HEY CHICK and HEY BIRTHDAY CHICK - Such fun bundles to play with!

Image
  Hello, Stampers!     It's been a while.  I just love the Hey Chick and Hey Birthday Chick Bundles.  They're so easy to use separately or to combine elements from each.  Below are are a few details and the supplies for this card.     All of my die cuts were stamped onto Shimmery White CS, my favorite for focal points.  I love the subtle sparkle and it works so well with Blends and Markers.     The DSP I used are Paper Blooms and Oh So Ombre.  The Ombre piece is 2-3/4 x 4.

HEY, BIRTHDAY CHICK - HELP ME DOWN! - SALE-A-BRATION ENDS 2/28!

  Hello, Stampers!     This tubby little hen is yelling for help!  One balloon would have been enough and now she's out of control.  ;-)       I've used elements from both Chick Bundles for this birthday notecard, as you will see below when you see the inside!  I had fun playing with the different dies.  All of my stamped images are on Shimmery White CS.  You'll have to click below and go to my blog to see more, colors, etc.   Happy Stampin’!

August Stamp Camp - WAY TO GOAT

Image
  Hello, Stampers!     Just love this cute set, Way to Goat.  We all need a little humor right now.  Minimal coloring on this one, just a few Stampin' Blends or Markers, the Layering Circles Dies and DSP, Artistry Blooms.  The 4 x 5-1/4 mat is Granny Apple Green and the circle mats are Coastal Cabana.  Some ribbon or twine (we https://sueduffy.stampinup.net used a retired thick baker's twine) and a little bling - that's it!  Products below.

ANOTHER FUN, QUICK AND EASY DSP CARD! MAY STAMP CAMP

Image
NEW HOST CODE:   YNBSWNMK Hello, Stampers!     I got the idea for this card from Kelly Acheson (A Stamp Above).  Pull out those punches, circle dies and DSP scraps again for this fun card!  Two of the circles here are cut or punched from the How Sweet It Is DSP (I love the bright and cheerful colors) and I don't even remember where we pulled the others from.  The only changes we made to Kelly's card (other than DSP) is that we added a little Wink of Stella on the candle and a couple of white enamel dots (retired), which we colored with Stampin' Blends.  Any bling will do.  More details and products used below. Happy Stampin’! Sue Duffy ~ mandsduffy@comcast.net Details:       The card base is Bermuda Bay (campers had their choice of BB or Melon Mambo), the Basic Black Mat is 5-1/4 x 4 and the WW layer is 5-1/8 x 3-7/8.      The Punches we used are 2-1/2", 1-3/4", 1-1/2" and 1-1/4."  Any circle shapes of comparable sizes will work.

Hello, Stampers!      I will be hosting Stamp Camp next Saturday, April 13, at 10 AM, here in Mooresville, IN.  I you are local (including Indianapolis) and would like to join us, let me know by the end of the day, Monday (April 8).  Now, on to this card.       You know, sometimes we are not thrilled about an upcoming birthday - the older we get, especially - been there, done that.  I've mentioned before, that I've been starting to print my own, original  sentiments for the inside of a card.  So, we will use one of my original sentiments for this Happy Tails, "not so thrilled to be having a birthday" card.             TIP:   D id you know that you can use color codes to match SU! colors when creating a document or online?   After over 10 years as a Demonstrator, I finally found out about it - I never asked - who knew?  They are called RGB/HEX codes - and numbers correspond to each color. HEX for online use and RGB for MSWord or other software.  A generous, ta
