FWF Friday!!

WOOHOO! Its Friday! That means it is time for the Friends with Flair Blog Hop! If you just started here, you should pop on over to the Unity Blog to get a list of participants. You don't want to miss out on any of the inspiration.

Here is my contribution to the hop.

This is a quick and easy sour cream container that I whipped up for a Valentines treat for my niece. It took me about 5-10 minutes to make it so it won't be a shame when she rips it open to get at her Hershey Kisses! There are tutorials all over the place for these, I am not sure where I got mine but I saw it a while back. Then I used an ippity stamp set that just came out this past fall, "How YOU Doin'", to make the little heart and the enjoy sentiment. If you are interested in ippity, guess what? I'm an ippity chick! Yep! You can visit my sales blog to get a viewing of this set as well as all the others.

Thank you all for visiting my blog. Now hop on over to the next blog for more ideas!

Love, Patricia

Its Hippity Hop Monday!!

Yippee!! If you just started here you should hop on over to the Ippity Blog so you can start from the beginning and get to see all the beautiful projects that have been created using Ippity stamps. And, remember, if you need any Ippity stamps you can visit my Ippity Sales Blog to see all of the sets and how to order them.

Now! On to the project! This time I turned a pop top Chef Boyardee can into a wonderful Valentine's gift for Jarod's teacher. I kinda went outside my comfort zone and used some vintage-like stuff...which turned out pretty good! If you want a tutorial on how to do these cans check out the one at Splitcoast Stampers.

I am not sure what the papers were...but the tag is a shipping tag bought at Staples for about $3 for 100! A great deal! I also know what the stamps and ink are....IPPITY!!! Both the music note background stamp (on the tag) and the heart (on the tag and on the front of the can) came from the "Music of my Heart" set, which is in the Winter 2010 collection. The ink used for the music notes is Unity Haystack and the heart is stamped with Unity Moulin Rouge.

I hope you have enjoyed my project! Now continue on the blog to see all the other Ippity Inspiration created just for you!

Love, Patricia

Hippity Hop January 17, 2011

Hello!! If you just started here than you may want to start over at the Unity Blog to get a list of other blogs to visit for awesome inspiration!

So, this is my first blog post for the New Year. The holidays really took a toll on my time! I had no time for anything, including stamping. But, now that Santa is back in the North Pole and the lights and decorations are down I have a little more time to get back to my passion!

With Valentines Day right around the corner I figured that I should get a move on with the treats that Jarod will be taking to his 3rd grade class. I decided to do a matchbox candy holder filled with Hershey Kisses cause everyone loves Hershey Kisses, right? Especially since they changed them to milk chocolate kisses! So here it is:

I used the Gurnsey Gingham stamp from the Fall 2010 {ippity} collection for the background and the "for you" stamp came from the Totally Happy set from the Summer 2010 collection. You can view my {ippity} sales blog here for more information on how to get them.

Here is another view of the box:

For the window I just used a heart shaped fiskers punch and then taped a piece of plastic behind the heart shape. That way those yummy Hershey Kisses won't fall out! By the way, I got the plastic from the packaging that the punch came in! I like to recycle.

Thank you for visiting my blog!!

Love, Patricia
