{ippity} challenge - bling and sparkle

I did this "Just a Note" card for the {ippity} challenge - Bling and Sparkle. It was kind of hard to capture, but the flower centers have gem centers to them and the button on the bow has a gem as well :)

I went back to my favorite {ippity} stamp set Now and Always. I stamped the flower in blue ink and then matted it on chocolate card to give some contrast. Some ribbon and sentiment completed the card.

I was totally inspired by the colors in the Tuesday Trigger Image. The beautiful White polka dotted Lime color and the Orange/Yellow Background.

Here is a close up of my card. I used a lime green card stock and stamped polka dots on it using PTI Polka Dots stamp set with PTI Fresh Snow Ink. Loved how this turned out.

Hello, I love you

Hello Friends, It's Monday and time for {ippity} Hop. Please stop by at the {ippity} blog to see the complete list of participants.

Here is my card using Because Of You. I seem to be using this stamp for all my projects lately :)

I used the CPS Sketch #202 for this card. I cut out the flowers from the set and matted them with some Red CS and the sentiment completed the card. I thought of adding some stickles to the flowers, but they were looking quite good as they were, so did not add the stickles. Although my cutting could use some more practice :)

If you have some good cutting tips so as to not leave jagged edges, please do leave me a comment.

Please stop by at the {ippity} blog to see the complete list of participants.

Here is a simple card that I made for the Hop using {ippity} Delightful Little Things.

In retrospect, I should have used a darker card base so that the patterned paper would show up better and also used some glitter on those small flowers in the sentiment. Next time :)

I used Sweet Sunday Sketch #99 for this card. Here is the sketch,

Cinema Saturday Creative challenge #99 - Edward Scissorhands

Cinema Saturday Challenge #99 is Edward Scissorhands. I have not seen this movie although Johnny Depp is my fav actor. So after seeing the challenge, I went and looked up in Youtube and found some trailers. I saw an overwhelming black and white that Edward wears in the movie and him being unique due to his Scissorhands, so those two inspired this card. It does look kind of plain in retrospect, maybe I can give it another try :)

I die cut that label shape from PTI Dies and then added some doodling around the edge. The image "Original" is from the {ippity}Stamp set - Love in Return. Patterned Paper is from My minds eye

I also used the Card Patterns Sketch #86 for this card.

 

Thanks for Stopping by,

Stamp - {ippity} Love in Return

I used this Sun and Bird image from Quotes a'la Happy along with Sweet Sunday Sketch #89.

I colored the bird image with copics and added some highlights with copic spica glitter pens. I think I am Stamp-a-ma-jig challenged. After several tries, I was still stamping the bird image slightly crooked. So, this last attempt, I left it as is.

Please click here to see and order {ippity} stamps.

Here is my card for today's hop,

I did this card for the Cinema Saturday Challenge #98 - The inspiration movie is Dead Poet's Society. This is one of my favorite movies and I had to play along with it. I loved one of the scenes in the movie where Robin Williams who is the professor tells the students to rip out a page from a book as it does not really tell them how to understand a poem. So, I kind of ripped the patterned paper on this card. Also I used some text script and music notes paper from October Afternoon to kind of represent the school, poems etc. This sentiment from {ippity} Where You Should Be set was perfect for this card. The CSC Challenge was also to use felt on the card. I cut up some brown felt using the PTI Ric Rac Die and add that to the card as well.

I used Unscripted Sketch #76 for this card.

Supplies:
Stamp - {ippity} Where you should be
Paper - PTI Kraft and White CS, October Afternoon Patterned Paper
Ink - Memento Black, Memento Rich Cocoa, PTI Chai Inking Cube
Other - Colorbok Brads, PTI Ric Rac Die, PTI Dark Chocolate Felt

Monday {ippity} Hop

It is a Moxie Fab {ippity} Hop. I have a few cards to share with you using the versatile {ippity} Stamps and done for the Moxie Fab World Challenges. Please stop by at the {ippity} blog for complete list of participants.

1) This is the card that I did for the Moxie Fab World Offset Scallop Gallop Challenge,

I used the Fishy Philosophy set from {ippity} for this card.

I stamped the Coral Images using Ranger DI - Shabby Shutters on Light blue CS. Then I layered Different blue scallop borders. Sponged the edge of the last blue border with some more Shabby Shutters Ink. Then I stamped the sentiment in Memento Black. A few fish cut out and popped up on foam dots completed the card,

2) This second card is done for Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger - Not Your Square Granny Squares and also for the Jolly Holiday Greeting cards challenge,

I punched out these Hexagonal shapes and adhered them in a line and added some pizzaz with the EK Success Snow flakes border punch. The sentiment is from {ippity} Season Of Joy Set.


3)Last but not least, I did this tag for the Moxie Fab World - The All Wrapped up challenge.

I used a Ranger Tag, and distressed it with Ranger DI - Spiced Marmalade, Crushed Olive and Dusty Concord and then I stamped the two snowflake images from {ippity} Season of Joy in Ranger DI -Barn Door and Stormy Sky. I added a piece of Grunge board that I painted with some Red Pepper Acrylic Ink.

I stamped the frame from {ippity} Season of Joy and cut it out by hand - as I do not have the companion nestabilities. But it was very easy to cut it out by hand and the sentiment stamped in the frame completed the tag.
