Washi Wednsday

Hi stampers!  I'm getting late start posting today since I had my hair done this morning.  Priorities, ya know!  Haha!  Anyway how about a washi Wednesday?

I used this sketch from Retrosketches!  And I pulled my colors from a combo I found on Pinterest.

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Tape it, truly grateful, wonderfall
Paper:  Very vanilla, raspberry ripple, gold glimmer
Ink:  Early espresso, raspberry ripple, baked brown sugar, gold encore
Accessories:  Wonderfall bigz die

JUST KIDDING!  This card doesn't use any actual washi tape but the stamp set tape it which I love!  It makes great accents and backgrounds!  The card didn't turn out exactly as I planned but it's ok!  I do wish I'd popped the whole acorn up instead of just the cap.  I used the glimmer paper to pull out the gold from the encore pad which doesn't photograph well by the way.  I cut out the glimmer paper with the bigz die but I just hand cut the top of the acorn because it was quicker and an easy cut;-)

Happy stamping!

HSS 170

Hi stampers!  Here it is, Tuesday again!  And that means it's time for another fun challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments!  This week brings a spooky color challenge!

Bold colors!  Since my hubby was gone ALL last week and I was either hanging out with my mom or at her house I didn't get much (any) actual stamping done.  I always try to stamp when she's here but we end up doing something or at least watching something on TV :-)  However, I made some fun things with MDS since I can (and do) pretty much take it anywhere AND I can do it on the couch ;-)

So, here is my card!

Make sure to go check out what all of the DT members did and play along!

Happy stamping!

Happy World Card Making Day!

Hi stampers and happy World Card Making Day!  Make sure to make a card today and send it to someone!  Everyone loves some happy mail so I'm deeming Monday World Card Sending Day :-)  Here at my house instead of cards we'll be making Halloween banners and hopefully I'll be making some cards after my class.  Hopefully because I'm exhausted.  The dog didn't let me get much sleep while I was at my mom's the other night and then I guess I got used to sleeping alone because the Mr. has been in Budapest all week.  I knew it wouldn't be a good night when I went to bed and found him all the way over on my side, ha!!!!

Anyway, I should have planned better and had a card class today but I guess I forgot about WCMD!  Don't forget you can get my exclusive class for FREE online by purchasing the supplies through my online store!

You can find the details HERE!

And now for a LOT MORE stuff!  In honor of the "holiday" I'm going into blogging/sharing overdrive because who doesn't love to look at pretty stuff, right?  And because I'm home and it doesn't take 10 minutes to upload each picture like at the farm, hooray!  First up is a card with one of my all-time favorite sketches!  I think maybe it was a retrosketch but I can't remember.  I'm sure it will look familiar...I use it a lot!

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Oh hello
Paper:  Very vanilla, pear pizzazz, afternoon picnic DSP
Ink:  Perfect plum
Accessories:  Subtles candy dots, pear pizzazz taffeta ribbon, very vintage designer buttons, linen thread

I feel a fall version coming on soon ;-)

Next, how about some happy?  I LOVE this stamp as you know and I pretty much love everything about this card!  It's a great way to use the acetate sheet from the DSP too!

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Yippie skippie, mosaic madness
Paper:  Whisper white, bermuda bay, summer starfruit, strawberry slush, quatrefancy, in color 2013-2015 DSP stack
Ink:  Bermuda bay, strawberry slush
Accessories:  Chalk talk framelits, large rhinestones, bright candy dots

And now, how about a little bonus in the form of another convention display project?  Yes, I still have lots of those left to share!!!  If you're wondering why all of my display cards are on a little easel it's because they are only card fronts and not whole cards so they don't stand up :-)

And finally SU released yet another nifty product yesterday and I didn't get to share it with the Fab Friday post and being busy with my mom and going to pick up the world traveler and all!  The new Pop & Place kit is a super quick and easy way to add a handmade touch to all your Christmas gifts!  Even if you're not a cardmaker or scrapbooker you can still get crafty with this kit!

