Ippity, some Pink Paislee and SSSC66

Hi everyone!  I have a CAS card to share.  My card is totally inspired by this gorgeous creation by Amy Sheffer - I just love how she did the tone on tone cardstock with the stitching around the edges!  Amy, you ROCK!

I haven't used my favorite Ippity set, Where You Should Be in awhile, so I thought it was time to get it inky.  I stamped the sentiment in Chocolate Chip and the blossom branch in Soft Sky over it.  I added a touch of a light orange Copic marker to each blossom circle to bring in the orange just a bit.

My card uses the Sweet Sunday sketch #66.  LOVE this sketch!  In fact, I used a variation of it to make a set of cards that I can't share with you all right now.  But I digress... my card uses the new paper from Pink Paislee, 365 Degrees.  LOVIN' the orange and blues of this line!  I used some Burlap String for the center of the button -I just love finishing off my buttons!!

I haven't talked about my Ippity sales in awhile.  After I stepped down from the DT, I was asked by several people if I would still sell Ippity.  Well the answer is YES!  You bet I am!  I absolutely love Ippity and my stepping down had nothing to do with the stamps.  In fact, I just received a new shipment and am fully stocked with the Winter release and a couple from the Fall release.  Please check out my Ippity Sales blog to find details on pricing, shipping, accessory kits and my current sale!!

3 Challenge cards in Gossamer

Hi everyone!  I have 3 challenge cards to share with you today.  All using the amazing new pattern paper, Gossamer from Memory Box!  Sigh, this paper is my new love...  Rachel just started her storewide 25% discount sale and is sold out, but if you move fast I think there are some Spearmint pads left!!

This first card is for this week's This card is for this week's SCS Featured Stamper challenge -to CASE Pat Smethers!! I chose this lovely card of her's to case.

I changed the image, border punch, accent flowers, but kept the same feel to the card.   My card uses one of my neglected Crafty Secret's sets, Wildflowers.  I used the embossed butterfly dies from SU!  and the flower dies are the Beautiful Blooms II #1 from PTI.  I colored the image with Copics and added Kaiser pearls in Chino.

My next card uses Karen's Sweet Sunday sketch and since I had my Wildflowers set on the desk, I used the other sentiment in it. The glittered chipboard hearts are from Melissa Frances and the rose is a Sweet blossom by Zva Creative.  All the pretty pink pearls are from Memory Box and the silk ribbon is from the Stamp Simply Ribbon store. 

 And lastly, this card is for the Card Patterns Sketch #59. I used Verve's Feel the Sun set! Man, I LOVE this set, so beautiful! Guys, see what I MEAN about the paper?  So soft and lovely... happy sigh...  AND, again with the 1/4" silk ribbon!  Isn't it perfect with the paper?  Very delicate and it makes the most beautiful bows!!  You can find it in many colors from the Stamp Simply Ribbon store.

 

Thank you all so much for stopping by and have a great day!

A couple sketch cards

Hi everyone! I have a couple sketch cards to share with you today. First up, Karen's Sweet Sunday sketch. I love the simplicity of this week's sketch. And now that Karen is one of my fellow HSE SWEETIES, I need to make time play along more and support my girl!!

I used my new favorite pattern paper (sorry Early Bird, can't do shabby chic with you), Devonshire by KaiserCraft. I used some lace from my stash and the beautiful flower blooms are from Verve's new set, Feel the Sun. The sentiment is from Big Wish -told you this set would be my GO TO set for birthday sentiments!

All the flowers are stamped and pieced from pattern paper, I even found a piece that was embossed with Swiss Dots tucked in my scraps! I thought it added some texture and used it on 2!

Next up is a card for today's SCS sketch challenge. I used the cute masculine set from Skipping Stones design -I can't find the name and link to the set right now, but I will add it as soon as I can find it. I created the background from the many screw, hammer, bolts, and screwdriver images -even the tread panel is a stamp!

The pattern paper is Archaic from Basic Grey. I rediscovered this paper as I was cleaning out my Basic Grey stash! I love the patterns in this pad.

Thanks for stopping by.
