Hey, Chick DAY 7 – TWO CARDS!

Happy Valentine’s Day! 

Yes, two cards today.  The first one combines adding color with sponges and blending brushes, as well as coloring/shading with the Blends.  Okay, so the first card is for an avid stampers, it might also have masking on it. (it does!)  The easiest way to see how to make the card is to watch the video, really it will show everything.

Card number two was for Valentine’s Day for you.  Hope your day was great!

Hey, Chick Day 7

Set:  Hey, Chick #158627; Hey, Birthday Chick #158631

Inks: Memento Black #132708; Balmy Blue #147105; Pear Pizzazz #147104

Poppy Parade card stock: 8 1/2? x 5 1/2? scored at 4

Basic White card stock: 4″ x 4 1/4″; 5″ x 4″; 5 1/4″ x 4″ (inside)

Ice Cream Corner DSP: 4″ x 1 1/2″

On the copy paper stamp each of the Chick’s and cut out with dies. These will be used for masking.

Stamp the Middle Chick with Balloon, the Poppy Parade hair Chick and the baby Chick using Memento Black ink on the 5″ x 4″ Basic White card stock.  Let them sit and dry for a couple of minutes then color them with blends and cut out with dies.  I only used Wink of Stella on the Poppy Parade hair Chick – she had to have the most bling!

CHECK YOUR PIECE OF CARD STOCK! You get really mad at yourself if you have the card stock the wrong direction or the wrong size….yes, I would know this for experience x3!  You will be building all your Chicks on the 4″ x 4 1/2″ Basic White card stock – with the 4 1/2″ going top to bottom.  Sponge the bottom of the Basic White with Pear Pizzazz ink using a sponge. Set your paper Chick’s, not your card stock Chicks, where you want them on the Basic White card stock.  Hold them in place with the Washi or painters tape.  Using the Blending brushes with the Balmy Blue ink color the sky on the Basic White card stock.

***NOTE*** The dies cut the Chicks out with an edge around them, you can cut the edge off before doing the background or you can wait and use blends to cover up the white space.

Take off the masks – it is fine if you did not do it perfect, it is homemade with love!  With Memento Black ink Stamp the Yellow Chick and the Bermuda Bay Chick on the Basic White card stock front you just created.  Color your Chick with the blends.

Using the Blending brush you can color the edges of the Chick’s you have colored and cut out of the Basic White card stock.  Cut the Poppy Parade Chick to fit right to the Chick under her, adhere with green glue.  Adhere the Chick with the balloon and the baby Chick with green glue to the card front.

Now is when you will use the Balmy Blue and Pear Pizzazz blends to color in any white space next to the Chicks you want colored.

Adhere the colored Chicks to the top front of the Poppy Parade card base and the Ice Cream Corner DSP to the bottom, using green glue.

Stamp saying using Memento Black ink and cut out with die.  Adhere to card front with green glue.

If you have any questions watch the video or contact me.

Awesome Job!   You did it!

Hey, Chick Day 6

Let’s Celebrate You!

Totally not my usual style, a CASE (Copy And Share Everything) of Stampin’UP! Square Card.  Their card had a circle, but I did not have any envelopes for a square card, so I made this a regular card and used an oval instead.  That is how you CASE a card and make it yours.  All these Chick’s are very excited about their first birthday!  The Hey, Birthday Chick’s came from the egg in Hey, Chick.

Yes, it is only a little over a week until Christmas.  I made almost 50 Christmas cards this weekend.  A bit late, but done!

You may start receiving your Spring Mini Catalogs and SAB Catalogs in the mail.  SAB is only from January 4th – FEB. 28th.  Yes, only two months this year.  But an awesome special for those who want to save money – join my friends and I and you can buy just for you and get 200 sheets of DSP FREE!  Yes, there is other items that go with it, I am just such a DSP person I would not be able to resist this!

For those of you who have been following me, yes, the nativity was put up – thanks Kim (picture below) and I finished cooking down apples for applesauce.  Who knew you could not fill the pot to the top with apples and water then heat to boiling? (Not me or Katie!)  Oh, yes, there was a bit of sugar in there too.  Oh, yes, it did boil over, all over, ALL OVER the stove.  But, I am thankful I had another pan to divide the apples into, and even better, it is done!

I still have some of those $50.00 boxes (check out Sept. 22nd post, no I could not figure out how to link it…) with over $150 to $200 worth of product in them for sale as well as gift certificates if you need to let someone know what YOU want for Christmas!

