Make It Mine Monday: Pink & Black

by

Of course Barb Mullikin’s card caught my eye! It’s probably my favorite color combination. Of course, black does go well with a lot of colors. It makes the other color pop!

I really like the simplicity of this card. Barb gave this card a little extra something-something by using this fun scalloped border from the Basic Borders dies. I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before but this die set is one of my favorites in Stampin’ Up!’s new Annual Catalog. It’s so versatile with six different border dies to choose from!

Did you notice how Barb made the flowers pop by adding just a hint of color? What a fun technique!

I liked Barb’s card so much I decided not to stray too far from the orignal. Naturally I added another layer. Could there be a Make It Mine card where I didn’t? Ha!

I embossed the Polished Pink background with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder which just happens to be my go-to for a hint of texture. I also added a little color to the centers of my flowers with Pale Papaya.

You’re probably wondering how Barb and I added that little bit of color to our flowers. Sponge Dauber! That little sponge tool was perfect for both making a little circle of pink around the center of the flowers and for dabbing a spot of color in the middle of the flower.

You can’t go wrong with a pink and black card (unless you really don’t like the color pink!). Have a great Memorial Day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Fun Fold: Twisted Gate Fold Card

by
Twisted Gate Fold Card

Today’s Fun Fold is the Twisted Gate Fold or Diagonal Gate Fold card.  This unique fold is a lot easier to make than it looks.  I would almost call it the Twisted Double-Flap Gate Fold because like the regular Double-Flap Gate Fold card that I showed you a few weeks ago, you fold the front panels back on themselves. In this fun fold though you fold the front panels back on the diagonal.

I just had to use the Hey Chick stamp set again before it is gone for good. It’s only available until June 30th or until supplies last and that goes for the fabulous coordinating dies. If you love them as much as I do be sure to get them while you can!

Here is the template for the base of the card. The dimensions are 7 1/2″ x 4 1/4″. Score along the long side at 2 1/2″ and 5″. Then score diagonally as shown on the template.

These are the two decorative pieces of designer paper. They both measure 4″ x 2 1/4 and are cut on the diagonal but one is cut from the upper left to the lower right and the other is cut from the upper right to the lower left.

The four triangles are labeled for you in this photo and the photo below shows where to adhere them on the card. I found it was easier to figure out where to place them while I had the card closed. I’ve labeled the pieces here so you can see where I placed them on the card below.

Honestly, figuring out where to put these four decorative pieces was the hardest part of making the card. When you are adhering your focal point to the front of the card you need to make sure you only adhere it to the L1 piece or you won’t be able to open the card.

I’ve attached a couple more photos of the card below so you can see it both fully open and partially open. It really is a fun fold and it will fit into a regular-sized envelope.

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping

Make It Mine: Hand-Penned

by

I will admit (again…?) that the Hand-Penned Suite in Stampin’ Up!’s in new annual catalog is one of my favorites!  I can’t seem to get enough of it!  I really love the designer paper.  You will see a lot of it in my projects.

The card that inspired me today was made by Julie Sperman.  Thank you Julie!  Pale Papaya isn’t my favorite color but it looks so nice with Misty Moonlight!  Julie used the Penned Flower Dies as well as the Tailor Made Tags Dies. These tag dies are becoming another favorite of mine! (Honestly, there aren’t too many Stampin’ Up! products that I don’t like!) She also used the Genial Gems on her card that coordinate perfectly with the Hand-Penned Designer Paper.  Coordination!  Love it!

I liked Julie’s card so much I was having trouble figuring out how to change it! How do you alter something so lovely?

I started with the card base itself.  On her card, Julie layered a piece of Pale Papaya on a Pale Papaya card base.  To change it up I decide to go with a Misty Moonlight card base.  Even after telling you to check your die sets for nice border dies I left off the scallop border on my card and used a larger piece of the designer paper since it’s so pretty!  The tags on both of our cards are pretty similar but I threaded my ribbon differently and used my gems as the centers for the flowers.

Have you tried any Make It Mine projects?  You should!  It’s pretty fun.  Go ahead and give it a try!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Make It Mine: Party Puffins!

by

The Party Puffins stamp set was another one of those stamp sets that I didn’t think I needed. Once again, I was wrong. Sheesh! You try to be good and then someone posts a really cute card and you want to copy it.

