Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you received something pretty pink or red! Sweets maybe? Did you send a Valentine to someone special? With all of the Valentine's I've shared over the past few weeks, I was able to send out 46+ Valentine's cards to family and friends. All the wonderful Stampin' Up! supplies enabled me to make such a great variety of cards this season. I still have some of the beautiful Love You Always foil Designer Series Paper and Foil sheets left to get a heads start on next year so I can send out even more! I may set a goal to make enough for my mom's community!
It was a great weekend to stay inside bundled up and spend some time at the crafting table. This cold front is mighty powerful - 3 days in a row that we have had below 0 temperatures here in Frederick, CO. The high today was 3° and -8° right now. With the wind chill it' -18° - WHAT? Glad to have some great fun with my Hey Birthday Chick and Hey Chick Bundles. The True Love Designer Series Paper coordinated with Real Red and Basic Black cardstock made some great Black/Red/White Chicks for birthday and hello cards. Which one is your favorite?
I think my favorite is this last one, kicking his heels up! Instructions to make this care are as follows:
- Cut Basic White Thick Cardstock at 4 1/4" x 11, score at 5 1/2"
- Cut Real Red Cardstock at 5 3/8" x 4 1/8". Adhere onto the Basic White card front.
- Cut small floral print from the True Love Designer Series Paper at 3 3/4" x 5". Adhere onto the card front.
- Cut Real Red at 2 3/4" x 3".
- Cut Basic Black at 2 1/2" X 2 3/4". Adhere to the Real Red cardstock. Adhere to card front about 3/8" - 1/2" from the top of the floral DSP with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Cut Basic Black at 1/2" x 2". Stamp Happy Birthday sentiment with Versa Mark. Sprinkle with White Embossing Powder. Use Heat Tool and heat the embossing powder until it begins to "shine. Adhere under the Red/Black frame with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Cut Basic Black at 1/4" x 3 3/4". Adhere 1/4" above the bottom of the Black Floral DSP with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Embellish with 3 Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
- Cut Basic White Cardstock at 2 1/4" x 2 3/4". Stamp the Dancing Chick from the Hey Birthday Chick Stamp Set with Black Tuxedo Memento Ink. Color the Chick's comb and wattle with Real Red Stampin' Write Marker. Color the Chick's beak with Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Write Marker. Adhere to the Red/Black Frame with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- For the Inside sentiment, stamp "let's celebrate you" with Black Tuxedo Memento Black Ink centered inside the card. Stamp confetti in Real Red Classic Stampin' Pad in the lower right corner.
