Bookmark for Ippity Challenge

Here is a bookmark I made for the ippity challenge this week.  The challenge was to make something and it had to have dry embossing on it.  I chose to make a bookmark.

For this bookmark I used black cardstock, beige cardstock and kraft paper.  I used the swiss dots cuttlebug folder. The stamps are from the ippity stamp kit what matters most.  The ink is Black Noir Palette Hybrid available from ippity. I added teal rhinestones to the cross stamp.  The sentiment is such a beautiful saying I thought it was perfect for a bookmark.  I added a button and some black raffia to finish it off.  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!!

{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:)