I was looking at this adorable stamp set sitting on my shelf and knew that I wanted to use it for today’s post. So I hit the internet looking for a fun sample. Caroline’s card here was the one that caught my eye. Isn’t it cute?

If you’re looking at this fun paper and trying to figure out where it is in the catalog I’m going to give you a hint….it’s on page 171 and is a hostess only choice. Honestly, it might be worth it to host a gathering (or place a large order) just so that you can choose the Pattern Party 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. It will only cost $18 of your hostess rewards and you get 48 sheets of 12″ x 12″ paper! One side is fun and colorful and the other side is black and white. Too fun!

Party Puffins Birthday Card

But let’s get back to the card. Of course the first thing I had to switch up on Caroline’s card was to add a few layers. Red always looks good with black and white so I added a red layer on both the front and the inside of the card.

I would have been remiss if I hadn’t included the little fishies with bows on my card. They’re actually one of my favorite parts of the stamp set! Ha!

Party Puffins Birthday Card – inside

The other thing I changed was that I just used one sentiment and put it on the inside of the card.

I was tickled with how cute this fun little card turned out and I can’t wait to make more of them! You’ll definitely see me sharing more cards using this adorable stamp set!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Make It Mine: 2 For 1

by

I saw this card on Pinterest and liked the simplicity of it.  It was the perfect card to showcase the gorgeous new Soft Succulent In-Color as well as the fun silhouette dies from the Meadow dies. (These dies can be bundled with the Quite Meadow stamp set).

The first thing I thought of after admiring this card was “2 for 1”!  I’m not sure if Carol die cut the floral image from the green or if she die cut it from the white and the green we see is from the background layer.  It doesn’t really matter because I saw it both ways and figured I could make two cards with one die-cut image! So that’s what I did!

Here are the two cards that I made from Carol’s inspiration. As you can see, I die cut the floral silhouette from Basic White cardstock to make the focal point for both cards.

On the white card I used the die-cut space of white cardstock as the focal point and on the Soft Succulent card I used the die-cut image.

From there I simply added layers and coordinating ribbon to finish off my cards. As I was creating these cards I kept thinking to myself that they needed something else….maybe an embossed or stamped background or something but then I decided that the simplicity of the cards made them work. Sometimes it’s good to remember that less is more.

The Meadows dies are gorgeous. There are 6 floral/greenery silhouette images along with 2 butterflies, 2 labels and some small leaves. I can’t wait to begin my next project using these dies and the coordinating Quite Meadow stamp set!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Make It Mine Monday: Pretty in Pink

by
Stampin’ Up!’s Color & Contour Bundle

This past month I participated in two different card swaps.  For each of them I made twenty cards ( a different design for each one), mailed them to the hostess and each she sent me back twenty cards from other demonstrators.  This card was made by own of the hostesses.  Isn’t it lovely?  Michelle made it with the Color & Contour Bundle that you can find in Stampin’ Up!’s  2021-2022 Annual Catalog which comes out TOMORROW!  Woo Hoo! 

Michelle used two of the new In-Colors, Polished Pink and Pale Papaya.  The designer paper is from the Pansy Petal pack (pg. 132, #155807 $11.50). Aren’t the little flowers cute?   They’re from a package call Loose Flower Flower Flourishes (pg. 141, #155808 $7.50).  They come in two different sizes and three different colors, Pale Papaya, Polished Pink and Fresh Freesia.

Color & Contour Bundle Card by Cindy Russell

I really liked Michelle’s card but I knew I wanted to make it mine but where to start? Her card is so pretty and you know how much I love the new Polished Pink color! I like the new Pale Papaya color but I’m not sure how I like it with the Polished Pink.

Changing the two major colors on the card was the first thing I did. I decided to coordinate Polished Pink with the Fresh Freesia. Next I changed the Basic White cardstock to Very Vanilla since I liked how it coordinated better with the designer paper.  Then, of course, I had to add more layers.  You know me and my layers!  I decided to go with Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink instead of the Polished Pink and Pale Papaya.   To finish off my card I switched out the ribbon and added another little flower. 

