As I start out with Stampin' Up, I really need to have a lot of Thank You's available to be ready to give out to all those who help me get going! You'll see quite a few of these coming up.
The Hey Chick Stamp and Die Set was my very first new set I got with my Starter Kit! When I saw these I knew what I had to do...sign up because what could be cuter? Well, maybe gnomes but come on...CHICKENS!
So here's a quick and fun little card that uses my new stamps and some of the FREE paper I received to start out as well.
Hey Chick Super Fun and Easy Thank You Card
White 3 1/2" x 5" card
Designer Series Paper rectangle cut to 3 1/4" x 4 3/4"
2 DSP contrasting strips (I used a much brighter color than my background) cut to 2 3/4" x 1 and the second 4 1/2" x 1
DSP 3rd contrasting color strip cut to 2 1/2" x 1 1/2" (I stamped "Thank You" on this with a stamp from the Sweet Ice Cream Set with Bumblebee Stamp Pad)
Plain matching card stock cut to 2 1/2" x 1 1/2" to stamp chicken on (I used a light lilac)
Use adhesive tape to first tape down largest rectangle, then make a T with the 2 contrasting strips in the middle of the card. The strip that is stamped will go over the long part of the T in the middle of the card.
Stamp the chicken on the lighter plain strip. I cut the corners off for a different look and colored my chicken in with colored pencils. The stamp was done with Black Ink. I used my markers to make a long dash dot pattern around the border. Once finished I used a dimensional adhesive to place the chick on the left side of the card.
You can leave the inside blank if you wish. I used another strip of DSP paper measuring 3 3/4" x 1" to stamp the egg with feet and the "you're a good egg" sentiment on this and used my adhesive tape to put lengthwise inside the card with another plain piece of cardstock cut to 2" x 3" and taped that over the DSP. I had used colored pencils on the egg to color the feet and shade the egg. I finished it all off with 4 rhinestones in each corner of this piece. The sentiment was stamped with black ink.
A very quick and fun project to try out new stamps!
Enjoy!
