Monday {Ippity} Hippity Hop!

Happy Monday everyone! Today I have a few cards to share with you!

My first card uses Ippity's Just Wanted to Say set. I used Sketch #FTL 76 at Clean & Simple Stamping sketches blog. I really enjoyed using this quick and easy sketch. My card also made CAS Fav of the week at Splitcoast Stampers! Whoot!! Products used: SU cs and ribbon, K & Co dp, Kaiser pearls, MS butterfly punch, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Versamark and Stampendeous embossing powder.

My next card again uses Ippity's Just Wanted To Say set. This card was so much fun to make! I used my Silhouette to cut out the card, covered the top with Doodlebug Sugar Coated pink glitter, added Liquid Pearls for the sprinkles and used my Fiskars Crimper for the cupcake liner. Extra products used: Twine, u/k eyelet, SU cs, ink and punches, Ippity Burnt Umber ink, Glossy Accents for the cherry and u/k ribbon.

Here's a pick of the inside which pulls out of the cupcake liner. I used my SU scallop border punch and Happy Birthday was cut on my Silhouette and then stamped with the #stamp from Ippity's Because of You set.

My next card is a CAS card using Ippity's Because of You set. I stamped the flower a couple of times, coloured it in with my Primsa pencils and then added some dimension by layering a few pieces with pop-dots. The scalloped cs was cut on my Silhouette. Extra products used: Memento and Ippity's Burnt Umber ink, twine, SU punches and cs.

Here's a peek at the inside. I used Ippity's Just Wanted To Say set for the sentiment.

Monday {Ippity} Hippity Hop

Happy Monday peeps! I have a few cards and a project to share with you for today's {Ippity} hop!



My first card was prepared for last week's {Ippity} hip hop challenge to make a shaped card using Ippity's Straight from the Heart set. Products used: Bazzill cs, Nestabilities, SU ribbon and ink, u/k eyelet and Stickles.

My next three projects are 3 of the 4 projects we did at my {Ippity} workshop this past Saturday!

This watercoloured card uses Ippity's Straight From the Heart set, GCD Studio dp, SU cs, watercolor crayons and border punch, Canson watercolour paper, dewdrops, Fiskars border punch and heart punch, Stickles, Ippity Burnt Umber ink and dollar store novelty clothespin.

This project was inspired by Beate Johns' tutorial for Treat Bag covers on Splitcoaststampers which can be found here! I used Ippity's Because of You and Straight from the Heart sets. Products used: SU and Paper Company cs, Ippity Moulin Rouge and Burnt Umber inks, SU ribbon, border punch and piercing pack

My last card uses Ippity's Simply Home set. I've done this card before (with machine stitching) but wanted to show my workshop ladies the fun of stamping on fabric! Products used: SU cs, copic markers, twine, Ippity Burnt Umber and Noir inks, muslin fabric from Fabricland and SU piercing mat pack.

I'd like to thank all of my wonderful friends who attended my first {Ippity} workshop for making it so much fun and such a success! Everyone purchased and brought home some new {Ippity} with them! I'm looking forward to our next gathering!
