Don't You Forget About Me

Hi stampers!  Happy hump day!  I've not been posting as I haven't felt very good this week which is especially bad when you're trying to do ALL the things before Christmas!


My card today, comes to you partially from the Annual Catalog, which I feel we kind of forget about!   I'll be sharing some cards I made with Making Christmas Bright and some Holiday Catalog goodies over the next few days!  Dig those other sets out and use them before it's too late!!!!

 
Here, Perfectly Plaid Pairs so well with the star accents!  I also love my trees which I stamped in Garden Green and Mint Macaron!  I just think this is the cheeriest little card!

The full supply list can be found on my Bada-Bing Paper Crafting FB page!

Off to try to check off the rest of my Christmas list!  Wish me luck!

Happy stamping!

#simplestamping

Hi stampers!  Happy Friday!  Where has this week gone????  I do not have enough (online or in person) shopping days left until Christmas, lol!  It's a good thing Stampin' Up! is on a "simple stamping" kick because that's all the time I have for cards!

At onstage, they really wanted to focus on the three things you need to stamp a card, stamps, paper, and ink.  Sometimes it really can be that simple!  I love making "fancy" cards but I've found that I really like keeping it simple, too!  Simple can be stunning!  Our Notecards make it easy, you don't have to cut them and they are pre-scored to fold!  And they include envelopes.  I went ahead and even stamped the envie for this one! IF THIS lazy stamper can do that, you can too ;-)

Ack!  Isn't it cute!?!?  Can we talk about those cascading stars for a minute?  SO PRETTY!

New to stamping?  All you need is a stamp, pack of notecards, and a few ink pads and you can make these as your Christmas cards!  And even if you're an experienced stamper, take a minute to try some simple stamping!  It was a challenge for me but a lot more fun than I expected!

Happy stamping!

Mailable Monday - Well Not Really

Hi stampers!  Happy Monday!  What a weekend!  December is always a busy and exciting month but this weekend was particularly exciting!  On Sunday I had a class using the Tags & Tidings Bundle and the Midwest South Demonstrator District Manager, Chad Williams came to my class!  I mean my third class in the last five years?  Yeah, no pressure :-)  Hahaha!  The class was small but mighty and I hope they liked the tags.  I'll be sharing them later this week!

And then last night, we had a little meet and greet for Tulsa area demos which was really nice to meet some new friends in the area!

Now on to today's card.  So it IS simple but it's not mailable due to it's size.  But, this time of year, it's a great little card to throw in a package or gift bag!  It's amazing how many little gifts come up and it's nice to have some options for those!  I'll be making some more of these with our Narrow Notecards!

I don't always decorate my envelopes but these are so cute, I just had to!  And I love the bright colors.  Since this set is photopolymer, it's a breeze to line everything up!

Do yourself a favor and go whip up a few narrow note cards now to have on hand for your holiday giving!

Happy stamping!

Making Christmas Bright

Hi stampers!  Happy Thursday!  This month is flying by and it's the one time of year I don't want it to!  I meant to post the past few nights but we had our small group Christmas party so I'd been busy preparing for that!  Now I'm in full prep mode for my class I'm having on Sunday and now we have a winter storm warning coming for that, BOOOOO!

Anyway, here's a little card that I stamped over the weekend and I may be in love with these fun a dn festive colors!

I also love that Poppy Parade ribbon!  I picked it up over the Black Friday sales and I just love it!  Have you tried it?  I also really love that falling stars background stamp, isn't it fun?

Happy stamping!

PS, I'll come back this afternoon and add supplies, gotta run this morning!

Mailable Monday

Hi stampers!  Happy Monday!  I have a simple card for you today with very little stamping!  I used my washi tape to make a little background and then placed the cut out panel over.  Viola, festive deer!

A simple stamped sentiment is all it needed. I mounted it on the Festive Farmhouse DSP.  When I use DSP as a card front, I always just adhere the panel to a Thick Whisper White Card base, I don't use the DSP itself for the card base.  While it does use the big shot, I think it's still a pretty simple card!

 It was a bit hard to photograph due to the metallic strips of washi but it's simple and kind of stunning, I think!

Happy stamping!

Candy Cane Season

Hi stampers!  I guess it really is candy cane season because there was one on the counter last night (no idea where from lol) and Ian found it and HAD to have it, LOL!  Are you a candy cane fan?  I'm really not, I don't love peppermint.

But I DO love this set and punch so, SO much!  It is so cute and makes great, simple cards!  I also love the color combo here!  Coastal Cabana, Real Red, and Shaded Spruce are pretty festive!

This card really is pretty simple.  Just make sure to let your watercolor wash dry before you stamp over it.  Don't like to watercolor?  Leave that off and it would still be super cute!  And don't forget to mix and match your stamp sets!  That little circle from Making Christmas Bright makes a fantastic accent for about anything!  I also pulled my sentiment in from a hostess set!

Making Today Bright

Hi stampers!  I'm sharing this card today to make today bright!  It's cloudy and rainy and dreary so I pulled out this card because I need some light!  I love this set because you can make a super cute card in minutes and you can use it to make a super fancy card!  You can get it as a bundle with the Christmas light punch but the stamp set is great on it's own if that's not your thing or the bundle isn't in your budget!  Of course, quick and simple is my jam so that's what you get today!

I'm loving the color combo of Pool Party, Real Red, and Call Me Clover!  I did fussy cut the "bright" but it was easy and it just adds that extra something.  I was super excited to see some washi tape in the Holiday Catalog!  I love that stuff!

Hoping this card may brighten your day, too!

Happy stamping!