This card layout is fun because it gives you a chance to show off a little bit of designer paper.  The front of the card base is trimmed by 1”.  Then you add a piece of 1” designer paper to the insert of your card.  Add a focal point that overhangs the trimmed off area and your card is done!

The Color & Contour Bundle is very versatile. The stamp set has a few fun flower images and five different sentiments. The die set has two dies that cut out the floral images from the stamp set and 5 different scalloped rectangle dies and a scalloped border die. Too fun! You can view this bundle on page 98 of the new Annual Catalog.

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Fun Folds: Bellyband Gatefold Card

by

Last week I introduced you to the Gatefold Card. It was a fun and easy card to make.

Today I want to share the Bellyband Gatefold Card to you. The base of the card is made the same way as you make the basic Gatefold card base. Start with a piece of cardstock that is 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″. With the long edge at the top of your Simply Scored or Paper Trimmer score 2 1/8″ from each end.

The difference on the two types of cards comes with the focal point. On the original Gatefold Card you design a focal point that you adhere directly to the left side of the card base.

On the Bellyband Gatefold Card you design a Bellyband that holds the card closed. My bellyband is 9 1/2″ x 1″. This gave me enough overlap to adhere the two ends of the bellyband together. 9 1/2″ – 9 3/4″ should be good for a card that’s 4 1/4″ wide. If your card is the same size but in landscape orientation instead of portrait you will need to start with a bellyband that is 12″ long. I didn’t score my bellyband. Instead, I held one end of the band just over the halfway point of the card and then I loosely wrapped it around the card. You don’t want your bellyband too loose or it will fall of the card. Then again, you don’t want it too tight or you won’t get it off of the card. You do want to use a stronger adhesive like liquid glue or Stampin’ Seal + to adhere the ends of your bellyband together.

Once you have the bellyband itself made you just need to add your focal point. I decided to go simple on this card. I stamped the flower and added rhinestones. I was going to adhere the flower focal point square on the card but then it dawned on me that the diamond shape might be just a bit more interesting.

Here is a phot of the inside of the card along with the bellyband. You can see how the bellyband looks when it’s not on the card.

If you like fun fold cards but don’t want to get too carried away the Gatefold Fun Fold Card and the Bellyband Fun Fold Card are great choices. They are both fairly easy to make. The hardest part is figuring out your colors and design!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Make It Mine Monday: A Blast From the Past!

by

I’m trying to get my craft room/things organized (yes, I realize this is on ongoing situation in my life) and came across this blast from the past.  Who remembers the Upsy Daisy stamp set? How about the Square Lattice Embossing Folder?  I remember both of these products as being favorites of mine. 

I’ve determined that this card has to be about 10-11 years old.  I went searching through old catalogs and found that embossing folders first appeared in Stampin’ Up! catalogs in the 2010-2011 catalog.   Wow!  That is a while ago!

When I came across this card I really liked the three-panel layout of the card.  I knew that with the new Fresh Freesia In-Color I had three purples that went well together so I thought I’d give the layout a try.

This is what I came up with for my new three-panel card. As I was posting the picture I realized that I did forget to use an embossing folder on the card. Oh, well….

I think it turned ok even without the embossing folder. Don’t look too closely at the image…my embossing got a little messy. Sorry!

I used a floral image from the new Quite Meadow stamp set that will be in Stampin’ Up!’s upcoming 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. It has a coordinating die set called Meadow Dies and they are actually the star of the bundle. There are six silhouetted floral dies, a couple of labels and a few smaller images. You can view it on page 160 of the new annual catalog.

The purples I used on my new card are Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape. I love that these colors coordinate together so well. This was a fun card to make. I hope you like it too.

Have a great day. Take care and Happy Stamping!

Make It Mine Monday: Think Spring!

by

Happy Monday!  We’re past the midpoint of April and I need to think Spring.  We had snow here in Colorado last week (over 6″!) and we’re suppose to get more tonight!  Sheesh!  I’m ready for warm weather.  Since flowers are definitely a sign of Spring I thought I’d find a floral card to copy for Make It Mine Monday.

