Paper Cuts

Hey Chicky!

Published by Shel9999 at 6:47 am under C.C. Designs, My Designs

Good morning. (lol)

I have a couple samples today using another new release by C.C. Designs from All That Scraps. This set is called Hey Chicky and it consists of four chicks and the sentiment.

Hey Chicky #1

I used the new SEI Chick-A-Dee patterned paper and brads. All the patterns in this line are so cute. And what I like about the brads (besides the fact that they all match the paper) is that they are different shapes and sizes.

After stamping the two chicks onto the peachy paper, I stamped them again onto white cardstock, colored them with reinkers and then pieced them onto the peach paper. The umbrella and boots were paper-pieced as well.

I messed up a bit in stamping the first set of raindrops at that monsoon angle but I didn’t want to begin again. So what these chicks are actually saying to each other is “Run! Run!”

Hey Chicky #2

For some reason, I struggled a bit with this one. I think it’s the white space around the chick that bothers me.

I used the same SEI Chick-A-Dee paper and brads and attached a little pink Prima over the stamped flower. The tiny yellow brad in the center is not from the SEI pack but from a Queen & Co. pack of sprinkle brads.

I used a scallop blade in my Fiskars Rotary trimmer for the scalloped edge. And a tag corner punch made for an easy tag shape for the sentiment. (No hole; the brad is just postioned over the end of the white cardstock.)

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you all have a great Monday!

The thing I love most about CC stamps is their simple design. Nothing too detailed, so everyone can use them and make them look good. They are perfect for beginner stampers and seasoned veterans alike!! And Michele, you have such a great clean style and you always know what mix of papers and embellishments go well together!! You are FAB-ulous dahling!!!
