Today, I want to share another card using the Hey Birthday Chick Bundle.  The images are so cute!  I hope you'll agree.  And I'll throw in lots of hearts, as our thoughts turn towards Valentines.

Let's get started!  

Here's a closer look:

You'll see on this card I used the cute dancing chicken from the Hey Birthday Chicks stamp set; at least I think she's dancing, or maybe just jumping for joy.  After stamping her, she's die-cut with the coordinating Birthday Chick Dies.  The striking black-and-white floral background designer series paper is from the 2021 JJ Mini Catalog and comes in the True Love Designer Series Paper 12" x 12"pack (item 154281).  The hearts, large & small, and vine of hearts are dies from Many Hearts Dies (154308); the sentiment is from the set Lots of Heart (154348) - get both the stamps + the dies as a Bundle, and save 10% -  Lots of Heart Bundle (stamp set + dies) - Bundle Item 156202.   

Measurements & details for making this card:

• Card base:  Rococo Rose card stock, 11" x 4 1/4", fold in half (at 5 1/2").
• Layer of DSP:  True Love DSP, 4 1/4" x 4 1/4".
• White card stock:  approximately 3/4" x 3 1/4" strip to stamp sentiment and a piece to stamp the chicken image.
• Large Hearts:  Rococo Rose and Blushing Bride card stock; die-cut with Many Hearts Dies
• Small hearts & vine of hearts:  Black card stock, die-cut with Many Hearts Dies.
• Stamp sets:  Hey Birthday Chick (chicken image) and Lots of Hearts (for the sentiment).
• Inks:  Memento Tuxedo Black and Stampin' Blends Combo Pack (Smoky Slate, Rococo).

Steps to make the card:

• Die cut out the hearts (large & small) from Rococo Rose & Blushing Bride card stock;  die cut the heart-vine from Basic Black CS.
• Stamp the chicken in black ink onto white card stock; die cut; color with Stampin' Blends (smoky slate, rococo rose).
• Stamp the sentiment with black ink onto strip of white card stock; cut a flag end (optional).
• Assemble:
• Glue the heart-vine to the bottom edge of card base.
• Glue the DSP above the heart-vine.
• Glue the sentiment piece.
• Overlap the two larger hearts and adhere to card front using Stampin' Dimensionals.
• Glue the chicken image onto of the large hearts (or pop her up with Dimensionals).
• Glue smaller hearts as desired (die cut from black & rococo rose CS using die from Lots of Hearts that cuts multiple small hearts all at once - see picture above). 
• Add embellishments (optional) to one of the larger hearts.  I used the Matte Black Dots (154284).  These Dots, along with the DSP, can be ordered as part of the Love You Always Suite of products (155977).

And there it is!
