Looking Sharp and Simple

Hi stampers! Happy Monday! I'm sharing another very simple card today using just our notecards, stamps, and ink! The stamp set is a super cute one from the new 2020 January-June Mini Catalog!

I LOVE puny sets and this one is so cute! I'm such a sucker for them! One of my very first purchases was a similar set!

I mean! How cute are those????? Since it's been pretty cold out the last few days, I thought I'd use the cactus and pretend it's warmer here! You may be asking who you'd send this kind of card to and I think you could send it to anyone and that it would just make a fun any time, any occasion card to a friend!

I did pull a Blender Pen in to add some color to the cactus. That's a great tip if you don't have a big collection or markers. You can basically make a marker out of any ink pad you have! I added my "sand" from the Label Me Bold Stamp Set, it's a cute little accent set!

Ian is home recovering after being sick over the weekend so hopefully I can get some stamp time in, we'll see!

Happy stamping!

Bookworm

Hi stampers! Happy Hump Day! I have a simple little card to share today using the Check You Out Stamp Set which is the one I used on World Card Making Day! This one just uses stamps, ink, and paper again but you can set it apart just a bit with some fussy cutting!

My WCMD cards were kind of girly and I think this one is a little more masculine. My dad recently had a small surgery so I think I'll send him this one!

You can find the supplies in my FB group. Make sure to join if you haven't!

Happy stamping!

WCMD Part 1

Hi stampers! Saturday was World Card Making Day! I spent a good portion of the afternoon stamping away and I couldn't be happier! Since having Ian, I have a hard time staying focused and stamping for long periods of time as well as coming up with ideas! Even when he's in Daddy-Day-Care (aka sno-cones, bike riding, and video games hahahaha)! You'll hear me yell at him to go hang out with dad in the video LOL! The kid is with me ALLLLLLL day and only sees Jon in the evenings yet he still wants to bug me. I mean, at the end of the day, I don't even want to hang out with ME! ;-) Anyway, you can find the video here in my FB Group.

In the video, I just kind of thought you could hang out with me while I stamped and see a bit of my creative process! I started out with a simple card using Stamps, Ink, and notecards and then I did a slightly stepped up version. Props to Erica Cerwin because I cased the general idea and colors from her <3 p="">

The color is slightly off since it's so dark here in the mornings! But how cute are these cards? For the stepped up version, I just cut out the middle book and added a heart on dimensionals. A couple of glitter dots finished it up, keeping it still pretty simple and mailable!

Stay tuned for something a little unexpected with this little guy (or gal). You can sneak a peek of that if you join the group and watch the video! That's also where you can find the supply list!

I hope you got to stamp on WCMD and had a great one!

Happy stamping!

An Apple A Day

Hi stampers! We're halfway to the weekend! Will you be stamping over the weekend? Saturday is World Card Making Day so I'm going to try to get in my stamp room!

Here's a fun fall card you could send to anyone! I love the Harvest Hellos stamp set! Ian had a little taste test of different varieties of apples last week and keeps talking about it. That totally reminds me of this card, ha! His favorite was the pink lady!

Our DPS stacks sure make cute apples! I used the Brights Collection here with Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, and Granny Apple Green (fitting, no?).

I used some post it notes and masked off the comma and the rest of this sentiment from the set and just used the Hey There. Don't forget you can usually use your sentiment in any way you want!

I did some pattern mixing yesterday and today should we call this pattern coordinating? Ha! I paired the Buffalo Check Background Stamp with the gingham. I wasn't sure it would work, but it totally does, or at least I think so. What do you think?

In keeping with our new and improved website, the supply list can now be found on my FB group which you can get to HERE. Make sure to click and join so you don't miss anything!

Happy stamping!

Hey There, Pumpkin

Hi stampers! Happy Monday! Technology is NOT my friend! Anyone else? I'm sharing a cute card today but my photo editing app wasn't working so I did the best I could, I hope I do it justice since it's JUST SO CUTE!

How fun is the pattern mixing on this card??? Don't be afraid to mix them up! And don't forget about our Decorative Masks! This set from the Holiday Catalog are super cute and to be honest, I forgot these simple dots were in there! I inked them up with a sponge and made sure I went heavier with the ink in some places and lighter in the other and I LOVE it!

One of my oldest and best friends always greets me with, "Hey, Pumpkin", so this card will be on the way to her!

Fab Friday 173

Hi stampers! Happy Friday! It's time for another challenge over at Fab Friday! It's a sketch this time around and I really love it!

I grabbed From Our House To Yours off of my shelf! This is an adorable little set and I thought it would be so cute here, and it was! Again, you can find the supplies linked on my FB group! If you don't follow, please do so!

I wouldn't normally use all of these colors together but I think they work! The picture doesn't do it justice! It won't stop raining long enough to get a good photo!

This card is destined to my best friend who I miss daily! The inside says "our hearts are next door." I love that!!!! <3 p="">
Made sure yo check out what the rest of the team did and play along!

Happy stamping!

Flowering Sunset

Hi stampers! Long time no talk, no stamp! I just haven't been able to get it together to do anything stamp wise lately! And truth be told, I had a headache over the weekend and was just tired so I laid around and I'm not sorry about it :-)

I experimented a little with my background here and I cannot remember how I did it. Does this surprise you? I know I spritzed it but did I color with ink, colors pencils? I have no idea lol! Oh well, if you want to recreate it, just play around! I mean that's what I did.

I just adore this stamp set. It's so fabulous! I'm not going to link all the supplies for this one since I can't remember exactly what I did but I put in the basics. I want to say these colors are Grapefruit, Melon, and Grape but don't hold me to it ;-)

Happy stamping!

Mailable Monday - SAB Brochure Case

Hi stampers! Happy Monday! I've been trying to publish this post alllllll day Gotta love a Monday! Have you checked out my Instagram? You can find me @BadaBingPaperCrafting and you can see a fun little time lapse video of the making of this desert scene!

I cased this one from the SAB brochure. I just love the Flowering Desert Stamp Set and it looks really great paired with the sentiment from Part of My Story which is a SAB set so you can earn it free with a $50 purchase!

The colors are also great together! This one has a lot of stamping off which you don't even need scratch paper for this time! Just stamp one then stamp another and maybe even another! I added some faux stitching with Granite Gray marker because honestly, I can't remember how to thread my little sewing machine and it seemed like a lot of work ;-)

Happy stamping!

Fab Friday 146

Hi stampers! Happy Friday! I have not stamped much or blogged this week. I've been in a FUNK physically and mentally this week! But hopefully, since it's Friday, I'm out of it! I did at least make this card for Fab Friday. It's time for a new challenge and we have some PRETTY colors for you!

I know sometimes five color challenges can be hard but I really love these colors. I want to show you the image that inspired them that I found on Pinterest, it's so pretty!

SEE! Pretty! And I had gemstones in mind when I made my card. I was sad that we didn't have any gemstone stamps after the last catalog BUT we had some gemstone dies! The Eclectic Layers Framelits have a couple of diamonds in them.

I cut one of each color and then went back with my embossing mat and the faceted gem and embossed them all. I have a few videos of this on my youtube channel but my biggest tip is to use washi tape to secure them before embossing. And put the die cutting face up....ask me how I know :-)

I made my own sentiment using stamps and die cuts. I was able to stamp in black on the glimmer paper!

I also took sponge daubers (I found this worked better than sponges, I tried that first) and went around the edges and then lightly went over them to make them appear even more faceted. I really love how they turned out!

I hope you enjoyed today's card and these colors and I hope you'll play along! There are SO many things you can do with this combo!

Happy stamping!
