Good morning everyone!!!
The theme for Challenge 13 at Get Hippity with Ippity is:

Hearts

One, two, three...or as many as yo desire. It does not have to be Valentine related. We want to see whatever and wherever your creativity takes you. It could be a card, an ATC, collage, mixed-media, etc., but we must see a heart, or as many hearts as you want to show us.

Remember you must become a follower of our challenge blog. Also if you use an Ippity or a Unity stamp in your project, your name is in the drawing twice. If you do use an Ippity or a Unity stamp, please leave a comment and let us know which one. We do appreciate that one little step extra.

The prize is an {ippity} set of your choice from the {ippity} Sales Blog.

I have two projects to share with you today.
For this card I used the following techniques: masking and heat embossing.
  

I am entering this card in the following challenge: Cooking It Up #87 - Show me some Pink Posies with Pearls,  Challenge 20 - Love is in the Air at Crafter's Companion, and Alota's Heart Challenge

I used the following Ippity stamp sets:

Here is the second card, for the heart base card I used the Cricut die cutting machine and Wild Card cartridge, also did some dry embossing to the front side of it.

I am entering this card in the following challenge: Inky Impressions Challenge - Shape It Up!

I used the following Ippity stamp sets:

Tim Times Ten Grand Give-A-Way Challenge: Day Seven

Tim Times Ten Grand Give-A-Way Challenge: Day Seven

Today's challenge is an acetate tag. The acetate must be dry embossed. It must be inked. Your tag must be two-layered, include an image, and you must use some type of "dimensional" product to embellish your image -- fun flock, flower soft, heat embossing, etc. The weather, unfortunately, is supposed to be cold here today; therefore, your tag should depict a cold scene -- could be winter or fall and does not have to include snowmen/snow, just ensure you make a good representation of colder weather. The acetate should be from some packaging that you may have at your craft spot in order that you recycle the plastic and help prevent us from killing our own planet with non-biodegradable materials such as plastic...

Big challenge for me since yesterday was recycling day!

Lucky me, found an acetate cover for a tray, and I was ready to begin working.

The tag has a fall theme.

Beautiful leaves, two of them with flower soft: green and brown, swirl to the top of the tag and the word fall at the bottom ties everything together.

Here are some details:

Tim Times Ten Grand Give-A-Way Challenge: Day Two

Welcome to Day 2 of our Grand Give-A-Way Challenge.

Today's challenge, then is a Masking Tag. You must create a tag which incorporates the masking technique somewhere in the tag. Today's theme is "Busy Bees" and your design must incorporate bees in the layout. The tag must also have some type of sheen/shimmer. I used Crackle Accents for both gloss and crackle effect. Your design must incorporate a glossy/shimmery effect.

This challenge was intimidating at first. I have done masking maybe two times!

Tried my best to comply with each and every condition posted and as it came together I felt in love with it.
Just have a look at my cute tag:



Bee...autiful!

 First I inked the tag:

Then I placed the mask and inked over it:

Added some beadss and jewels:

Love the way it turned out!

Thanks!
