Celebrate With Tea

 Hello and welcome back! Here's today's card:

This design was inspired by the challenges at Just Add Ink, TGIFC, and Tic Tac Toe Challenges.

I found the JAI color combination to be a bit unusual, but decided to run with it anyway! I converted the TGIFC sketch into a mini slimline to meet the Tic Tac Toe challenge, along with creating a card for a celebration and including an envelope (right-hand column)

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

Card of the Day - Another Birthday Chick!

Hello and welcome back! Today I've got another card made with the fabulous Hey Birthday Chick set.

I've got a few layers on this card, but otherwise it's pretty straight forward. I found some old retired Chicken Wire Elements in my stash and thought they'd be perfect for a chick card. 

The base layer is embossed with the Subtle embossing folder, then I added the chicken wire and a couple of stitched squares. The chick is lightly colored and die cut, then popped up with dimensionals. The sentiment is stamped on a narrow flagged strip and stapled to a bit of Granny Apple Green ribbon before being attached to the card front.

 And of course, I had to add the chick in the egg to the inside and the envelope. They are colored with Stampin' Write Markers.

This design was inspired by the sketch challenge at Fab Friday and the challenges at Paper Craft Crew and the Paper Players.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

Card of the Day - Hey Birthday Chick!

Hello and welcome back! For today's card I raided my substantial stash of retired products for some DSP, cardstock, and a background stamp. Here's my card:

I still have the old "Hey Chick" set in my collection from four years ago, so when I saw the "Hey Birthday Chick" set in the new mini, I just knew I had to have it. It seems that I was not the only one who felt that way, because Stampin' Up! decided to bring back the old set AND create dies for both sets! So much fun!

For this card, I used Gumball Green for the card base, an old In Color from about 9 years ago, and I pulled out a coordinating DSP, Print Poetry. The background on the oval is the Netting stamp, also an oldie but goodie.

The chick with balloon is colored in with Stampin' Blends and popped up with dimensionals. I love that die-cut Happy Birthday!

 And I didn't forget the inside - the little chick is also colored in with Stampin' Blends.

This design was inspired by the sketch challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
