I’ve been busy with the Ippity and Unity stamps these days. Cards, scrapbook pages, altered stuff, you name it! It’s all FUN because I’m stamping!

Ippity and Unity make it easy to stamp. Just place the red rubber stamp onto an acrylic block, ink it up and away you go! You’re a stamper now! It’s fun to watch people stamp for the first time. They’re so tentative and gentile. Rubber is so rugged that it’s doubtful they could hurt a red rubber stamp! With the exception of chemicals or sharp objects, rubber stamps are very good about holding their own!

You may remember seeing some “inchies” on here before – the little pieces of 1″x1″ art? Well, the cousin to “inchies” are “twinchies”. I bet you can guess what they are – yes, 2″x2″ pieces of art!

Indeed being double the size of inchies, twinches can accommodate a bit more “stuff”. These are rather simple, but I think would be very cute on a card with a little bit more embellishment by means of ribbon, more patterned paper or bling.

So, I view these as a great starting point!

There are 2 themes here. The green is a March/Clover/St. Patrick’s Day theme. The bunnies are Easter/Spring themed. All have either heat embossing or flocking on them for at least a bit of texture. They’re fun! Oh, you trade them like Artist Trading Cards. I made 3 of each one, so I’ll be receiving 9 back in each theme. Looking forward to it!

Supplies:
Stampin’ Up! stamps
Ranger and Tsukineko inks
P K Glitz embossing powder
Stampendous flocking
Spellbinders dies
Prism cardstock
Karen Foster patterned paper

I’ve been playing with some new stamps from Unity and Ippity, giving them a “Spring” feel to the cards that I’m using them on. The first is a real Easter/Spring-y type of card using the colors of the season. The bunny and egg-shaped die cut is also a giveaway! The 2nd card is a “Spring is coming soon” type of card. The weather has been quite cool recently in South FL, but much more so in the rest of the US. Don’t despair, Spring IS coming!

I finally was able to make a card using some of the scraps left over from my Origins card class – the one with the 6×6 pad of mini prints from that paper line. What goodness! The P K Glitz colors really match well to the patterns and colors in this line. I used the recent Mojo Monday sketch for inspiration.

Guess what? Another great sheet of rubber from Heather at Faerie Song Art Stamps!

This time, we’re going under the sea to those mythical mermaid creatures. Gretchen Raisch-Baskin is the artist that has added her own special touch to Magical Mermaids, the 8 1/2″ x 11″ sheet of red rubber stamps. I had a lot of fun using Copics markers to color in the details of the ocean and mermaids. It was a great opportunity to practice blending, which you’ll probably be able to tell here and there.

Take a look and I hope you like them!
