Happy Monday Everyone! It's a Linky Day!!

Good Morning to all! I hope that you all had a great weekend!

I have a card to share with you today using I think what is ending up to be my favorite kit from the new release! "New Season,New Wonder"!

I am linking this card on the {ippity} blog hop the link is here. So please feel free to link up your recent creations using {ippity} stamps!
And today I am also linking the project with another link up blog hop at Made it Myself Mondays!

 The design paper is from October Afternoon, the tag is from Graphic 45. I thought the clocks and the cherry on the tag matched the cherries and the sentiment from the {ippity} kit just perfect! The frame behind the tag and the image of the cherries is also a Unity stamp called polka dot journal.

 So the cherries and the sentiment are from "New season New Wonder". I stamped the cherries using Memento ink markers,which made it easier to color the stems green without having to mask the image of the cherries first. I did use a huffing technique to keep the image moist enough so it enabled me to emboss the image with clear embossing powder. The card stock is from GinaK designs pure luxury.

Here are all the stamps that you get in this new set! Quite a few stamps!! And they are so much fun to play with and perfect for summer! And I have them in stock waiting for good inky homes! ;)

 The journal frame is available on the Unity website here.

I hope that you like it!

So in honor of that I am going to be giving you a FREE gift for ordering from me! But more details at the end of the post! :D

I wanted to share with you some note cards that I did using the Newly Released set " Flowers+Friends=Priceless".

The cardstock is from GinaK,the dp is from serendipity. I also used tuxedo black memento ink and colored the flowers with copics.

Just a simple little set. I am going to do 2 more cards for this set using another New Release "New Season,New Wonder". I will post those on my face book page in a little bit!
I hope you like them!

Okay now for the FREE extra gift!! I know you have been in suspense,right!? " :D

Well, I have some  stamps that I am going  to give away for FREE! YAY!
These are random stamps,they are not in their packaging. BUT they are BRAND NEW,never been used,just waiting for someone special to receive them and use them with ink!! :D
They are {ippity} stamps,and I will try to give you stamps that you have not ordered from me before!

{ippity} Hip Hop!

Hi Everyone!

It is a {ippity} Link it Hip Hop!

I have some Father's Day place cards that I am working on and thought I would share! I will be back later today to edit this as soon as I have the rest of them done.
My Daughter's are going to cook a Father's Day dinner for us and some Dear Friends, so I thought that I would do some place cards,and the New {ippity} release has just the right images!

The sets that I used were: Flowers + Friends = Priceless, and....

 the Man. I thought that the shirt made a great image for all of the men, and I will use the flowers for the Ladies!

I will be back later this morning and add the rest of the Ladies cards.
If you have time I would love for you to check out my last post as well. I did a guestbook for my girlfriend that I would love your feed back on. I have never done a book and would love to know what you think! I used a variety of stamps, but of course Unity and {ippty} were involved!! LOL

Thank you for stopping by!
Have a great week.

Blessings and Hugs,
Mary

Made it Myself Monday!

Happy Monday Everyone!

Today I am participating in the "Made it Myself Monday Blog Hop"!
You can find out all the details about it Here!




I wanted to show you the rest of the Guestbook that I am working on for my Girlfriend!
I re-did some of it,and took better pictures. The journaling pages are done and I think it is actually going to get put into the mail for her today!! :)
(edited: Just added this ribbon for a closure. what do you think? added an eyelet and then knotted the ribbon on the inside of front and back.)

I have used a variety of stamps,the majority being from Unity,{ippity}, Eat Cake Graphics and Hero Arts, as well as Stampscapes and Technique Tuesday (one of the journaling stamps)
Some of the pages are listed in the post below,so I won't show them all again this time.
I will keep this short since I know that there will be a lot of crafty goodness to see!

Something a Little different!

Hi Everyone!

Today I have a project that is a little different for me!
This is a Guest Book that I am working on for my girlfriend who bought a lake cabin in Northern Minnesota. She wanted something that her friends and family could sign each time they come and leave her little comments or memories.
I haven't added the pages for the comments yet, but the rest of it is complete. I am just going to cut out 3 1/2" x 4" pages and stamp them with a journal stamp from Unity. I will show that when it is done.

So these are just a few of the pages! I have used a variety of companies as far as stamps. Hero Arts,Stampscape, Eat Cake Graphics, {ippity} (love the sun!! from Quotes ala Happy) and the little tabs I made using the new release from {ippity} "The Best". I will show you more pages and explain everything a little better later.
I have to run right now. Hope you like this so far!

Blessings and Hugs,
Mary

It's RELEASE DAY!!

Good Morning Everyone!
It is FINALLY here! It is the Summer Release of {ippity} stamps!

5 NEW SETS!!
Here is my example using the sets "The Man" and "The Best".

The sentiment is from "The Best", and the shirt from "The Man". I paper pieced the tie and the collar for added dimension. Used my Tim Holtz hammer on the "nail heads"...(may have had a little to much gusto with those!! haha!) I used a cuttlebug folder for the background. The sentiments that make up the background paper are also from "The Man".

The main sentiment is from "The Best"....I have to tell you that when I opened that set I was so surprised at how BIG the stamps were in this set! Just perfect!

I will be back with more samples using these new sets! I hope that you love them as much as I do!!

To celebrate the New Release I am going to have FREE SHIPPING on all purchases until next Saturday the 11th of June!
And anyone who orders by tonight will be placed into a drawing for something good!!

Please see my {ippity} sale page for a list of all the sets now available!
I am stocked and ready to help you!
A FREE 6x6 sample pack of paper with each order,and of course some extra little goodies that I hope you will like!

Talk to you soon!
Blessings and Hugs,
Mary

New Season New Wonder

Hi Everyone!

Here is the first sample using the new {ippity} release "New Season,New Wonder".

I used the "sweet" Cherries in the set to do a card that can be quickly reproduced so that a little gift set could be made!
The card could be used for a variety of occasions from just a little thinking of you to a Birthday or even a Thank you note!

I hope you like it!

                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Be Back soon,

Hugs,