There are a couple of options offered in bundles so make sure to check those out.  You can get everything you need including a clear block and ink spot in the "big kit".  You can get everything separate as well or just the stamp set and tag booklet.  You can find it all in my store HERE!  Make sure it says Mindy Bingamon on the top right hand side, ok? :-)

Here are your options:

134975	Pop & Place Holiday Gift Tags Book	$9.95
134623	Christmas Tagables Photopolymer Stamp Set	$13.95
135921	Pop & Place Holiday Gift Tags Bundle includes Pop & Place Holiday Gift Tags Book  Christmas Tagables Photopolymer Stamp Set	$19.95
135290	Pop & Place Holiday Gift Tags Starter Bundle includes Pop & Place Holiday Gift Tags Book  Christmas Tagables Photopolymer Stamp Set Soft Suede Classic Stampin' Spot Clear Block C	$24.95

The stamp set is adorable all on it's own!

And so are the die cut pop-out tags (in a cute little book)!

Even if you don't think you're creative or crafty you can make these tags!  Your packages will look so festive!  Not to mention all the other things you could make with this kit!  Watch for a class as well!  Please contact me should you have any questions or like me to put in an order for you!

Ok, I think that's it!  Sorry for the overload but hey, it's a "holiday" right? :-)

Happy stamping!

Fab Friday 28

Hi stampers!  Happy Friday and a happy Friday it is indeed!  I'm blogging again from my favorite place in the whole world, my mom's farm and even more exciting I get to see my hubby who's been in Budapest all week (which is why I'm hanging out at the farm).  Me and my mom have had fun at both my house and hers but I'll be happy to see Mr. Bada-Bing!  I'm guessing we won't be doing much this weekend secondary to the jet lag....lots of stamp time, right????

Along with all this excitement is a new Fab Friday challenge!  This week has great colors for both Halloween and fall.

Doesn't feel much like fall here though at 80+ degrees!  I know I'll be eating my words all too soon but I do wish it was a bit cooler.  I have leggings and boots and sweaters and scarves I'd like to wear!!!!!  And I much prefer to run in cooler weather!!!!

Anyway, here's my card!  I hadn't dug my spider web folder out all season yet so I got it out and did a little sponging with white craft ink to make it a little spooky!

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Tags 4 you
Paper:  Whisper white, basic black, old olive, rich razzleberry, tangerine tango
Ink:  Basic black, craft white
Accessories: Scallop circle and label bracket punch, neutrals glimmer brads, spider web embossing folder

I kind of wish I'd added more sparkle with some glitter or something but oh well...now head on over and see what the rest of the team came up with and play along!

Happy stamping!

Thank You Thursday

Hi stampers!  Well it may not be the weekend YET but I have some exciting news to get you through your Thursday!  Every Thursday in October Stampin' Up will be offering an item for a ONE day sale to say thank you for making their blog a success.  Have you checked it out?  It's pretty cool!  They post fun pins from Pinterest (they made my year by pinning a card of yours truly!) and feature lots of neat projects!  You can find the blog HERE.  Just make sure to mark me as your demonstrator if you order!  The post about the washi tape has a cute Halloween treat!

And it just so happens I have a little project featuring washi tape to share today!  These were super easy to put together if you're short on time and need a card real quick like I did!  Seriously, these took minutes!  And you don't even need the little "extras" I stamped on them with the splatters and diamond design!

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  A dozen thoughts, oh hello, my paper pumpkin welcome kit
Paper:  Whisper white, smokey slate, daffodil delight
Ink:  Smokey slate, melon mambo
Accessories:  Gingham garden and epic day this & that washi tape

These are great cards since they are flat and mailable and I wanted to show a "manly" version and a girly version.  The a dozen thoughts stamp set is a great one as it has sentiments for about any occasion!    If you're new to stamping or don't have a large budget this set and some washi tape is a GREAT way to get started as you can do a million things with them!

Now, you can get these two washi tapes plus the witches brew set for only $3.71 each for TODAY only  and while supplies last!  That's over a dollar off!  If you'd like to order as part of my workshop use the hostess code AVXFHNK3 when ordering!  Your name will go in the hat and you could win a FREE 2013-2015 in color ink pad of your choice!

Happy stamping!
