Birthday wishes continue...

Hey {ippity} fans, its Maria today.  I’m so excited to be posting my very first card here on the blog.  I’m still pinching myself about being on the design team…but not too hard because if this is a dream I really don’t want to be woken up!  I’m so excited to get to work with Kelly, Eva and Eryn and I’m really looking forward to seeing who the last two members are going to be.  I’ve been checking out the galleries and WOW, everyone is turning out some awesome {ippity} projects.

I had a chance this weekend to lock myself in my craft room and play with all my {ippity} stamps.  I’ve been blown away by all of Eryn’s projects and she inspired me to use more of Life’s Little Moments.  I stamped the little month stamp in More Mustard ink on yellow cardstock to create the background.  I think this might be one of my new favorite stamps!

I also used the birds from Because of You and stamped them in a color I usually avoid.  Pink Passion is pretty bright but I really love this color combo. It’s sort of unexpected and I think that’s why I like it.  Last, but not least, I stamped the birthday sentiment from Just Wanted To Say in pink too.

Well, that’s it for me today.  I’m looking forward to seeing more of your fabulous {ippity} creations and getting more involved on the blog.

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!

Sunday Faves!!!

Hello again!!!  This is Eva again, hope you are having a lovely Sunday!  It's morning still in my neck of the woods, so I am just starting my day, but what a way to start a day by looking at lovely {ippity} creations and choosing some to highlight????  LOVE IT!!!!  It really is very very difficult to pick, and I wish I could have picked all of your pretty creations, but here are a few I can fit into this little blog post.

This adorable card uses the Devoted set, which I think seems to be a favorite for a lot of people is made by JenMarie.  I so love the colors and the papers of course are perfect  for this little card.  And love the lacey trim on this card as well...Just a very cute card.

This adorable and incredibly creative card is using the Kissmass and Mistletoe set made by Lisa Henke.  What's not to love about this card???  I really love the fact that she thought so outside of the box on this card and made a wreath....how clever is that???  LOVE IT!!!

And look at these beauties made with the Kissmass and Mistletoe set as well by Kim.  I just love these little boxes, and of course this is the time we all are looking for ideas of how to wrap our gifts so nicely, this is sure one way that would appeal to anyone...Love this one, too....

I love shaped cards, to this card really caught my eye.  It uses the Because of You set and is made by Michelle .  I love the brightness of this card...just makes me want to smile.  Love it as well!!!

This yummy card uses the Just Wanted to Say set and look at those gorgeous bows....sometimes a simple sentiment is all you need and this card made by Savannah sure proves that....Love it!!!!

This last card I decided to showcase is just so adorable and uses the Straight from the Heart set and made by Jessy.  I love how she used the nestabilities to showcase the stamped image and her coloring is sooo sweet, don't you think???  Just too cute!!!

Well, I could have gone on and on and showcase everyone's cards, but these are just a few of my favorites....keep creating, so we can show more of our faves, and it could be yours next Sunday....:)

Have a fabulous {ippity} day!

A pretty Birthday card

Hello, hello  ladies....this is Eva here.  I am still stuffed from our turkey, how about you????  Hope you had a great feast and did you venture out to shop yesterday????  I only went to one store, but just to peek, and after seeing the long line, I was quickly cured from wanting to shop...hehehe...that is for sure.

Wasn't Eryn's little album amazing in yesterday's post????  I so loved it, if you haven't seen it, please scroll down, as it's one gorgeous eye candy, that is for sure!!!  Anyway, I have a sweet Birthday card to share with you today, which uses the Just Wanted to Say set, which has totally become my favorite set, I have to say.  By the way, I hope you are taking advantage of the Bundle Pack???  What a deal that is!!!  Specially with the rolled back price!!!

Well, here is my little card and sure hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.

Items to create this card:

Cardstock:  Stampin Up

Patterned Paper and acetate overlay:  GCD

Stamps:  Just Wanted to Say 

Ink:  Memories and Ranger Distress ink

Cuttlebug folder

Have a fabulous {ippity} day!

December Daily album...

I hope you had a WONDERFUL wonderful Thanksgiving!

Hi...it's Eryn stopping by today to share another {ippity} project...

Can you believe December 1st is next week already? Wowzers, where does the time go?

I created a "December Daily" album and am sharing some of the pages that I used {ippity} stamps to create. The idea behind the album is that you prepare the album in advance and then each day in December you just add journaling/pictures/mementos, etc. for each day. Each page is very simple right now and as I journal on each page in December I will add more embellishments. Also, I have decided to wait on adding the date numbers to my pages so that I can pick and choose which page will work best for that day...

click here to check out for more information on creating a December Daily album

I chose to use a Maya Roads chipboard album...that way I was able to create the perfect cover with my {ippity} stamps & embellishments.

I absolutely LOVE our alphabet stamps...they are going to get lots of good use!!

The snowflake stamp is perfect to create a subtle background.

With this stamp, I will be able to just circle the date!

I also LOVE that logo stamp set - Snippity of {ippity}

This is actually an envelope so I can save some memento's from a special day in December...

Simple but sweet!

Again, with this stamp, I will be able to just easily circle the date.

I know we will have a FAMILY photo taken sometime in December...this will be the perfect page to display it!

This is actually a little pocket.

Well, I hope I have inspired YOU to create a December Daily as well. This is my first year doing this and am really excited about the whole idea!!

On these pages I have used stamps from the following {ippity} kits.

Alphabetically Adorable

Kissmas & Mistletoe

Just wanted to Say...

Life's Little Moments

Snippity of Ippity

As December rolls around and I finish each page I am sure I will be grabbing my {ippity} stamps to add the perfect finishing touches!

Thanks for stopping by...Enjoy your weekend!!

Happy Thanksgiving to All!

This is Kelly here welcoming you to our first T{Ippity} Tuesday post!!  Each Tuesday come by for tips designed to make being an {Ippity} Chick or Dude easier.  We welcome suggestions or questions you may have and we will try and address them in future T{Ippity} Tuesday Tips!

 I think you are going to LOVE today's TIP because it can save you some MONEY!!!

Did you see that the name of the Starter Pack has been changed to a Bundle Pack?  We wanted to make sure that you knew that you don't HAVE to buy the Starter Pack to get started selling {Ippity}!  You can actually start selling for as little as $27 plus shipping! BUT when you see what savings can be had why wouldn't you want to take advantage of the Bundle Pack (was Starter Pack) for only $150??

Are you guys liking the Blog Posts so far??

We think it is easier for all of us if there is a weekly schedule that we follow for what gets posted on the blog.  So Eryn, Eva and I have been planning out what type of posts will be on the blog for each day of the week.  We are in the process of having a calendar made that will be on this page so you can refer to it and know what to expect throughout the week!
