Simple Stampin' using the Hey, Birthday Chick Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

                     

  • Stampin' Up! Hey Birthday Chick
  • Final weeks of January-February Sale-A-Bration
  • Join My Team, Attend Stampin' Up! OnTour in April

I'm so smitten with the Hey Chick and Hey Birthday Chick sets.  Today I created a simple card with a simple image from Hey, Birthday Chick Stamp Set, Basic Black and Basic White cardstock and a piece of Designer Series Paper from the True Love Designer Series Paper. There's so much more to this set, and the returning Hey, Chick set and you'll love using them with their coordinating dies.    Take a look at my earlier post for the full details about both bundles.

The card uses a basecard of Thick Basic White Cardstock.  Then a layer of Basic White Cardstock.  Then a banner using one of the prints from the True Love Designer Series Paper package.  The image layer is a piece of Basic White matted with Basic Black, popped up on Dimensionals

I stamped an image from the Hey, Birthday Chick Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, and also stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the set, again, in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I used five different Stampin' Blends Markers to color the image.  Just Jade, Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Mango Melody, and Cajun Craze.  I used the Light of each shade and then went over parts of the image that I wanted to highlight. I added a little bling by including a Just Jade Enamel Dot.

While most of the cards I create are more complex with die cuts and ribbons, with the rolling power outages, water outages, and internet/phone outages we've experienced in Texas the past couple of days--during a time when our temperatures were lower than in Alaska--I decided that simple cards were the way to go.  

You'll love creating beautiful cards using the Hey, Birthday Chick Stamp Set, including the coordinating dies and the returning Hey, Chick Stamp Set with its coordinating dies.  Your loved one will know how much you care when they receive your fun, thoughtful creations.  Order items to make these projects from my Stampin' Up! shopping site  24 X 7.

Stampin' Up Love You Always Suite for Lovely Valentine's and Anniversary cards

                    

  • Stampin' Up! Always In My Heart Bundle
  • Products from the Love You Always Suite
  • Join My Team, Attend Stampin' Up! OnTour in April

I'm sad this this will likely be my final Valentine's Day card for this calendar year, and I won't be able to showcase all of the gorgeous products we have for Valentine's Day any longer.  But I'm so happy that most of my Valentine sets, dies and embellishments can also be used for weddings, anniversaries or just to say "I love you."  Today I'm using several items from the Love You Always Suite from page 10-12 in the January-June 2021 Mini catalog, plus two other Valentine sets: Meant To Be Stamp Set and Heart To Heart Stamp Set.  I also used the Always In My Heart Bundle along with Love You Always Foil Sheets, Love You Always Specialty Designer Series Paper and Blushing Bride 3/8" Metallic Ribbon.  I used Copper Foil Sheets and Blushing Bride Cardstock to compliment the colors in the Specialty Designer Paper.

The card uses a basecard of Blushing Bride Cardstock.  Then a layer of Copper Foil Sheets.   The image layer is a sheet from the Love You Always Specialty Designer series Paper.   It has Copper Foil accents, which is why I chose to used Copper Foil elsewhere on my card.

I used dies form the Floral Heart Dies to create a Copper Foil floral heart.  I cut a separate heart out of Blushing Bride to replace the middle of the Copper Foil heart.

I used two different stamp sets for my sentiments.  On one, I chose the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment from Meant To Be Stamp set and Stamped it in Rococo Rose.  On my other card, I chose a wedding sentiment from the Heart To Heart Stamp Set, and also stamped it in Rococo Rose.  The center hearts are mounted on Dimentionals.  Added bling is from the Frosted & Clear Epoxy Droplets Embellishment packs.

Finally, I created a bow out of the beautiful, new 3/8" Blushing Bride Metallic Ribbon.  It has a coordinating copper metallic look, that really pulls the elements on this card together.  

You'll love creating beautiful cards using the Love You ALways Suite, including the coordinating stamps, dies, papers and accessories from Stampin' Up! that coordinate so well.  That's one of the benefits of using Stampin' UP!.  The hard work of coordinating your papers, inks, and accessories is already done for you. Your loved one will know how much you care when they receive your beautiful creations.  Order items to make these projects from my Stampin' Up! shopping site  24 X 7.
