Casing the Catalog

Hi stampers!  I haven't done a lot of creating on my own yet with all my new stuff.  I kind of get overwhelmed with what to use with all the new choices, lol!  So, there are samples in the catalog I LOVE so I have been busy making some of those and some other projects SU has posted recently.  It's a great way to kind of get going!

I LOVE the cover of the catalog so I couldn't wait to case this card.  It may be my favorite in the whole catalog!

Isn't it fabulous!!!!????  I originally used the rock and roll technique for the hexagon but I didn't like how severe the demarcation of the ink was.  I broke out my sponge daubers and used them to ink it up and it was much better (once I inked up my coral pad, it was dry).  If you're not familiar with it, you can pick up ink on the dauber then tap it to your stamp.  I liked this better because I could blend the two much better and the effect was much softer!  I also never would have combined these two stamp sets but they look great together!

I found this card by SU on pinterest so I thought I'd give it a try too.  I really like it!  I sponged some white craft ink on the DSP although it's hard ton see in the photo.  Isn't it cute?  I also used the faceted sequins where they used the flat trim as I like them better.

I'll come back and add the supplies at a later time.  Thanks to a friend and her little guy, I got to take Ian to Six Flags today and I'm beat...after only being there about 2 hours, lol!

Happy stamping!

Resistance is Futile

Hi stampers!  So I tried, I tried really hard to resist this stamp set and I just couldn't!  I mean, I don't know why anyone would really want to, it's so cute, but I was TRYING to keep my list short...hahahaha!  Any who, somehow it made it onto my order and I'm not sorry!  Globes are pretty trendy right now, I just picked one up at Target to go on my entryway table.  And I keep seeing CUTE hand embellished ones on Etsy!

So, it was one of the first sets I just had to use when my order came.  I made a pretty simple card but I like the small details.  I embossed the stand in the copper powder.  That stuff is so pretty!  And I used my aqua painter to spread the ink from the lines on the globe just a little.  Remember, a little goes a long way here.

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Places you'll go
Paper:  Whisper white, basic black, 2016-2018 in color DSP stack
Ink:  Versamark, dapper denim, emerald envy
Accessories:  Affectionately yours washi tape, copper embossing powder

I also really love that dapper denim DSP, this diagonal print especially!

So Much To Share

Hi stampers!  With ALL the new catalog stuff I got, I'm really struggling to share!  It's a good problem to have I suppose!  I'm going to try to share all of my creations with you here on my blog but it may not always happen.  It's pretty time consuming to photograph, then edit, then post to the blog!  And quite honestly I'd rather spend most of that time STAMPING :-)  Anyone feel me?????

Make sure you follow Bada Bing Paper Crafting on Facebook since I may post things there that I don't get to here!

So, I know everyone is DYING to see the little fox set, yes? I guess that's what I'll share today and I'll give you a two for one!  This is the first card I made.  I originally stamped the mushrooms but it just lacked something so later on I went back and cut a few out from the DSP which gave it a bit more dimension and didn't look so flat.  The sentiment is from the labeler stamp set and you can use it to make any saying you want!  It's like the old label tape thing, know what I'm talking about?  My dad had one and labeled like everything, lol!

Stampin Supplies:
Stamps:  Labeler alphabet, foxy friends
Paper:  Whisper white, crumb cake, early espresso,
Ink:  Crumb cake, early espresso, tangerine tango, wild wasabi
Accessories:  Fox builder punch

My second card is one that I cased from the SU official video on the fox bundle.  I think it's so cute and like a little diorama.  I used my aqua painter to put a little hill behind him and the tree which is cut with the perfect pines framelits.  The sentiment is from the tin of cards kit.  SU used a baby sentiment on theirs which was cute but I didn't have it.

Stampin Supplies:
Stamps:  Tin of cards, foxy friends
Paper:  Whisper white
Ink:  Basic black, early espresso, tangerine tango, calypso coral, emerald envy
Accessories:  Perfect pines framelits

There's a lot of little tips for this bundle.  I'll try to get a video together either here or over on FB to try to explain a few of them;-)   For now, here's a picture to try to explain one of them.  While there are separate parts to piece the fox together, you can also stamp any of the critters and cut their face out to use.  Does that make sense?  I like the little fox head with hair better so I stamped him and just punched him out to place over the more solid one.  There's also three sets of eyes and a nose so you want to check with size you want to use first.  I chose the "biggest" one here I think.

Jar of Thanks

Hi stampers!  Radio silence over here...UNLESS you're on my virtual FaceBook new catalog kick off party!  I told you that you didn't want to miss it!  It's much quicker and easier to share over there while I'm stamping so that's what I've been doing and I also do so pretty regularly on my business page as well!  I got a big box of new catalog goodies on Friday afternoon so it's been keeping me busy!

I was super excited to get the jar set so here's a card with it!

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps: Jar of love
Paper:  Whisper white, soft sky, flirty flamingo
Ink: Craft white, basic gray, old olive, blushing bride, soft sky, flirty flamingo
Accessories:  Everyday jars framleits, burlap ribbon, flirty flamingo ribbon, mini stapler

I'll come back and add the supplies on Monday, I don't have my catalog handy at the moment ;-)  Edited to add:  I used a sponge dauber and white craft ink to make the polka dots on the card base.

I did a live video of part of this card to show that I used masking for the flower stems...it was late and I was tired and it didn't go exactly smoothly, ha!  But it still made a cute card.  I also pulled some of the ink around the bottom of the jar to look like water as well as used my aqua painter to put a little ink outside around the bottom to look like a pool of water.  This set is going to be a lot of fun!

Love and Affection for Washi Tape

Hi stampers!  Have you placed your order from the new catalog yet?  My goodies will be here tomorrow!  For today, I have a card I made with pre order items.  It's simple and quick and one of my favorite sketches.  You've seen it before from me and will likely see it again and I'm not sorry.  It's just a great sketch and something I go to when I'm feeling less than creative.  Sometimes making a simple card will get the creative mojo flowing and it's one reason I love washi tape!

Washi tape is an inexpensive embellishment and a little goes a long way!  The fact that SU makes it in part of a suite makes it super easy to pair with other items as well!  Did you know you can carefully pull it up if you don't adhere it straight?  It's pretty forgiving!  Have you tried washi tape?  Do you need to get yourself some on your first order?  Probably ;-)  Look what you can do.....

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps: Love and affection
Paper: Crumb cake
Ink:  Night of navy
Accessories:  Affectionately yours washi tape, decorative label punch, linen thread

So simple but so cute!  Right?  It's hard to see in the photo but the tape with the dots is actually metallic copper and gives just a bit of glitz!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Happy stamping!

Happy New Catalog Day!

Hi stampers!  It's the best day of the year...well maybe not...maybe it's the second best day, the first being when your order actually arrives!  :-)  Today is June 1 and the first day the new 2016-2017 annual catalog is live!

copper make a good pair!