I received this lovely card in a swap from Tina Barela.  It was made using the Art Gallery stamp set from Stampin’ Up!’s January – June Mini Catalog.  This stamp set is part of the Fine Art Floral Suite of products that can be found on pages 32-33 of the Mini Catalog.  So many fun products!  The sentiment and the die to cut it out are part of the suite.  Tina used Flirty Flamingo and Mossy Meadow as the colors on her card.

The first reason that this card caught my eye to CASE was that it was PINK! When the dominate color of the card is my favorite color of course it’s going to catch my eye! I also liked that Tina used two different embossing folders on her card. It may be hard to see but she used the Subtle Embossing Folder on the large piece of Basic White cardstock. This embossing folder is retiring on May 3rd so if you love it as much as I do you may want to get one fast!

Stampin’ Up!’s Art Gallery Stamp Set

As you can see I didn’t change too much on Tina’s card. I kept pink the main color but instead of using Flirty Flamingo like Tina did I used the brand new 2021-2023 In-Color Polished Pink! I think it’s my new favorite Stampin’ Up! color!

I also used the strip of pink embossed with one of the Greenery Mini Embossing Folders. I have to admit I wanted to add the Subtle Embossing Folder to the Basic White background of my card like Tina’s but unfortunately I didn’t remember until the card was put together….oh, well….

I did add a few more layers to my card. You know that I can never seem to have enough layers on a card. Ha!

Soft Succulent is the gorgeous green that you’re seeing on my card. It too is one of the new In-Colors. It’s very similar to Mint Macaron but with a little more gray to it. And of course my card wouldn’t be complete with ribbon….Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon to be precise. Oooo….SO pretty!

It’s so fun (and easy!) to get inspiration from someone else’s project. Have you tried it lately? If not, go for it! Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Fun Fold: Angled Corner

by
Angled Corner Fun Fold Card
Angled Corner Fun Fold Card
Angled Corner Fun Fold Card – back

The Angled Corner Fun Fold card is fun and easy to make. The upper left corner of the card isn’t cut off, it’s folded in on itself. You then use die-cut or punched images to fill in the area that is “missing” on the card.

When you are decorating the card and filling in this “missing” area you want to be sure to stay within the 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ card front area so that you card will fit in the envelope.

Below you can see some photos of the inside of the card as well as the side where the angled fold is.

The nice thing about this fun fold is that it’s easy to alter. You can increase or decrease the size of your angled fold depending on the size of dies/punches that you use to cover the “missing” corner.

You also want to add a die-cut or punched image on the fold on the inside of your card to show it off. In the picture to the left you can see how adhered the single die-cut flower to the inside fold.

The fold itself is made up of only 3 scored lines and one of those scored lines is the one you made at the halfway point (4 1/4″) to form your card. Below you can see the template I used for my card.

The cardstock measures 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ which is a standard card size. I scored it along the long edge at 4 1/4″ which will be the center fold of my card.

Along this center fold score line I measured in 2 3/4″ and made a light pencil mark.

I also measured up 2 1/2″ from this center fold score line and down 2 1/2″ making light pencil marks at these points.

You can’t really use the Simply Scored tool or your Paper Trimmer to score these angled lines so you need to get out your trusty Bone Folder and a regular old ruler or any type of tool with a straight edge. Line up one of the points on the side with the point on the horizontal score mark and run your Bone Folder along the straight edge.

After you’ve made all three score lines fold the card in half like you usually would. Open it up again and crease the angled score lines in the same direction. They will be “mountain fold”.

This fun fold is very easy to make. The hardest part is figuring out how to decorate it! Be sure to contact me if you have any questions on it. I’ll be happy to help you out!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Make It Mine Monday: Hello New In-Colors!

by

I saw this card by Jeanna Bohanan and knew I had to Make It Mine!  I love the fun little envelopes from the Snail Dies.  So cute! 

This is another “long” card that fits in a regular letter-size envelope.  I shared my first “long” card with you about a month ago and knew it wouldn’t be my last.  It’s kind of fun to work with a different sized card.

Long card with Stampin’ Up!’s new 2021-2022 In-Colors

Here’s my take on Jeanna’s card.  I decided to leave the snail off the card and just focus on the fun little envelopes because I knew they’d be the perfect showcase for Stampin’ Up!’s new 2021-2022 In-Colors!  Yes!  This is your first peek at these gorgeous new colors!

