Happy Spring Floppy Hoppy!!

Hello there and Happy Saturday my sweet {ippity} friends!  So, tomorrow's the first day of Spring, and I thought I'd continue to carry on with the Spring theme!  Last Tuesday, I highlighted some gorgeous {ippity} projects made with the "Sweet Thoughts of Spring" Stamp set!  You can find those projects right here, and did you catch what Maria made yesterday as a cupcake topper using this set?  It's the most sweetest!!

I love Spring,  and I am so ready for it!!  So, I thought that I'd create this sweet little burlap bunny I saw earlier this week on Scrapscene!  I was so inspired to try making this project, and knew it would be great to match it up with a couple of stamps from our {ippity} "Sweet Thoughts of Spring" stamp set!

I stamped the 'happy spring' sentiment, then punched it with a circle punch.  Then, I stamped the plaid scalloped stamp, just once and cut the scallops out individually.  You will see that I then glued them to the back of the circle punch to create a little scalloped flower.  I pierced a hole and ran some twine through the scalloped flower embellie to make it a hanging necklace to accompany by bunny!   Now I am ready to plop this floppy onto by desk or perhaps onto my coffee table for a sweet springy home decoration!!

Hope this will inspire you to use this stamp set for home decor projects!! This set is perfect for it them!!

Sweet Thoughts of Spring!

Hi there ippity peeps!  Today, we are taking a little break from our regularly scheduled Tuesday {ippity} Blossom post, but we will back next week!

With Spring right around the corner (actually next week..yippee), I thought it would be fun to go back a couple of releases and pull out our "Sweet Thoughts of Spring" {ippity} stamp set!!  Isn't this so adorable?  I think there are so many ways to use this set, to celebrate Spring!!

Here's a little candy treat holder & card  that I made awhile back that showcases the scallops and little chickie! I added some embossing, paper piecing, and felt ribbon to make a fun gift set!

Now, let's highlight some awesome projects from our {ippity} gallery!  And, please click on the links for each of these gorgeous projects, to leave them some EXTRA LOVE!!

I love how the same color ink was used throughout, and can you count how many of the stamps on this set were used?  Amazing is all I can say Andrea..how precious is this card..definitely captures the Spring feeling!!

Next up, is Savannah's fabulous wrapped egg project!  Love the spectacular way Sav incorporated the stamp sentiment around the egg, and the yellow feathers and random pink hearts coloring, is just to cute for words!!

I totally adore cards that have a scenic feel to them!  Again, check out the amount of stamps used from this set!  I love the added bling flowers, the flowers included inside of the basket and the blue highlighting within the bubbled sentiment.  What more can I say about this gorgeous card sweet Mary!

Last, but not least, is this adorable bunny card by Christy!  I love the soft muted colors, along with the egg shape and big purple flower...so very very beautiful!

Hello everyone! Happy Thursday!

It's Heather over here, and I've got a fun, clean and simple tutorial to share with you all today! I had an idea to make easter eggs out of nestabilities dies, so thought I would share this with you in time for Easter!

Sorry I've been MIA for a while, I had actually forgot to post a few weeks back, and hope you can forgive me! Hehehe...Batting my eyelashes over here!

Anyways, for today's tutorial, I used Sweet Thoughts of Spring. I just love this cute cute adorable stamp set!

Step 1: Cut your eggs using dies... Step 2: You'll end up with 3 layers but will only use 2. (I used double sided paper)Step 3: Stamp your image on your neutral cardstock.Step 4: After you've colored your image, adhere to cardstock layer.

Step 5: Use pop up dots or dimensionals to add your windowed egg layer.

Step 6: Embelsh to your liking.
Step 7: Ta-DAH!I hope you all will enjoy this fun and simple tutorial! Sorry for the weird pictures, I'm not very good at taking pictures for a step by step project yet! Hehehe...

Here are 2 quotes for you. Lance is always making me laugh and keeping on my toes, so I thought I would share a super cute quote with you all!

Thanks all and hope you have a FABULOUS day!

Hugs,

Heather R.

Sunday Favs- March 14th edition

Hi everyone! Michelle here to share my Sunday Ippity Favorite cards! Each week the Ippity Gallery on SCS grows and it's amazing to be a small part of the Ippity family!

Here are my favs from this last week:

First up, Teresa aka: va.sunshine. This card uses one of the sentiments from Devoted. The colors are fresh, the lace and ribbon combo is divine with the perfect amount of distressing. Oh and did I mention the HOUNDS TOOTH heart?!?
Next is Emily aka: Stampingout. This card uses the bunny and cloud images from Sweet Thoughts of Spring. Happy spring is right!! This card makes me smile with its fun use of embossed hot pink and bright happy blue clouds! Isn't this one adorable by Lynn, aka: Briarthyme? She also uses Sweet Thoughts of Spring. What a CLEVER use of stitching for the sun rays and I just love bright sun with the cloud outlines! HAPPY card for sure!This soft, lovely and whimsical beauty is from Avery, aka: Avery123. The card uses the fabulous sentiment, and 2 images from Where You Should Be. I LOVE the soft color combo with a simple piece of stitched grosgrain accented with a trio of brads!
Next up we have a CAS card from Bonnie, aka: BonnieRose. She uses a sentiment from Life's Little Moments. I love how simple and whimsical this is. Just shows you, less IS sometimes more!!
And last, but certainly not least we have a fav of mine from the Design team - Lisa, aka: lisahenke. This card uses What Matters Most. I LOVE how she pieced and cut out butterfly trail image. Everything perfectly coordinates with the amazing Quite Contrary paper from MME! AND, what? The double bow/burlap string is perfection!!
Well that's it for me! Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT day everyone!

Fresh Idea Friday With Maria

Happy Friday!!

I'm so excited that this week is drawing to a close. The weather has been BEAUTIFUL here in Colorado and the kids have a three day weekend, I can't wait to get some fresh air after being cooped up this winter. Days like today make me crave spring, hopefully the snow stays gone :)

I decided to do a scrapbook layout for today's post. I used some of the NEW papers from the Winter release and WOW are they amazing!!

Here are a few detail shots:

The polka dots on the small flower are from Love In Return. I used three of the Blossom nestabilities to create the flower. The largest is a coffee cozy from Starbucks :) The scallop stamp is from Sweet Thoughts Of Spring.

I still haven't journaled on this layout (it's always the hardest part of scrapbooking for me) but I went ahead and stamped
the journal box from Love in Return so that it's ready when I am.I used the polka dots from Love in Return again, this time to create a subtle background for my title. The letter stamps are from the super fun set Alphabettically Adorable.

I LOVE mixing and matching all the {ippity} sets! These stamps are so versatile and one of the best things things about {ippity} is that they ALL work together....I LOVE that :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. The H{ippity} Hop sign up is posted today on the SCS forum and we would love to have you join in on Monday! If you don't have {ippity} yet, {CLICK HERE} to find an {ippity} chick to purchase from.
