Taco Thursday

Hi stampers!  Quick post!  Here's a cute card with Witty-Cisms which is just so cute!  And I love me some tacos!


The pigment sprinkles were perfect for a background!

Do you love tacos?  Do you love this guy?

Happy stamping!

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!

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!

Fab Friday 171

Hi stampers!  Happy Friday!  It's a happy day around here as Jon comes home from being in Belgium all week!  Yay!  And followed by a long weekend!  It's also time for a new Fab Friday challenge!  We have a sketch this time!


I've had this background just waiting to be made into a card!  I'll link the video I did a few weeks ago for the masks and Pigment Sprinkles below!  It's such a fun technique!  This sketch was perfect for this background because it doesn't need much to make it stand out!  For my letters, I just stamped them and cut them out with the dies, then you can just trim off the layering parts leaving just the letters.


I stuck pretty true to the sketch and didn't need much to finish this one off!  Hope you like it!  And I hope you play along with us and check out what the rest of the team did!

Here's the video which works for any of our masks, this is just the one I chose to use!

Check You Out

Hi stampers!  Happy Thursday!  It's Thursday, right?  HA!  I'm not used to having Ian in school four days in a row yet and now a short week is going to really throw me next week!  I meant to have a post for you yesterday but I got a headache Tuesday night which turned into a migraine over night and I was up for hours in pain and got sick!  UGH!  I haven't gotten sick from a headache in a very long time and I'm really hoping it doesn't become a "thing" again.   Thankfully, my mom is here visiting so she could help me out.  I was able to do a little stamping today as well as take a nap which I never do!


Anyway, I've been meaning to share this card for a while because I'm in LOVE with this guy!  I left this off of my initial Annual Catalog order and that was SO STUPID!  He's so cute and I love books.  I also love that this set is perfect for #simplestamping!  I actually have very few just stamp and go sets and you NEED to add this one to your collection!


Seriously, I just can't with this card!  It's so simple and so cute!  I adore these colors together and they are making me long for fall or at least for some cooler temperatures!  You could step this one up a bit by cutting out the books and popping them up and adding a sentiment popped up as well.

Happy stamping!

Grape Ape

Hi stampers!  Ok so I didn't color this gorilla purple but I did use some Gorgeous Grape so it works, right?  Who remember The Great Grape Ape?  I'm not sure if I ever actually watched it but I remember seeing him.  Anyway, I guess he inspired this card here!

I love how our sets can be used beyond the original intent.  This set, Hey Love is mainly geared for Valentine's Day but I didn't get much use out of it before it was over (oops).  So, I repurposed this guy here just to say hi!


I colored him in with some Watercolor Pencils on Watercolor Paper.  Unfortunately, the second set of pencils isn't currently available but you could use ink just as easily.  Then, I did some layering.  I pulled in another Valentine item, the Be Mine Stitched Dies, for the background.  Did you know that a few of these dies don't actually cut on their own, but make a fun stitched design on your paper.  Great for backgrounds like this!  Occasionally I see people think that they have faulty dies but some of ours are meant to act like this!


Side note:  Isn't he just the cutest?  My sentiment is from the Well Said Stamp Set.  Don't forget about all the tiny words in all of your stamp sets!  They can find a home on any card!

And a tip for coloring.  I typically use my retired basic black ink to color with.  I ink in Versamark first and then into my black and heat emboss with clear powder.  I assume you could do this with Stazon as well.  People often ask if it affects my ink pad and I have never had any trouble.  I have a much easier time watercoloring when I emboss because it creates a little raised edge to hold the water and colors separate.

That's it for today!  Don't forget to use this set outside of Valentine's Day and pull other Valentine items in for everyday cards!

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!
