Tuesday Trigger on a Sunday

When I saw this week's Tuesday Trigger I was taken back to memories of some beautiful old lace that my grandmother had.  Lace that my mother had hand appliquéd on my wedding dress, along with a scattering of seed pearls.

I knew exactly what I wanted to do and it came together quickly...which is a good thing as the challenge is due today!  A bit of winter white cardstock, a pearl, some sheer ribbon and a touch of gold completed this card.  The stamps are from {ippity} and I added a touch of vintage with Antique Linen distress ink.

Thanks for stopping by, till next time...

Monday, Monday...

Hello everyone, time for another h{ippity} hop, so it must be Monday!  Without further ado, here are the cards I'm sharing with you:

First is a card based on the color challenge at The Play Date Cafe: A photo inspiration with shades of orange pink and yellow.  I used some old My Mind's Eye paper (possibly Wild Asparagus) I had in my stash, added images from You Deserve , Bitty Pixie Paisley and A Moment in Time.  A bit of ribbon, some dew drops and pink rhinestones finish it off. 

Next is a card based on sketch # 87 at Card Patterns.  Papers are from 7 Gypsies, images are from Fall For You , A Bit of Burlap (the texture on the pumpkin) and the House a Home set.  Lace, grosgrain ribbon, a vintage button and some twine finish it off.

All {ippity} stamp sets are available for purchase right Here!

Thanks for stopping by, have a great week!  Till next time...

Countdown to Camp!

Only three days left till camp - scrapbook camp that is!  Thursday morning I'll be leaving for 4 fun filled days of scrapbooking, laughter, a viewing of "When Harry Met Sally"  and very little sleep, I can't wait!  I stayed up late last night (much to late!) working on a few cards to share today.  The first card is for the color challenge at Play Date Cafe, and what a challenge it is!  After 3 separate (unsuccessful) attempts I decided whimsical was the way to go with this color combo (not a direction I veer off in too often) and for the first time I inked up "A Little Buggy" . Phew, that was difficult!

The second card came a bit easier for me.  I used this week's sketch at Card Patterns and this week's Color Throwdown of Melon Mambo, Pacific Point and River Rock. Patterned paper is from Echo Park, Stamps are from the set "You Deserve" and I finished it off with some stitching , pearls and trim.

Next up is Chris, and the full listing of blog participants can be found Here!
All the {ippity} stamps used in today's cards (and many more) can be purchased on my Stamp{ippity} site, come on by for a visit!

It's Here!

The long awaited Summer release is here and I have to say, without a doubt, it's the best yet!  To purchase the new release {ippity} stamps, (or any of the previous releases) click here! 

 The card I have to share with you today uses three of the new sets: The sunshine from Quotes a'la Happy, the adorable Herringbone corner from "You Deserve..." and a sentiment from "So This is Love".  When I saw this sentiment I just knew it would be the first stamp of the release that saw ink! Papers are in the new summer pack and are by Echo Park.  (adorable!)

Thanks for stopping by, your visits and comments are much appreciated!  I'd love it if you'd drop by my {ippity} sales site - I've done some much needed housekeeping in there.  (Still a work in progress though!)  All new release sets are in stock and ready to be shipped to your home!
Till next time...
