Maria Levine's Got {ippity} Design Team Blog Hop

Hello {ippity} fans!  Today is our monthly blog hop with the Maria Levine's Got {ippity} design team.  If you came here from the blog of our August Guest, Michelle Kister, you are in the right place!  If not, start hopping at Maria's blog.  If you hop with us and comment on all the blogs, you could win an {ippity} prize from Maria.  One random commenter will be chosen.

 

 We have an inspiration theme this month for you.  Vicki chose this picture of feathers in some gorgeous colors!  I love fall and these colors always make me swoon!  So that's what I used as inspiration for my card.

 I used the Books a' Flutter stamp set from {ippity} for my card today.  I thought the books would look fabulous in these colors.  I got lucky and found this paper pack from Bo Bonny's Market Street collection.  It actually had a design with books on it AND it was in the colors I needed.  The books are colored with copics and the pages were colored with a gold Sakura glitter pen.  Remember how some old books had a gold finish to the edges of the pages?  That's what I was going for.  The butterfly was stamped a second time and mounted on top for some dimension.  I added some Star Dust Stickles to the wings.  The ribbon was a gift from my friend Cheryl.  She bought it for me on our last trip to our LSS last week.  It matches perfectly!  I'm lovin' how this card came together!

I used the current I Spy Sketch and I also took some inspiration from Kim Teasdale's card.  I loved how she did her sentiment and I did the same on mine with the flag die.

Your last stop on the hop is Julie.  You'll love what she has to show you!  I'm listing the hop list below in case you get lost.

Maria Levine's Got {ippity}? Design Team Birthday Hop

Maria Levine's Got {ippity}? design team is having a birthday blog hop!  Maria's birthday was last Friday, so we decided that this month's hop would be a birthday theme.  Maria is an {ippity} chick which means she sells these great rubber stamps.  {ippity} is part of the Unity Stamp Company, in case you weren't familiar with this line of stamps.  You can go to this site and choose her as your {ippity} chick if you order any of these great stamps.

The hop started at Maria's blog, so if you are just stopping in to see my card, why not start at the beginning and hop with us. She's giving away a prize to one random commenter, but you have to comment on all the design team's blogs in order to be able to win!

Now on to my card!  I'm using this cute set called "Bee" Better Together.  It comes with a sentiment that says "we're better together" but it didn't fit with the birthday theme, so I used this sentiment from the Fabulous Girl set.  Since I was working with bees, I printed out this honeycomb paper from the My Time Made Easy digital paper pack called Buzzy Blooms.  I added a Daffodil Delight panel embossed with a Tim Holtz honeycomb folder.  The wings of the bees were popped up and I added some Star Dust Stickles to them.  I love the black and white gingham ribbon against the yellow and black.



I followed this sketch from the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

So now that you've stopped by my blog, you'll want to follow the hop and go to Julie's blog.  We also have a guest hopping with us...woohoo!  Here's a list of the blogs you need to hop to in case you get lost.

Maria Levine's Got {ippity}? Summer Themed Blog Hop

Maria Levine's Got {ippity}? design team is hopping in their monthly blog hop.  This month is a summer themed hop.  If you came here from Vicki's blog, you are on the right track.  I'm the last on the hop, so make sure you start at Maria's blog and hop along.

I'm using this set called Pain and Strength.  I decided I liked the tree in black and white, and decided to make a black and white card.  But I wasn't thinking about the "summer theme" here as I was makind it.  But as I look at it, it does have flowers on the tree, flowers on the dp, and silk flowers, so I think it can be called summer themed.  The dp is from DCWV called All Dressed Up.

This is the great sketch I used from Sweet Sunday sketch.

Here is some important information regarding our hop.  If you leave a comment on all the DTs blogs, you will have a random chance to win an {ippity} prize from Maria.  We are looking for our July guest designer.  All you have to do is upload your card to our Facebook page here to enter.  If you see anything you like and want to order, you have to do it through an Ippity girls.  Go to this post and choose Maria Levine as your {ippity} chick!

Here is the hop lineup in case you get lost.

Got {ippity} Floral Fun Blog Hop!

Maria Levine's Got {ippity}'s design team are hopping today with a floral fun blog hop!  I hope you can join in on the fun.  If you came here from Maria's blog you are in the right place. 

This is what I came up with for this fun floral blog hop.  I used this cute little girl from the Time for Friends and Wine set.  I stamped it on sticky back canvas and colored it with copic markers.  It was cut with a nestie.  I then sponged some tea dye ink around the canvas while still in the die.  The sentiment is from Fabulous Girl
