Burlap and Sun ~ Stylin' Stampin' Squad Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to May's edition of the Stylin' Stampin' Squad Blog Hop!  This month we're all getting punchy!  We're here to show off our punches with some fun and fabulous punch art creations.

 

As you hop along, please be sure to comment and show some love on every blog! We are always excited to hear from our followers! You should have just left stop number seven on the Stylin' Stampin' Squad Blog Hop -  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.

 

I've been wanting to make a new summer-time wreath for my front door and what says summer better than sunflowers?!?  I was really bummed about the Blossom Builder punch being retired, but then I remembered that it was still available in MDS and I could use my e-cutter to cut them out....WOOHOO!!! Wanna know what's even better?  You can make the size of the punch bigger or smaller in MDS to fit your needs.   With a few clicks of my mouse, I had a full sheet of petals and quickly cut them out to create these bright and cheerful sunflowers.

I put the flowers on an easy, and fun to make, burlap wreath (thanks to my BFF, Erica, for bringing me the supplies from the big city craft store...you saved my bacon friend!)  I still feel like this may need a little something else, but haven't quiet figured out what yet.  Feel free to share any suggestions when you leave me some love :-)

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso

Other Supplies ~ MDS Blossom Builder Punch, Silhouette e-cutter, ALL Circle Punches, Basics Glimmer Brads

Bree here today from Craft-somnia Momma and I have a cute little Easter Basket to share with you today.  I can not take credit for the design though...I found a great YouTube video HERE from Caroline Hallett. The basket featured in her video is a bit bigger than the one I made, but I shared the measurement changes in my post today over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration.  Head on over and check it out!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Baked Brown Sugar, Naturals White, Watercolor Paper, Soft Sky

Ink ~ Baked Brown Sugar, Soft Sky, Crushed Curry

Stamp Sets ~ Chalk Talk, Backyard Basics

Other Supplies ~ Chalk Talk Framelits, Backyard Basics Framelits, 1-1/4" & 1-3/8" Circle Punches, Regals Buttons, Subtles Buttons, Burlap Ribbon, Crochet Trim, Metallic Clothes Pins

 

We made this at my Stamp Club this month and everyone loved it!  There are so many other ways to decorate and embellish these adorable little baskets.  Be on the lookout for another great idea from my good friend and fellow SSInk design team member, Cynthia at Ink-A-Doodle-Creations.  We had a friendly little challenge between the two of us creating these baskets and she will be posting hers next week.  Stay tuned!

 

I hope I've INKspired you to CREATE something fabulous today! 

 

Happy Stamping!

 

 

 



Rustic Roses ~ Monday Montage



Hello and welcome back to another Monday Montage blog hop!  I hope you love all of the creations that all of these amazing ladies have come up with this week...I know I do!

Those of you who know me well know that I don't sit still for long...maybe that's where my son gets it from!  ;-)  I have the hardest time sitting through a full movie and an even harder time sitting in the car or flying on a plane for long periods of time.   If I have something to keep my hands busy, being stuck in one spot for hours on end is a little more tolerable.  So, knowing that we were going to be spending A LOT of time in the car this weekend, I cut out some roses using the Spiral Flower Die before we headed out of town and spent a better part of our travel time curling, shaping and crumpling the flowers.  It helped the trip go by faster and kept me from being fidgety the entire trip. 

My idea for today's project stemmed from our last Monday Montage Blog Hop and I was happy to finally put my idea to work!  But now I need to figure out what to make for dinner using the diced tomatoes I opened.  Why is that I never have something like a tin can on hand when I need one?!?!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Pink Pirouette

Ink ~ Soft Suede (sponged on doily)

Other Supplies ~ Spiral Flower Die, Burlap Ribbon, Very Vanilla Seam Binding Ribbon, Crochet Trim, Linen Thread, Antique Brads, Tea Lace Doilies, Jute Twine (non-SU)

 

This pretty little creation was the perfect touch to complete my mantle for spring.  Now if spring would just hurry up and get here...

 

Now it's time to hop on over to Cathy and I promise her post will WOW you once again.  Or if you prefer to hop backwards, you can head on back to the amazing creation by Amy ...she inspires me each and every week!  Either way, just make sure you make the whole loop and don't miss any of us.  And don't forget to leave us some love on our blogs...we love hearing from you!

 

  Thanks for hopping along with us today!