The first envelope is this gorgeous soft green called Soft Succulent.  The bright pink envelope is Polished Pink.  The light peachy/yellow color is Pale Papaya.  The dark green one is Evening Evergreen and the light purple one is called Fresh Freesia.

These new in-colors are gorgeous!  They are probably my favorite grouping recently.  I like them all and am having a hard time deciding which one is my favorite.  How about you?  Which one do you like best?

Last year I made a video for each new In-Color comparing it to current Stampin’ Up! colors and I will be doing that again in the near future so stay tuned.

Let’s get back to talking about the card itself.  As I mentioned, the envelopes dies are from the Snail Dies as are the inserts for the envelopes and the die-cut hearts.  The stamped hearts are from the coordinating Snailed It stamp set and the die-cut letters are from the Playful Alphabet Dies.

My card base is 8” x 9 ¼” which you fold in half along the 8” side so that your card front is 4” x 9 ¼”.  My Basic White layer is 8 5/8” x 3 3/8”.  You can make your Smoky Slate layer 8 7/8” x 3 5/8” for simplicity.  I actually like to make my layers only 3/16” wider instead of ¼” wider so my Smoky Slate layer is actually8 13/16” x  3 9/16”.  I do this because 1/8” difference in layers is sometimes not quite enough.  I know, it can make things confusing but it’s just the way I like to make my cards.  To each his/her own.  Right?

The hardest part of making this card for me was randomly stamping the little hearts.  I just can’t do random very well.  I was stamping along quite nicely until the last few.  Naturally I waited until the end to mess things up but most of the hearts are covered by the envelops and letters so you can hardly tell.  Ha!

This was a fun card to make and it was my first time playing with the new In-Colors.  What do you think of these new In-Colors?  Which is your favorite?  Leave me a comment and let me know.

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Make It Mine Monday: Oh Snap!

by
Oh Snap!

Oh Snap!  This stamp set is adorable and has such cute sentiments in it.  I couldn’t resist it.  This stamp set has been sitting on my shelf for a while now and it was just calling out to be used.  So I dusted it off and hit the internet to find a card to give me inspiration.

I thought this would be the perfect stamp set (and sentiment!) to make a belated birthday card. I do try to get cards out in a timely manner but it doesn’t always work.

Josee Smuck’s card was pretty darn cute and I knew this was the one I wanted to recreate. I didn’t change a whole lot on her card but enough to make it my own.

I made my “river” from Coastal Cabana cardstock and my background piece from Old Olive. I also made my sentiment circle a bit smaller.

I loved the way Josee’s alligator turned out so I tried to stay close to hers. I stamped my alligator in black and then used my Blending Brushes (love those things!) to add color. I started with Pear Pizzaz and then progressed to Old Olive. I did have to fussy cut the alligator but it wasn’t too hard. Josee’s texture on the alligator shows up better than mine. I should have used the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder instead of the Tasteful Texture Folder. Oh, well…next time. I will probably have to make this card again sometime since it turned out so cute. I may have to make my sentiment circle larger on the next one so I can add the fish!

Here’s the inside of my card. The sentiment is from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set. I also had to add the adorable little bird on the inside of the card. If you notice in the picture of the outside of my card I used the little bird on the envelope too. No naked envelopes! 🙂

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Make It Mine: Butterfly Gala

by
Butterfly Gala

Since the Last-Chance Products List came out last week I’ve been removing the retiring items from my craft room.  As I was doing this I came across the Butterfly Gala stamp set and noticed how pretty these butterflies were.  I knew then that I needed to share a card with you using this stamp set and the coordinating Butterfly Duet Punch.  You know me, I love coordination!  Did you know that the Butterfly Duet Punch also coordinates with Butterfly Wishes stamp set?  Unfortunately that stamp set is retiring also.

Since this is a Make It Mine post (even though it’s Thursday…) I had to find a card that I liked that used the Butterfly Gala stamp set and the Butterfly Duet Punch.  Once again, Pinterest saved the day!  While scrolling through, I found this simple and lovely card made by Jill from Paper Daisy Crafting.  Jill did a beautiful job of coloring her butterfly.

