Beth's Paper Cuts: Hey Chick and Hey Birthday Chick bundles

I spent a bunch of time over the past couple days playing with the Hey Chick and Hey Birthday Chick bundles. I intended to make a couple of cards and then move on to something else, but I just kept going and going and before I knew it, I had almost a dozen cards made. This is seriously a fun bunch of stamps and dies.

Do you recognize those silly chickens? The first stamp set was released in the 2017 Sale-a-Bration catalog. The first Hey Chick stamp set was free with a $50 purchase. It was so popular, Stampin' Up! brought it back and gave it dies and a whole second stamp and die set to go with it! Below are my cards from the Hey Chick and Hey Birthday Chick sets.

This card uses Watercolor Pencils to color in the chicks. I hadn't used them in awhile and it was fun to get them out and use them.

Card Base is Bumblebee and the patterned paper is from the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper Pack.

This little cupcake eating chicken was also colored in with the watercolor pencils.

I used patterned paper from the Brights 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper pack. The Velum layer was first run through die cut machine with the Stitched With Whimsy dies to give it that sewed frame look.

This card also features a velum layer that was run through with the Stitched with Whimsy dies. I wish you could see it in person because the stitching really looks nice around the edges.

To color the Happy Birthday die, I used watercolor pencils on a piece of Basic White and then cut it out with the die.

Card base is Calypso Coral. Sequins are from the Artistry Blooms Suite.

For this card I wanted to see if I could make a card using the Birthday Chick dies but no actual chickens.

The patterned paper is from the Playing with Patterns 6x6 pack. The accent dots are also from the Playing with Patterns suite.

Card Base is Night of Navy. The Scalloped rectangle is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies.

This time I was looking at the dies and the little eggs screamed Easter to me, so I thought I would try an Easter Card.

Background Paper is once again from the Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper.

Eggs are cut from Coastal Cabana. Nest is made from Linen Thread. Little chick was cut from Bumble Bee cardstock. Circles were cut with the Layering Circles dies.

The Easter Blessings sentiment stamp comes from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set.

This next card is set on a base covered in paper from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper pack. I love the wood planks. I used the Watercolor Pencils to create the background. I also used them to color the chicken. To color the fence and Corn stalk, I used Watercolor Pencils and colored areas of color onto Basic White, then cut out the die shapes with the colored paper.

I colored this silly chicken with Stampin' Blends in Mango Melody and Pumpkin Pie. The card also uses Granny Apple Green, Pool Party and Bumble Bee.

I copied this card right off the flyer. In love that cute little just hatched chickie.

This card has a base in Calypso Coral and Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper.

Here are those adorable little eggs and hatch-lings, this time on a square card. The base is 4 1/4 by 4 1/4.

I decided to try my hand at copying the Slim Line card from the flyer as well. The base is 8 1/5 by 6. folded in half at 3 inches. It was a fun card to make. I used Stampin' Up! watercolor pencils once again to color the chickens.

This is a super fast and easy background made with just a few strips of Misty Moonlight cardstock. The chicken was colored with Mango Melody Stampin' Blends.

Can you belive yet anothe chicken card. I wasn't kidding when I said I used it all day!

This one is colored with Blender Pens using ink from the lids of the ink pads. Using Blender pens gives a softer look than markers.

This card has a base in Soft Sea Foam. The Gingham ribbon is one of my favorites, it is in Just Jade and is from the Flowers for Every Season ribbon combo pack.

This is the last card. Not the last one I made but the last one I am posting. I seem to have forgotten to take a picture of the other two so I will post about them later. This one is based on the original flyer from the 2017 Sale-a-Bration catalog.

This close up shows the little spots I made with the Color Lifter Stampin' Blend.

Here is a video showing the sets and dies in detail, as well as Step by step how to color with these chickens with the Stampin' Blends, specifically the Color Lifter.
