Happy Birthday Chick

Hi!  Today I have a card featuring the Hey Birthday Chick Stamp Set.  Do you recall the Hey Chick set from 2017?  Well, this is it’s sister set and is in the January-June Mini Catalog.

Hey Birthday Chick, Happy Birthday, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #JanJune2021Mini

These two are so cute!  I love the mop of feathers on the chicken eating the cupcake – it just cracks me up.  If you recall, the Hey Chick stamp set from 2017 had an egg with legs – in this set, the egg has hatched!  I truly love how these sets pair together.

But, even better – Stampin’ Up! has created coordinating dies for BOTH sets AND brought back the Hey Chick stamp set for a limited time as well!  How awesome is that?  I snagged the coordinating dies for both sets and will show you a picture of those dies in a minute.

Back to this particular card, I decided to do a fun Corner Flip Fold – you can check it out in this video – I make a template in the video which I hope is easy enough for you to follow.  If not, please ask – I’m happy to answer your questions!

My colors are Cajun Craze, Early Espresso and Basic White for the Card Stock.  I did use the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack behind the main panel.  I added a little sparkle to the cupcake with the Wink of Stella glitter pen:

I used Watercolor Pencils and a Blender pen to color the images.

Ok – so, let’s check out these dies.  For the Hey Birthday Chick Stamp Set:

 

Besides the die cuts for the chickens, there is a also a fence and bag of feed along with the Happy Birthday I used on my card.  I love that they have added extra elements!

For the Hey Chick dies, check these out!

 

A Hen House, Corn Stalk and Chicken Wire – SOOOO CUTE!!!   LOVE IT!!  So, if you missed out on the Hey Chick Stamp Set back in 2017, now is your chance to snag it!  If you already have it – purchase the coordinating dies and dust it off – so many more possibilities!

AND – lastly – purchase BOTH bundles and you will get FREE SHIPPING!  BUT this deal is only for today, March 17! So DO NOT WAIT!  Click here to head over to my store and grab these adorable bundles today!

Fun with the Playful Alphabet

Hi!  Today I am sharing a card using the Playful Alphabet!  This is such a fun alphabet set and perfect for making your sentiment your focal point on your card.

I love how the word pops from the Basic Black mat layer.  I used the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper for the banner strips holding each letter.  The base is Granny Apple Green and the letters are die-cut from Garden Green, Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight cardstock scraps.  They are popped up using dimensionals.

The sentiment is from A Wish For Everything stamp set and is stamped with Jet Black Stazon Ink.  The Pick a Banner punch was used to create the flag end.

Cardstock dimensions:

  • Base – Granny Apple Green 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″ and folded.
  • Basic Black mat layer – 4″ x 5 1/4″ inches
  • Designer Series Paper Strips – 1/2″ inch by varying lengths

There are endless color combinations and words you could use – Smile, Thanks, Love, Wish, Hope – the list goes on – that would look great on this layout.

I hope you will give it a try.

Thanks for stopping by!

Butterfly Brilliance

Hi!  Happy March!  Wow, January and February were a whirlwind with Sale-A-Bration and the new January-June mini catalog that I wasn’t sure how we were going to top it – and what do you know – Stampin’ Up! decided to introduce the new Butterfly Bouquet bundle that will debut in the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog!

If you know me, you know how much I love butterflies – just look at my signature, right?  I am so in love with these products.  The stamp is a background stamp and there is one die that will cut all butterflies together.  But, there are also 5 individual detailed dies that you could use to create a layer for each butterfly!  Prefer individual butterflies?

I will definitely be doing this, too!  That way I can stamp individually when I want as well.   Oh, and save those bits and pieces in between the butterflies – place them randomly on a block to create an animal print!

Ok, let’s get back to the bundle.  Besides the stamp set and coordinating dies, there are 2 other products that fill out the bundle that are ONLY available during this special early bird period.  That is, they will not be in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.

Introducing the Butterfly Bijou 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper Stack.  This contains 48 sheets – 8 each of 6 designs.  Some people call a group of butterflies a kaleidoscope, and that’s what you’ll get with the Butterfly Bijou 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper. Choose from glorious butterfly patterns in shades of aqua, pink, and yellow or watercolored patterns that coordinate beautifully.   This paper is only available during the promotion and while supplies last.

Add lovely texture to your creations with the Natural Touch Specialty Paper. The pale woodgrain is versatile enough for any project and any time of year. You can stamp on it, emboss it, and use it with dies. Use large pieces of it as a background or cut out pieces to use as accents.  You get 2 12″ x 12″ pieces of this gorgeous paper.   This paper is only available during this promotion and while supplies last.

And, if you purchase this bundle from me during the month of March, I will send you a FREE  tutorial to make these 4 gorgeous cards:
