Ippity Release day Blog Hop!!!!

Can you believe it is the second Thursday of May.... and time for another Ippity release party and Blog Hop!  You will LOVE all the wonderful Ippity goodness in this release!  If you didn't arrive here through the Hop, don't forget to go check out the entire Hop list on the Ippity blog HERE - you can then follow the links to all the Chick's taking part in the Blog Hop, and enjoy all the wonderful projects they've created! 

And now.... here is my card with the new set Courage is my Strength:

I absolutely love this set!  With this theme I wanted to use pink, so I pulled out some SU Regal Rose and paired it up with crumb cake - I love this combo of colors. I used nesties label 16 to cut out the sentiment, then cut it in half to create the "tab."  And since I could not find my paper piercer anywhere (as usual!) I finally had an opportunity to use my Sew Easy to create the holes for my "faux stitching" down the left side.  With this technique, simply use a marker (any color you'd like) to create the "stitches" by drawing from hole to hole.... kind of like connect the dots when I was a kid! How fun:) 

This set and all the other new releases are availabe NOW on the Unity website at http://www.unitystampco.com/.  You can choose me as your Ippity Chick HERE, and then order all Ippity AND Unity stamps on ONE order - how cool is that!

And don't forget to check out all the other Ippity creations on the rest of the HOP... and we all love your comments too:)

Thanks for stopping by, and Happy Stamping!

Chick Sketch Challenge

Hello everyone!  I am hosting the weekly Ippity Chick Sketch Challenge this week!  Play along with us... simply create a card using Ippity and/or Unity stamps, using the this sketch for inspiration:

You can flip or turn the sketch to accomadate your creation - just have fun with it!  Once you have finished your card, go to the challenge site HERE and enter the challenge by uploading a pic of your card or link to your blog post through a "linky" on the sketch challenge post featuring my card below... and you may win the stamp I used on my card, plus another Ippity Bitty stamp of your choice.... how great is that? 

Here is the card I created for this sketch challenge.  I love this Bitty called "Happy are those", and when I saw the circles in this challenge thought of the clouds on this stamp.  I used nesties big scallop circles for the clouds, and sponges some of the blue ink along the edges to outline the cloud shape.  Here are all the details:
Stamp - Ippity Happy are Those
Ink - SU Marina Mist
Paper - SU Marina mist, white
Other - Nesties big scallop circles, ovals, wide grosgrain ribbon, dimensionals.

I can't wait to see your creations using this sketch - so don't forget to play along and upload your creation by Wednesday, May 16 at 11:59 Eastern time. 

And don't forget... tomorrow is a new Ippity release, so be sure to stop by tomorrow at 7PM Central for the Release day Blog Hop - you will get to see lots of Ippity inspiration posted by me and other Ippity chicks on the hop! 

Thanks for stopping by today... and Happy Stamping!

New Ippity Release HOP!

Howdy Stampers - it's the second Thursday of the month (already!!) and you know what that means, right?  It's time for another {Ippity} release and our release day blog hop filled with inspiration from {Ippity} Chicks! You should have arrived from Crystal's Blog - didn't ya just love her creation?  If you didn't arrive from there, make sure to go back to the {Ippity} Blog and start the hop from the beginning... trust me, you don't want to miss anything this month:)


Today I am sharing a card I made with the new kit called Let Your Heart Take Flight.

I created the sun by creating punching a circle in a scrap piece of cardstock.  I then sponged yellow and orange ink through the cut out onto the white cardstock.  And although you can't really tell in the picture, I used dimensionals to attach the cut out heart and banner for a 3D affect.  Banners are my new fav for adding sentiments to cards, and so easy to make.  This is a great set for a quick and easy card like this one!



You can purchase this set on the Unity Site along with all the other sets in the release AND all the wonderful Unity sets as well!  I'd love to be your chick - just click on my pic on the Unity site, and then order away:)  There is a special new release bundle available as well... for a great price!

And now it is time to continue with the HOP with a visit to Christine's Blog...Don't forget to visit all the Ippity Chick's blogs on the hop tonight... below is the list if you get lost along the way. Thanks for hopping with us!!

Fabulous Blog Hop

It's time for another {ippity} release day blog hop with the {ippity} chicks! You should have arrived here from Anita's blog.  If you did not, you'll want to GO back and start on the Ippity Blog .  You don't want to miss a stop, because with this blog hop comes some free {ippity} goodness! To be eligible for the prize you will need to collect one word as you GO to each blog in the hop. 

All the details are on the Ippity blog, so be sure you GO there first! (and if you need a hint on my word... GO look for the red;))

And now for a look at my card for the hop!  I used one of the adorable sets from the new release called Something Groovy.

I love this stamp so much, and it was so fun to use!  The patterned paper is from the DCWV Hippie Chic stack. I was immediately drawn to the bright colors, and knew I just had to have a lime green VW...and of course add a little groovy bling bling too.

Don't forget that you can get all Ippity sets on the Unity site along with all Unity stamps- how groovy is that????

So now it is time for the next stop on the hop... just click on the badge below to check out some wonderful Ippity inspiration on Noelle's blog.

{IPPITY} LOVE Blog Hop

It is February release day for {Ippity} and to celebrate we are having a LOVE themed blog hop!  What does that mean?  It means I am challenging you to make a card inspired by the letters L-O-V-E.  YOU decide what they stand for, and make your card.  Here's my card using the new Ippity Itty Bitty set called Friendship Rainbow:
Pin It

L is for Labels - I used Labels 8 (nestabilities) to create a "window" in my card front.

O is for Oval - I used Nestie ovals to cut out the image and mat it.

V is for Violet and Velvet - The color of the card and the top arc of the rainbow and the hearts are cut fom red velvet.

E is for Embossing - The image is stamped with black versafine ink, then embossed with clear embossing powder, and the card front is embossed with a mini heart background embossing folder. 

How will LOVE inspire your creativity today?  Create your LOVE card and share it with us on Splitcoaststampers and the IPPITY Blog HERE and you will have a chance to win 2 Itty Bitty sets! And don't forget to check out the rest of the blog hop for more Ippity inspiration - all the links are on the blog.
