet with a touch of shabby chic/vintage. Is that a style? LOL  Have a great week!!

The day is finally here!! New Ippity Release!!

And they are AWESOME!!! I LOVE THEM!! I HAD to HAVE every single one of these!! You will be seeing lots and lots of Ippity creations here in the weeks to come!! I have two projects for you today. For my layout I used stamps from Now & Always (the swirl stamp - and the flowers in this kit are gorgeous!!) Delightful Little Things (Awesome quotes!!) and A Moment in Time (Another Amazing Scrapbook Kit - and just a little FYI the Freebie paper I included with this kit includes 3 sheets from October Afternoon's Thrift Shop line that is soooooooo SWEET plus several other 12 x 12 papers 5 yards of great ribbon and twill and some super cool rub-ons from 7gypsies!!!) - this layout will be for Mindi's baby book (we are sure getting anxious for little Maci to arrive!!)

For my second project I stamped on a painted clay pot with the super sweet A Little Buggy stamps!! This was a gift for the cooperating teacher (2nd grade) that Michaella had this semester in her block 2 class.  Aren't these bugs adorable!!
