Chirp! You Crack Me Up!

03/11/2025

This playful spring card features products from the Simon Says Stamp “Favorite Things” release! 🐣 I used Copic markers to color the adorable chick, adding shading for extra fluff and dimension. The semi-circle die helped create a clean window opening, giving the chick a fun little space to peek through! Behind the window, I added a soft blue ink-blended background with embossed hearts for texture. The speech bubble and sentiment tie everything together for a lighthearted, cheerful design.

Salvaged Heart

🎨✨ Fun artistic technique! ✨🎨
I tried something new with this card design using the @teamspellbinders Stamp & Die of the Month and Embossing Folder of the Month—and I love the results! 💛

For the colorful background, I scribbled Tim Holtz Watercolor Pencils directly onto the embossing folder, spritzed some watercolor paper with water, and ran it through my die-cutting machine. The result? A artistically blended, textured design with an organic watercolor effect! 🎨🌸

I kept the rest of the card simple to let the background shine—just a dimensional heart, a little twine, and a crisp sentiment to finish it off. Sometimes, trying a new technique leads to the best surprises!

How cute is this little piggy from the new @teamspellbinders On The Farm collection?

I had so much fun creating this playful barnyard scene—complete with rolling hills, a muddy patch, and my little piggy with gray spots for extra personality! 🐽✨

Information on the supplies I used and how I made this card are waiting for you on my blog!
