Hey Chick is back! Yes, the fun and quirky little stamp set from 2017 is back along with a coordinating die set! So today I have 3 quirky but adorable card ideas to share which showcase the new die cuts and this fun little stamp set. You might have noticed that the Stampin’ Up! mini catalog has a stamp set called Hey Birthday Chick. Well, the images build upon the 2017 version. Both are fun to play with and the card ideas I have to share can be used with either set!
Hey Chick Cards
The first two cards I have to share with you feature a fun and simple circle technique. And the best part is, you can create two cards with this technique. This technique will work with just about any shape. The concept is simple. Cut out the shape from a piece of 5-1/4 x 4 inch white cardstock. Use the circle shape for one card and the “negative” space for the other card.
The first card showcases use of the “negative” space. A piece of patterned paper is adhered behind the white cardstock so that it shows through the circle. The second card features the use of the circle shape which was cut from white cardstock on the first card. Any time you are cutting out a circle (or any other shape) look for ways to use that “negative” space to create another card.
Hey Birthday Chick Cards
The last Hey Chick card I have to share features a design I have used before. Yes, you can re-use your card designs with other supplies you have on hand. You probably wouldn’t have know I use it before because it looks different every time. Just take a look at the card on left and compare it to the card on the right (the one with the balloon. It’s the same card design, just a different stamp set and supplies.
As you can see, I had a blast creating cards with the Hey Chick and the Hey Birthday Chick bundles. The coordinating dies are available separately, so if you have either of these stamp sets, you can just grab the new dies. If you do not have either of these stamp sets, you can get them in a bundle!
