Happy Birthday Chick

 

Hey Chick!  Have you seen the new Hey Chick and Happy Birthday Bundles?  They will be available on February 2 to customers as Bundles, but if you want just the new set (Hey Birthday Chick), it's in the January-June Mini on page 52.  
As a demo, I was able to order them this month (January 2021).  If you know someone who has a birthday coming up soon, these sets are great for that.  The Hey Chick set was a previously Sale-a-Bration set in 2017 and it is back to coordinate with the new Hey Birthday Chick Stamp Set.  I love them both and glad I still had my 2017 set.  Here is how I made my card:

Stamp Set:  Happy Birthday, Chick

Cardstock:  Calypso Coral, Night of Navy, Whisper White and Playing with Patterns DSP

Ink:  Memento Black, Night of Navy, Stampin’ Blends:  Pumpkin Pie, Balmy Blue, So Saffron

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Chick Dies, Birthday Chick Dies, Paper Snips, Dimensionals, Stampin’ Seal

 

1.     The base of the card is the Calypso Coral card stock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is Night of Navy card stock cut at 3-1/2” x 4-3/4”.  The third layer is Playing with Patterns DSP cut at 3-1/4” x 4-1/2” and matted onto the Night of Navy layer with Adhesive

3.    The Whisper White layer is die cut from the largest rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

4.    Ink up the egg stamp with Memento Black and stamp on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and stamp 6 times.  Ink up the chick with Memento Black ink and stamp once.  Color in with the Stampin’ Blend.

5.    Die cut the eggs and chick with the Chick Dies and Birthday Chick Dies.

6.    Use a Dimensional behind each one and adhere to the Stitched So Sweetly Whisper White rectangle as shown.

7.    Ink up the sentiment “Let’s Celebrate You” with Night of Navy ink on Calypso Coral card stock.  Trim it out with the Paper Snips and attach with Dimensionals.

8.    Attach to the Playing with Patterns DSP with Adhesive.

Home Together Dies - I'm Back!

 Hi All,

I've not been posting on my blog since October because I had a complete knee replacement, so I've been healing and going for physical therapy.  I haven't felt like being creative, but hoping to get back into it very soon.  Since today is my birthday, I thought I would show you what I have been doing. I decorated a little lighted tree which took me several weeks because it was hard to get up and down from my chair each time I needed something.  The idea came from Cyndi Johnson.


  


Here are the instructions for the ornaments for the tree and where to buy the lighted tree.



1.      For the Birdhouses: Cut Whisper White cardstock at 3” x 3” and score at 1” on all four sides to create the house cube. Use the heart-cut die to cut two from Cherry Cobbler or Shaded Spruce.  For the solid house dies, cut two from Whisper White cardstock.  Glue pieces together and add to two of the sides.

2.    For the Roof: Cut 2-1/4” x 1-3/8” from Whisper White and the same from the DSP.  Score in half.  Punch a hole in the middle of the scoreline and add a loop of the Gold Ribbon on the Whisper White Roof.  Adhere the DSP to the White Roof.

3.    The trees and snowflakes were made with the Home Together and So Many Snowflake Dies.  The trees from the DSP are two-sides using the Adhesive Sheets (I cut one Shaded Spruce tree and adhered the Gold Ribbon for the loop and then adhering the DSP trees to both sides).  Do the same for the snowflakes cutting one Whisper White snowflake, adhering the loop, and then attach the adhesive snowflakes to each side. The adhesive sheets make it so much easier.

The battery-operated tree can be purchased from Amazon and it takes three AA batteries.  Amazon.com: 24" LED Birch Tree with 24 Lights (2 Packs), Tabletop Lighted Bonsai Birch Tree Battery Powered Thanksgiving Table Decoration Light for Indoor Christmas Party Home and Bedroom Fall décor: Home & Kitchen

Christmas Means More


.

 I love this sentiment from the movie "It's a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart.  This stamp set is called Christmas Means More and there are other sentiments in this set that I like too. This card was inspired by Mary Fish, although I didn't have the same ribbon she had which was the Shaded Spruce Wonder of the Season Ribbon Combo Pack.  I used her measurements for my card.  

1.     The base of the card is 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 3-1/2” and 9.

2.    Cut the Tis the Season DSP at 3-1/4” x 4” and 1-3/4” x 4.

3.    Whisper White cardstock is die cut with the Stitched Shape Dies at 2-5/8” Square and with the Stitched Rectangle Dies at 3-3/8” x 4-3/4”.

4.    Cut the Shaded Spruce cardstock at 3-1/8” square and the Cherry Cobbler cardstock at 2-7/8” square.

5.    Adhere the DSP to outside flaps of the cards with Stampin’ Seal Adhesive.

6.    Adhere half the Shaded Spruce square to the left side with Stampin’ Seal Adhesive.

7.    Cut the Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon about 14”.  Use Stampin’ Seal to attach the ribbon on the Shaded Spruce square and then wrap around the entire card.

8.    Attach two Jingle Bells to some Metallic Mesh Ribbon and tie it all together in a bow on the side.

9.    Ink up the sentiment with Shaded Spruce ink and stamp on the Whisper White Stitched Shape Square.  Adhere to the Cherry Cobbler Square with Seal Adhesive.

10.  Attach to Shaded Spruce Square with Seal Adhesive or Dimensionals.

11.   Color the bells with Smoky Slate Blends.  Add Wink of Stella.

Rooted in Nature - Thank you Card

We all need "Thank You" cards to show our appreciation for something we receive from others.  I needed to make one for a customer in another state and this is the card I made which is similar to one I made a couple years ago with the Rooted in Nature set.   The colors are different as well as the sentiment and label.  Sometimes, I refer back to some of the original artwork for ideas.  I just change it up a bit which you can do with other cards you might see on Pinterest, Blogs, or Websites.  Sometimes, I just Case the card exactly as it is if I really like it and don't change a thing, but always give credit to the artist.  Also, this card can be used for any occasion by just changing the sentiment to a birthday, Get Well, etc.

Snowflakes Wishes - Standard Card and Slimline card

  
It's not the time for Snowflakes in the air just yet, but it is time to make Christmas cards with the new Snowflakes Wishes set.  As a demonstrator, I do monthly swaps with other demos and I received the standard card from a fellow demo, Cooki  Osinski a few months ago.  At the time, I was wanting to create the Slimline cards, so I thought why not try to create her card doing a Slimline and I really like the results.  She used the Winter Snow Embossing Folder and I was wondering how I could use it in a Slimline card since the card would be longer than the embossing folder.  No problem!  All I did was emboss it once and then turn it around to emboss the other side.  The only problem was there was a line in the middle, so the Highland Heather cardstock cut using Stitched Rectangles would cover it up.
She also used the Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper to die cut her snowflakes.  How come one of them is Highland Heather?  You can get that effect by using Versamark, Clear Embossing, Highland Heather ink, and the Heat Tool.  I don't know if that was the way she did it but it was the way I did it.  Although, I think she did several more coats than I did.  The sentiment is stamped with the new In-Color Misty Moonlight The Snowflake Splendor DSP also adds a lot to this card and I would have never put these two colors (Highland Heather and Balmy Blue) together, but I really like them, don't you?
