Friends with Flair & {ippity} News

Just a quick post today to share a card and let you know that there are big changes coming to {ippity} stamps!

This card has fabric, twine, buttons, cork....you name it.  Yet it still doesn't look too busy.

The tiny hearts at the bottom are the remnants of some die cut tags with heart cutouts.

The twine is available HERE, of course.  I now have 9 colors of rustic jute twine/string available.

The tree stamp is from the Bella Blvd line at Unity - Country Tree.

I left it pretty plain on this card, but it really has lots of great potential...

{ippity}

It's been quiet for a little bit, and some things are changing.

These are good changes!

Change is good!!

I will still be carrying the stamps and will now have them in my Etsy shop!!

Many of you who have ordered stamps from me have also ordered things you have seen in the shop (thank you so much for that!)

 - now it will be one-stop shopping for you.

There will only be 50 individuals selling {ippity} stamps worldwide!!!

New stamps will be released EVERY MONTH now!!

Stay tuned for more details and the new releases coming soon!!

Friends with Flair Friday Combo

 Happy Friday everyone!!  It is Friends with Flair Friday over on the Unity blog and I have cards to share this week!

Both cards are kind of a combo card in that the images are Unity, but the sentiments are from other places.  I do a lot of mix and matching with my stamps to find the perfect combinations for my cards.  Probably the reason my stamp area gets so messy! :)

Anyway, the images are both from different Unity kits that I have.

The heart below is from Dutch Mustard Soup

The bumble bee above is from Just Be You - Unity Kit of the Month, Dec '10

Both cards also showcase the Divine Twine I have available in full spools, 10 yard quantities, or cute little sampler packs in my Etsy shop HERE!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!!  Happy Easter too!

It's been a while since I have posted, again...

Tonight I have another Paper Smooches card to share.  Another simple layout and some Copic coloring.

I used two different Paper Smooches sets:

Friendly Flowers

Sentiment Sampler

To finish it off, I added a little bit of the new dark brown twine I have available in my Etsy shop now.

I have been busy with the shop and adding more product.

Some of what's been added are new paper treat bags in different colors and prints:

 I've got pink and chocolate frosting....

 These super cute tiny notebook design treat bags.....

 More for goodies....

And.....dots and stripes!

All available HERE!

Bloggers Day of Silence...please read!

I am subscribed to several blogs and one update came my way yesterday that I felt I should pass on.....

A couple of bloggers have joined together:

Ever Ours

&

Utterly Engaged

They have started a campaign to aid Japan in their time of need - For Japan With Love

We have all seen the devastation.

I feel a need to do something, and this caught my eye.

My blog will remain "silent" tomorrow March 18th

AND

I have made a donation toward their Shelter Box fundraising campaign.

It is amazing to me that they were aiming for $5,000 and have already passed $11,000!!

Please join me in silence!!

Some Paper Smooches for Tuesday!

A fun little flowery card to share today with all of my blog readers.....

Something new - stamps from Paper Smooches!

Kim Hughes is now selling her own line of stamps and her images are so fun!

I love how cute (and versatile) they all are.

I got the Friendly Flowers kit to start (I'm sure I will be buying more) and there are so many possibilities with these images its just crazy. 

For this card, I paper pieced this super sweet plaid flower.

I added some cotton muslin fabric as a bow and accented with some scallops.

Missing You - FWF

Got a chance last weekend to get a little "crafty" and make some cards.

They don't get much simpler than this one.

All Kraft, brown ink, white ink, and some colored pencils.

The stamps I used:

Bit of Burlap / {Ippity}

This stamp is currently available through me for only $4!  Quantities limited.)

Love Runs Deep / Unity

I love the look of white on Kraft and sponged around the burlap image and edges of the card to soften it a little.  The card looks much better in person than in the photograph.

Have a great Friday and wonderful weekend!!

Hello...

2 Days in a row..........wow, can't believe it myself!

Here is another very simple card I put together using some of the

Core'dinations cardstock I recently won.

Yes, I won it!  Hard to believe because I never win anything, but I won a sample package of this cardstock and I also just recently won a box full of stuff from Zutter!

On the card, I used the lighter and darker blue.  When the darker blue is sanded, it looks just like denim.

There is a strip of torn cotton muslin fabric in there too.

I wrapped each die cut (Labels 1) with some Ivory Rustic Twine,

then stamped my sentiment (from Unity).

More super simple cards coming soon....

REMINDER:

I still have lots of {ippity} kits at really low prices......

see them all HERE.
