The month of love. Like so many other instances currently (ahem) people are usually divided on Valentine's Day. They either love the holiday or hate it. No matter your opinion on the holiday, the designer's as Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration hope that you know that we love all of our readers. So today we are sharing the love with our February Blog Hop theme of "Love Is In the Air."</div>

You should have just left stop #5 ~Pamela at <a href="http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/stinkytofu/blog?directBlogUrl=/blog/2075584/entry/02_09_17_blog_hop">Stinky Tofu</a>. If so, you are in the right place! If you get off track, or a link happens to not work, you'll find a full lineup at the bottom of this post. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I mentioned love earlier. We LOVE to hear from our readers. Please share the love and leave a comment for each designer of what you loved about their post or project. </div>

I love the Paper Pumpkin kits that Stampin' Up! offers. A monthly surprise, it's like Christmas comes 13 times a year! Plus they are always spot on for the time of year. The January kit provided enough supplies to make 24 of the treat bags featured here. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are super cute, and I'm so excited that there is enough for everyone in my office, plus my book club that meets this weekend! Quick, easy and done! (Plus who doesn't LOVE handmade AND chocolate?!?!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In addition, the "I adore you," "For an amazing friend," and "just a little thanks" stamps from the included set can be used year round! For that matter, the "Love" would be great for anniversary or wedding cards.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Speaking of cards, this kit could have been broken down and made in to cards instead. I didn't because I need all of the treat bags for my groups. Guess I should go see if there are refills of the kit available for purchase! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today is the last day of our countdown because the 2017 Occasions Catalog is now live! The Falling In Love Suite is going to be very popular for gorgeous cards and lots of wedding cards!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I used the <b>Falling In Love Designer Series Paper</b> and <b>Lace Doilies</b> from the product suite. I also used the <b>Love Sparkles</b> stamp set from the Occasions catalog that I received free from On Stage in November.<br />
<br />

I love this suite because our school colors are black and gold, so I was instantly drawn to it as soon as I saw it! I used two patterns from the <b>Urban Underground Speciality Designer Series Paper.</b> The darker piece I embossed with the <b>Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder</b>. I added a star from the <b>Urban Underground Embellishments</b>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The stamp is from the Tin of Cards set and then I used the Stitched Shapes framelits. </div>

<br />
<br />
As a plant lover, the Succulent Garden Suite in the 2017 Occasions Catalog is one of my favorites. I also love all of the colors that it includes, and there's gingham paper *swoon*.<br />
<br />
We are only two days away from these products being available for order! Are you excited?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K2airihoWoo/WGgpsmVQp5I/AAAAAAAAFCU/fgWMjl9Zd3wuVM98fNkBZL_r2gYaGw0lgCLcB/s1600/Succulent%2BGarden.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="287" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K2airihoWoo/WGgpsmVQp5I/AAAAAAAAFCU/fgWMjl9Zd3wuVM98fNkBZL_r2gYaGw0lgCLcB/s400/Succulent%2BGarden.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
See that yummy Sweet Sugarplum gingham paper? Both prints are from the <b>Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper</b>. You can also catch a glimpse of the Sweet Sugarplum <b>Succulent Garden 3/8' Ribbon Combo Pack</b>. It also comes with a spool of Whisper White, and these ribbons are so soft and fluffy.<br />
<br />
I also used the <b>Oh So Succulent stamp set</b> and <b>Succulent Framelit Dies</b>. The framelits are a must so you don't have to fussy cut around all those plants! The greeting is from another stamp set in the Occasions catalog, Window Shopping.<br />
<br />

<br />
I've been playing so much with new products lately, that for today's color challenge, I decided to focus on current products from the Annual Catalog that I haven't used in awhile.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BYMHKDfCAc0/WGmzXOLF4DI/AAAAAAAAFDI/nKmQTUmvYb4WhT1DBjFBPlOtlzPkz_bIQCLcB/s1600/%2523SSINKCC41.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BYMHKDfCAc0/WGmzXOLF4DI/AAAAAAAAFDI/nKmQTUmvYb4WhT1DBjFBPlOtlzPkz_bIQCLcB/s400/%2523SSINKCC41.jpg" width="340" /></a></div>
<br />
The stamp set is <b>Pretty Kitty</b>. I colored the image with <b>Blender Pens</b> and the ink colors from the color challenge. The patterned paper is from the <b>2015-2017 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack</b>.<br />

