What? Another card for a challenge? I know, I'm quite shocked that I've managed to do another challenge card this week.

Have a wonderful day.

{Ippity} Friday - Welcome Home

Hello Friday people, I have an {Ippity} make for you today that uses the Simply Home set which you can get at {Ippity} Inspiration, it is from the Autumn/Fall 2009 kit release. I've been using a lot of the Winter 2010 release recently so thought it was time for a re-visit to the Autumn/Fall 2009 release :)

I've paper pieced the home with Basic Grey Two scoops paper. It is quite a simple make but I thought it would be quite a good New Home card, what do you think?

Emily is taking part in the Unity blog hop today so if you want to take a peak pop over to the Make The Day Special blog where you can also see any specials that Emily has at the moment :)

Right, I shall leave you all to your hopping.

Thanks for stopping by.

Blog Hop At {Ippity}

Hello All, Hope you had marvellous weekends.

Got an {Ippity} Make for you today and today I'm using Moon Beam and Heart Strings.

My make is taking part in the {Ippity} Blog hop which if you want to join in with then pop over to {Ippity} Inspirations for the link to get started.

I've masked off part of the Moon Beam stamp before inking up as I only wanted a portion of it for this make. The little stars and moon are coloured with PrismaColor pencils and then I've covered them with glossy accents for dimension.

Hope you have a starry Monday

Piccies And News

Hey All, I don't have a card today but I do have some news that you might be interested in and some piccies from my week's staycation!

Been relaxing over the last week as a run up to my birthday, well the longer you can legitimately stretch it out the better in my reckoning! Thank you all for your lovely Birthday greetings, you are all wonderful!

Well, just thought I would share a couple of photos from my staycation with you all. Firstly here is a piccy of one of the window displays at the Selfridges' Wonder room - a room with products themed on the recently release of a film that I'm sure you all have heard about - yep Alice in Wonderland! :)

Secondly here are some photos from the Snow Centre at Hemel Hempstead where David and I spent a very fun afternoon. David was snowboarding and I was watching!

Ok so I am a wus! I tried skiing once, I spent most of the time sliding down hills on my butt! But I did feel like I had earnt the hot chocolate that came after it. Our next visit to the centre I'm thinking I will have a go at snowboarding...er...maybe...

So I've made you wait this long for the news but hopefully it was worth the wait :)

Well I thought you might like to know that Elaine has set up a new Quixotic Paperie Blog which has all the DT makes and news about new products and offers on their way :)

Also Emily has another weekend of free P&P on at Make The Day Special and {Ippity} Inspirations to celebrate some new rubber in the house.

Have a lovely weekend

Kim

Bird Song Friday

Happy Friday all, the weekend is ahead and I have an {Ippity} make for you. This one uses the stamps from the Because Of You Set.

I've stamped the birdcage on white card and then masked it. I inked the swirls on the swirly flower stamp and stamped it over the masked cage. Finally I stamped the birdcage onto a book page, cut it all out, layered it up and attached it to the card. Added a little glitter to the birds and there you have two sparkly love birds :)

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Blog Candy Heads-Up

H{Ippity} Hop Is A Hopping

Got some very sneaky peaks for you - they are from the card I have made for the Monday {Ippity} Blog hop. If you want to see the card it is over at {Ippity} Inspirations :)

Tee Hee - Mean of me I know!

This sentiment from the Fishy Philosophy set always reminds me of Dory from Finding Nemo.

Just keep Swimming!

Kim

Heads-Up!

Hey All, a quick heads-up for you -

Emily has Free P&P on offer for this weekend for your Unity and {Ippity} orders so pop on over to Make The Day Special for the Unity stamps and {Ippity} Inspiration for the {Ippity} stamps, inks and papers.

{Ippity} Hello

Just in case you had not noticed - It is Friday - Woop! Woop! As it is Friday it is my {Ippity} make day :)

My make today uses the {Ippity} Because Of You Stamp Set which you can get from Emily over at her blog {Ippity} Inspiration.

Emily has been making some changes over at her shop Make The Day Special. You can find some yummy Unity stamps there and you can also pre-order the Your Next Stamp range there as well. Keep your eye on the shop as Emily is adding new stamp ranges over the next few weeks.

The background is the script stamp from the set stamped in white on coloured card. I've used ribbon from the Make The Day Special Kit #2 and a Cretan Stitch with beads to make a border.

I bordered the sentiment with a straight stitch and beads.

Have a lovely Friday you all.

Go With The Flow

Hey All, I have a Make The Day Special {Ippity} stamps card for you today.

I've used the lovely Fishy Philosophy set from the new release and I think that Go with the flow is definitely my philosophy for today!


The pond weed has been coloured with Stickles glue which gives a lovely sparkly underwater feel.
But me no buttons! Oh lovely buttons! Buttons, buttons, buttons...

Sorry. Did I get a bit distracted by buttons just then?

Edit: The lovely Shirley has pointed out that my card fits this week's challenge over at Cards For Men which has a Green theme. Thanks Shirley!

Hope your day flows easily!

I'm Going To Eat You Little Fishy!

Make The Day Special {Ippity} Stamps day here on my blog and this week I've been able to play with one of the fab stamp sets from the new release.

There are eight new stamp sets in the release all available from Make The Day Special and all just gorgeous (I'm sure I've probably said that already - tee hee!).

My make today uses stamps from Fishy Philosophy. I've stamped one of the pond weeds onto light kraft paper. The layers are all fabrics and get this - The blue fabric is from an old cushion that I re-purposed and dyed myself! (Ok so I'm easily impressed LOL!)

The little fishy has been stamped onto white paper and coloured with PrismaColor pencils. I then smeared with glitter and covered with Glossy Accents to get a really sparkly fishy.

Don't forget that Emily has a stamp set from the new release as Blog Candy on her blog {Ippity} Inspiration - Yum!

Hope you have a swimmingly good Friday.

{Ippity} Good Times

Hey everyone, Friday is here again and I have a Make The Day Special {Ippity} Stamp make for you. Today's make uses stamps from the Because of You set, which I have to admit is one of my favourite sets.

I've stamped out the sentiment and Love script out on some white textured card then added some stitching and a ruffled ribbon.

The flower and mushroom are also from the kit. I have used distress inks to add a bit of colour, glossy accents on the mushroom and Stickles glue on the flower.

There are some fab sneak peaks on Emily's lovely {Ippity} Inspiration blog of the new releases coming soon - I can't wait :)

Happy Friday to you all.
