>>> H{ippity} Hop! <<<

Been busy the weekend creating and why not since the weather was too cold to go out. Neither the boys nor I seem inclined to wanna go out at all and we spent Sunday in our jammies. Bliss!

Here's a LO created using Life's Little Moments set. Can't tell you how much I've used this set for my pages.


I did this LO as part of my DT assignment for BackPorch Memories, using Sassafras Amplify papers. Misted the background using glimmer mist and cosmic shimmer and did a tone on tone stamping using the snowflake stamp from Kissmas & Mistletoe (which can't be seen in the photo). Used the journaling block for my title.

The next project is a card, also created using BPM kit. I used patterned papers from Bella Blvd, Honey I'm Home collection.



I used a background stamp to decorate the chipboard house from Scenic Route. Punched out a fence using my Martha Stewart punch and stamped another background stamp on it. The chipboard house was coloured using Copics.

Finally, my last project is another card. I created this one based on the H{ippity} Hip challenge that was issued last week, which was to use buttons on the card. Here's mine:


Patterned paper from Imaginisce. I made use of the Simply Home set. Have not really played with this set. The stamped house image was coloured using Promarkers. I luv using ribbons and trimming and I'm such a serious hoarder of them. So dug thru' my stash to find this particular one that was suitable for this card. I believe the buttons are from Making Memories (a very long time ago...)

Is it coincidental that my cards so far focus on homes? I just realised that the last few cards I created were related to homes. But then again, I don't have any of them in my collection so just as well I made some for 'in case' use.

Thanks for dropping by. If you have left comments, thanks so much. I appreciate them and enjoy reading  them. Have a great day!

>>> H{ippity} Hop <<<

Welcome to my {ippity} blog, a blog I set up especially for {ippity} stamps. Since discovering Unity stamps, I became a convert and since then, a fervent user of their stamps. When {ippity} came out, not surprising, I ended up not only collecting them but selling them too.

This is my first (and certainly not the last) H{ippity} Hop. I certainly had fun playing with the stamp sets.

I created a few canvas as Xmas pressies for my relatives. This was one of them, using stamp images from Life's Little Moments.


The background was done using cosmic shimmer and Tim Holtz' mask. The 'live, laugh, love' image came from Simply Home stamp set. The 'butterfly' image is from Devoted set.

Here's a tag I created using {ippity} stamps. I enjoy making tags as I do give them out often, especially when sending out birthday cards etc. They are easy to create and so much possibilities to play with.