The 2017 Stampin' Up! Occasions catalog is by far by favorite catalog in quite some time. All of the products are fabulous!<br />
<br />
The Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration countdown continues today with the Sending Love Suite. As you can imagine, it is primarily geared towards valentine's day, however there are SOOOO many more uses for it!<br />
<br />

This thank you card features the <b>Sending Love Designer Series Paper</b>. Had I not told you, would you have thought it was valentine themed paper?<br />
<br />
Other products used that are not in the Occasions catalog are the Stitched Shaped framelits, Thankful Thoughts stamp set, and Polka Dot embossing folder.<br />

The 2017 Occasions Catalog from Stampin' Up! goes live on January 4th. As a demonstrator, I was able to preorder several products from the new catalog and have already been having fun playing with them!<br />
<br />
Today the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Design team is starting our countdown to the new catalog by featuring a different suite of products each day. Today our feature is Party Animal.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
My card features the <b>Party Animal Designer Series Paper</b>, which is the Crushed Curry background with the candles on it. I also used the <b>Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits dies</b>, which will make a pop-up for inside your card, or you can trim it down for the front like I did. I used the <b>Balloon Adventures stamp set</b> to stamp the balloons and greeting. I also added a few Crushed Curry enamel dots from the Regals collection, which is in the current Annual Catalog.<br />
<br />

Since winter has decided to come on big and bad in Kansas the last couple weeks (that wind!), I decided to feature the cute snowmen from Snow Place. I stamped them in Night of Navy Classic Ink on Pool Party card stock. The Let It Snow greeting is from the same set, and also stamped in Night of Navy. The snowflakes from Snow Place were stamped in Pool Party ink for a tone-on-tone effect.<br />
<br />
I created a border around the Pool Party layer by gluing the Silver 1/8" Ribbon around the edges using the Fine Tip Glue Pen. I mounted this layer on a Night of Navy base.<br />
<br />
Finally I used the Wink of Stella pen to sparkle up the snowmen and the greeting.<br />
<br />

Hello! Join us to take a break from celebrating that the election cycle is over, and enjoy some fun items made by our design team. Have you heard of CASE? It stands for Copy And Share Everything and is highly encouraged in the Stampin' Up! world. Today our theme is to CASE another member of the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration design team.<br />
<br />
As you hop along, please leave some love for each of the designers. We love to hear from our followers, and are anxious to hear what you love! You should have just left stop #3 - Nichole at <a href="http://scrappystampsandink.blogspot.com/2016/11/stylin-stampin-inkspiration-blog-hop.html">Scrappy Stamps and Ink</a>. If so, you are in the right place. If you get off track or a link doesn't work, you will find the full Blog Hop list at the bottom of this post. Let's get to the main event!<br />

I CASE'd a card that Tobe from <a href="http://thecraftsea.com/2016/09/02/white-lilies/">The Craft Sea</a> shared in September for a Thank You card challenge. I made my own DSP background with the <b>Paisleys and Posies</b> stamp set. I stamped the images in <b>VersaMark</b> on <b>Whisper White</b> card stock and then heat embossed with <b>Crystal Clear Embossing Powder</b>. I used the <b>Sponge Brayers</b> to ink over them with <b>Island Indigo</b> ink and <b>Rich Razzleberry</b> ink.<br />
<br />
There's actually a gap between the two pieces, which I decided to cover with two pieces of <b>Silver 1/8" Ribbon</b>. Do you recognize that greeting? Unless you are a demonstrator, you probably won't, as it's from a new set that is being released in January! Sneak Peek!!!<br />

The September Paper Pumpkin kit was perfect for allowing me to put together Halloween treats for all my coworkers in a short amount of time. It took longer to sort the M&Ms than it did to assemble the kit!<br />
<br />

