Hey Chick, Chick, Chick

I just couldn't resist making another Hey Chick card after putting my stamps away from last weekend.  Seeing the Hardwood Background stamp made me do it!

Simple card using some scraps up as well as making something fun.

Recipe:

Crumb Cake - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Real Red - 5 1/4" x 4"
Crumb Cake - 5" x 3 7/8" - inked with Soft Suede on the Hardwood Background

Whisper White scraps were used for the Chicks and the "hey chick".

Then Real Red cut 1/4 inch bigger on each end than the Whisper White Scraps.

I carefully colored the Real Red with with our Real Red Stampin' Write Marker and Pumpkin Pie for the beak and feet.

Simple and fun!  I just love these chickies, can you tell? 

Stylized Masculine Birthday

A little break from Halloween and Christmas to make some masculine birthday cards.

This card came together very quickly.  I started with a 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of scrap paper.  I used the largest oval from Layering Ovals and then carefully tore away a little bit more paper to make it uneven.  See picture below:

Recipe:
Night of Navy - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Soft Suede - 5 1/4" x 4"
Very Vanilla - 5" x 3 3/4"

With the Hardwood background stamp rubber side up, ink it up with Crumb Cake, lay the torn oval over the stamp and then lay the Very Vanilla piece onto to the open space on the stamp.  Rub gently to transfer the ink.  Gently lift off.  Repeat for as many cards as you plan to make.  Attach the Very Vanilla piece to the Soft Suede piece.

Stamp the Stylized Birthday stamp with Night of Navy.
Tie Night of Navy (Annual Catalog) and Gold Baker's Twine (found in the Holiday Mini) around the Very Vanilla / Soft Suede card stock.  I tied each of them differently, for a little variety.

Add gold Metallic Enamel Shapes as desired.  Attach to the Night of Navy base with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Don't forget to put another piece of Very Vanilla inside for stamping or writing your greeting.

Cheerful Critters are On the Fence

The best thing about being part of a great team is having a great leader - I'm happy to say my leader, Lorri Heiling, is the best in my book!  She has such fun creative ideas and shares them with everyone.

Yesterday she posted the cutest card and I simply had to snag it and give it a go.  I made a couple of changes to make it mine, but the concept I borrowed from Lorri.  Thank you Lorri, this is adorable!

Sadly this adorable stamp set - Cheerful Critters - will be gone June 2nd and is not carrying over to the new Annual Catalog!  It's such a cute set, so if you want it, grab it now, before it's gone!

There are a couple of things on the list below (see on my blog if you can't view them in an email) that won't be available until June 2nd, but I couldn't resist using them.  The Watermelon Wonder (balloons) and the Cucumber Crush (bunny's dress).  Also, Since I'm keeping my Blendabilities until they dry out, I decided to use them to color.  I just can't give them up while they still have life!

Thank you for looking in today!  Don't forget Mother's Day tomorrow!  If your Mom is still here, please give her an extra hug for those of us who have to wait to see our Mom's again in Heaven.  Mother's Day is especially difficult for me because My Dad's birthday is today (May 9th) and usually falls near Mother's Day - which it makes it a double whammy.  

I miss them both so much.

God bless!
