Hello Baby Chick Card

Todays project features the lovely little chick from the Sale-a-Bration stamp set, Honeycomb Happiness.

With so many of my friends and family having recently had a baby, or discovered that they are having a baby, I felt this little chappie was perfect for a baby girl, boy, or a surprise!

Firstly, I cut and scored a card blank, C6 in size, from coloured card.  Then, I cut a panel of Whisper White card, measuring  5 5/8" x 3 7/8", and stuck it to the card blank using Snail Adhesive.  A greeting from the "Teeny Tiny Sentiments" stamp set was then stamped onto a piece of Whisper White card, using black StazOn, and punched out using the Word Window Punch.  Using the Washi Label Punch, I then punched a piece of card from another piece of coloured card.  The greeting was then stuck onto the washi label using Snail Adhesive, and then stuck to the panel of white card using a couple of Stampin' Dimensionals.

The chick is stamped onto a piece of Whisper White card and black StazOn pad, then coloured in using a Classic Stampin' Pad and Stampin' Sponge.  For pink I used Blushing Bride, blue Lost Lagoon, and yellow Hello Honey, ink and card.  The beak and feet of the chick were painted in using Chocolate Classic Stampin' Pad and Aqua Painter.  Once dry, the chick was cut out and stuck to the panel of Whisper White card using Multipurpose Glue (Tombow).

On the inside of the card, I took another panel of Whisper White card, stamped the chick to the corner, then stuck the panel in place using Snail Adhesive.

All of the products used to create these cards can be found here:

Watercolour Easter Chick Card

Happy Monday crafters!  How was your weekend?  Good I hope.  Can you believe its almost Easter?  Where have the past 2 months gone?

In light of the impending holiday, whether you celebrate it for religious reasons, or because you have children, I've created todays Easter Chick Card.

Todays card mostly features a watercolour technique.  I took a blank notecard, and a sheet of Whisper White card, which I cut into panels measuring 4 3/4" x 3 1/4" and 4 1/2" x 3".  Then taking my Hello Honey Stampin' Pad and an Aqua Painter, I applied a wash of colour around the edge of the larger panel.  Leave to dry.  Once dry, using Stampin' Dimensionals, stick in place on the card blank.

Hint:  To do this you can squish the centre of the closed Stampin' Pad slightly, pressing the ink onto the lid, then taking the loaded Aqua Painter, pick up some of the ink from the lid, and apply to the card squeezing the Aqua Painter slightly to release some water.

Then, using the same technique, a Cucumber Crush Stampin' Pad, and a Bermuda Bay Stampin' Pad, I applied a wash to the smaller panel to give the appearance of grass and sky.  Leave to dry.  Once dry, using Snail Adhesive, stick in place on top of the previous panel.

Taking some of the remaining Whisper White Card, and Basic Black Archival Stampin' Pad, I stamped out the chick from the Honeycomb Happiness stamp set, and the banner from the You're So Lovely stamp set.  Once dry, using the Hello Honey Stampin' Pad and Aqua Painter, I applied a wash of colour to the banner and the chick, adding more colour to the beak and feet, and to imitate shadow.  Finally, taking a Calypso Coral Stampin' Write Marker, I added the greeting, and highlighted the edges, of the banner, before cutting out both the banner and chick.

Using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow), I then applied the chick to the card.  The banner was applied using Stampin' Dimensionals, with a coil of Linen Thread in the sandwich of adhesive.

The flowers were created by scribbling a patch of Hello Honey ink (using the Aqua Painter) and Calypso Coral onto Whisper White card, punching out using the flower punch from Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.  The 3D flower effect was achieved by pressing into the centre of each flower with a Simply Scored Stylus, whilst on a Stampin' Pierce Mat.  These were then applied to the card using Tombow.

Sketch Challenge Mojo436 - Ice Cream and Sprinkles

Its Saturday already!  How did that happen?  The past week seems to have flown by...

Today I'm taking part in this weeks Mojo Sketch Challenge, and as I couldn't decide between Blushing Bride and Pool Party, I made two cards, using both colours.  Which do you prefer?

Unusually for me, these cards were also made in C5 size (a sheet of A4, folded in half), and I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out.

My card was decorated with a white panel of card measuring, topped with a coloured panel of card measuring, topped with a sheet of Designer Series Paper (or DSP) measuring.  I then took my 1 1/2" Circle Punch and punched out four circles for each card from a sheet of DSP, and using my 1 3/4" Scalloped Circle Punch, punched out four more circles in the same colour card as the card blank.  These were matted and layered together, before attaching to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Then, on a sheet of Shimmery White card, using a Basic Gray Archival Stampin' Pad, I stamped an ice cream, using Classic Stampin' Pads and Aqua Painters for a watercolour effect.  Once dry, they were cut out, stuck to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals, and matching Honeycomb Embellisments were applied.  The greeting was then stamped onto a piece of white card, measuring 1" x 3 1/2", using Basic Gray ink, and the end was then punched using the Banner Triple Punch, before sticking to the card (behind the scalloped circle) using Snail Adhesive.

Here are the products used:

Sketch Challenge Mojo434 - Monochrome Hang in There Card

Happy Saturday - what better time is there to take part in a sketch challenge!  And today I am taking part in Mojo's sketch challenge, number 434.

After playing with a few different colourways from within my craft stash, I realised I hadn't made a monochrome card - ever!  So here we are, using the Honeycomb Happiness stamp set, is my monochrome "Hang in there" card.

This card could easily be made in another colourway to suit the recipient, but I quite like it in black and white.  Though I am a little tempted to colour in the balloon or ribbon.  What do you think?

Here is the full list of products used to create this project:

Happy Birthday Chick

With Sale-a-Bration in full swing, today I'd like to share with you a card and gift tag combo, made using one of the Sale-a-Bration stamp sets.  You could choose the Honeycomb Happiness as your free gift for spending £45 on anything Stampin' Up!

This chirpy little guy was stamped in Basic Black Archival Stampin' Pad, then coloured in using the Hello Honey Classic Stampin' Pad and an Aqua Brush.  The balloon was much the same, only stamped twice, the first into the background paper, then a second into some Whisper White card.  The balloon was then cut out and attached on top of the other balloon with Stampin' Dimensionals 3D foam pads.

The tag was made from a piece of Whisper White card, cut to 2" x 4" (or 5cm x 10cm), then the end punched using the Angled Tag Topper Punch (currently on sale within our Clearance section).  The tag was then decorated in pretty much the same way as the card

In addition to the Sale-a-Bration stamp sets used, here are the products used to create today's project:
