I’ve been having fun at the Friends with Flair blog hops each Friday with fellow fans of Unity Stamps. It’s a fun time since I have fun combining my Ippity Stamps with Unity designs. It’s very cool that they complement each other so well!

Don’t forget that for all the cards you see here on the blog, you can purchase the Ippity stamps by just clicking the “Shop” tab at the top!

I’ve also been supporting the “Hope you can Cling to” Breast Cancer Awareness card drive on Splitcoaststampers, so you’ll also see some cards for that today too.

Today was one of those days that Prickley Pear was perfect for my projects!

This card was fun to create since I combined heat embossing with dry embossing. The orange panel is vellum dry embossed then colored with Copics on the back for a stained glass effect. The stamped image is by Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps and heat embossed using 2 different colors of embossing powder. The image is stamped once then sprinkled with one color in one area first, then the 2nd color is added after shaking off any excess of the first powder. A fun effect especially when an image is perfect for it like this one.

I’ve long been a fan of Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps. The style is flowing and somewhat whimsical with a vintage flair. Such detail and beauty in each image!

This image, Bird with Floral Trail, is wonderful for card making. It’s a great size for the front of a card. I’ve heat embossed it here with P K Glitz embossing powder for a little extra dimension.

I’ve been able to play more with the weekly hops with the Ippity Chicks and the Unity Friends with Flair.

I LOVE stamping and card making!!! It seems this year has been especially prolific for me to make cards! It’s been easier with my schedule since I can usually make a card within an hour or so during the week. Scrapbook pages still take me awhile, but it’s worth it!

The Ippity stamps continue to amaze me with their versatility. By just changing the color of ink or embossing powder, the same image looks totally different! The sets coordinate so well with each other that I find myself using a couple of them together in one project. Often I’ll use the images from one and sentiment from another. Or I’ll use one from Unity. There is really an unlimited number of projects that can be made from just a couple Ippity Stamp sets.

Here are some of my latest projects that I’ve had a lot of fun creating using mostly Ippity stamps and some Unity stamps thrown in. You can see my Ippity blog for all the stamp names and details.

I’ve been busy using P K Glitz products on various projects that I can now post to show you! P K Glitz has a fantastic variety of glitter, embossing powder and glitzed embossing powder. Her add-on products are equally great like the Sticky Tape, Sticky Paper and WonderFilm. All of those items are terrific for either the glitter or embossing powder. Isn’t that FAB??!!!

Cute name right? :)

There’s a new challenge going on at the P K Glitz Blog called “Shake, Rattle and Roll”!

Create a project of some kind using P K Glitz products with a shaker box too! It can be a card, scrapbook page or altered item-you choose!

Here’s one to encourage you to play along. It’s a card using a rubber stamped background, foam tape as the shaker foundation and a piece of plastic as the window. I did a little extra rubber stamping of the smaller seahorse in blue on the backside of the plastic! Isn’t he pretty?

What are you waiting for? Take out those little beads, glitter and whatnot to put inside of YOUR shaker!
