Love Should Be Returned

Hello to all the Ippity Hoppers today.

All H{Ippity}Hop participants can be found on the

Ippity Blog.

Today I have some cards made with two sets.

LOVE IN RETURN

and

WHERE YOU SHOULD BE

I was making some cards with other stamps that I own

and I got to thinking if I could recreate the look

I was achieving with my Ippity stamps.

This is what I came up with.

I liked how it turned out,

but I wanted to take it a step further and

challenge myself to recreate the card in a different colour.

So using exactly the same stamps I made a few more.

Like this one.

And this one.

And lastly, I wanted to recreate the card but in a bold style. 

Despite being almost the exact same card as each other,

I find they each evoke a different feel.

 I have a few recipients in mind who suit the different cards

depending on their personality.

This is the first time I sat down and created in this way

 and I have to say I quite enjoyed the journey!

I ended up making about ten of these cards

 all in different colour ways.

You should try it sometime.

These stamp sets can be purchased right here off this blog.

LOVE IN RETURN

WHERE YOU SHOULD BE.

Remember all prices are in Australian dollars

 and postage within Australia is still free.

Whereever you happen to be in the world today,

 I hope it is a good day for you!

Enjoy your creativity!

Just Wanted To Say Something With Kaiser

Hello!

It's that time of the week for another Hippity Hop.

Hop on over to The Ippity Blog for a full list of participating stampers

 and get inspired to create with Ippity stamps.

My little tale of woe for this week is one that we are all to familiar with

 and that is an annoying lack of time to pursue our hobbies.

I signed up for this weeks hop very late, and still no card made to show off.

So my challenge to myself this week was to be able to make a couple of quick cards.

I had a very tight time budget.

 One hour to make cards and get them photographed before the daylight faded.

I used the Ippity Stamp set

JUST WANTED TO SAY

A great set with a variety of useful sentiments for making quick cards

So to make a quick card I just stamped the sentiment and let the pretty paper from a 6x6 Kaiser paper pad do most of the decorative 'work'.

The pad also came with some diecuts - too easy

when it comes to added a bit a of a decorative border or a tag! 

JUST WANTED TO SAY

And now for a special message to all the Aussie visitors to this post.

You can purchase this great rubber stamp set from me by clicking on the title link.

All listed prices are in Australian Dollars

There are other great sets as well,

so why don't you do yourself a favour and check them out as well.

Remember I still have free postage to Australian addresses. 

Looking ahead, I can see that I'll have some spare time next Monday!

Oh dear, thats so far away.

To all those who get time to create this week - good luck to you.

To all the others, just make something quick anyway.

It's A Matter Of Mostly Making Cards.

Welcome to this weeks Hippity Hop,

a blog hop showing you a great variety of stamping styles using Ippity Stamps.

A full list of participants can be found every Monday on the Ippity Blog.

So go and check it out and be inspired by the creativity.

This week I made a series of three cards using

WHAT MATTERS MOST

I like to sit down with a chosen stamp set,

a limited selection of card stack, papers and tools

and see what I can come up with.

This wek I used a blender pen to colour all my images.

This is currently my favoured way of colouring.

I love this half tree image!

It's great standing out on its own or used as a decorative corner frame,

like I did with this card.

I only had a tiny piece of the patterned paper to work with on all three cards,

so I really needed to create a way to make it 'stretch'.

For this last card, I offset my panels within the larger frame

 and created my own patterned paper

by repeat stamping the butterflies on the two border pieces.

WHAT MATTERS MOST

I'd say this is one of my most favourite Ippity stamp sets

because I just love that tree stamp

(Truth be told I've yet to meet a Unity tree image I don't like. I'm drawn to their trees!!)

I've used this set to make a variety of cards, including this years Easter cards.

Very versatile!

If you live in Australia and you'd like to own this set,

you can purchase it thru me right here off this blog, by clicking  the set title link above.

Greetings Of The Regal Kind

Hi and welcome to another Ippity Blog Hop.

I hope you all had a lovely Easter.

Today I have a couple of cards to show you.

I made this for the Splitcoast Stampers Sketch Challenge.

There were five layers to this sketch, but if you look closely you'll notice that I've only got three layers.

Layers three and four (from the base up) are in fact masked, stamped and sponged onto the second layer.

This is a good option if you want to keep your card flat.

This card was made for the Clean and Simple Challenge, also at Splitcoast.

What could be more regal and elegant than a card made in the colours of purple?

Both of these cards where made with

REGAL GREETINGS
