He's My Fave

Hi stampers!  This past few weeks has just been crazy!  We traveled by air twice in three weeks which is very unlike us.  By this weekend, I'll have traveled more in a month than I usually do in a year!  Whew!  We went to Vegas without Ian and then had a trip with my in laws last week to Scottsdale!  I'm headed to San Antonio over the weekend myself for On Stage.  And then I'm sitting at home.  For weeks :-)

Anyway, I haven't had much time to stamp or blog so hopefully now I will.  I also haven't had much creative energy lately.  Hopefully that will return as well!

Anyway, I do have a few cards saved up.  Here's one of them.

I didn't think I needed this stamp set from the Occasions Catalog but then Jon got glasses and I just HAD to get it and stamp a little four eyed Jon :-)  He really is my fave ;-)  I added the Labeler Alphabet Stamp Set and the "you are my" from the Well Said Stamp Set and it was perfect!

I'm off to unpack again...just to pack up...again!  Hopefully you'll see me around more this week and make sure to check out my BadaBingPaperCrafting Instagram over the weekend for sneak peeks from the conference!

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!

This Set Is A Gem

Hi stampers!  I am very sad this set, You Are Priceless, is retiring!  I really love it and it pairs SO well with some of our updated and jewel-toned colors!  I combined Berry Burst and Lemon Lime twist with two new colors, Gorgeous Grape and Shaded Spruce.  Aren't they gorgeous alone and all together?

For my background I simply did an emboss resist technique.

For my jewel that I cut out, I actually used the two step stamps in the set and then I blended the ink with my aquapainter for a bit of a different look.  I also really wanted to use this saying as my sentiment, so, Labeler Alphabet to the rescue!  WHY doesn't this set have this sentiment in it? :-)

I added a little silver and black metallic thread.  I'll be sad to see the black go, I use it a lot.  And a couple of glitter enamel dots round it out.  Trying to use those up!

Make sure to grab this one for your collection before it's gone on Friday!

Happy stamping!
