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.

Craft Challenge Card

This week the challenge at C.R.A.F.T. is to create a Mother's Day Card or a card with a floral theme.  Here is the card I made.

I used paper from my stash on this one.  The flower I handmade using some floral paper I had.  The sentiment is from the ippity stamp set Regal Greetings and the stamp behind the flower is from the ippity stamp set Love in Return, I stamped it onto kraft paper and then cut it out.  The scalloped borders were stamped with the Sweet Thoughts of Spring ippity stamp kit...I just love these scallops the set has 4 different ones, I use them all the time. You can view these sets here.  I used ink from ippity in Burnt Umber.  The ribbon and buttons are from my stash.

Paper Popsicles Theme Card

The theme at Paper Popsicles this week is home...you can make anything with a home theme.  I chose to make a shaped card with their free House Shaped Card Template.   Here's what I came up with-

I cut the card out on Orange card stock and then added the patterned paper.  This is 2 sided DP from K & Co. it's actually from their valentine pack.  I cut the little flowers from the paper added a rhinestone to eahc, and added it to some grass I cut out with my Cricut Easter cart.  I added a some lines with a dark green colored pencil to the grass to give it some dimension.  The stamps are all from the the ippity stamp kit Sweet Thoughts of Spring. I stamped the little chick on yellow cardstock and colored him in with orange and yellow colored pencils, I did a little blending to his tummy. The sentiment and cloud are stamped.  I added the edging around the roof this is a scalloped stamped it is stamped onto some pink paper that has a little shine to it..got it at Hobby Lobby..not sure who makes it:) I had a lot of fun with this shaped card! Thanks Paper Popsicles!!

{ippity} Blog Hop card

H{ippity} Hop!!!

Happy Happy Monday!!! It's H{ippity} Blog Hop Day!! Here is my card I created for the hop.  I used 3 {ippity} stamp kits on this one Alphabetically Adorable- thanks ( this kit is all the letters of the alphabet, so adorable), Where You Should Be- Leaves, &Sweet Thoughts of Spring for the scallops. I love how the {ippity} stamp kits can all be mixed and matched together(kit pics below). The paper is Cosmo Cricket..love this paper.  I stamped the letters and colored them in with Faber Castell Markers.  The scalloped edges are were stamped on coordinating papers and cut out then layered. The leaf stamp was also stamped on coordinating paper, cut out and then glued.  I also stamped the inside corner of the card with the leaf stamp to give a little something on the inside.  If you want to order any of these stamp kits you can do so by clicking HERE. Thanks for looking!!!  Don't forget to check out all the other fab things the Design Team and {ippity} chicks have made HERE.

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.

Spring Layout

Here's a layout I made today for a challenge at Paper Popsicles.  The challenge was to make a spring layout with the following recipe- ribbon, button, flower, birds, color pink, & a scalloped edge.  I really have only made a couple scrapbook pages but I think I like the way this one turned out. The pics are of one of my daughters when she was a baby I dressed all the girls up in their Easter outfits and we took these pics at home... she was so funny..still is.

I used {ippity} stamps on this layout- the birds of from the kit What Matters Most & the Spring sentiment is from Sweet Thoughts of Spring.  The paper is My Minds Eye {ippity} Winter 2010.  If you are looking for {ippity} stamps click HERE. The buttons and ribbon are from my stash. The flower is felt. 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!!