<br />
There are 15 of us in the office and there were 16 treat tubes in this kit, so it worked out perfectly! I wonder who will deserve a special treat tomorrow?<br />

So you may be wondering what I meant when I said it was a mystery. Each of us sent items to each other that we were required to use on our project for this month. This is what Cheryl sent me.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kYOVD4F3lB4/V9jFAaEHLuI/AAAAAAAAE2U/8_3hIwcWVCE65vdmJdMF6OimGuyrNmLKwCLcB/s1600/Mystery%2BItems.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kYOVD4F3lB4/V9jFAaEHLuI/AAAAAAAAE2U/8_3hIwcWVCE65vdmJdMF6OimGuyrNmLKwCLcB/s400/Mystery%2BItems.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
And this is what I created with these supplies.<br />
<br />

<br />
Since Cheryl had already used a thinlit to "decorate" the tree, I used the Metallic Thread that she sent along to thread through the holes for a garland effect. I added a Metallic Gold Star to the top the tree.<br />
<br />
Mint Macaroon and Cherry Cobbler were two of the colors featured in the piece of Designer Series Paper that Cheryl sent me. This is how I chose the colors of card stock and ink to use. Through this, I discovered that I LOVE Cherry Cobbler stamped on Mint Macaroon!<br />
<br />
I love the products that Cheryl sent, especially since I personally only own one of the three products myself. It was great to get to play with new items! Thanks, Cheryl, for the INKspiration and great products!<br />
<br />
I sent my three items to Diana. She said that my items were quite a challenge, but I knew she was up for it! Let's head over to her blog with the Next button and see what she came up with!<br />

Did you know that you can save 10% when you purchase one of the bundle versus buying the items separately? While the Cookie Cutter bundle that I used in my last <a href="http://stampindj.blogspot.com/2016/09/ssinkcc37-color-challenge.html">post</a> is darling, the bundle I used today is my absolute favorite.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JrBBPndx74U/V89pczPMj0I/AAAAAAAAE1g/EEsT3H45Cxcn1Fn8TRJx7cCOnw_urx3awCLcB/s1600/143527G.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JrBBPndx74U/V89pczPMj0I/AAAAAAAAE1g/EEsT3H45Cxcn1Fn8TRJx7cCOnw_urx3awCLcB/s400/143527G.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
It's called Festive Season Photopolymer Bundle, and you can <a href="http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/stampindj/">purchase</a> it for only $42.25! The thinlits actually punch holes around your image, so you can use thread or twine to sew! This set combines two of my favorite things: paper crafting and needlepoint!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wBOPti-XKr8/V89mSCXQpiI/AAAAAAAAE1c/tnuQaEiND2sXTR6xLNBrNG0fvSZ1ZmJcQCEw/s1600/Holiday%2BBundle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wBOPti-XKr8/V89mSCXQpiI/AAAAAAAAE1c/tnuQaEiND2sXTR6xLNBrNG0fvSZ1ZmJcQCEw/s400/Holiday%2BBundle.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>

Today the ladies at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration have a fun color challenge that can support fall or Christmas themes. I chose to go with Christmas, and used some fun new products from the 2016 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.<br />

When I saw Cookie Cutter Christmas in the new holiday catalog, I just HAD to have it! The great thing is that it also has a coordinating Cookie Cutter Builder Punch. The best news? You can purchase them as a bundle and save 10%!<br />
<br />
I wanted to do a Christmas card with the Cajun Craze, Chocolate Chip, and Garden Green color combo. The bears are just too cute, but since I was using the punch, I had to improvise on the ears. I used the bow from the punch to create the ears.<br />

