Stylin' Stampin' Blog Hop/FAVORITE TOOL!

Thank you so much for joining us for the September Stylin' Squad Blog Hop! This month we are focusing on the tools of the stampin' trade.  Specifically, each of our favorite stamping tools.  It's amazing the kinds of tools that have been created to help us along in our paper crafting addictions.  This month's blog hop will showcase many of the Stampin' UP! tools that are now available to us in the 2013-14 Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog and Holiday Catalog and even a couple of products that are so new that they aren't in either catalog!  We hope you enjoy seeing how we use the old and the new tools and are inspired to come up with your own great projects!

I chose the NEW Envelope Punch Board!

I decided to make this Mini Album!  I used the Epic Day DSP pack and stickers because I am heading off to San Diego today for the  SU! Getaway and thought this would be fun to put some momentos  and photos in of our trip!

Here are some of the inside pages.  The DSP actually covers little pockets behind them, and if you watch the video on how to make this, you will see them and understand where they are.  It was really difficult to write out instructions, so I linked the video below.   I chose this tool, not only because it's so versatile, but who doesn't get frustrated when making cards and odd sized ones at that, and don't have an envelope to fit it.  This tool has the measurements for 66 DIFFERENT sizes!  So, if you don't have one ordered already, you should, contact me today or order online!