Double Fan Fold Card Face Book Video Re-do!!

This is the card we made on Tuesday night at 7:00pm on Face Book Live.  The internet was terrible… really.  So I went in after and made a video on Vimeo which is below.  Also below are the products used and the measurement.  I am sorry it took me an extra day… if you have Apple computer you know why.  For those of you not running Apples – they did an upgrade and all pictures now come up as HEIC not JPEG!!! WHAT!!  Yes, I am sure they told me on page 387 of whatever I said accept to get the upgrade.  Now I have to figure out how to change all my pictures back to JPEG so I can use them.  Okay – enough about computers – we love them.

I first saw a card made like this on a SU wed site for demo’s.  It was done in Brightly Gleaming DSP using Copper Foil.  It was awesome.  Since we had our first snow I of course used snow!

This is the card laid out as flat as I could get it so you can kinda see how the sides work and what I was talking about on the video about keeping the snowflakes matched.  IRL this is very sparkly and the snow flake on the front and the gems  sparkle even more.  You can purchase all the items I used at my online store here.

Here is the card standing up.  Really cool that it does that so nicely.  You can see the bling a bit better on this view.

Here is the video with NO pauses!     Share one you made on here, or let me know how you liked the card.

Set: Merry Moose

Dies:  So Many Snowflakes; Stitched So Sweetly

C/S:  Pacific Point; Snowflake Splendor DSP; Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper

Ink: Pacific Point

Other:  Blue Adhesive Blacked Gems.

Card base (mine is Pacific Point) is 7 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 1 1/4; 2 1/2; 5; 6 1/4  Next diagonally score from top left corner to bottom of 2 1/2 and then score top 2 1/2 score to bottom left corner.  Repeat the diagonally scores on the other end. (the video really helps here!

The foil/glimmer sheets (mine was Balmy Blue) cut 5 1/4 x 2 1/4 (middle piece) also cut 2 pieces at 5 x 2 1/4 (side pieces you will cut up)

DSP (mine was Snowflake Splendor) cut 5 x 2; also cut 2 pieces of 4 3/4 x 2 (side pieces to go on foil/glimmer paper)

I used Green Glue to adhere everything except the saying is up on dimensionals.  Remember with Green Glue a little goes a LONG way and just dot it on the small ends.  You can purchase everything to make this card or one like it with your chose of paper at my online store here.   There is still a sale on DSP!  check it out on my store.  Any questions, call me at 608-576-3198.

NOW go back and watch the video again and the scores, cuts and DSP will make sense.

15% SALE & BOXES!

Stampin’UP! is having a 24 Hour sale!

Click here to see the list of stamps from the Annual catalog!  The host code to use is: FZCWFNYC.  Any orders of $100.00 will get a free box!

Boxes!  Boxes!  Boxes!  What are you talking about?!?  Well, as part of downsizing we have been working for a few weeks to put together boxes of retired items for you to buy (or get free with a $100.00 order from my online store HERE).  These boxes are $50.00 plus shipping and they have $150-$200.00 worth of products in them.  There are a few Christmas/Holiday ones, 5 InColor Boxes and the rest are a mix of things, Every box will be different but with similar items to the photos below.  The products are as is.  Some products have never been used and other have been used. 

I tried to match bundles together.  Like if I had a stamp set and die that went together they are in the box together.  I did not always have both.  If I had DSP that match or embellishments they are included in the box… see why it took weeks.  Below are a couple of pictures to show you what is in a box.

This is a Christmas box.  you can see it has stamps, you can’t see the two die under the wreaths, embossing folder that matched and the DSP.

This is a general box.  You can see I had the DSP, ribbon, stamp set and dies all for Animal Outings.  I also had the Little Ladybugs stamp and dies (was going to use them for Bingo…and Covid happened!).  There is an additional Tea set and dies. I think there are two more stamp set as well as various embellishments, embossing folder, and ink pad.

Another General box, with DSP, stamp set, dies, embellishments, ink pads.  The embellishments often have more than what came in the container as I would combine all my like embellishments together.

This a look (with my messy kitchen cropped out) of part of one of the many tables set up to make sure each box was filled to the top!

Check out the 24 Hour sale and order boxes!  These boxes will be great fun to open.  Just email me:  wmc@crazysustampers.com  that you want a box and I will sent you a paypal link.
