Mother's Day Hibiscus

Hi stampers!  I hope you all had a great weekend!  We had a nice Mother's Day weekend, just the three of us.  We are actually seeing all three of our sets of family in the next three weeks :) so we will celebrate with all of them soon!

It's a day late but I'm sharing the card for my step mom today.  She LOVES hibiscus flowers and bright colors so this was the prefect card to make for her!


I did a good job at using some of my retiring products over the weekend!  This card features the Humming Along Stamp Set, Tropical Escape DSP, and Calypso Coral Ombre Ribbon all of which are retiring.  I love the Calypso Coral along with the greens in the DSP!  I really hope Cheryl is going to like it!

Happy stamping!

Fancy Friday - For Family

Hi stampers!  Happy Friday!  I've finally gotten it together to join the Fancy Friday Team! If you didn't know, we are a group of past and current Artisan Design Team members who like to hop and get fancy!

This month's theme is for family so cards for family members.  I made a Mother's Day card for my momma because we received the Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper at OnStage.  It's probably not one I would have purchased on my own BUT as soon as I saw it, I knew my mom would love it.  She loves birds, especially hummingbirds.  She has many feeders at her farm and MANY birds.  They are feisty little things and swoop and buzz and fight over the food.  It's one of my favorite things to do in the summer, sit on her porch and watch them!  I love the little chirps they make at each other, too!


Anyway, I fussy cut the bird and the flowers out of the DSP which is a great use.  Of course, there are stamps that go with the paper BUT I love how our products can stand and shine on their own as well!

My background looks fancy but was made easily with a little bit of our Brusho Crystal Color.  I just spritzed my watercolor paper a bit and then shook out some color.  I love that the yellow has just a few sprinkles of a red tint that pull in the colors from the DSP.

I added my sentiment (once I knew it was good and dry or it will spread)  from Strong and Beautiful which is in the Occasions Catalog.  It really says exactly how I feel about my momma!

A few pearls from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls finished it off.  Can you see I tried to use some things here that are retiring with the new DSP?  Make sure you grab those things before they are gone and I LOVE that our products flow together so seamlessly it doesn't matter if they are old or new!  I also purposefully tried to use not a lot of products but still make a fancy card and I think I did.  To me, the way that DSP is printed, really makes it look like the bird is flying off the paper!

Make sure to check out my Instagram at BadaBingPaperCrafting to see another fun view of this paper!

Now you're off to see my fancy friend, Rhoda!  You're going to love what she has for you!


Happy Stamping!

Blue Bird Ballad - Sneak Peek

Hi stampers!  I know, I know!  I've been majorly slacking!  I've just not been into stamping or blogging lately.  I don't know why but sometimes it just happens.  BUT, Onstage was motivating as always so I'm going to try to pick things back up.  The retiring list always makes me sad but I'm always excited for new stuff, too!  Like the Bird Ballad Suite.  I got to play with the stamp set for the make and take and was lucky enough to be able to take the stamp set home from our table supplies!  I also won the Birch Background Stamp as my prize patrol!

My mom inspired this one since she loves birds, especially bluebirds!


I've paired it with a couple of retiring products and a couple that are carrying over!  I'm sad to see Banners For You retiring so I made sure to dig it out for at least one more go-round!  The Well Said Bundle is carrying over BUT it will no longer be at a bundle discount in the new Annual Catalog so if you want the 10% off, get it now!

I'm also super sad the current DSP 6x6 color family stacks are retiring and changing prints.  I LOVE the current ones.  Oh well.  Get ready to see a lot of that paper since I have a lot to use ;-)

I'm going to try to still stamp with a lot of outgoing products since I need to use them up!  And I hope to sneak in some sneak peeks as well!

What are you sad that is retiring?  What are you excited to see?

Happy stamping!

Note:  New products cannot be linked in my supply list yet.

Mailable Monday - Mother's Day Edition

Hi stampers!  I didn't share this before Mother's Day because in true fashion, I was a last minute Lucy and made my mom's card on Saturday :-)  In my defense, their visit has left little time for stamping!  Anyway, I made a clever little card for her, or at least I think I did :-)


One of her favorite treats is soft serve ice cream and she usually get them at McDonald's.  It's sort of a running joke in our family :-)  I watercolored and cut out the little ice cream cone from A Good Day and popped it up on a watercolor wash background with Balmy Blue.

I think she liked it.  She may be ready to go home so she doesn't have to share her cones with Ian, lol!

Happy stamping!

The Mother of All Mother's Day Posts

Hi stampers!  So, as in most aspects of my life I'm lagging.  Surprise, right?  LOL!  Anyway, I wanted to share the three mother's day cards I made earlier this week for all my moms.  I guess I could have made one card for all three (yes three, we'll get to that in a minute) but where's the fun in that?  And I kind of like tailoring each card to each mom.

I made this card for my momma with the everyday hero set.  I LOVE this set and have not even come close to using it enough, dang it!  Now my mom is not big into super heroes or anything but she is the best mom around and she's a pretty incredible lady.  She likes bright colors too, so I think she'll like the new colors I used here!

I'll be missing her big time this weekend.  There haven't been many (if any?) mother's days where I haven't seen her :(


For my step mom, I used the delightful daisy suite.  She really likes flowers and this suite just kind of reminds me of her for some reason.  Do you ever just see something and it makes you think of someone?  She's the first person I thought of when I saw this in the new catalog.  The sentiment is from the oh so succulent set.  I'm STILL in denial that it's retiring!


And my third mom is my mother in law.  I made her this card because she likes mason jars :-)  She has quite a few of them decorating her house so I thought this would be cute!  Again, I'm LOVING the new in colors!  And do you SEE that cute tiny bow?????  They come with a little dimensional already glued on so you just peel and stick!  It's hard to tell in the catalog but they are made out of like a felt material, in case you were curious.


I'm not going to do a supply list since I have so many cards.  I've been skipping them with all the new stuff too, so I'll get back to them when it's updated with new supplies or I only post one card :-)

Hope everyone has a good Mother's Day...mothers and those who love like mothers alike!

Happy stamping!
