Hello, welcome to my blog post, today.
First, to let you know: The Hey Chick and the Hey Birthday Chick Bundles (stamps+dies) are not going to be available after June 30. These are fun stamps to use in your paper crafting, so if you want them, don't wait too long. The Hey Birthday Chick stamps will be available in the Annual Catalog, as well as the coordinating set of dies. But unfortunately they have been "un-bundled" in the Annual Catalog, which means you have to purchase them separately. But get them by June 30 in the Bundle & save 10%. But the Hey Chick stamps and dies are both retiring after June 30.
Let me know if you have any questions about all that.
Next: Be sure to order any items on your 2021 Jan-June Mini Catalog Wish List before they are gone after June 30. Visit LAST CHANCE to shop.
Coming soon: July 1 will bring a sale of selected Designer Series Papers, discounted at 15%. Check back on that date for which selections are included (no, sorry, I, myself, don't know that info yet- we'll have to wait just a bit longer!).
Finally: Coming August 3 - a 2nd Sale-a-Bration catalog and the Holiday Mini Catalog! Stay tuned for more info as we get closer.
Now, on to my card for today.
Today I'm featuring the Hey Chick stamps & the Chick Dies - I love the chicken-wire die, which I used on this card. But the dies have so many other components: corn stalks, litlle ears of corn, chicken coop & of course the dies to cut the large chicken and other images in the stamp set, plus more - all together 19 dies!. See them all HERE.
Materials:
Start by getting all the pieces ready, before doing the assembly.

All finished!

One more "housekeeping" reminder: The 2021 Jan-June Mini Catalog will be retiring on June 30. There's still a little time to order products from this Catalog, but supplies are dwindling, so shop soon. Click HERE to go to my online store. Shop on Thursday, and get FREE shipping - what great timing for both these promotions.
On to today's card.
The stamp set and dies were introduced in the Mini Catalog, but did carry over as a Bundle in the current 2021-2022 Annual Catalog (Item #159516). Click SEASHELLS to see.
I also used the basket die from a new product, the dies called Seasonal Basket Dies (Item #155960). Or get the Bundle with Season's Blessings Stamp Set Item #155485, and save 10%. See the bundle by clicking BASKET.
Details for making the card
Card base: Crumb Cake card stock, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", score/fold at 4 1/4".
Layer of Espresso card stock: 5 3/8" x 4 1/8". Glue to the card base.
Basic White Card stock: 5 1/4" x 4". Sponge some Crumb Cake ink along the bottom edge in a "pouncing" motion to some sand-like texture.
Stamp & die cut the star fish, seashells, and sand dollar:
Die cut the basket from Basic White CS, then use the sponge to add Crumb Cake ink. I added slightly more ink in some areas on the basket to give a variety of color.
Stamp the sentiment directly onto the card front using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
Use Mini Glue Dots to adhere the shells and basket. Place the basket slightly tilted and have some of the seashells falling out of it.
Add a few of the Opal Rounds as you like.
I then adhered the image panel to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
.
Inside: Basic White CS 5 1/4" x 4", stamp a starfish using So Saffron ink. (I may be stamping a Happy Birthday inside if I decide to use this card for a friend's birthday, but I wanted to keep it more general for this post.)
That is all there is to it - I hope you like it.
Let me know if you have any questions or need a Demonstrator. I would love to help in any way I can. Remember the FREE SHIPPING on the 24th!
I appreciate you taking a look today; please come again soon!
Till the next time, take care....~JULIE ❤
The 2021 Jan-June Mini Catalog - just a week and a half left to order from this Mini. One of the fun Suites that you find there, retiring June 30, is Ice Cream Corner Suite. Now's the perfect time to create projects with the ice cream stamp images, cone, Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch, popsicles, sprinkles embellishments, wonderfully bright Designer Series Papers (DSP), etc. But note: Available only till 6/30/21 or while supplies last.
Want the Ice Cream products? Click SHOP to visit my online store.
I'm sharing a fun interactive card using this Ice Cram Corner Suite of products. The card uses the Give It A Whirl Dies from the Annual Catalog. This is one of my favorite dies to craft with. My card was inspired by Vy Tran's cards, and uses the Window Sheets (clear mylar sheets) Item #142314, for the wheel.
I'll take you through the steps I did to make this card. I have lots of pictures to share with you, so I hope you'll follow along.
Card Base & Die Cutting
Card base is Cinnamon Cider card stock, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", score & fold at 4 1/4". Using the Give It A Whirl Dies, cut 2 panels from Basic White CS.
Cut the top off one of the panels - make your cut 1/2" above the hole - that gives a larger bottom piece approximately 3 5/8".
Cut another panel using the die and a piece of the Ice Cream Corner DSP. Then also cut the top off of this panel. It's the bottom half of the DSP that will be glued to the same-size white panel in a step to come (not yet).
The inks I used are: Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green, Polished Pink, Bermuda Bay, and Soft Suede (for the "chocolate" scoop).
JUNE HOST CODE: XKSVWTQZ
Use host code when your purchase totals under $150 (before tax, shipping charges) and I'll send you a thank you card and small gift for shopping with me. If $150 and over - don't use the code, instead you will choose product from any current Catalog.
Thank you so much for taking a look today!
Till next time, take care! JULIE ❤
This fun flamingo is soon flying away!
We are nearing the end of June 2021 and that means the end of the 2021 January-June Mini Catalog. There's still time to order from the Last Chance list of Mini Catalog Items. To see what these products are, visit my online store by clicking HERE.
The Flamingo Dies are discounted 50%! If you love this product, get it soon, while supplies last. Although the Friendly Flamingo stamp set is NOT discounted, you'll want to get it too. NOTE: purchase the dies & stamp set with their separate Item Numbers, NOT the Bundle item. Since the dies are 50% off, this is a better way to get them.
#154313 Flamingo Dies $12.50
#154386 Friendly Flamingo stamp set $17.00
I used both the Dies and the Stamp Set to create two cards for you to see. Take a look!
Card #1
Card base: Flirty Flamingo card stock, 11" x 4 1/4", score & fold at 5 1/2". Using Flirty Flamingo Ink Pad and the small flower stamp from the stamp set, stamp off once on scrap paper, then stamp all over the card stock. This is very subtle, but I wanted to add something to the card background that didn't distract from the flamingo.
Using Scalloped Contours Dies (Annual Catalog), cut a piece of Basic White CS; glue to card front.
Stamp the foliage image two times using Granny Apply Green onto white CS; die cut; color in the flowers with Stampin' Blends (Pineapple Punch or other yellow & Petal Pink). Glue these cutouts across the diagonal corners of the scalloped piece.
Stamp the large flamingo using Flirty Flamingo ink onto white CS; die cut; adhere to scalloped piece using Stampin' Dimensionals.
Stamp the sentiment with black Memento ink onto Blushing Bride CS; trim this piece to a narrow banner & adhere to card, overlapping the large flamingo.
Add a Pastel Pearl Embellishment (in the Mini, but carried over to the Annual Catalog, too).
***********************************************************************
Card #2
On this card I used another Last Chance Product from the Mini Catalog: The Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper. Item #154288
Card base: Flirty Flamingo CS, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", score & fold at 4 1/4".
Sand & Sea DSP: 5 1/4" x 4". I used the ombre-like selection from the pack of DSP. I cut the piece so that I had the blue - as water - and the pink - as the sky/sunset. I used the yellow when I stamped the sentiment & punched a circle - to represent the sun.
Using Balmy Blue ink, stamp the water ripple image and the small grasses image onto the DSP.
Glue the DSP to a layer of Basic Black CS cut 5 3/8" x 4 1/8". Wait before adhering it to the Flirty Flamingo CS card base. You'll wrap some trim around it first -
From Blushing Bride CS, die cut the 3 smaller flamingos. Glue them to the card front.
Stamp the large flamingo using Flirty Flamingo ink onto Blushing Bride CS; die cut out; adhere to card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Stamp the sentiment in black into onto the Sand & Sun DSP in the yellow area; punch with a circle punch; glue it to the card front.
Some embellishing:
Now, add more Dimensionals to the back of the black panel, and adhere to the card base.
*************************************************************************
I hope you are inspired by these cards - just a couple of ways to use the Friendly Flamingo Stamps & Dies. Do you have a favorite?
If you have any questions, I would be happy to help in any way I can. If you are looking for a Demonstrator, let me know that too. I'd love to be yours!

