So on to today's sneaks!! As promised we have two more sets that we are letting you get an early peek at.  And the DT has been busy creating samples for you to see.  We have a Sneak Peek Blog Hop everyday this week until Thursday, so to start at the beginning of the Hop, go to the Ippity Blog and follow the icons to take you around to all the DT members' blogs.  Then be sure to head down the list of Ippity fans that are participating in the Hippity Hop today too!! There should be tons of ippity goodness for inspiration today!

Start the Hop HERE!

If you are coming from Karen's blog then you are already
on the right track and have made it to your next stop on the Hop!

The first reveal I have for you comes from the new Fall For You set...

I created this card using the bird cage, birds and the "in love" sentiment all from this set.  This is a CAS card that also fits the challenge for this week on the CAS Forum at SCS.  In fact, the challenge for this week is to use the sketch from one of my cards that uses Unity stamps!  You can see the inspiration card HERE!  The challenge is CAS66 and we sure hope that you will play along too!

The DP I used is from My Mind's Eye and I thought that the birds on the DP and the Birds in the stamps really had a close resemblance to each other.  I stamped and colored the birds in first using Copic markers.  Then I stamped the birdcage over it and lightly shaded the bars with a very pale gray Copic (C-1)  And to give it more dimension, I cut it out separately and popped it up on my card!

The pretty yellow lace trim is from a Making Memories collection I had on hand.  I think it is a cute little card to give to a couple of love birds!!

Next I have a sample to show you from the collection called Seasons of Joy.

It is hard to think about Christmas right now when the temps in FL have been reaching the high 80's to 90's, but since the stamps are so adorable, I didn't have any trouble wanting to play with them!

One of the wonderful things about this set is that there are TWO frames in it.  And the best part about that is that the TWO frames are the same shape and coordinate perfectly with some of the new Nesties.  The one you see showcased here that contains the Season's Greetings sentiment matches Labels 10.  To create the look you see with this label, I used my airbrush and red Copics to highlight the outer edge of the frame, then I also matted it again in the next size up with a contrasting color.  I think it turned out cute!

There are also FIVE snowflakes in this collection. You can see three of them pictured here.  I stamped them in SU's Sage Shadow and then added red rhinestones and fluorescent glitter glue to make them sparkle! The DP is from the My Mind's Eye, Quite Contrary line and the border punch is a Fiskars design. 

Well that is going to do it for the peeks that I have for you today!  To continue on the Hop you are heading to the amazing Lisa Arana's blog to see what goodies she has in store for you!  Cone back tomorrow for the reveal of two more fantastic sets!

Don't forget to leave comments on all the DT blogs today!!! 

 We will be giving away a Fall For You and a Season's of Joy set on Thursday to random commenters on the secret DT blogs for today! 

 Good Luck!!

Have a great day and may your bucket overflow with joy no matter what Season we are in!
