Spring Chicken

March 20, 2021March 20, 2021 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 3 Comments

Happy Spring! When I saw the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set I knew I had to have it! A friend of mine not only raises chickens, her birthday is the first day of spring! The “spring chicken” sentiment was perfect for her birthday!

This card is a CASE (Copy And Share Everything) from Lee Ann Greff. I love the fun fold, color combination, and how it showcases the different chickens! Another chicken is on the inside of this fun fold.

Here’s a look at the Hey Birthday Chick Bundle used to create this card.

The Hey Birthday Chick Bundle includes the Hey Birthday Chick Stamp Set and the Birthday Chick Dies. The Hey Birthday Chick Stamp Set is “chick” full of celebratory images and phrases you can use to make any birthday delightful. These quirky line-art chicks are ready to be stamped and colored using your favorite coloring technique. Use this set to celebrate birthdays, friendship, and more. Break out the Birthday Chick Dies for a birthday bash! In addition to chicken and fence images, you’ll also get a celebratory bow, garland, and more. Use them together to create an amazing birthday scene. The chicken on the inside is stamped directly on the white cardstock. The fence and two chickens on the front of the card are cut out using the dies and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

This card was created using the Hey Chick Stamp Set which was a retired Sale-A-Bration stamp set until Stampin’ Up! brought it back along with coordinating dies. Woo Hoo! Take a look.

Create a fun, whimsical chicken family with the variety of images in the Hey Chick Stamp Set. Pair the images with great greetings about friendship and you’ve got the makings for wonderful projects for family and friends. You can add color to the line-art images using your favorite coloring technique or give the paper piercing technique a try like I did above. Create chickens, eggs, coops, and more with the Chick Dies. Use these dies to cut out stamped images, create backgrounds, or build rural scenes. You have everything you need for farmtime fun. If you already have the stamp set from several years ago, you can purchase the coordinating dies separately. *See the complete product list below. These two bundles are only available for a limited time. You can click on the link below to view/print the flyer.
Hey Chick and Hey Birthday Chick Bundles

Which bundle do you prefer? I’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment below. I love having both stamp sets for a variety of sentiments and fun chickens! The word die and fence was a must have so I bought the birthday bundle. I was glad I still had the Hey Chick stamp set when it first debuted. There’s some stamp sets I just can’t let go even after they retire!

Have a great day! Stay safe! Stay well!

Let’s Celebrate

April 9, 2017April 10, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 17 Comments

I had an amazing fun filled weekend at the Stampin’ Up! OnStage event in Richmond, Virginia! I will be sharing sneak peeks with you just as soon as I can. (Check back this afternoon for a sneak peek at this month’s Paper Pumpkin!)

What I can share with you is the card I made for the card swap. Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators love to share cards and projects to inspire you and each other. Here are the cards I made.

I love to make fun fold cards! This one is a free standing triple panel card and not only is it really quite easy to make, it’s also useful for many different occasions…birthday, anniversary, graduation, retirement, new baby, or any event you want to celebrate. I made 50 of these (the day before I left). When I make multiple cards I do it assembly line style. I cut everything, then score, emboss, stamp, and finally assemble. Most of the time I use the Stampin’ Trimmer to score my cards. However, for this project I used the Simply Scored Scoring Tool and quickly scored 26 pieces of cardstock.

My cardstock measures 8 1/4 x 11. With the 8 1/4″ length across the top, I scored it at 1 1/4, 2 1/4, 6, and 7. ThenI cut it in half to make 2 pieces measuring 5 1/2 x 8 1/4. I folded the sides back and forth along the score lines to create the panels then I embossed the ends using the Confetti Embossing Folder. I used the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies (and the Precision Base Plate) to cut the center panel from a piece of 3 1/2 x 5 1/4 piece of whisper white. I stamped the sentiment and banner from the Balloon Adventures Stamp Set using Night of Navy ink. (The photopolymer stamps make it so easy to see exactly where you are stamping.) I used the Balloon Bouquet Punch to punch the balloons from the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack as well as Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay cardstock. I attached the balloons using Multipurpose Liquid Glue then adhered the center piece to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used a glue dot to attach the bow. (I wish I had a picture of me making the bows and attaching the Stampin’ Dimensionals in the back seat of the car during the drive to Richmond Friday afternoon. Nothing like last minute! LOL)

Here’s a look at the finished projects. Which color do you prefer?

Melon Mambo with Night of Navy

Bermuda Bay with Night of Navy

The cards fold flat and fit in a standard envelope. I packaged each in a clear envelope for swapping.

Stamp Set: Balloon Adventure Ink: Night of Navy Papers: Night of Navy, Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, Brights Designer Series Paper Stack, Whisper White Tools & Accessories: Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies, Precision Base Plate, Big Shot, Confetti Embossing Folder, Stampin’ Trimmer, Simply Scored Scoring Tool, Balloon Bouquet Punch, Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay 1/8″ Stitched Ribbon, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Glue Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals

*UPDATE: The Balloon Pop-Up Thinlit Dies I used on this card is retiring and is now 50% off while supplies last! Click HERE to add this to your shopping cart before they sell out!

Here’s a photo of some us having dinner Friday night at Tarrant’s Cafe in Richmond.

B is for Balloon Adventures Bundle

January 5, 2017January 6, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 5 Comments

Welcome to my alphabet series showcasing some of the new products in the 2017 Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogs. Today I’m showcasing the Balloon Adventures Bundle which includes the Balloon Adventures Stamp Set and Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies. Check out this video as Brandi, from the Stampin’ Up! home office, shares so many awesome ideas and different ways to use the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies.

I can’t wait to make that shaker card! I love how these dies can cut, score, and emboss at the same time! And they coordinate with the Balloon Adventures Stamp set! What’s really great is you can purchase the set as a bundle and save 10%. The Bundle price is $53 which means you would qualify for a FREE Sale-A- Bration item with your purchase. Woo Hoo!

Here’s a card I made for my sister’s birthday back in December. I love the pocket on the inside to hold a gift card. You can click HERE to see the original post with all the details to make it.

Here are some more ideas using the Balloon Adventures Stamp Set and Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies. The first one I made during our Make & Takes at the On Stage convention I attended in Atlanta.

I love how you can make cards, tags, etc. with the stamps and dies in this bundle! And they coordinate with the Balloon Bouquet Punch in the annual catalog.

It’s getting cold out which means it’s time to “Bundle Up”! Click HERE to shop my online store and be sure to check out the Balloon Adventures Bundle. Don’t forget, you can choose a FREE Sale-A-Bration gift with any $50 purchase. (You can scroll down to see all the Free Sale-A-Bration gifts!) In addition, I always send a thank you gift when you purchase from me. Usually I send my gifts out at the end of the month; however, during my ABC series I am offering a different gift each day when you enter the Hostess Code EPGDT3KF online. Today I will send you the card kit to make the fun fold gift card holder card I made for my sister (pictured above). Here’s a picture of your card kit (below) with everything precut and ready for you to stamp and assemble.(*I stamped the balloons on the original card but am including die cut balloons so you can choose to do it either way.)
