{Ippity} by Unity

I have this card up on the Unity blog today!

I used the shine, shine, shine and The Best Ippity sets.

Lots of paper piecing going on today!  Whew.  Plus, the stem of the lamp and lamp shade were colored with Copic markers.  I didn’t realize the camera didn’t pick it up, but there are rhinestones on the lamp stem as well.

I LOVE those banners in The Best set.  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

Did you know Ippity is ONLY available from an Ippity chick?
Ippity has the same great quality stamps as Unity, but sold only by these FABULOUS chickadees.
Click the link to find your favorite one.I found this super cute Follow the Recipe challenge at the Catered Crop blog.  You are given a ‘recipe’ based on an inspiration card and anything goes from that list.  So fun!

Here’s the FTR17 recipe. I highlighted the ‘ingredients I used.

  • Colors – red, white, green, blue, gray, kraft
  • Stamps and Stickers – strawberries, sentiment, aliens/monsters, scientists or science subjects
  • Patterns – circles, checked/gingham, scallops
  • Color Mediums – markers (ProMarker, Copics, White Signo Pen)
  • Embellishments – clear gloss, glitter, charms, brads, ribbon
  • Tools – corner rounder punch, border punch, die cut shapes
  • Techniques – faux stitching, doodling/drawing, make an easel card
  • Theme – birthday, just hello/because

stamps: shine, shine, shine, The Best {Ippity}
cardstock: kraft {The Paper Company}
patterned paper: Echo Park
other: black pen, rhinestones, Copic markers

    I love the rhinestones! The colouring on the shade is incredible, and I love the sentiment & its font. What a great pick-me-up card 🙂