<br />
Welcome to our monthly Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Blog Hop! Our theme today is ABC 123. Our Roll Call question on our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/731574963580147/">Facebook page</a> this week is about Back To School, so it all seems appropriate for August!<br />
<br />
We're so excited to have you hop with us today! If you're hopping in order, you should have just left stop #5 - Cheryl at <a href="http://createwithcheryl.me/stylin-stampin-i%E2%80%A6blog-hop-abc-123/">Create with Cheryl</a>. If you get off course, or a link doesn't work, the entire hop list is at the bottom of this post. Please leave our designers some love when you visit them. We love to hear from our readers!<br />
<br />
So what exactly does ABC 123 mean as a theme? (You were asking yourself that, right?) We were challenged to create an <b>A</b>lbum page, <b>B</b>ox, or <b>C</b>ard that used <b>1</b> stamp set, <b>2</b> designer series papers (either 2 stacks or 2 designs from the same stack), and <b>3</b> embellishments.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0RAcqmRqKRk/V6qSheZDftI/AAAAAAAAEzE/vjP3gCzF298yboaOuM7UtkR5n6wRnwMVQCEw/s1600/ABC123.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0RAcqmRqKRk/V6qSheZDftI/AAAAAAAAEzE/vjP3gCzF298yboaOuM7UtkR5n6wRnwMVQCEw/s400/ABC123.jpg" width="317" /></a></div>
<br />
As you can see, I opted for a card. My base is Tangerine Tango. My 1 stamp set was Thoughtful Banners, which you can save 15% on when you purchase it bundled with the coordinating Duet Banner Punch. My 2 DSP were A Little Foxy (which I used the reverse side of the same print for my smaller balloon), and Serene Scenery (which is my favorite DSP of all time!). The balloons were cut out with the Balloon Bouquet punch. My three embellishments were Brights Enamel Shapes, Calypso Coral Thick Baker's Twine, and Pop of Pink Designer Washi Tape.<br />
<br />
Thank you so much for stopping in and seeing my ABC 123 project! If you started at the beginning of the hop, you have reached the end. If you started in the middle, or would like to hop through again, you can use that Next button to head to Diana's blog!<br />

Earlier this month a family friend had a major surgery that left her in lots of pain. Her daughter put out a request for well wishes, and I wanted to get a card made quick so I could get it in the mail asap. In steps a quick and easy card!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O1xenWpDf-U/V3c7WEGS9xI/AAAAAAAAEqQ/-WpJiYlTn6AU0Iq-hvFLfGcCqrxe2R6hQCLcB/s1600/quickeasy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O1xenWpDf-U/V3c7WEGS9xI/AAAAAAAAEqQ/-WpJiYlTn6AU0Iq-hvFLfGcCqrxe2R6hQCLcB/s400/quickeasy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I knew that I wanted to use the greetings from <b>Here For You,</b> but I didn't feel that flowers and butterflies were the appropriate background for the sayings I wanted to use. A "sun" from <b>Kinda Eclectic</b> was just the ticket to add what I needed to this card! The color inspiration came from the <b>Moroccan Designer Washi Tape</b>.<br />
<br />
My favorite part of this card is the inside because knowing her family as I do, I'm sure they'll get a giggle out of it just as I did!<br />

<br />
Hello! It's time for another Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Blog Hop and this month we're focusing on all things summer! Our guidelines were wide open for projects to share. We could focus on summer-inspired, scrapbooking summer vacation pictures, or a project to do with kids while they are home for the summer. You'll have to hop along through everyone to see what they chose to share today!<br />
<br />
As you hop along, please leave some love on each blog. We love to hear from our followers! You should have just left stop #3 ~ Cheryl from <a href="http://createwithcheryl.me/stylin-stampin-blog-hop-theme-summer/">Create with Cheryl</a>. If you get off track, or a next button happens to not work, you'll find the entire hop list at the bottom of this post.<br />
<br />
Now that we've got the business out of the way, let's move on to the main event!<br />
<br />
Growing up on the farm, one of my favorite things about summer was catching lightning bugs (as we call them here in Kansas). Without street lights, they were easy to see. My parents had a "special" canning jar that I used to catch them in; which basically was one we never used for food, and they used an ice pick to poke holes in the lid. I would pull some grass to put in the bottom, fill the jar with lightning bugs, and keep them in my room. They weren't near as fun to watch the next morning when you couldn't see them light up! That's when I'd release them back in to their habitat.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QNmAb9-QdBw/V4Wtpf9UzKI/AAAAAAAAEwQ/enFkGSJYyf8tqflQeUV277t_yC5opTBcQCLcB/s1600/Summer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="308" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QNmAb9-QdBw/V4Wtpf9UzKI/AAAAAAAAEwQ/enFkGSJYyf8tqflQeUV277t_yC5opTBcQCLcB/s400/Summer.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I actually bought the <b>Jar of Love</b> stamp set because in my opinion it's a little bit country, just like me. I didn't realize that it had these great bugs in with it! Besides being the perfect set to use on my summer-inspired card, the best part is that the coordinating <b>Everyday Jars</b> framelits have the lightning bug framelit so you don't have to fussy cut!<br />
<br />
The <b>Serene Scenery</b> designer series paper made the perfect background for a night sky, as well as the "blanket" that my jar is sitting on. The jar lid is embossed with <b>Copper embossing powder</b>. Aren't those <b>Metallic Enamel Shapes</b> perfect for creating a starry night?<br />
<br />

