SSInkspiration Blog Hop- Punch Me!

Welcome to my page!!  If you are following along
in the blog hop, than you're just leaving Shellie's fabulous blog.   I hope you've enjoyed your journey so far!  There are only a few more to go!  If you're just starting, WELCOME!!  You're in for quite the treat!!

This month is all about Punches!!  Don't you just love them?!?!

They are quick, easy, and have LOTS of different uses!

What does a circle, oval, and a banner punch all have in common?

They make one cute little thank you card!!

These little beauties are the thank you cards from my son's birthday party.  If you didn't get a chance to see those, they were part of the April Hop, you can see them here!

The best part about this invite?  It was SO easy because punches RULE!!

   Who knew the banner punch could be so versatile!
Just punch that bad boy out, cut it right down the center and viola! you have a cute tie for your bandanna!

Also seen here, the hexagon embossing folder and core d'nations paper.  I am a sad sad girl that this paper is retiring.  It's so neat!

This face was made using a 2 1/2 in circle punch, and the 2nd oval from the Ovals framelit set.

Now, I know the Thought Bubbles framelit is not a punch...but it should be!!

This word set is quickly becoming a favorite of mine.  Just Sayin'
Best part:  Buy the framelits and the stamp set TOGETHER in a bundle right now!!

And just to give you an idea of what my son thought of his thank you cards...

lets just say he approved!

Time to continue your journey!

Quick and Easy Mother's Day Card

Happy Mother's Day!

Wait, what?  It's not this weekend...DON'T PANIC!!  :)

But if it was, wouldn't you like a quick and easy card you can make for mom to pop in the mail so you can be early this year?!

How about this?

The beauty of this card is that the elements are so simple!

The Fresh Prints Designer Paper Pack is the perfect backdrop for the cloud of good news!

The ribbon has a pom pom look to it by tying multiple pieces together leaving tails all over the place.

Notice the words on the cloud?  You can send this to your mom, your aunt, your gramma, your sister....whoever!  I hand wrote the sentiment and used a thumping technique with the markers to get a multicolored effect.

Another Awesome Swap Hop!

This past month, many of the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration designers participated in an Occasions Catalog Card Swap. Instead of keeping all of these beautiful card samples to ourselves, we wanted to share them with you, too! Today's blog hop will spotlight a handful of Stampin' Up's Occasions Catalog products as each of us who participated chose a different stamp set to showcase.

As you hop along, please be sure to comment and show some love on every blog...and be sure to pin it, too! We are always excited to hear from our followers! You should have just left stop number 8 on the SSINK Occasions Catalog Blog Hop – Diana E. of Stampin' Fun with Diana. If so, you are in the right spot. If a link doesn’t work or you get off track, you will find the full blog hop lineup below. And, be sure to come visit us at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration where we 'inkspire' you 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year!

 
 

Welcome to Organized Chaos!  

Its always a thought bubble away from a real party!

Just Sayin'

I chose to highlight my absolute favorite go to stamps!!   The Just Sayin' stamp set.   

How can you not love these awesome sayings?  They add the perfect element of fun and can be used in so many ways!

I was so happy with that card....I recreated it with the SAME Birthday Basics DSP, but used different base and accent colors.  Totally changed the "feel" of the card, but I didn't have to change much!
