Colour Combo March Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Colour Combo March Blog Hop as we explore this month's color combination of Mango Melody, Petal Pink and Terracotta Tile. You will have the chance to visit with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas and projects to help inspire you to step outside your comfort zone. 

The colors for this month's challenge led me to the new Hey Birthday Chick Bundle (item #158631). These colors are so sunny and cheerful and fit perfectly with this cute birthday chick image and the die cut birthday sentiment. I wanted to keep the design simple, so I chose not to use any embellishments and instead used the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder (item #151775) to add some soft texture to the background.

Small piece for Chick image stamped and die cut with the Hey Birthday Chick Bundle

This clean and simple design is easy to create for a fun birthday card. The layering of the different colors of cardstock creates a frame for the focal image and sentiment. I colored the chick and cupcake with the Petal Pink and Mango Melody Stampin' Blends Markers and the Cajun Craze Stampin' Write Marker and die cut it with the coordinating die. I love how the Mango Melody cardstock makes the Happy Birthday die cut sentiment pop against the Basic White cardstock background. The Subtle 3D Embossing Folder adds wonderful texture to the background without overpowering the card design. I sponged a small area with Mango Melody Classic ink and a sponge to create the look of the ground. Using the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush, I colored the sponged area, the images and the Happy Birthday die cut to add a touch of shimmer to finish off the design. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help to inspire you to explore this wonderful color combination when creating your projects.

GSF March Blog Hop Sweets & Treats

Welcome to the GSF (aka Global Stamping Friends) March Blog Hop as we explore the theme of Sweets & Treats. You will have the opportunity to visit talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their projects and ideas to help inspire you. 

Today I am sharing a cute treat box for Easter that I created with the Love You Always Treat Boxes (item #154285) from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. I used the Hey Chick Birthday Bundle (item #158631) with the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper (item #152495) to decorate the box to create a fun, cheerful design. I love the size of these treat boxes and they are great for filling with candy or you can add a small gift. 

Products Used:

Hey Birthday Chick Bundle (item #158631)

Chick Dies (item #158199)

Special Day Dies (item #153587)

Measurements:

2 pieces - 1 1/4" x 3 7/8"

2 pieces - 1 1/4" x 2 1/2"

Miscellaneous Scrap Cardstock for Grass and Flowers die cut with the Special Day Dies

Scraps of Designer Series Paper die cut with the Chick Dies for the eggs

The Love You Always Teat Boxes are a great way to create fun gifts without having to stress about creating your own box from scratch. I had so much fun decorating this cute box and chose bright, cheerful colors that work well for Spring and Easter. To decorate the top and sides of the box, I added the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper. I colored the chick image with Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral and Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends Markers and I used the several of the dies from the Special Day Dies to create the grass, flowers and sentiment label to decorate the box. For the eggs, I used the eggs die from the Chick Dies and die cut them twice from different scraps of designer series paper to get the fun patterns so that they looked like Easter Eggs. For a touch of bling, I added small Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the centers of the flowers. These boxes work for so many occasions and they are so versatile. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my treat box will help inspire you to create your own fun projects. There are so many wonderful possibilities to choose from and so many great ways to decorate them.

We Create February Blog Hop Whatevs

 

It's time to hop along with the We Create February Blog Hop and our theme this month is "Whatevs". What does that mean? Basically we get to choose whatever we like to create our projects to help inspire you. You will be visiting with creative Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their ideas and projects. 

I am so excited about the new Hey Birthday Chick Bundle which will be available to order starting tomorrow, February 2nd. Some of you may remember the Hey Chick stamp set that was a Sale-a-bration reward back in 2017 and the great news is that this stamp, plus coordinating dies, will also be available to order tomorrow. I just love the barn yard animals that Stampin' Up! has released over the past couple of years and I just had to add this new bundle to my collection. I chose to use colors from the 2020-2022 In Colors for this card design to create a fun, cheerful birthday card. 

Products Used:

Hey Birthday Chick Bundle

2020-2022 In Color 6"x6" Designer Series Paper

Layering Ovals Dies

Cinnamon Cider Cardstock

Basic White Cardstock

Poppy Parade Cardstock

Misty Moonlight Cardstock

Just Jade Cardstock

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad

Just Jade Stampin' Blends Combo Pack

Cinnamon Cider Stampin' Blends Combo Pack

Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends Combo Pack

Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends Combo Pack 

Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends Combo Pack 

Measurements:

Cinnamon Cider Cardstock Card Base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" 

(Scored at 4 1/4")

Bumblebee Designer Series Paper Layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

Basic White Cardstock 

- Sentiment Label die cut with Layering Ovals Dies

- For image created with Hey Birthday Chick Bundle

Poppy Parade Cardstock

- For Scalloped Oval die cut with Layering Ovals Dies

I love the bright cheerful colors in the 2020-2022 In Color collection and I thought they worked perfectly with this bundle. The Bumblebee Polka Dot background helps make the other colors pop. I used Cinnamon Cider, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends Markers to color the images and I used Light Just Jade Stampin' Blends Marker to color the small Basic Pearls to embellish the sentiment label. I used the Layering Ovals to create the label and used Poppy Parade cardstock to help the sentiment label pop against the background. The fence line is just one of the fun dies in this bundle and I love that it cuts and embosses the die cut to add texture to the design. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to try the new Hey Birthday Chick Bundle which will be available to order starting tomorrow, February 2nd, 2021.
