Hey Chickie

Ever been in a stampin' rut? Got 'stamper's block'? Great news! Stampin' Up! has an incredible variety of products that you can use to whip up adorable cards and projects - no stamps required. For today's chickie card I used On Board So Tweet and some sweet Tea Party Designer Series Paper.

Stampin' Up! chipboard is a snap to cover:

1. Cut a piece of designer series paper slightly larger than the image you are going to cover.
2. Adhere paper to chipboard using adhesive - be sure the design you want to show is facing outward.
3. Trim closely around your shape.
4. Rub sides with a sanding block to keep 'funky edges' away! Confession: I didn't have any sanding blocks today, so in a 'pinch' I used a nail file -- it worked perfectly! ;)

The layout for my card is from Our Creative Corner.
My card measurements are:
Almost Amethyst Base: 5" x 7"
Background: 4.75" x 6.75"
Striped Panel: 3.75" x 5"
Floral Panel: 2.5" x 4.75"

So Saffron Ribbon from the Sale-A-Bration Ribbon bundle is layered with Pretty in Pink 1/4" grosgrain. Instead of a bow, (because you and I both know that sometimes bows are hard to get just right) I opted for a K&Co. paper flower for embellishment.

I stuck my Easter chickie to my card front using Glue Dots -- pop-up for the main body and mini for her other parts. Lastly, a quick rub-on sentiment was added to a tab courtesy of my Round Tab Punch. Two So Saffron brads perfectly pull everything together.
