Ippity-itis...

Ok...I have these 2 friends...who happen to also be 2 of mine Design Team Sistahs...that have gotten me COMPLETELY hooked on Ippity Stamps (shout out to Angie and Rona). I am calling it "Ippity-itis" because I just can't shake "needing" to buy more of these stamps. Wonder what this company is about and where you can get some of your own? I am glad that you asked :) Rona is an "Ippity Chick" and sells the sets straight from her blog (Paypal payments). She just got her new releases up and selling the other day (I bought a few sets, but, of course, need more). You just HAVE to check it out!!! The stamps are of the HIGHEST quality rubbah, are unmounted so storage space is not a problem and are fresh and fantastic designs! Rona has fabulous communication with the customer, fast packaging and shipping and answers all questions! Plus, she is my Sistah and I love her :)

Here is a card that I made using an Ippity set "Faith Blooms" that I received from Rona (she is our prize sponsor at SSC). This is based on a sketch by my talented friend and Design Team Sistah Amy:

"Open Your Heart":

Supplies Used:

Card: made from cardstock (Michael's)

Patterned Paper: Unknown (using up scraps)

Ribbon: Recycled from some packaging

Stamps: "Faith Blooms" sets by Ippity

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko)

Die Cuts: Cookie Cutter Circles (Quickutz)

Other: handcut corner and label; "Swiss Dots" embossing folder (Cuttlebug)

Close up of the button flower:

I stamped the stem of one of the flowers in the set and topped it with a button. For the sentiment, I inked up the stamp and wiped the ink off of the word 'and' , leaving 'open your heart' for the title.

Hop on over and check out the newest releases! You will not be disappointed :)
