Miss Monday- Hey Birthday Chick Cards

 

Miss Monday cards using the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set by ©Stampin' Up! This card is also for a Team Swap organized by one of my team members with the theme of Birthdays! 

So I made 10 cards for this swap. I also like to swap in evens because it makes for easier math when cutting. You can get two cardbases from 1 sheet of cardstock and from one sheet of 12 x 12 piece of DSP you can get 6 card fronts (4 x 5 1/4). 

I usually just make the 2 cards for Miss Monday so you can see them side by side. I used the Artistry Blooms DPS for the large card front look and love how the color varies so slightly on both.

Here is the inside of the card where the theme is carried over with the saying and the DSP strip on the bottom. 

The Birthday Chick dies have some of the BEST details!!! Check out this barn and the texture on the ears of corn! See more about these dies and order them by clicking on the link below.

For added details I added the stitched outline using the Stitched with Whimsy Dies

I used the adhesive sheets to help me attach the "Happy Birthday" and ran them through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine together.
