Stampin' Up! Hey, Chick mop top surprise

  • Hey, Chickie set
  • We're making Spring - Easter cards this week end
  • Less than 6 weeks for free Sale-A-Bration bonuses

Stampin' Up! SAB Hey, Chick set


I Love to see this mop topped chick pop in to say "hi!"  I'm sending this card to my mom and I think this crazy mop topped hen is perfect to say "Hi, have a happy day!"     






I chose the wood mounted set because I knew this set would get heavy use for both personal cards and for classes.  In order to line up the Chicks for this card I needed to create masks and I used  my Stamp-A-ma-jig to line up the Chicks and the mop top perfectly.

  




I used Real Red, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight watercolored pencils to color the hen tops and the mop top chick's hair and tail.  The dusty ground is created using another Sale-A-Bration set, Delicate Details.  I love having fun cards like this ready to send and I'm using my free Sale-A-Bration tin to store all of my cards that are ready to send.    


Recipe:

Stamp:  Hey, Chick
Ink:  Night of Navy; Real Red, Daffodil Delight, and Pumpkin Pie watercolored Pencils
Paper:  Whisper White, Night of Navy, Tangerine Tango from the Brights Designer Series Paper Stacks. 
Accessories:  Blender Pens, Stamp-a-ma-jigStampin' Scrub, Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner, Multipurpose Liquid Glue


We're making Easter-Spring cards this week end 


Join us to make Easter-holiday projects this week end.  We'll make eight different Easter or Spring cards and treat packages and a specially-requested ninth project.  Take a look below at the projects we'll make.





Two of our projects hold candy treats.  Take a closer look at them below.  We'll color and decorate the Stampin' Up! mini egg carton, and we'll make the chocolate egg holder using the Basket Builder Framelits.  The Easter sentiment is from the Suite Sentiments stamp set.





The image on the inside lid of the mini egg carton is from the Timeless Tags Thinlit Die.  We'll use alcohol and the reinkers in the Stampin' Spritzer to color the mini egg cartons...a really fast, easy process.

    Stampin' Up! Basket Bunch Easter Card

    • Easter Card with Basket Bunch and matching dies
    • Join our Spring - Easter card class this week end
    • Three addition free Sale-A-Bration bonuses announced

    Easter card using Basket Builder Framelits


    This is my CASE of a card from Mary Fish, one of Stampin' Up!s most accomplished demonstrators.  I made some changes to the sentiment, DSP, and turned it from a general purpose card into an Easter card.   






    I used Real Red, Daffodil Delight, and Cucumber Crush Stampin' Write Markers to color the flowers, stem and egg images. I'm going to try a version colored with colored pencils to see if I can get the colors to pop brighter.   The Basket Builder Framelit Dies cuts the basket, flowers, eggs and has 22 images.  Purchasing the stamp set and die set together will save you 10%.

      




    To efficiently create all the small images on this card, I positioned all of the flowers, stems, leaves and egg on one clear block and stamped them on Whisper White four times.   Before die cutting the images, I colored all of the images.  Keeping these small images together as long as possible in the creation process, helped any from becoming lost.  I also recommend stamping an extra set so that if any become unusable while coloring them, you won't have to re stamp just one tiny item.

    The other tip I have for quickly adding all of the flower images to the basket, was that I glued all of the stems and flowers to an oval shape and then added all of the images attached to the oval as one element to the basket.  I attached the Real Red Stitched ribbon with Tear Tap to ensure it stayed in place.    


    Recipe:

    Stamp:  Basket Bunch, Suite Sentiments (Sentiment) 
    Ink:  Night of Navy, Real Red, Cucumber Crush, Daffodil Delight
    Paper:  Whisper White (thick), Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack (Red Polka Dot) 
    Accessories:  Basket Builder Framelits Dies, 3/8" Real Red Stitched Satin Ribbon, Dimensionals, Big Shot Platform, Big Shot Die Cut Machine, Stampin' Scrub, Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner, Fine-Tip Glue Pen, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Tear & Tape Adhesive