I kept my card pretty darn close to the original. I used a couple of layers for my butterfly but I changed the bottom layer on my card to black and left off the ribbon.

Stampin’ Blends Markers were perfect for coloring the butterfly. I will admit that Jill’s butterfly turned out a bit more vibrant than mine.

I do like the simplicity of this card. If you’ve seen enough of my designs you know that I have a bit of trouble with “simple”. Having Jill’s inspiration though really helped me out.

I like this card so much that I’m trying to decide whether or not to keep this stamp set and the coordinating punch in my stash! Decisions, decisions!

What is your favorite stamp set/bundle that’s on the Last-Chance List and leaving us? Leave me a comment and let us know.

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Make It Mine Monday: Kangaroo & Company

by
Kangaroo & Company version 1

How cute is the Kangaroo & Company Bundle?  Have you checked it out on page 17 of Stampin’ Up!’s January-June Catalog?  If not, you should!  Cute little kangaroos, cute sentiments and more!

This first card is one I made following instructions that I received in an online class that I took.  So cute!  All sorts of products were used on the card.  The Kangaroo & Company Bundle, the Snail Mail Designer Paper and the Resin Hearts and white baker’s twine from the Snail mail Twine Combo Pack.  I loved the card but it was a little busy for me.  I know, you’re thinking “isn’t this the gal who can’t make a card without 10 layers?  What does she mean ‘too busy’?”.  Ha! 

Kangaroo & Company version 2

Here’s my simplified version.  I just left off some of the background layers and the Resin Hearts.  That’s it.  I kept the same color palette as well as the red strip and the baker’s twine bow.  On both cards I colored the kangaroo with my Stampin’ Blends Markers.  Cinnamon Cider is the perfect color for the kangaroo.

Do you know the secret to the kangaroo die?  This kangaroo can hide messages.  There’s a special die that slips perfectly into the die-cut slit in the kangaroo.  Stamp one of the small sentiments on cardstock and die cut with the special little sentiment die.  Attach the flower bouquet or the bouquet of hearts to the sentiment die and slip it in the kangaroo’s pouch! 

Kangaroo & Company hidden pouch

The thing to remember when “hiding” messages in the kangaroo pouch is not to put any adhesive in the way of the part the slides down in the slot.  I used Stampin’ Dimensionals and I had to move them a couple times to make sure my sentiment would slide right.  The key is to slide the sentiment in the slot and then add your dimensionals or adhesive.  This way you know it will slide correctly when on the card.

I can’t wait to try another card with the fun Kangaroo & Company Bundle.  Too fun!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Make It Mine Monday: Hey Birthday Chick!

by
Hey Birthday Chick card

I can’t say it enough….I love the Hey Chick and the Hey Birthday Chick stamp sets (and of course the coordinating dies!)! TSC…Too Stinkin’ Cute!

Now pair those adorable chickens with red plaid and chicken wire and you have the perfect combination! Right?!

I got the inspiration for my card from a card by Karen Day that I saw posted online. (You can see her card below.) It was definitely the red Buffalo Check background that caught my eye. I knew I wanted to use the All Wired Up background stamp too. I mean why wouldn’t you use a chicken wire background if your’e stamping chickens! Ha!

card by Karen Day

I started with the chubby dancing chicken on my card but it just didn’t seem to fit with the banner I had made. Then I grabbed the chicken floating with the balloon and tada! my card was complete!

Sometimes you just have to keep playing around. You may have a vague vision in your head of what you want but you just need to keep shuffling things around until it comes together.

Even when you’re copying someone’s card exactly this may happen. You’re cutting and gluing things together and all of the sudden….”OOO, what if I change this or add this…”. Be open to change.

I love browsing Pinterest and the Facebook page just for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators that have SO many ideas! I may see a card that I want to copy exactly but in the end I usually end up changing up a little something.

Happy Birthday Chick card – inside

Don’t forget that if you’re going to all the trouble to make the outside of your card adorable you should add a little bit of that to the inside of the card (and envelope) too! I may not have used the chubby dancing chicken on the outside of my card but she definitely made it on the inside. I’m pretty sure she’ll be on the envelope too!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
