Stampin' Up! Hey Birthday Chick

 

 Here is another 'Hey Birthday Chick' card!!!
It is sooo cute!!
This little chick just makes me smile!
Now who wouldn't want to get a birthday card like this!
I used the Foam Adhesive Sheets with the Happy Birthday Die, 
so that they were popped up!
This was super easy to do!
How did I do it?
I cut a piece of foam about 1 x 2", peeled the protective sheet off of one side
& stuck a piece of Terracotta Tile card stock over the top of it.
I then laid my die on top of this & ran it through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.
It worked great!
I just had to peel the protective sheet off of the back side & 
it was ready to stick onto my card front!
 I love the way this turned out!

This is what the images in the stamp set- 'Hey Birthday Chick'- #154464= $21.00
& coordinating dies- Birthday Chick Dies- #158200= $27.00 look like.
 Or buy them together as a bundle & save 10%-
#158631- Hey Birthday Chick= $43.00
I added a wobbly behind the chick- so he moves!
I popped up the Scalloped Square frame, using Foam Adhesive Strips.

Stampin' Up! Floating & Fluttering Butterfly fun fold card!

 Check out my fun fold butterfly card!!
I used the 'Floating & Fluttering' Bundle
on page 61 in the January- June (Spring) Mini Catalog.
 
I made this for on my Iowa Inkers Team Swap that I hosted last month.
I love fun folds!
And this one is a little different.
This is what it looks like when opened up.
 The front flips up & the bottom folds down.
Can you tell by the photo that I embossed the Basic Black card stock
with the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder?
It has butterflies & leaves onto it.
I thought it combined perfectly with butterfly for my card.
 The butterflies are all on one stamp set.
So I just cut a strip of Bumblebee card stock, inked up the butterfly I needed & stamp it. 
I then used the Fluttering Dies & cut out it out.
When I cut it, it didn't cut it completely out.
It looked like this.
So I took my Paper Snips & just fussy cut in the places that it was connected.
So when I got it all cut out I had a single/sold butterfly- 
like the one on my card front!
I added Wink of Stella over the top of the butterfly to make him sparkle!
 
Humm....I just love black & yellow butterflies!
This is a totally Susie card & I love the way it turned out!
 
Here are the measurements & the supplies that you can make this card too!

scored at 5 1/2" for the card base.
And I combined the 'Happy Thoughts' stamp set with it!
This is what these pieces turned into!!