Today at <a href="http://ssinkspiration.blogspot.com/2016/07/july-color-challenge-ssinkcc35.html" target="_blank">Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration</a>, we are celebrating with a red, white, & blue color challenge.<br />
<br />
The teenage son of a friend from high school injured his arm last week and may have to sit out of football this year. He's super bummed and so she asked for some cards to cheer him up. I realized that I don't have a lot of stamps geared towards teenage boys! (unless they like lots of flowers and butterflies) I finally found the perfect combination of products. I must say that this was a great color combination for a masculine card!<br />
<br />

<br />
The blue lines are from <b>Gorgeous Grunge</b>. I inked up the stamp once in <b>Dapper Denim</b> and then stamped 5 times, moving right as I went. The greeting is from <b>Here For You</b>. It's got some great greetings in it! The Real Red embellishments are the new <b>Enamel Shapes</b> in <b>Brights. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I used another stamp from <b>Here For You</b> to stamp the inside of the card as well.<br />

Can you believe that it's already July? Where has 2016 gone?<br />
<br />
Today I am sharing a birthday card I created for a very special young lady. She is a rock star for how she has managed all of the things she has been dealt in life thus far, so I am hoping I can brighten her day a bit with my card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yRAdoZSBqx8/V3NKHJ2kVTI/AAAAAAAAEo0/XWZoydyWNvk4wZj4SjwE3DL6QClRMM5LgCLcB/s1600/Stars.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="315" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yRAdoZSBqx8/V3NKHJ2kVTI/AAAAAAAAEo0/XWZoydyWNvk4wZj4SjwE3DL6QClRMM5LgCLcB/s400/Stars.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
This has been the first time that I've actually had a chance to sit down and use some of my new products. Those featured on this card are the Stylized Birthday stamp, Pop of Pink washi tape, and Serene Scenery designer series paper.<br />
<br />
The returning products that you are familiar with are Melon Mambo card stock and ink, Banner framelits, Stars Collection framelits and Lucky Stars embossing folder.<br />
<br />
We have many star themed projects for you today on the <a href="http://ssinkspiration.blogspot.com/2016/07/red-white-and-blue-stars.html" target="_blank">Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration</a> blog. Please check them out and leave some love!Stampin Djhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17590411319546754107noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8520268016320073038.post-12915190492233624302016-05-13T07:00:00.000-05:002016-05-13T07:00:11.829-05:00Hats off!Tomorrow is commencement day at our local university. One of my co-workers is finishing his MBA, so I made this card for him.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ynPNW10bJ_Q/VzUmgd9SwiI/AAAAAAAAElk/FDIw_N7DHyI01uBqvlPztyDjxIJZl0UQQCLcB/s1600/Thad%2Bgrad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="312" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ynPNW10bJ_Q/VzUmgd9SwiI/AAAAAAAAElk/FDIw_N7DHyI01uBqvlPztyDjxIJZl0UQQCLcB/s400/Thad%2Bgrad.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Our school colors are black and gold, so my color theme for this card was easy to figure out. The card base and banner are <b>Tip Top Taupe</b>. The Congrats is from <b>Tin of Cards</b>, which I stamped in <b>Versamark</b> and heat embossed with <b>Gold Embossing Powder</b>. The <b>Large Numbers framelits</b> and some <b>Gold Glimmer Paper</b> provided my focal point; while the <b>Lucky Stars Embossing Folder</b> and <b>Basic Black Cardstock</b> provided the finishing touch.<br />
<br />
Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration is featuring framelits today.

