Lone Pine Designs: Ippity Card and Storage

Lone Pine Designs

"Lone Pine Designs" originated when I first moved to America in 2005 from Australia. My mother in Australia called our new home in NH "Lone Pine" as she wanted my new home, which is surrounded by pine trees, to have an Australian name. The Battle of Lone Pine is a very famous successful Australian battle which took place during the Gallipoli war in Turkey in 1915. It was called The Battle of Lone Pine for the solitary pine tree standing in the middle of the battlefield which surprisingly remained standing at the end of the battle. After the tough few months leading up to our arrival here in America and surviving the first year in a new country I felt like that pine tree still standing in the battlefield. It was in 2006 when I started to sell my work on Ebay that I decided that Lone Pine Designs would be the perfect name for this new endeavour in my life.

Ippity Card and Storage

Welcome to another H{ippity} Hop Monday! Be sure to check in at the {Ippity} Blog to see a list of all Blog Hop participants and all their wonderful {Ippity} creations.

I have a few things to share with you today.....my first card was made using {Ippity} stamps from the sets "Music of my Heart" and "Devoted". I cut a window in the front of the card to match the shape of the heart stamp which is stamped inside so it would be visible from the outside. I then decorated around the heart shape on the front with paper flowers and buttons. I chose the buttons and flowers first which made it easier to match the cardstock and ink.

Secondly, this next card was made with three different stamps from the set Devoted.

...And the last thing for today I thought I would show you how I store my {Ippity} stamps. I use these great 3-ring binders from Univenture and binder sheets from GinaK Designs. Each binder holds four sets of {Ippity} stamps perfectly....one set per page. I made the front insert by cutting out the image label from the packaging so it shows exactly what's in each box. The second photo shows the set Devoted on a binder sheet. The smaller {Ippity} sets have a little more space on the page.

All {Ippity} stamp sets are available for sale HERE.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
