Share Your Ippity Blog Hop

Hello, friends:}

Just a quick reminder-- I have a giveaway going on HERE until Friday, April 17 at midnight....double your chances!! Come on--I know you like free goodies!! I do:}

Today is a special day over on Bonnie's blog...she is hosting her first blog hop with 2 Sketches for You. How fun! And I'm a part of this AWESOME hop!! Be sure to check out Bonnie's blog for more deets!

I've been a bit busy on Mondays and haven't had a chance to fit in any of my Ippity cards:{ So I have a couple to share today--and they are CAS! Love when that happens! Quick cards!!

The first card I created was for the Loonie Stampers Challenge #87. I really liked this idea of teal, black, and white. I do wish I would have used silver gems instead of black...but I really like it. I love love love that silk/satin bow! MMMM! So big! I used Unity's Love Grows tree and the sentiment came from Ippity's Just Wanted To Say set. That is a great set for sentiments! I do have one more card for the challenge--but I have to put some finishing touches on it...I'll probably share it Monday next week!

after- still not the  greatest background...but it works!

**NOTE:: I know I know...That background looks horrible--I will see about taking another pic later today!

The second card was CAS--I stamped the bird from Ippity's Music Of My Heart set and added flowers and gems for the tail. I printed the sentiment with the computer. So simple! 

This next card was also CAS--I love the plaid background and the shape of the card. I stamped a very soft music background from the Music Of My Heart Ippity set with the sentiment from Ippity's What Matters Most. The butterflies are also from the same Ippity set. I paper pieced each butterfly and flocked two of them for demision. I love it--LOVE simple! **NOTE:: I messed up the ink on the sentiment by pushing down too hard--but I didn't want to remake the card. I make mistakes too--too many actually! Maybe I should have made another one:} **NOTE2:: I got my flocking over at Limelight! Check out their awesome deals when you are done with the hop!!

This last card was created for Trav! I also used the Hip Hop sketch. I really like that banner/tag stamp from Ippity's Love In Return set. I also used the scalloped stamp from Sweet Thoughts of Spring. The animals are from Ippity's Winter collection--Simply Home set. I flocked them as well! Super simple card!

I normally don't make CAS cards...but I think I'm really into these simple and fast projects. Note to self:: make more CAS cards!!! They are easy to make and quick!!

just reminiscing and a new friend

Hello, friends:} **Be sure to read to the bottom...HINT!


I don't have a new card for you today....but I do have a card that I made and featured on my other blog. The story goes like this:: I had to switch over to blogspot because several [and I mean SEVERAL] people complained about my MAC.com site. I think it was a good change...but I loved that blog. Not many people saw the post because they said it took forever to load--MACs will do that to a PC:} Just kidding about that! Anyway...I featured this card back in October or early November...I loved this owl stamp from Unity that I used it on SEVERAL cards (wish I could feature them all!!)! Ack--look at his eyes! Makes me laugh STILL! 

  

I have over 14 owl stamps...so I made this one for an EtsyInspired challenge--so cute:}

**NOTE:: these photos are before I knew how to make a light box or use my photo editing program...

So...about my new friend...I am currently on the Play Date Cafe Design Team...which I LOVE! And one of the team members, Ruby 2 Shoes, purchased some Ippity off of me! Super sweet:} I also sent her some Unity stamps--her first time using them! I think this card is super FAB! She has it featured over on her blog--go check it out and leave her some love!! **NOTE:: to sweeten my giveaway...if you leave her some love and come tell me what you liked about her creations...I will double your chances! Today's post only!! So go over HERE, leave some love, come back here and leave a comment! This must mean I am holding a giveaway RIGHT NOW! Lucky YOU! You have until Friday, April 23 to visit Ruby and leave some love!! 

Well...I better get back to work...yesterday was a CRAZY day--I might end up telling the story later this week. Be sure to stop by tomorrow for some Ippity goodness--Bonnie is hosting a blog hop!! HOOORAY! So be sure to stop by here for all the deets and where to go!
