Wednesday Wowzer Thursday!

Hello Everyone, It’s me Wednesday’s Child on a Thursday.  Yesterday was the new release BLOG HOP, so I am posting today instead.

I made up a pretty card to say farewell to a retiring co-worker.

I am using the set called Flowers + Friends = Priceless.

As many times as I have used this set, I never tire of it.

I couldn’t find an “I miss you” sentiment quickly enough, so I used some mini type letters.

Hopefully there is enough room for lots of people to sign their names.

My papers are from a past Deena Ziegler card kit. I love grabbing my kits when I am in a hurry.  I always use my own design but at least the guess work of the colors and paper matching is done and I get to focus on the design of the card instead!

I hope I have WOW’d you even if it is Thursday!  This has been Jeannie posting for I Heart {ippity}, have a great day!

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.

Wedesday Wowzer with {ippity} and Momenta

Today I have teamed up with a ton of my paper products from MOMENTA and have made a very bright and cheery card for you.

Am using Mojo Monday’s sketch # 236.

Here is the sketch.

I turned it upside down, like this, for my card.

I am using the {ippity} set called, Flowers + Friends = Priceless.

My decorative papers are from a pad called Kaleidoscopic.

It was so fun to match the inks to the Kaleidoscopic colors scheme and the flowers from the {ippity} set matched the papers perfectly.

The colors are so bright and cheery, don’t you agree?

Here is one more look…

Have I told you lately that I love {ippity}?  So much so, I did try out for the Unity Design Team call…whether I am in the right league or not, I don’t know.

But for me, I have to really love something to try out for their team.

Unity Stamps are just so much fun to work with.

I will have some new sets to play with by next week, so come back and visit then

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!

Head on over to I Heart {ippity} we have such creative gals!

I love everything they make, every week.

Go and see for yourself.

Have a great day and remember this is the season of giving, not the season of stress and greed!  Relax and enjoy and don’t get caught up in the worldly view of this season.

Have a wonderful Wednesday.

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!
