Life is a Balancing Act

  • Hey, Chickie, Life is a balancing act!
  • Sale-A-Bration selection with each $50 purchases
  • What do you do for fun?

Hey, Chick! stamp set from Stampin' Up!

I was thinking this morning about all the things we balance in life and decided to use the Hey, Chick set to convey that feeling we've all had when things start piling up and we're trying to balance too many things in our lives.  This is a 3-5/8" X 7-3/4" card done in Tip Top Taupe.   


Life is a balencing act



I found that this is one of the hardest Stampin' Up! colors to photograph and get its  true color.  The others that seem to give me trouble are Pink Pirrouette and Peekaboo Peach.   
  
So I finally broke out my DSL camera and re shot the card, and even after trying multiple color and light corrections in my software, it still doesn't look as good in the photo as my original Tip Top Taupe card.   The DSL camera did turn out to be truer colors than my iPhone camera shot. Some times the photography and color corrections take longer than the cards do!






I chose the wood mounted set when I purchased this set, so, in order to line up all the chicks correctly, I broke out my Stamp-a-ma-gig.  Got all the hens and eggs balanced first try!

The Hey, Chick set is one of the stamp sets you can only get as a free selection with a $50 order and only during Sale-A-Bration, and you can tell I'm really taken with this fun set.

Recipe:

Stamps: Hey, Chick (Sale-A-Bration set)
Ink:  Tip Top Taupe, Watercolor pencils
Paper: Tip Top Taupe, In Colors Designer Series Paper Stack, Whisper White
Accessories:  Stamp-a-ma-jig

    Stampin' Up! Sealed with Love Valentine Card


    • Sealed With Love set from Occasions catalog
    • Free Sale-a-Bration selection with a $50 order
    • Occasions Catalog & Sale-A-Bration brochure available for download

    Valentine card with Sealed With Love Set


    Here's a quick Valentine card to jump start your card making for the holiday that's less than 5 weeks away.  This is a really fast card yet it is very striking.     
      

    Valentine Card with Stampin' Up! Sealed with Love Stamp Set




    The card uses one of the dies from the Window Box Thinlit Die set to create a die cut pattern on the top part of the card. This die cut matches patterns used in the Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack and in the Sealed with Love Stamp set, so I'll probably find additional ways to use this die as I create more Valentine cards.   The tag also comes from the Window Box Thinlit Die set.   One tip I'll pass on; when a die does not have a matching layer, I simply draw around the outside of the die and hand cut a perfectly-sized layering piece.


    Valentine's Day Card with Saled with Love Stamp Set


    A simple Real Red 3/8" stitched Satin ribbon and stamped elements and sentiments from the Sealed With Love Stamp set finishes this quick card.  One surprise when you see the card in person is that I spotted a small square of Red Glimmer Paper scrap sitting on my work space while assembling the card.  I added it behind the middle die cut and love the extra sparkle it added to the card.  


    Recipe for card:

    Stamps: Sealed with Love
    Ink:  Real Red
    Paper: Whisper White, Real Red, Red Glimmer Paper 
    Accessories:  Real Red 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon, Linen Thread, Window Box Thinlit Die Set, Big Shot Platform, Precision Base Place, Standard Cutting Pads, Die Brush, Big Shot Die Cutting Machine.
