Challenge #1 for Eyelets, Ribbon, Paper-Oh My!!

This week, Jenn over at Jax Bean Stalks is hosting the very first challenge for our blog group "Eyelets, Ribbon, Paper-Oh My!" The challenge is to to reuse/re-purpose an item(s) that we all have in our house...a cereal box, cracker box or a cookie box...and she encouraged us to use up our scraps. I've been wanting a container to hold all my little white cardstock scraps that always seem to accumulate on my craft table and I haven't been able to find one the right size. I do eventually use up all these scraps and so it's nice to have them handy and not mixed up with all my other coloured scraps...oh, and it helps if they're not covered in ink or glitter! I decided to use a Wheat Thins box...


I cut it down to the size I wanted so that all my scraps are easily accessible but wont fall out!


Then I rummaged through my scrap paper draw and found this small piece of stripey paper (Basic Grey if I remember rightly) and some colours to match and covered the inside and outside with paper. Then of course it needed some ribbon and a flower...guess I should have used an eyelet instead of a button and it would have been perfect for our blog group name!

Here it is filled with the white cardstock scraps from my table! Can't wait to see what everyone else makes!

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!
