Stampin’ Up! Hey Chuck Birthday Card

I love making pretty, layered cards on a regular basis but every once in a while, you need to create a card that will make you and others smile! When I saw the Hey Chuck Bundle in the catalog I knew I had to have the set! This particular card is being dropped in the mail to a dear friend of mine. I hope it makes her laugh out loud!

I started off by cutting two Basic White panels and two mats in Real Red cardstock. On one of the white panels I blended Balmy Blue ink in for the sky and I used Pumpkin Pie ink to create what will be the glow of the sun. I stamped a number of images onto white cardstock including one of the chickens, a birthday cake and a fence. A variety of Stampin’ Blend markers were used to color in the images, and I used the coordinating dies from the Hey Chuck Dies set to cut the images out.

The sun image was cut from Lemon Lolly cardstock and I blended Pumpkin Pie ink over the sun’s rays. A circle was cut from Granny Apple Green cardstock using the Stylish Shapes Dies and I cut the circle in half (not quite half) using my paper trimmer. All of the components were arranged onto the ink blended panel and when I was satisfied with the placement, adhered the images to the panel. The chicken and sentiment label were adhered to the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The panel was then adhered to one of the Real Red mats and then adhered to the card front.

An additional sentiment was stamped on the second white panel along with one of the chicken images. the chicken was colored in using Lemon Lolly and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends. The panel was adhered to a Real Red mat and then adhered to the inside of the card.

One of the chickens was partially stamped onto the envelope front and I stamped the birthday cake image onto the envelope flap. Both images were colored in with Stampin’ Blends. Several Lemon Lolly Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems were added to the card front to finish off the card.

Are you still smiling? Me too! You can download, save and print a copy of the pdf tutorial for this card by clicking on the image below.
