Stampin’ Up! Hey Chick

Stampin’ Up! Hey Chick

Happy Friday everyone!  Hope you are staying warm and dry.  A real winter day yesterday and probably today.  

Today’s card feature’s a soon to be returning stamp set with dies added this time.  We had the Hey Chick Stamp Set in 2017.  I liked it then and so happy Stampin’ Up! decided to bring it back.  Can you believe I sold my set a week before Stampin’ Up! announced it would be returning, but I have a wonderful friend who gave me hers, all I had to do was buy the dies?

My inspiration design comes from the Try Stampin’ On Tuesday Challenge for this week.

 

Plus the Cute Card Thursday Challenge – with a theme of Birthdays.

Start with a card base of Misty Moonlight card stock.  Add a background panel of Dandy Garden DSP that has been matted on a panel of Basic White card stock.

Crop a circle from Basic White card stock using the largest circle die from the Stitched Shaped Dies. Crop a larger circler from Night of Navy card stock using the Layering Circle Dies. Before adhering the two together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue, stamp the small field of poppies from the Painted Poppies Stamp Set in Smoky Slate ink and color using Light Red Stampin’ Blends Marker, Light Pumpkin Pie, Light So Saffron and the Light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Marker. Pop a heart from the Resin Hearts on the circle by the Happy Birthday.

Using the Happy Birthday die from the Birthday Chick Dies crop three Happy Birthdays and adhere together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Adhere to the circle with the poppies.  Stamp the chicks from the Hey Chick Stamp Set and crop using the Chick Dies.  Color them using Light Real Red,  Light Crumb Cake, Light Pumpkin Pie, Light Cajun Craze, and Light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Markers. 

The sentiment from the Happy Birthday Chick Stamp Set and Hey Chick Stamp Set is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink on a Basic White card stock panel.  The panel has a strip of the Dandy Garden DSP down one side and a chick that has been cropped, colored and popped in the corner.

The medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Dandy Garden DSP added to the flap.

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Dreams with Hey Birthday Chick

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Dreams with Hey Birthday Chick

Happy Wednesday!  Do you know why it is called “Hump Day”?

My card today features two stamp sets from the Jan. – June Mini Catalog  — Dragonfly Garden and Hey Birthday Chick Stamp Sets.

My design inspiration comes from the Fab Friday Challenge.  

This was an easy card.  A card base and two panels of card stock matted on Calypso Coral card stock and popped on the Old Olive base. The Ornate Garden DSP panel is cropped using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies as is the Basic White art panel.

The Basic White panel cropped using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies has the flower image from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set stamped in Garden Green ink and colored using Light So Saffron, Light Old Olive, and Light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Markers.

The swarm of dragonflies is stamped in Early Espresso ink stamped off once.  I realize now I should have left it full strength after taking a photo.

The greeting from the Hey Birthday Chick is stamped in Old Olive ink on the corner of the Basic White panel.  A single Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewel is popped by the greeting. 

The sentiment panel has the same flowers as the card front and a sentiment from the Hey Birthday Chick Stamp Set stamped in Old Olive ink on the Basic White card stock panel.

The medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Ornate Garden DSP added to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Forever & Always

Stampin’ Up! Forever & Always

Happy Monday everyone.  Was your weekend fun and restful?  I had another of my health challenges for the past two days.  More and more I truly believe, food has everything to do with health. My niece that had a stroke last year will agree with me.

The card I am sharing today features the Forever & Always Stamp Set and Always Dies along with the Tranquil Thoughts Stamp Set and Tranquil Dies.

My challenge is with The Sisterhood of Crafters.  The theme is Die Cuts and/or Embossing Folders.

And  Watercooler Wednesday WWC304 – Kath’s Challenge:  All About Occasions

My card base is a leftover from the Beary Comforting Paper Pumpkin in December 2020 as is the striped panel on the front matted on a panel of Blackberry Bliss card stock.

The hearts are cropped using the Always Dies from panels of Dandy Garden DSP and the words LOVE are cropped from a panel of the Oh So Ombre DSP, a Sale-A-Bration free item with a purchase.  The LOVE in the center of the card front is cropped from the panel and the Blackberry Bliss portion is popped back into the cutout.

Several Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels are randomly placed around the card front.

The sentiment from Tranquil Thoughts Stamp Set is stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink on a Basic White card stock panel.  A heart from the Many Heart Dies is used to crop the heart in the center of the card.  A small piece of Calypso Coral card stock is taped behind the heart so the color will show through the holes.

The envelope is one of the envelopes from the Beary Comforting Paper Pumpkin Kit.

The envelope flap gets a panel of the Paper Blooms DSP and your card project is finished.

Stampin’ Up! Tranquil Thoughts

Stampin’ Up! Tranquil Thoughts

Happy Saturday everyone!  Hope you have a fun, restful weekend!

The design of the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge is my inspiration for today’s card.

And Addicted to Stamps and More  — Make Your Mark.

The stamp set featured today is the new Tranquil Thoughts Stamp Set from the January – June 2021 Mini Catalog.  I am also using Paper Blooms DSP, a Sale-A-Bration free item with a $50 order.

I started with a Blushing Bride card stock base, adding a panel of the Paper Blooms DSP embossed using Rococo Rose card stock.

A short panel of Garden Green card stock is embossed using the Tin Tile 3-D Embossing Folder and adhered to the Rococo Rose flower panel.  Flowers from the Tranquil Thoughts Stamp Set are stamped in Rococo Rose ink on Basic White card stock and cropped using one of the dies from the Tranquil Dies Collection. Another flower is stamped on the Basic White art panel using Rococo Rose and Garden Green ink.  The cropped flowers are popped on the art piece under the stamped flower using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The Basic White sentiment panel trimmed with a strip of the Paper Blooms DSP is left blank to write a note.

The envelope flap gets a panel of the Paper Blooms DSP and your card project is finished.

Stampin’ Up! True Love

Stampin’ Up! True Love

Hey everyone! I hope you are enjoying the sunshine today after so many days without it.

The True Love DSP is featured today along with the Flower & Field DSP, a free Sale-A-Bration item with a $50.

The design inspiration for today’s card comes from the Stella Says Sketch  Challenge.    

Start with a card base of Basic White card stock. 

The polka dot panel used as one of the mats, I made as I did not have a polka dot piece that was the colors I wanted. The bottom portion is a panel of the Flower & Field DSP. This panel has a scalloped trim cropped from a die in the Stitched Be Mine Dies.

The next layers are a panel of Basic Black card stock, Basic White card stock, and then the focal panel, Real Red card stock, cropped using a die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies for the art piece. A strip of Flower & Field DSP is adhered to the left side of this layering.

The two flowers are fussy cut from a panel of the True Love DSP and colored using Light and Dark  Real Red, Light Flirty Flamingo, and Light & Dark Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends Markers.  It is popped on the red panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tree Resin Hearts from the Snail Mail Suite are placed around the card front.  The greeting is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock and cropped with a die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

A sentiment from the Free As A Bird Stamp Set is stamped in Real Red ink on a panel of Basic White card stock that is matted to a Real Red panel cropped using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. A strip of True Love DSP is adhered to the bottom of the panel. They are then adhered to the card base.

The envelope flap gets a panel of the Flower & Field DSP and your card project is finished.