<br />
Hello! The April Showers didn't really show up around here, but the May Showers have brought May flowers! The Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration gals wanted to brighten your day today with lots of flowers.<br />
<br />
As you hop along, please show some love and leave comments for each of our designers. We are always excited to hear from our followers and what you love! You should have just left stop number 1 on the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Blog Hop - Diana at <a href="http://stampinfunwithdiana.blogspot.com/2016/05/ssinkspiration-may-blog-hop-flowers.html" target="_blank">Stampin' Fun with Diana</a>. If you get off track or a link doesn't work, the entire blog hop list is at the bottom of this post. Now how about some flowers?<br />
<br />
I got so into the flower spirit when looking at my stamps, and I just HAD to play with new products, so I made three cards to share with you today.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SLw08dRTeWU/VzP57NHMA6I/AAAAAAAAEkk/crqbGgWfGOsblR9LCYkK9WOm_tOhRPr0wCLcB/s1600/May%2BBlog%2BHop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="163" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SLw08dRTeWU/VzP57NHMA6I/AAAAAAAAEkk/crqbGgWfGOsblR9LCYkK9WOm_tOhRPr0wCLcB/s400/May%2BBlog%2BHop.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I can't pick a favorite, so I'm going to tell you about all three.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-swPbJkjCXoM/VzP6FhSJ36I/AAAAAAAAEko/Hq9OeefC-aoo-gEu9rwRhijXC_dQ8E6KQCLcB/s1600/Shine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-swPbJkjCXoM/VzP6FhSJ36I/AAAAAAAAEko/Hq9OeefC-aoo-gEu9rwRhijXC_dQ8E6KQCLcB/s400/Shine.jpg" width="326" /></a></div>
<br />
The Shine card features the flower stamp from <b>Crazy About You</b>, which was punched with the coordinating <b>Flower Medallion</b> punch. I stamped it in <b>Flirty Flamingo ink</b> on <b>Whisper White Cardstock</b>. Next I used the <b>Sunburst Framelit</b> on <b>Pool Party Cardstock</b>. I layered that over a piece of DSP from the new <b>Playful Palette</b> paper stack. The Shine greeting is from <b>Sunburst Sayings</b>. I stamped in it <b>Sweet Sugarplum</b> on <b>Sweet Sugarplum Cardstock</b>. Then I used my <b>Gold Wink of Stella</b> pen for the first time (can you believe it?). I didn't let it fully dry before I took the picture, therefore it looks a little multicolored, but it's not. The final touch was a <b>Basic Rhinestone Jewel</b> in the flower center.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t5_En9kh0-I/VzP7s7jjEmI/AAAAAAAAEk4/_fNQxfreeWEfrskMvaxXbVF4tfREBE_8wCLcB/s1600/Special%2BCalla.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="313" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t5_En9kh0-I/VzP7s7jjEmI/AAAAAAAAEk4/_fNQxfreeWEfrskMvaxXbVF4tfREBE_8wCLcB/s400/Special%2BCalla.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The next card features the calla lilies from <b>Remarkable You</b>. They were stamped in <b>Sweet Sugarplum</b> on <b>Very Vanilla Cardstock</b> and cut out using the <b>Lots of Labels</b> framelits. I layered that over another pattern from the <b>Playful Palette</b> DSP stack. The greeting is from <b>Garden In Bloom</b>, which I stamped in <b>Emerald Envy</b>. I added two Blushing Bride <b>Subtles Candy Dots</b>. The card base is <b>Sweet Sugarplum</b> embossed with the <b>Polka Dot</b> embossing folder. My final touch on this card was to color the stamen of the flowers using a <b>Blender Pen</b> and <b>Hello Honey ink</b>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jw54c0h5MQw/VzP9EJtoSwI/AAAAAAAAElE/wntxBNxV8EYMhSaPFJ8AWNs3jVjR1pZXgCLcB/s1600/Botanical%2BBirthday.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jw54c0h5MQw/VzP9EJtoSwI/AAAAAAAAElE/wntxBNxV8EYMhSaPFJ8AWNs3jVjR1pZXgCLcB/s400/Botanical%2BBirthday.jpg" width="318" /></a></div>
<br />
My final card features the <b>Bold Butterfly</b> and <b>Botanical Builder</b> framelits. The DSP is once again from the <b>Playful Palette</b> stack. The happy birthday can be found in the <b>Tin of Cards</b> stamp set, which I stamped in <b>Emerald Envy</b>. You'll never guess that the large flower is <b>Sweet Sugarplum Cardstock</b>! The smaller two are from the same DSP stack and were scraps from my first card. The <b>Bright Candy Dots</b> and <b>Botanical Garden Jewels</b> finished off this card.<br />
<br />
I'm certain that you can guess what my favorite 2016-2018 In Color is! If you're not a demonstrator, you can start getting your hands on the yummy new products on June 1st! Now, let's see what Kim (and baby Micah) has in store for us today! Just click on that Next button.<br />

Bree provided us with a fun sketch for this month's challenge at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QD3idtOmwqQ/VuYchXMVoFI/AAAAAAAAEg8/XXH5HMWBz_0Xlry086G57nZe4Ee0IwZ8A/s1600/%2523SSINKCS31-March.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="308" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QD3idtOmwqQ/VuYchXMVoFI/AAAAAAAAEg8/XXH5HMWBz_0Xlry086G57nZe4Ee0IwZ8A/s400/%2523SSINKCS31-March.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I took a little creative liberty with the challenge, because I didn't want my flowers to overshadow my greeting.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gHq_cQO7lTE/VuYcw2lj4uI/AAAAAAAAEhA/zL0HjYgoiaYdNgw6_oZp23LeWKrLE1CwQ/s1600/%2523SSINKCS31.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="317" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gHq_cQO7lTE/VuYcw2lj4uI/AAAAAAAAEhA/zL0HjYgoiaYdNgw6_oZp23LeWKrLE1CwQ/s400/%2523SSINKCS31.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
This was the first time that I inked up <b>Crazy About You</b>, which I stamped the flower in <b>Daffodil Delight classic ink</b> on <b>Daffodil Delight card stock. </b>I then used the coordinating <b>Flower Medallion punch</b> to cut it out. I was going to add some vellum butterflies, but I liked the simplicity of just a single flower image. I did feel like it needed an extra pop so I added the Perfect Plum <b>Regals Candy Dot.</b><br />
<br />
The base is <b>Watermelon Wonder</b>. I really didn't like this color when it was released, but it has really grown on me. The green patterned layer, as well as the banner that I stamped the Happy Birthday on are both from <b>Going Places Designer Series Paper stack.</b> The larger banner is <b>Pear Pizzaz card stock. </b>The banners were created using the <b>Banner Triple punch. </b>The happy birthday is from <b>That Thing You Did</b> and is stamped in <b>Watermelon Wonder classic ink</b>.<br />

I featured three SAB items on my card today. The <b>Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper</b>, which is still available while supplies last, a clear card with a frame printed on it from the <b>Memories In the Making Project Life Specialty Card Collection</b>, and perhaps my favorite, one of the new products, the <b>Metallics Glitter Tape</b>. If you need to add some shimmer and shine to any project, this is the item for you!<br />
<br />
The other products that I used are <b>Daffodil Delight card stock</b>, <b>Pacific Point classic ink</b>, and <b>Enjoy the Little Things stamp set. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Thanks for stopping by today! Let's head over to Jenny G's next and see what she has in store for us.<br />
