A few more challenge cards

This card is for the CASE Study challenge.  The inspiration card is Gorgeous and how much fun is a challenge that you CASE another card?!! I will be playing along often!! Stamps are Unity March KOTM and Unity Simply Said.

My second card is for the Simon Says Stamp and Show Distressing challenge. Who could pass up distressing LOL!! I used Ippity stamp Bit of Burlap and Ippity stamp set Cherish Your Dreams. (Love em' - I have both in stock and ready to ship!)  I love the way the blue ink made this happy card even brighter!!

My last project is for The Outlawz Scrapbook challenge. The challenge is holidays.We all have holiday pictures right - come on over and PLAY!! There are some great prizes involved!  Anyway, this picture was one I took of Maci under our Christmas Tree. I love the way the picture turned out. I used this adorable Echo Park paper and Twinery twine.  No stamping isn't that crazy! I still love the way it turned out. Click on the layout to see it closer up.

FWF Friday and Class examples!

Don't you just L♥O♥V♥E this new LYB Elizabeth Park line of paper?!!  I will be using this layout for some pictures of Maci playing outside!  (Is it wrong to have the layout before the pictures? LOL)  This two-page layout along with the card here are projects I will be teaching on Friday night April 15th.  You can click on the picture to see it larger.  The second page fits a 5x7 photo perfectly or you can use a 4x6 with a mat.  I think this will be perfect for any outdoor pictures, pictures of flowers or pretty trees, etc.   I will have 3 more cards as well and Cynde will be teaching 2 layouts!!  If you are interested in signing up for the class - shoot me an email!!  AND if you are loving these Ippity stamps as much as I do click here and order some for yourself!! I have some sweet prices and awesome freebies!!

*note for class - please bring your normal scrapbook tool kit along with adhesive that works well with ribbon, scissors and 3D foam squares.

Ippity Hip Hop Monday

I am so sorry to be late getting this up this morning!!  This first card I made for the kissing technique this week on Simply Scrapping Crafts.  I inked the flower stamp from Ippity set So This is Love with fluid chalk ink first and then inked my Bit of Burlap stamp with brown - then kissed the flower stamp into the Bit of Burlap (added a little extra brown just at the edges and then stamped onto the cardstock.  Fun technique and great challenge.  The next two cards I made for Kelly's Birthday Ippity Challenge but couldn't decide which I liked better.  All of these Ippity sets are in stock and ready to send out to a good home!! Remember I have Free 6x6 papers, embellishments and Free Handmade Fabric Flowers with every order!!  I will be mailing these cards along with my other Hope you Can Cling To challenge cards!! Have a great Monday!

Unity Friends with Flair Friday

I made this card for the card challenge group over at SSC.  It is a sketch challenge. I used a 6x6 Cosmo Cricket pad material girl. Cardstock is PTI. Stamps are Ippity, if you look closely you can see the burlap stamp behind the flower and sentiment which are from the Ippity kit Faith Blooms. Pearls are Kaiser Craft. Fabric strip (not sure). I inked up the edges and did some stitching to finish it off.To see more fabulous Unity and Ippity creations head over to the Unity Blog for a list to check out!!

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!!
