It's time for the Stampin' Addicts Occasions Catalog Blog Hop! I've been so busy lately that I haven't had a lot of time to blog or even create. But I love the Stampin' Addicts so I make sure that if I do anything, it is this blog hop! If you are hopping in order, than you are arriving here from
Kim's Stitchin' n' Stampin' blog and her fabulous take on Butterfly Basics. If this is your first stop, all the blogs are linked in a circle so you won't miss a thing. If you get lost along the way or want to chat it up, you can click on the banner and head to Stampin' Addicts.
There is a plethora of stuff to love in this catalog. (We won't talk about how much I've already spent!) But today I'm showcasing one of my favorites: the Crazy for You bundle. It is available in wood or clear mount as well as photopolymer if you want to save a few bucks. It is a set of word Thinlits and a stamp set that helps you complete the thought. Here are just a few projects I've made with it recently (paired with lots of other new stuff):
My first card was inspired by a card in the Sale-A-Bration brochure featuring the fabulous Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper. The paper has a glossy print that resists ink so you can use all kinds of fun techniques to add color to it. Here I spritzed it and then added a little more ink with a sponge to deepen the colors.

Next is a pocket card using the new a Mini Treat Thinlit Dies. My nearly 12 year old son helped me design this one, telling me it needed that cute little flower in the corner. Love it when he is helpful.
