Amazing WOW projects with Hey Chuck; Part 2


Each month one of my Flowerbug's Team is featured as an Artist of the Month.  For July Annette chose the adorable Hey Chuck bundle seen here.  I know you'll be amazed at her fabulous projects I'll be sharing. 

First up today is a stunning framed sampler.  

Just look at her incredible scenes!  I think the bit of blue behind each image sets them off incredibly. 

Sampler details:

  • She used Azure Afternoon ink and blending brushes to add a bit of blue behind her die-cut rooster scenes. 
  • The designer paper behind it all is the Masterfully Made designer series paper seen here. 
  • She colored the images with Blends markers and popped them up on the squares. 
  • Her 4 white squares measure 2 5/8", colored squares are 2 3/4" and the black are 2 7/8" squares 
  • The black frame is 9" in size; the glass opening is 7 1/2" 

Here's the Hey Chuck bundle she used.  The dies are back now and available!

Look at this hilarious rooster!  And the perfect greeting for him….. 


She used the Dots & Spots die for her background and that strip of the Masterfully Made DSP is a perfect addition to this card and her color choices. The white on white theme makes the image pop! 

The dimension she achieved by popping up the rooster and the greeting with Dimensionals makes such a difference to this card.  

Details:

  • Dots & Spots white layers are 5" X 3 3/4", Pumpkin Pie layer is 5 1/8" X 3 7/8"
  • Stitched circle is from the Stylish Shapes dies
  • DSP strip is 4" X 1"

Next is a fun fold card featuring the Glorious Gingham designer paper.  


She got the idea from Karen Titus.  The DSP is 6" square and you score and cut it to fold in on itself.  Here's what it looks like when it's closed up: 


I'll be sharing how to make one of these cards very soon!  


More to come tomorrow!

  • Clean & Simple Blog Hop; Pretty Pop-Up dies


    Welcome to the Control Freak's May blog hop!  The theme is Clean & Simple projects. 

    You may have just arrived or hopped over from Wendy's blog.  I'm sure you loved her unique projects. 

    For some reason when I think of clean & simple I lean towards mostly white projects.  I've been wanting to play with my new Pretty Pop-Up dies so here is what I came up with for my first project: 

    It's almost all white; just a few accents of Balmy Blue & Petal Pink.  These Pretty Pop-Up dies do not cut all of the way through; they provide detailed texture and a 'peak' behind the die-cuts.  

    I added a bit of color to some of the flowers and butterflies with Balmy Blue & Petal Pink light blends markers.  To get them to pop up a bit I pushed each die-cut outward with my Take Your Pick tool.  I adhered this 4" X 5 1/4" piece to a smaller piece of Balmy Blue card stock using mini dimensionals.  

    The greeting is from the Nature's Thoughts stamp set and on a die-cut from the Natural Prints dies.  I added a 1/4" strip behind this to bring in a bit of Balmy Blue. This card might not be considered true clean & simple but it does only have a few layers!  Ha!

    I stuck with the Balmy Blue & White them for my second card but added a bit of Gray Granite with the Abigail Rose designer paper. 

    I used the smaller oval die for this card and used one of the single dies for the White butterfly.  

    The greeting is stamped on a circle die from the Picture This dies and is from the Nature's Thoughts stamp set as well. There is a piece of Vellum card stock behind the Balmy Blue layer. 

    You can see some of the dies I used in the photo below: 

    Thank you so much for stopping in today; I hope you enjoyed seeing these Pretty Pop-Up die projects!  

    I hope you'll stick with the 'hop' to see all of the projects!  Click here to see Melissa's projects or on the icon below.

  • Sending Smiles card; a fabulous & versatile bundle with video


    I made a bunch of these cards for a swap in April and also demonstrated it on FB Live last Tuesday here.  

    I LOVE the colors of Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis together.  This new lime color of Parakeet Party brightens up our color line and it works with blues & purples beautifully! 

    The Sending Smiles bundle seen here is wonderful and was #1 on my list of 'must have's'.

    I made three projects on last week's Facebook Live using this fabulous bundle.  See it here. 

    I love the fact that they provided two sizes of the die-cut 'Sending'.  The larger one fits under the finer die-cut like seen on the card below.  But it also fits the stamped greeting image too.  So smart!  

    You can create a variety of flowers with this bundle as you can see.  This flower can be falling like wisteria or growing up like these here; they remind me of grape hyacinth.

  • Unique diagonal card layout using your Designer Paper


    I've made a few of these cards lately; I just love the diagonal layout and how easy it is to stamp your greeting directly on the White layer.  

    It's made with the beautiful Hues of Happiness designer paper seen here.  It's been my top seller this month!  So far it's not on the low inventory list but I fear it will be the way it's going! 

    I cut some of these flowers directly from the DSP using the Blossoming Happiness dies; they match up perfectly to many of the flowers in the paper.  

    I made a bunch of these cards for swaps in May in both colors seen below. This way I could use two different sheets of paper since they provided flowers in many hues. 

    Tip: The nice thing about this layout is that you don't have to measure your diagonal cut on the White CS perfectly.  Mine are about 3/4" from the lower left and the upper right. 

    The Melon Mambo card on the upper left is part of my Hues of Happiness card kit to go seen below.  You get 1/2 pkg of this pretty DSP, a share of ribbon and Glossy dot gems in the kit for $28 plus shipping. Tomorrow (May 18th) is the last day to opt in for this pre-cut kit to go.  See details on it here.  

    I used the Happiness Abounds bundle for these cards.  See that here.  

    This card below is made with Fresh Freesia as it's card base.  There are a nice variety of colors in this designer paper; so many card stock & ink colors will work with it.

    Here are the measurements: 

    • Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”
    • White front 5” X 2 ¾” cut in half about 3/4" from the lower left and upper right
    • DSP – 5” X 2 ¾”
