Welcome to the last Pals Blog Hop of 2014. This month we want to help you start your holiday wish list by sharing projects featuring our favorite Stampin’ Up! papers, stamps, tools and accessories. Get your wish list ready as you move along through the blog hop.

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Sue Becker at RnR Stamping #27 on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the project.

Favorite Stampin’ Up! item?!?!  How does one choose just one?!?!  I absolutely LOVE everything they have!  The color coordination was what hooked me on Stampin’ Up!  I think it’s the best thing ever that the colors match – paper, ink and accessories!  No more trying to color match!!  WooHoo!

I’d also have to say I’m a bit punch crazy.  I just love to do punch art.  Yes, I own an eCutter and it works seamlessly with MDS for cutting out shapes in any size and I have every framelit they make.  But, when I want quick and easy – I reach for my punches!

The scallop tag topper punch makes the base for a punch art Santa face
– topped with the mustache framelit.

Special characters can be made using punches –
such as this Charlie Brown from Peanuts fame.

How about a friendly dog?

or a monster truck that any little boy would love?

These are just a few of the wonderful things you can do with punches!  To see more ideas like this be sure to sign up for my newsletter and or click over to my social media links.  More fun ideas to come!

The next stop is Kerry Willard Bray at Peonies and Paper Chains #29 on the Pals Blog Hop! Thanks for visiting and I hope to see you in 2015.

Happy Stamping (and punching),
