Hooray Yippee & Cheers

Hi stampers!  Lookie, I blogged again, ha!  Thanks to some free time I have at Ian's occupational therapy appointment.  He was supposed to officially start last week but with his influenza, he had to miss his first visit  Maybe I can use this time weekly to catch up on the blog!

This card was inspired by one of our amazing concept artists, Melody!  She created a super cute card and it pushed me to do something just a tad different.  It also pushed me to actually ink up this stamp set!  I have so many I haven't used!

I colored my gift with Blends in Call Me Clover, Pool Party, and I layered a couple of pinks for the heart.  I really wish we had a Mambo Melon Blend!  It was looking super plain as I mocked it all up together before adhering everything down, so I added my own background with one of the larger sentiments!  That's an idea and tip I need to remember and try more!

Some actual sequins and it was done!

Happy stamping!

I Did It

Hi stampers!  I did it. I stamped a card this weekend lol!  I've been struggling so I just sat down and did something really simple and know what?  It's really cute!

It's also a little crooked but I don't care.  I stamped!   All I did was stamp and then blend a little with a Blender Pen and then I used some ink to color in other spots.

I think I failed to share this month's special!  Ooops!  It's a good one!  This month you can purchase certain new items that coordinate with SAB items!  Use them to earn your way to the freebies!

You can check them out in my store! There are fun dies to coordinate with some of the stamp sets (think froggies and cupcakes for example) and a punch and stamp set!  There's also some items from the Annual Catalog that have been released as free items so check those out, too!

Bright Cacti

Hi stampers!  I shared on my Instagram today that I'm feeling really unmotivated and uncreative lately.  I hate that but it happens.  I try to take a step back and just ride it out but that makes me feel icky too, since I'm not creating or sharing.   There's no happy medium.  I've been trying to blog this card for a WEEK!  I was blogging pretty consistently at night after Ian went to bed but then I started watching a few more new shows and that fell by the wayside.  I'll have to get better about working on them during the day!

I have to say though, I love TV and I haven't been into many shows the last few years so I'm glad I'm exited about a few of them.  I've always loved TV and I don't feel bad about it :-)  I do plenty of other things so winding down from the day in front of the tube suits me just fine!  But I gotta stamp and blog somewhere :-)  It's such a viscous cycle, not being creative, then feeling bad about not creating and then just repeating that over and over!

Anyway, here's a fun card!

I love the bright colors.  This combo came from my scrap pile!

Hoping this card bring some much needed warmth!  Man, it's March but it's been the coldest it's been here in Oklahoma.  We had some snow the past two days and they cancelled school for the cold.  I'm over it!  I'll be seeing some cacti this spring and I can NOT wait!

Here's hoping I get my life figured out soon, ha!

Happy stamping!

Fab Friday 158

Hi stampers!  Happy Friday!  I have been quiet because over a WEEK ago, Ian came down with influenza!  Thankfully, my parents had come to visit for my birthday so it was nice to have some help...especially when Jon came down with it too!  UGH!  I remember being sick on my birthday for many years growing up, it's a bad time of year!  Anyway, I've been busy taking care of my two patients and trying not to lose my mind since we were supposed to stay home for SEVEN days!  You'd think I got a bunch of stamping done but I didn't.  That's a whole other post entirely!

Anyway, it's time for a new challenge over at Fab Friday!

I love it because it's springy and I NEED SOME SPRING!  One, to cheer me up.  Two, for some dang warmth.  And three, to kill all the GERMS!

Anyway, I did sit down yesterday and make this card.  I'm somewhat struggling for ideas (that whole other post) so I used a few things from SAB that are sold out and I don't feel bad about it :-)  At least I stamped!  I won't link the products since some are sold out.

This DSP was fun and it was easy to add color with some ink and sponge daubers.  Don't forget to get creative with coloring sometimes!  This would be great on any black and white paper!

Make sure to check out what the team did and channel your feelings of spring and stamp with us!

Happy stamping!

Cockadoodledoo

Hi stampers! Happy Wednesday!  I guess I have ample time to blog today as my little buddy has a fever and feels puny.  Hopefully we won't add anymore symptoms into the mix.

February AND Sale A Bration are flying by so I figured I'd better get this stamp set inky before it was too late!  My mom grew up on a farm and now lives there although she doesn't have any animals now.  But her very favorite is chickens so I grabbed this one with her in mind!  It was perfect that it had a missing you sentiment because I'm pretty much always missing my momma!  I hope we can live closer to her one day!  They are actually coming to visit today IF the roads are ok.  They got some bad weather overnight.  I'm hoping to surprise Ian so I really hope he feels better this evening!

Anyway, I colored him in with my Blends and I thought that the Wood Textures DSP was a perfect match!    Some copper and lace accents were the finishing touches!

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!