This card style is called a Split Front card, and was inspired by Meg Loven. It's a layout I'm sure you'll use again and again.
For this card, I used many items from the Pansy Petals Suite of products which you can find in the current Annual Catalog. The large pansy & leaves on the front were die-cut from Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper - no stamping needed. I did stamp the sentiment. It's from the Biggest Wish stamp set. The "HELLO" is in Evening Evergreen ink and the "happy" in Soft Succulent ink. This piece was cut out using Layering Ovals Dies (discontinued), but you could use Painted Labels Dies (see 2nd card at end of blog), or any label die you have.
Here is the Painted Labels Die version, with slightly different sentiment, also:
The paper measurements and details are as follows.
Card Base: Bumblebee card stock, 7 1/4" x 5 1/2", score & fold at 4 1/4".
Designer Series Paper: First cut a piece 4" x 5 1/4". Then cut it so you have the larger piece 2 3/4" wide (i.e. 2 3/4" x 5 1/4"). The smaller piece will be 1 1/4" x 5 1/4".
Adhere the DSP to the large front panel, and the edge of what will be the inside panel.
Using the Pansy Dies and the Pansy Petals DSP, die-cut the larges pansy and 3 leaves. Very nice that the dies fit the images on the DSP! Cut a strip of contrasting DSP 1" x 4 3/8", then cut a "V" off one end.
Stamp the sentiment from Biggest Wish stamp set onto Basic White CS - the "hello" in Soft Succulent ink, the "happy", or "friend", in Evening Evergreen ink.
Die cut the sentiment piece using oval or any label shape that fits. Cut it out in a way that has the words off center to the right of the oval shape. This will leave space on the left to overlap the large pansy.
Assemble:
Inside of card:
Cut a piece of Basic White CS, 4" x 2 3/4"; glue inside the card. Glue the smaller die-cut pansy in the corner.
Here is the other version, using the Painted Labels Die and "Hello friend" as the sentiment.
I hope you will try using the Split-Front card format. Such a great way to show off the beautiful Designer Series Papers!
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you found some inspiration, today.
Till the next post - take care & happy crafting!! ~JULIE ❤
Hello readers, Please note: I have retired from Stampin' Up!® - I am no longer an Independent Demonstrator. It's been a great run...
