I am really looking forward to this coming year as I have given myself some small crafting goals that will make my designing fun for me and hopefully for you too!! I will talk more about that tomorrow!! :-)
Today is Monday which means we are having another H{ippity} Hop Blog Hop!! I LOVE Mondays now!! It is so much fun to visit all the blogs showcasing {ippity} stamps!! I am always so impressed with what I see and can't wait to stamp when I am hopping around!! Thanks to all of you for your inspiration!! Be sure to stop by the {ippity} forum and chat with us too!
To start the H{ippity} Hop at the beginning, please click HERE!
Maria is our hostess with the mostest today and she has issued another challenge for us this week too! For our fifth challenge, IHHC5, she has asked us to incorporate BUTTONS into our creations!! I also combined the H{ippity}Hop Challenge with today's CAS Challenge CAS48, which was to make a Valentine's Day card! You know how I love challenges and combining them is one of my favorite things to do!! I hope you will play along and upload your card into the SCS Gallery and post a note on the thread. You will have a chance to win a prize too!
I first stamped the heart image from the Straight From the Heart kit. I stamped the row of black and then stamped again in red on white cardstock and paper pieced the red hearts on top of the black ones. I also stamped the same image again in both black and red and cut them apart to use down by my sentiment. The sentiment is also from the Straight From the Heart kit. Easy Peezy and it came together really quickly!
I hope this isn't too cluttered to still be considered CAS. But as far as my designs go, I really limited the layering and didn't add the extra fluff like stitching, bows and bling!! So this is CAS for me!! LOL!! We will let Miss Boo decide if this qualifies for her challenge or not! He he!!
I tried to keep this one masculine enough that I might be able to give it to my husband for Valentine's Day. We will see if I can improve on one for him between now and Feb 14th!
The rest of the {ippity} DT will have some more cards using buttons to show you too! Have fun Hopping and have a great Monday!! We are experiencing a cold front here in FL and it is 40 degrees this morning! It is really chilly for me!!
To get the Straight From the Heart {ippity} kit, please visit my {ippity} sales blog! It is the perfect kit for your Valentine's creations! I have three in stock and can ship them immediately!
Have a good one and may your bucket overflow with enough love to keep you warm!
