Hey Birthday Balloons

Have you added 'Hey Birthday Chick" to your craft shelf? I guess its one of those sets you either love or hate, but the chicks are pretty cute, and I do have a grandson who writes adventure stories about Master Chicken! LOL! I think this just might be his next birthday card.


It originally came out in the January to June Mini catalogue, and a little later we were surprised by dies being introduced, along with Hey Chick, which was a 2017 SALE-A-Bration stamp set, and that has a set of dies too. I'll add them at the end so you can take a look at them in my shop, and decide if they're for you. They will only be available until the end of the mini - June 30th.


No dies were used on this card though, just a little fussy-cutting of balloons. The chicken was masked to keep her white while the background was blended, and I decided to grunge the card a little by placing the textured card on an angle, roughing one edge and curling a corner. 

This design has been inspired from a tutorial from Susan Wong in New Zealand on the @craftycarrotco group with a few small alterations. I've purchased a subscription to increase my use of the stamp sets I have invested in.

It's always nice to decorate the inside of the card too.

Cute Fancy Fold

It has been such a wet day today I've spent some time watching Crafty Carrot Collective free birthday tutorials. Krista Frattin shared a cute little fun fold - easy peasy - using the Sweet Strawberry bundle and I thought it would be fun to CASE, using Wrapped Bouquet.


Wrapped Bouquet has a great stamp for backgrounds, it looks like the columns from a newspaper. That stamp was one of the main reasons I put this bundle on my first order from the January- June mini catalogue. I used Versamark, white embossing powder and a heat gun for this step.


Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper has some lovely, subtle 'b' sides to the paper, and I used a strip of one of those. Rococco Rose ink using the new blending brushes has been blended over the heat embossing. 


The stamped image was diecut before colouring with a variety of Stampin' Blends. A few die cut leaves were added in the background, along with a strip of Fine Art Ribbon.


Artistry Blooms sequins add a pretty splash of colour too. I made a 20 minute video too.


 CARD RECIPE:

Cut a piece of Shimmery White card 25 cm by 14.5 cm.
Score at 10.8cm from the left, and using the mark to the right of the cutting track, score 3 cm from the right.
Cut DSP 14.3 cm by 2.8cm and adhere to the outside of the flap.
