Fab Friday 179

Hi stampers!  Happy Friday!  Who's ready for Christmas?  I'm certainly not, lol!  There's never enough time for everything, especially Christmas crafting for me!  I had to make time for Fab Friday at least!  We have a sketch this week!

I took a few liberties on this one and this is what I came up with!

I kind of LOVE this one!  I'll be short on the details in lieu of more Christmas prep lol!  I did do a watercolor wash and then some stamping and splatters.

Make some time in your holiday to play along with us, ok!?

Happy stamping!

Don't You Forget About Me

Hi stampers!  Happy hump day!  I've not been posting as I haven't felt very good this week which is especially bad when you're trying to do ALL the things before Christmas!


My card today, comes to you partially from the Annual Catalog, which I feel we kind of forget about!   I'll be sharing some cards I made with Making Christmas Bright and some Holiday Catalog goodies over the next few days!  Dig those other sets out and use them before it's too late!!!!

 
Here, Perfectly Plaid Pairs so well with the star accents!  I also love my trees which I stamped in Garden Green and Mint Macaron!  I just think this is the cheeriest little card!

The full supply list can be found on my Bada-Bing Paper Crafting FB page!

Off to try to check off the rest of my Christmas list!  Wish me luck!

A Sweet Treat

Hi stampers!  Happy Thursday!  I finally have a different stamp set to share with you today.  I've been obsessed with The Night Before Christmas Suite (and still am) but I have a cute little project for you today that will come in handy!  You're gonna need these for teacher gifts and what not!  I whipped this up the other day for Ian's Occupational Therapist.  I like to give gift cards but they are SO boring, am I right?

Enter Stampin' Up!

All you need is our cute and pre-printed Pillow Boxes!  Add a little embellishment and they are the perfect gift card holder!  I used Yummy Christmas and Itty Bitty Christmas for a cute and fun package!

You can find all the details in my Fb group!

Happy stamping....and wrapping!

Can't Stop Won't Stop

Hi stampers!  Happy Wednesday!  I'm getting a late start blogging, this week has been bananas with appointment and swim lessons and music programs and more!  I have a few minutes while Ian is in OT so here I am!  Don't forget that today only is FREE SHIPPING with a $50 order!  I placed mine this morning!  Get yourself some goodies or wrap up your shopping for the crafty folks on your list or BOTH!

If you haven't grabbed any of the Night Before Christmas Suite, you really need to!  I just can't stop using it!  Today I have a card I copied from the catalog.  It is SO cute and so easy!  If you are looking for quick last minute Christmas cards, grab this DSP!  All I used was the DSP, the coordinating stamp set and a punch!  Easy peasy!  And all of the prints in this retro looking paper are fantastic!

I swear those lights actually look like they are glowing and I just want to go hang out in this tree lot with some hot cocoa!!!!

The supply list can be found in my group!

So what are you ordering today?

Memories & More....& More

Hi stampers!  Happy Tuesday!  I'm back today with another card from the Night Before Christmas Memories & More items!  Yesterday, I shared a rather simple card with you.  Today, I have a more complex card and THIS is what I love about these items!  You can make something very simple and very cute or something more involved like this card!

I threw a lot of stuff on here and I have to say I love the combo with Poppy Parade and Cherry Cobbler together which I didn't expect!  I added a small strip of the coordinating DSP for contrast.  My trees are fussy cut and I added some of the puff paint for snow!  That stuff is so fun and like magic when it puffs up!  I also really love that wooden element!  So fun!  A couple of snowflake sequins finish it off!  Seriously, so much stuff!  It's still a pretty simple card but I just love it, it's one of my favorites I've made in a while!

Have you tried the Memories & More items yet?  You really should!

You can order them tomorrow!  Spend $50 and you can get FREE shipping!

All the supplies used can be found on my FB group!

Very Merry Very Easy

Hi stampers!  Happy Monday, I hope today is a great start to a new week!  I have exciting news!  On Wednesday, Stampin' Up is having free shipping!  Wahoo!  I'll be ordering, will you?

If you need last minute Christmas cards, I have JUST the items for you to order!  Our Night Before Christmas Memories & More Card Pack and Night Before Christmas Memories & More Cards & Envelopes make the cutest and easiest cards!  You can just adhere the card pack cards onto the card bases and done!  There are stickers for accents and sentiments so you don't even need to stamp!  Just check out this jolly guy!

I mean, how stinking cute is this guy????  (What's not cute is the green ink all over my hands from my class yesterday, but oh well lol!)  I just am in love with him.  I did add a small sentiment I embossed from the Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set because it's just sweet and my favorite.  But seriously, if you are looking for some easy cards, this is IT!

They are also great for memory keeping as well!

Pick up a pack or two on Wednesday!



Happy stamping!

Fab Friday 178

Hi stampers!  Happy Friday!  I didn't post yesterday!  Life has been busy since we got back from the holiday and today was the first day I didn't have any appointments or really pressing to-dos so know what I did?  A whole lot of nothing :-)

But, I did put the finishing touches on today's card for Fab Friday!   I think it's a festive little color challenge!

This card didn't turn out as bold as I expected with the colors but I still like it!

I heat embossed in white and then watercolored.  This image is pretty detailed but also pretty easy to color.

I know it's a busy time of year, but I hope you can come stamp along with us!

Happy stamping!

You're Missing Out

Hi stampers!  Happy hump day!  I have a million things to do this week and it's flying by!  That means a quick card for today and what's quicker than My Paper Pumpkin?  If you're not getting this little crafty box each month, you're missing out!  Take these Christmas cards for example!  So cute and so easy!

If you're local to Tulsa, I have two spots available on Sunday at 1 to make the coordinating tags from the November kit!  It's $15 for 24 tags.  Think how impressed your friends and family will be when you wrap up their packages and tie on your hand made tag!

Also, don't forget to grab your favorite holiday items quick!  Some are even on sale with the end of year close out!  Check out my shopping link to see what you need!

Happy stamping!

Holly Jolly

Hi stampers!  Happy Tuesday!  I got the tree up last night but not decorated, it's something at least!  I think I need another tree for all our ornaments though, hehe!

On to another Christmas card!  I got the idea for this one from fellow demo Alisa Tilner.  The Stampin' Blends and this bundle were just made for each other as well as the Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder!

This guy is just so jolly!  And so fun to color!  Get him while you can!  December if flying by just like he'll do with Rudolph soon!

Supplies can be found in my FB group.

Happy stamping!

Christmas Gleaming

Hi stampers!  Happy Monday and happy December!  I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!  We went home and got to see our families and some friends and I had my 20th (how did that happen?) class reunion!  I didn't blog or anything and I'm kind of glad I just enjoyed our time away!  But now, I'm full on Christmas mode!  I can't believe there is less than a month to use up all my goodies from the Holiday Catalog, where does the time go?????  And let's not mention the 1000 other things on my to do list!

Anyway, here's a festive card with ornaments since I don't have my tree up yet :-)

I watercolored my ornaments and I think they are gorgeous with the gold embossing!  I also used a few of the Copper Elements and sponged Mint Macaron on the back of them for my greenery.  My gold accent is from the Christmastime Is Here Suite and I wasn't able to link it but that's where it's from.

Updated:  I had a lot of comments and questions about the coloring here so I did a little video.  Hope this is helpful.

Now off to hopefully clean up from unpacking and get the tree up!

Happy stamping!
