Hey Chic! Returns For More Fun Stamping

Who remembers the fun stamp set from 2017 - HEY CHIC? 

 
Great news - this cute and funny set is coming back next month and there are a few extra bonuses this time in the form of another coordinating stamp set - HEY BIRTHDAY CHIC and a set of coordinating dies for each of the 2 stamp sets. See the details and prices below.

 

You'll want to get the bundles to save time on fussy cutting and if you plan your orders you can get Free Sale A Bration products at the same time during February. Simply add some card stock, embellishments etc to bring your order up to $90 (not including postage) and choose a FREE  Sale A Bration gift. 

 I really enjoyed this set last time it was released and will definitely be purchasing it again. I'm excited to use the images with a variety of techniques, and create backgrounds with the dies and Stampin' Up's new Blending Brushes 

 

 

I have a link to my 2017 post showing some techniques that you might like to try.

Tips for Masking Images Stamped Onto Cards

I've just done another video and I'm feeling a little better about it. This time the topic is Masking Tips to use when you want to place one image in front of another without creating a mess!

Here is the finished card.

These chics are so cute and although this is a Sale-A-Bration set and no longer available to purchase, you can use the theory behind the masking on all types of images.

I made a mask for the chic in the centre - 1. because that is the easiest of the 3 shapes to cut out and 

2. because I pre-determined which way I wanted the chooks to be facing. 

I have a video of the method I used in the masking: take a look to see my hints on how to achieve perfect masking.

but I also wanted to show you some more of the painting and the finished card.

Adding a bit of colour makes a big difference to the effect, and for this chook I've used an Aqua Painter and blended Crushed Curry with Pumpkin Pie to create the shadows. 

Lots of lovely colours to brighten up the look of the chickens, and using the darker colours on the two outside birds makes the centre one really stand out. You can see some of the hand drawn details at the bottom of this photo - I used a Black Stampin' Write Marker to sketch these in.

Do you like what you see and think you'd like to earn some extra income from stamping?  

If you are looking for a hobby, a part or full time job, working from home and at your own pace, AND you love craft, then you should consider doing what I do. It is fun and rewarding.

  See more information on my website or contact me with questions you may have. 

 Until next time

Happy Stamping! 

Hey Chic Happy Easter

We had lots of fun at Tuesday craft group today, playing with the Hey Chic stamp set from Stampin' Up! and creating cute little Easter Gifts. 

I wasn't going to get the little egg cartons from the Occasions Catalogue, but decided at the last minute they would be a fun 3-D item to create with my daytime classes. I've been wanting to work with the Hey Chic stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue (yes it's free!) since I first saw it, and I have to say it really was so much fun. 

I love colouring - we stamped this image on Thick White Card stock, using Archival Black Ink. I then coloured the image with an Aqua Painter and 3 Classic Inks: Crushed Curry, Pacific Point and Cherry Cobbler. Very quick and very easy.

I used the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch for the top of the tag  and threaded 3 colours of retired Seam Binding through the opening. This was tied with Gold Cord. 

We created a Belly Band with papers from a Designer Series Paper Stack and attached the tag with a single dimensional. The chick was given some highlights with the Clear Wink of Stella and a few gold sequins were dotted directly onto the tag and the Egg Carton. 

This was so quick to make that the ladies had time to create a card of their own design using more stamps from the Hey Chic set. Some wonderful, creative cards resulted. 

Just a quick post today,

Hope you enjoyed it and Happy Crafting until next time.
