H{ippity} Hop Nov. 22 {lots of pics}

Hello, friends:}


It's been like a month since I last H{ippity} Hopped! OH MY! So glad to join in the fun over on the Ippity blog! Be sure to stop by Ippity for a complete of blogs to hop!


I'm sharing some of my creations that I made for the Ippity New Release on Thursday. I made this first card for the second challenge {scallops}. Actually--it's not a card, its a tag. Eh. I love this new set from Ippity [Party Hat Wishes]--I used the scallops and birthday chart from this set. I did have to use my Unity cupcake [6 pack essensials] as an embellie--those super cute cupcakes from Ippity's new set [Cuppy Cakes] were a wee bit too big:} LOVE how this turned out!

My next creation was featured yesterday on the Ippity blog--HOOOORAY! I loved making this tag-it was created for the Ippity challenge #3 {Chistmas/Holiday with NO red or green}. I used blue, kraft, grey, and white. I love that snow on that Ippity house [What Matters Most]!! And I used the new Ippity set [Gurnsey Gingham] for the background on the tag. Then I pulled out my ollllllld Ippity set Seasons of Joy for the sentiment--LOVE it! This tag is perfect for Lucy's challenge--use something new {background stamp} and something OLD {the sentiment}. 

I also made two mini cards for the Ippity Hip Hop Challenge #50. This first mini was created using several sets {**NOTE:: I think I could have double entered it in the IHHC#50 and the Ippity release challenge #1-3 on 3....but there wasn't any info on double entering. EH!}. I love this card--I paper pieced each book [Ippity Books A Flutter] and glittered the butterfly for extra pizazz. The background stamp is Ippity's Book It! The tag is also Ippity [Snippity of Ippity] and the sentiment is from Faith Blooms. I really used a lot of different sets for this card!! And it's a mini--2.5x3.5 inches!

This last card was created with an idea of making it a pull-tab card....but I couldn't find one tutorial on how to make one! There were other tabbed cards...but not what I was looking for. So I made this card (mini--2.5x 3.5) into a cover envelope with a pull tab insert. I love that front--I wanted to make those plants look like live coral. So I flocked one [Ippity's Fishy Philosophy] and fussy cut the other making it 3D. The inside was stamped with the fish and the sentiment from Ippity's new set How YOU Doin'. LOVE LOVE LOVE this pull tab! 

**NOTE:: I WILL take better pics--this was so late last night with no natural lighting. ETA: Updated--and I smeared the flocking! LOL! Oh well!

That's it for me today! I really had fun playing with my stamps again--and I cleaned my desk off! Wait until you see pics...although, I don't have any from before. Eh. LOVE it! Love sharing with you! LOVE LOVE LOVE my Unity and Ippity stamps;} Be blessed!

EIC #115 {Queen of Tarts Cakes}

Hello, friends:} 


I am sooooooo glad to be back for another EtsyInspired challenge!! I was super excited about our featured store this week--Queen of Tarts Cakes! They make cookies!! I love love love these sugar cookies {MMM}! And our sponsor this week is InchieArts. They sent the EtsyInspired DT some goodie bags to play with! 

My first creation is a thankful mini book. I was inspired by this batch of thanksgiving decorated cookies. I used two of the inchies {matteboard} for the covers. I covered the front/back with some DCWV fall patterned papers and filled the inside with coordinating cardstock. Super cute--and I used my Unity Oct. 10 KOTM for the pumpkin and sentiment! LOVE IT! 

I made this next card with inchies as well! I was inspired by these super cute winter cookies. They look good enough to eat:} I covered them with solid cardstock and stamped the Ippity snowflake [Season of Joy] all over them. I also used Unity's Nov. 10 KOTM for the sentiment. I just couldn't help but flock those mittens to make them look like they were made from wool. LOVE IT! And it's a mini card--so fun and quick to make:}

The last card I created was was inspired by these party cookies for a one year old. It reminded me that my little niece, Alli, will be turning one at the end of this month! So I made this shaped card just for her. I also created it for the Wee Memories challenge {patterned paper}. I love that flocked bunny! SO CUTE! I used Unity's bunny and sentiments [Sentiments O' Simple]. I know she will love this card--it's totally HER!

And here is the same card with natural lighting--maybe you can see the flocking better...?

That's it for me today! But don't worry--there are SOOOO MANY fabulous creations on the EtsyInspired DT members' blogs! You have got to stop by and leave them some love!
