Wednesday Wowzer

It has been a whirlwind of a week for me and things have calmed slightly enough for me to create for today’s post.

Today I am using one of my favorite {ippity} sets called:

Flowers + Friends = Priceless

I made this card to go along with the challenge over on the

Get Hippity with Ippity site

Challenge 21 called Flower & Leaf.

I call this card a 4 square card.

By no means did I make the card up, but the directions I had from a well published book were so lousy,

I had yo recreate the card by sheer luck.

It gathers and closes and opens like a box lid.  Here is what it looks like on the inside opened up.

You can put what ever kind of sentiment or note you want to on the inside.

On the front you have 4 mini panels to decorate.

You can use it as a large panel or break it down into 4 small ones like I have.

What do you think?

Isn’t this a cute card and pattern?  And those flower stamps??  Get OUT!!  They are the best!!

Gotta love {ippity}!

I also want to point out the delectable goodies from these other companies I am using with this project.

All embossing powders are by Wow Embossing Powders.  Love the glitter ones especially!!

All paper is from Momenta. Kaleidascope

Square die and floral embossing plate by Cheery Lynn Designs.

Mother Daughter Wednesday Wowzer Time

I had a busy work week so far and my daughter was so sweet to try and do my card for this post. while I was at work tonight.

I will show her card after I show you the card I was able to come up with before going to bed.

It’s so much fun to get new stamps in the mail to play with.

I can’t show you this whole set, but I am using one of the sentiments, from this set, for this card.

The set is called Let your Heart Take Flight.

I am going to enter this in the Unity Opportunity Challenge called JUST SAY IT, Focus on Sentiments.

Since the sentiment is supposed to be the star of the card, I kept the rest of the card pretty simple.

Using paper from My Minds Eye Dolled Up and dies from Cheery Lynn Designs…I think the card is perfect for the challenge.  It also will go along with the challenge that is up on the GHWI blog, GHWI Challenge #18.

I had a busy work week so far and my daughter was so sweet to try and do my card for this post.

She tried to focus on the sentiments also, by stamping them on white.

She used the {ippity} set called:  Straight From the Heart.

Here is her card: (She is 13 & I think she did pretty good for her age group!)

So there you have it…a mother and daughter post for you today on this Wednesday Wowzer.

This has been Jeannie DeGruccio from The Polka Cabana with today’s post.

Wednesday Wowzer Time

Today I am sharing a card that our own {ippity} Heather has challenged us with.  You can find the challenge HERE.

Here is the sketch for the challenge.

Here is what I have created based on the sketch.

I have used 2 different sets on this card.  The sets are called,  Time for Friends and Your Friendship, My Cup of Tea.

I am also using my super yummy Embossing Powders from WOW Embossing Powders.

I loved the sketch.  I hope you like this card, I LOVE IT!  Polka Dots & Cherries, how can I go wrong with those, right?

Well that is it for me today!

ALSO….A BONUS CARD!!

This is using an itty, bitty, {ippity},(say that 3 times fast!!) called HAPPY.

You all know my love affair with Roy G. Biv and this phrase sang Roy G. Biv to me!

All those flowers are hand made by me using the fabulous die called Cuties 2. Th background flourish(my favorite) is called Fanciful Flourish. Both dies are by Cheery Lynn Designs.

This card I plan on entering into the NEW BEGINNINGS Challenge. You can read about that challenge here…wish me luck!!

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

  See you next week!

Here is what I came up with, it is a tag since I intend to enter this in the GIFT WRAPPING CHALLENGE on THE UNITY STAMP CHALLENGE  blog.

The tag is inside one of CANVAS CORP’s Mini Bags.

When you pull the bag off, inside is this delightful tag that can double as a bookmark.

Here is a close up.

The branch is from the DEVOTED set and the phrase is from the NEW SEASON, NEW WONDER set.

Wednesday Wowzer PLUS!!

How are you today?

It is ME, you know the blog writer, with a fun new project with some {ippity} stamps.

I can say I do make these things for fun, but it is my effort to invite you over to I Heart {ippity} in hopes that you will try these fun stamps for yourself.

It also happens to be a time for celebration.  Our {ippity} leader in inviting you all to her birthday celebration where she is having some FABULOUS giveaways.

Today I wanted to show you a little ornament I came up with using the set CUPPY CAKES.

I took a Canvas Corp star and stamped the cupcake image onto it…

…I then stamped the cupcake on to various papers from the

My Minds Eye Ooh La La For Her line.

I added some hot fix pink pearls in swirl fashion and made the BABY trinket from Epiphany Crafts Shape Tool that I got the most wonderful deal on from YOUR SCRAPBOOK SUPPLY.

My final touch was to add the dangling beads and a flower made from Cheery Lynn Designs new roll up flower called CUTIES 3.  I made it this way so it could be used as a Baby’s 1st Christmas OR just a BABY of the family ornament.  It could even just be a room decoration, what do you think?

Think outside the box, that seems to be my motto!

Wednesday Wowzer with I Heart {ippity}

How are you today?

(Who am I talking to?)  That is the weird this about blogging, you have no idea if anyone reads this stuff.  On the bright side it gives me license to talk to myself! That’s good enough for me.

Today I wanted to make a Christmassy type card with my {ippity} stamps with a set that is NOT a Christmas set.

I have used the set called Flowers + Friends = Priceless.

I took the flowers and embossed them in white with Stampendous CHUNKY WHITE ENAMEL.

It is supposed to be a shabby chic type feel.  The embossing distorts the image slightly on purpose.

I stamped the leaves in green and embellished with flat back pearls and ribbon.

My final touch was to add the phrase.  I always go to using my DICTION stickers from Authentique Paper.

I do not know what I would do without those little guys.

So there you have it.

Do you have stamps that are not “Christmas” stamps that you can try this technique with?

Think outside the box, that seems to be my motto!

Thursday Thoughtfulness with I Heart {ippity}

I wanted to make a quick post for I Heart {ippity}.

I just got done making a very fun card.

I used the set called Flowers + Friends = Priceless.

Here is what I came up with.

I am using some Authentique Paper from the Free Bird collection called Poised.

What do you think of those flowers?  I hand made each one of those!

I love the way the handmade flowers look with the flower stamps.  I embossed the stamps in a thick black finish.

I tried to create a blanket type feel by fringing the edges of my paper.

Altogether, I love the way this turned out!

I hope you enjoy the things I make, it is the best part of my day to share ideas with you!

Have a thoughtful Thursday and go make your self a great day!

Wednesday Wowzer time!!

This is a quick post to show you my creation with the new {ippity} set called Time for Friends & Wine.

Now don’t get your feathers ruffled.  As you might know, I am a lifetime “never touched the stuff”, Latter Day Saint girl, but this set still has a lot to offer for women like me.

I can think of so many things I could do with this set, that have nothing to do with wine, so if you are like me…just keep on with the post and let me know how you like my card!

I really have no idea who I had in mind when I made this one, but I love it!

I have been using Grafix Arts Shrink Film quite a bit lately.

It’s very addictive! I figure if I am not tired of using it, no one will complain about my finished projects with it!  Right?

For this card I made little trinkets out of 2 of the images from the set.

My idea was to make the others look like cookie cutter versions of each other, but to have one stand out as being an original.

I hope you like what I have made.

I would love for you to see what the other Design Team Members have made with their new sets, or “rub-bah” as our fearless leader Heather calls it!
