Hey Birthday Chick Card

 

It is time for me to make and send out my swaps again. This one I made for the Queen's Birthday Swap. These dies with the Hey Birthday Chick and the Hey Chick stamp sets are AMAZING!!! There are so many fun little pieces and honestly work best together. 

One of my favorite tips when using 12 x 12 DSP is making an inside DSP piece. When you cut a 12 x 12 paper into two 4 x 5 1/4, you get a leftover piece that can then be cut in half and used for the inside of your card! :) It is a happy accident.
