Project Recipe
Start with a Soft Suede cs card base. Cut a Real Red cs panel and In Good Taste DSP panel. Dry emboss the Real Red cs panel with the Pinewood Planks 3D embossing folder. Use the edge of your paper snips to distress the edges of both panels. Glue the panels to the card base slightly off center.
Die cut two Vellum cs trees with the In The Woods dies. Glue the trees to the left side of the card front. Die cut two pieces of Basic Gray cs wire fence with the Chick Dies. Use your paper snips to cut down the pieces so they measure 4" together and then glue them across the In Good Taste DSP, the Vellum trees, and go to the edges of the Embossed Real Red cs panel. Die cut two Soft Suede cs picket fence pieces with the Happy Birthday Chick dies. Use your paper snips to cut down the pieces so they measure 4" and then glue them across the In Good Taste DSP and go to the edges of the Embossed Real Red cs panel slightly overlapping the Basic Gray cs wire fence.
Stamp the chicken from the Hey Chick stamp set in Memento Black ink on Basic White cs. Color the chicken with the Stampin' Blends. Die cut out the colored chicken with the Chick Dies. Use Stampin' Dimensionals to add the chicken to the bottom left of the card front overlapping the fences and trees. Add Wink of Stella to the chicken's head and tail feathers for sparkle.
Die cut a Real Red cs sentiment from the Birthday Chick dies and glue it to a piece of Basic White cs. Use your paper snips to trim around the sentiment and then use Stampin' Dimensionals to add them to the bottom right of the card front overlapping the Soft Suede cs picket fence. Add Wonderful Gems (retired - substitute with Red Rhinestone Jewels) to the card front.
Don't forget to add a Basic White cs inside panel to write your message. Use the edge of the paper snips to distress the edges of the panel. Stamp the sentiment from the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set in Memento Black ink. Stamp the chicken from the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set in Memento Black ink. Color images with the Stampin' Blends and add Wink of Stella to the head & tails for sparkle. I also added an embossed Real Red cs strip to the back of the card to pull the theme through.
