Jingle Belles "ROCK"!

Have you been over to the Jingle Belles blog yet? If you want a great place to go to get inspiration to get you Christmas cards done then that is the place for you! They put up a challenge every week and you get one chance for every card made during the month to win prizes! Isn't that awesome! So, you get inspiration, motivation, less stress at Christmas by having your cards done, and the chance to win prizes. I don't see how you could lose!

This week the challenge is to make a card with print on it. You could use the print as a background or an accent. You could also use a sentiment and make that the main focus of your card. Here is what I made:

I used a page from a Christmas magazine as the background print. I also distressed the cardstock behind the print a little bit. Then I added some ribbon and the sentiment, which came from the Ippity set "Season of Joy". The tag stamp around the sentiment came from the same set. The bird came from another Ippity set, "Sing A New Song". (These stamp sets can be ordered from my Ippity Sales Blog.) I embossed all the stamping with Martha Stewart embossing powder and heat gun.

Thank you for visiting my blog! I will have another Christmas card to share with you on Friday for the Friends With Flair blog hop. Maybe I will have a couple of cards...we'll see!

Love, Patricia

Hippity Hop and All Things Unity

Hi! Its Hippity Hop time again! WOOT WOOT! If this is your first stop on the hop and you want to start at the beginning then you should go on over to the Ippity Blog to get a list of participating blogs and to get a look at this months Hippity Hop Twist Challenge where you can win some very cool prizes just for making something crafty!

The project I am going to share with you today is a project that I did for the All Things Unity challenge. This week, the challenge is to use Unity or Ippity Stamps to make an altered item. My grandmothers birthday is coming up so I decided to do an altered glass container for her and fill it with all kinds of goodies. Here is the containers before picture:

The top looks green but that is just the reflection of my green kitchen wall. It is actually chrome.

Here is the after pictures:

I used an Ippity set that had never seen the ink before and I am glad I did! I love it! The set is from the newest release and is called "Sing A New Song". The brown ribbon is from Martha Stewart and it is the adhesive ribbon. Oh! I used another Ippity set for the tag! That is the "Season Of Joy" set. I also used Martha Stewart heat embossing powder for the sentiment as well as the bird. By the way, if you need any Ippity stamps check out my sales blog for information on how to get them.

Thank you for visiting! Now, hop on over to the Ippity Blog to see who is next!

Love, Patricia
