Spring Card using Ippity Stamps

Here is a Spring card I made this morning using the ippity stamp kit Sweet Thoughts of Spring!! 

This card is for 4 challenges... I based this card off of Kazan's Sketch #49 at 2 Sketches 4 You, the ippity challenge this week is to create a Spring based project using ippity stamps, and the challenge at Cuttlebug Challenge blog is to also create a Spring project incorporating the cuttlebug, and an Easter card for the C.R.A.F.T. Challenge.

Here's what I did:

The sentiment, flowers and basket were all stamped with the ippity stamp kit Sweet Thoughts of Spring. I created my own DP using the flower stamp for the background of this card.  I used watercolor pencils to color the basket and the flowers.  The pink paper was dry embossed using my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder.  The circle was cut out with my Cricut George cart and the edges of the circle and card were both chalked with chalk from Studio G.

Here's an Easter card I made with three challenges in mind-

The challenges for this card were-

Ippity Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers- to use chipboard in project

I absolutely love this little bunny he's from the ippity stamp kit

Sweet Thoughts of Spring..you can view it here  The ink is also from ippity it is Palette- Burnt Umber.  I stamped the bunny on chipboard and then cut it out.  I used my watercolor pencils to add a little color to him.  The DP is My Minds Eye.  I stamp the scalloped edge using the same ippity stamp kit and also the sentiment.  I used my Cuttlebug Swiss dots folder to add a little texture to the bottom.  Thanks for looking!!

Birthday Card

Here's a card I made for Lauras sketch 47 and the 2 Sketches 4 You blog- I just love playing along...they always have such great sketches.

For this card I used DP from My Minds Eye- Quite Contrary, the stamps are ippity- the flowers are from the stamp kit What Matters Most, Happy Birthday is from Lifes little moments I stamped it and cut it out..this was actually a square stamp with a big letter H also but I did not include that,  the circles and tag were cut with my cricut, the paper for the tag is coordinations, I sanded it for the teal to show through.  I also inked the edges of the circle with my Burnt Umber ink pad and gave it a little pattern. I stitched the edges of the card and the brown DP, and added a little zig zag stitch across the bottom. I finished off the inside with the bottom of the DP I thought it looked perfect for this card because it had the coordinating brown paper already on...it's a way to use the edge:)

Thanks for looking!!

P.S. I love comments:)

Card made for 2 Sketches 4 You Challenge

Heres a card I made for Kazans sketch at 2 sketches 4 you.... I used my cricut george cart to cut out the circles at 3 and 3 1/2".  The stamps are ippiy the sentiment is from Sweet Thoughts of Spring and the butterflies are from What Matters Most.  I cut the butterflies out and used pop dots to give it dimension.  I used paper from both K & Co. and My Minds Eye.  I used my sewing machine to stich around the edge of the card and the circle.  The green paper was cut at the top to give a little grass look. I colored the butterflies with memory marker and the blue is watercolored. Thanks for looking.

I love this little Chick!!

Here is a my take on Laura's Sketch #46 at 2 Sketches 4 You. My layout is tweaked a little I used this adorable little oval Chick stamp to represent the oval in this sketch.. Hope you like it:)

I just love this little chick I stamped using my Sweet Thoughts of Spring {ippity} stamp set- you can view this set HERE. (all stamps on this card are from this pack).  I cut the doilies with my Cricut and then stamped the chick.  I colored him in with colored pencils.  I then stamped the flowers twice, colored them in, cut them out, and glued them to the doily.. I love the way they turned out. The paper is My Minds Eye and from the {ippity} Winter collection.  The sentiment is stamped. The scallops were also stamped, this is a border stamp, I cut it out, cut it in half and then layered the two.  The buttons are from my stash I thread them and stuck them on with sticky dots.  The ribbon is from Target.. the dollar bins.  Thanks for looking!!

Greetings Valentine!!

Here is a card I created based on Laura's Sketch #45 at the 2 Sketches 4 You blog-  I have entered it into 2 Challenges...Laura's Sketch #45 at 2 Sketches for You Challenge and Die Cuts R Us- Love theme

I know...another Valentine, but it's that time of the year:)  I have 3 daughters, so I had to make them each one.  I just love this paper with the robots it's from K& Co....again!!  I'm just having so much fun using this pack of valentine paper!  My 16 year old actually fell in love with these little robots, so I made this card for her.  I drew the Robot myself to make it match the patterned paper and then colored it in with colored pencils.  I then cut him out and added some red cardstock to make him stand out against the coordinating teal paper.  I used chalk around the edges of the teal and robot paper.  The hearts I cut out on my Cricut with the George cart and then Cuttlebugged them with swiss dots, I also chalked the edges of the hearts.  I attached them with foam squares to give some dimension.  I cut some red card stock and cut it with border scissors and layered it under the ribbon. Thank you for looking!!

2 Sketches 4 You Challenge

Here is a card I made based on Kazan's sketch 45 at 2 Sketches 4 You. I have never made a circular card before, so it was quite interesting to figure out. I based this card off of a paper I had from K and Co. My daughter loved this paper with the little lions printed on it. This will be her Valentine:) I used my Cricut George Cart to cut the shapes for the lions head and pieced it together, I used foam squares to give it dimension. I used twigs for his whiskers and added rhinestones to his eyes, and added a little pink chalk for his cheeks. For his mane and the background I used my Easter 2010 cart. I added a little dangling heart, which now kind of looks like the end of his tail.

The wording inside is also from K and Co, I cut it off a pre-printed card that came with the paper pack. Thanks for looking!!
