To recreate the sweet penguin card, you will need:

The trees were stamped in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation, love how you can get multiple shades of the same colour using just one ink pad.

A good luck chick card to celebrate a retirement and made using Stampin' Up! products

Good Luck Chick

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a jolly good luck chick card made to celebrate a friends’ retirement at the end of August. Like me she wok as a nurse for over 35 years at Royal Papworth Hospital, a specialist heart and lung hospital here in the UK. I am so looking forward to celebrating with her with a visit to our favourite café for a special full English breakfast.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the good luck chick card, you will need:

Poppy Parade card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Soft Suede card – 5¾” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White ¼” strip

I started by stamping the 1st dancing chicken on the right-hand side of the slightly longer Basic White panel. I stamped the same image onto three Post It Notes and cut around the images with Scissors and used these to provide masks.

One of the masks was placed over the stamped chicken and another chicken was stamped to the left. The second mask was then placed over the top of this chicken and another bird stamped to the left.

The last mask was then added to the third chicken and the chicken with a balloon was stamped so that she appeared to be floating out of the gang. The masks were then removed.

I used the following Blends Marker Pens to colour in the chicks and the balloon – Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Cinnamon Cider, Gray Granite, Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight & Bronze

The stamped panel was layered onto the Soft Suede panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole piece was then added to the Poppy Parade card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Welcoming Woods stamp set, was stamped in Poppy Parade ink onto the strip of Basic White and the strip was cut down and flagged with Scissors. I added a trio of Red Rhinestones to finish the card.

Sweet birthday card featuring a toucan

Bird Banter card

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a sweet little card made using the Bird Banter stamp set from the Spring/Summer Catalogue.

Sweet birthday card featuring a toucan

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 3⅞” by 2⅜”. I stamped the sentiment in Momento Tuxedo Black ink at the bottom of the panel and added the ‘toucan’ image on top using the same ink. I added the balloon in the Momento Tuxedo Black ink.

I used the following Stampin’ Blends to colour in the image – Light & Dark Night of Navy, Light & Dark Bermuda Bay, Light & Dark Daffodil Delight and Light & Dark Pool Party. I added a retired Black Rhinestone eye to the bird.

I rounded the top of the panel with my Envelope Punch Board and backed it with a panel of Daffodil Delight cardstock measuring 4” by 2½”, also with a rounded corner.

Taking a Pool Party card base I stamped the left side of the card front using Pool Party ink and added a 5⅞” by ¾” piece of Bubble and Fizz dsp using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The stamped panel was added to the card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Such a simple, sweet card. Hope you like it.
