We had Hey Chick in the past and now we have Hey Chuck! And Hey Chuck is just as much fun to use for creating projects. Today I am using the Hey Chuck Bundle to create a note card set. This project is from a recent gathering of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from the state of Georgia. Attendees created the note card set as one of their projects.
To color the images watercolor pencils and a blender pen were selected. The technique of using watercolor pencils and a blender pen is often forgotten but is a great alternative to Stampin’ Blends. When using the technique, I recommend using the Thick White Cardstock as “pilling” with a blender pen is less likely to occur. Plus use a soft touch with the blender pen – think of holding a paint brush and likely smooth across the coloring to smooth and blend. To add additional interest, texture emboss the colored panels with the cross hatch Basics 3D Embossing Folder.
Don’t those chicks make you smile?
To recreate the Hey Chuck Note Card Set, a FREE tutorial is available. The tutorial is in the Events Section at the top of this post under the Tutorial Tab.

The Wild & Sweet Stamp Set in the 2022-2023 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog features three animal designs that are perfect for creating note cards (as well as, standard cards). Due to the detail of the animal images, coloring isn’t required. Today’s feature, the raccoon note card, is perfect for sending that simple greeting. And, isn’t this just the sweetest raccoon you’ve ever seen?
How to make this card..
Stamp the raccoon onto a piece of Basic White Thick Cardstock (4-5/8″ x 3-1/8″) using Basic Gray Classic Ink Pad. Using Balmy Blue Ink and a Water Painter, carefully apply a light wash around the image of the raccoon. Color the grass using the Garden Green Watercolor Pencil (use it dry to avoid smearing the gray ink). Stamp the “hey there” sentiment from the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set using the Basic Gray Classic Ink Pad. Next, add the stamped layer onto a piece of 4-7/8″ x 3-3/8″ Basic Gray cardstock. Finish by adding the layered panel to the front of a Note Card. For an extra touch, partially stamp the raccoon on the front edge of the note card envelope.
Often a simple note card is all you need when letting someone know you’re thinking of them. With the Wild & Sweet Stamp Set, you can quickly create a batch of simple note cards to have available when needed.

One of my regular card class attendees recently had a fall and was injured. Since she had to miss the last class, I made a note card for the class group to sign so it could be sent to cheer her up. The Gang’s All Meer stamp set with the “from all of us” greeting along with the gang of meerkats made the perfect note card. Aren’t the meerkats and their expressions cute? They certainly guarantee smiles! The Gang’s All Meer is in the Sale-a-Bration brochure and is available for FREE with a $50 purchase (before tax & shipping) until March 31, 2020.
Details on making the card:
The base is a Whisper White note card from a package of the Note Cards & Envelopes in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. Stamp the “gang” and the “from all of us greeting” onto a 4-1/2″ x 3″ piece of Whisper White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Use the Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends to color the meerkats. With the Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend color the ground. Cut a 15″ piece of Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon. Color the ribbon with the Dark Pool Party Blends. Allow ribbon to dry for a few minutes, then tie the around the card front. Attach the card front to a 4-3/4″ x 3-1/4″ piece of Pool Party cardstock. To complete the card, attach the Pool Party layer to the note card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The good news is Deborah has recuperated and will be stamping with the group at our upcoming class. We’re excited for her return!

In this month’s card class, the focus was on All About Flowers. A must was using the Forever Blossoms Bundle and the Parisian Blossoms Designer Series Paper. The cherry blossoms evokes thoughts of Spring and the cherry blossom stamp with it’s coordinating die are perfect for creating cards and projects. With the multitude of rainy days we’ve had in Georgia, hopefully the cherry blossoms will give us a showy Spring! As you’ve likely noticed, I enjoy using note cards and the Scalloped Note Cards & Envelopes coordinates perfectly with the designer series paper. The idea for coloring the cherry blossoms using Sponge Daubers comes from Patty Bennett. Just click on the link to Patty’s page for details. Sponging makes it a quick project.
If you want to make the Forever Blossoms Note Card, use a light pink Scalloped Note Card. Attach a layer of 5″ x 2-3/4″ Parisian Blossoms Designer Series Paper to the front of the card and a 1/2″ x 5″ strip to the inside right card edge. You want the strip to “peek” behind the scalloped card edge.
Using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink pad, stamp the cherry blossoms onto a 5″ x 2-1/2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Also on the Whisper White cardstock, stamp the Hello sentiment from the Good Morning Magnolia using Petal Pink Classic Stampin’ Pad. Add Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo to the cherry blossoms with sponge daubers. To color the stems, use Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. Cut the cherry blossom stem with the coordinating Cherry Blossoms Die. To cut the sentiment, use the Stitched Labels Dies.
Assemble by adding the cherry blossom to the front of the note card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then, attach the sentiment label. Complete by tying a small knot bow using the Petal Pink Metallic Edge Ribbon and adhere using a mini glue dot.
TIP: Stamp multiple cherry blossoms onto Whisper White cardstock and have a color fest selecting a variety of colors for the blossoms. Cut each with the coordinating die and you’ll be set to create a variety of cards to have on hand.

Today, it’s a Tropical Theme! In an earlier post, you saw a birthday card featuring the Tropical Oasis Suite. I’m loving the suite! The vibrancy and retro look of the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper definitely adds island cheer to projects. The pineapple from In The Tropic Dies is perfect for adding to treat packaging, as well as, cards. The two projects below were sent to Playtime with Paper team members in recognition of outstanding performance. The Pineapple Box is a CASE from Cindee Wilkinson with dimension changes to fit the gift item. To color the pineapple, I opted to sponge on color versus using the pigment sprinkles. The congratulatory note card features the Timeless Tropical Bundle and the coordinating Designer Series Paper.
For creating the note cards:
Use a Whisper White note card from the Note Card and Envelopes available in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. Select the coordinating Designer Series Paper (DSP) you wish to use, cut and attach to front of the note card. Notice how I covered the entire front of the card. The floral DSP is cut at 1-1/2: x 5″ and the green DSP is 2″ x 5″. To cover the paper seam, use a strip of the 5/16″ Braided Burlap Trim. For the sentiment (from Peaceful Moments Stamp Set), a sticker from the Tropcial Oasis Memories and More Card Pack is the perfect size to use. Use the Timeless Tropical Bundle to stamp the flower and cut with the coordinating dies. The flower to coordinate with the Designer Series Paper is stamped with Real Red ink and colored using the Daffodil Delights Stampin’ Blends. With the leaf die, cut two leaves from Old Olive cardstock. Layer onto card by sentiment and add a Champagne Rhinestone as final embellishment.
Yes, it’s winter but doesn’t this bundle make you think of warmth and tropical paradise?! If you’d like to create with a tropical flair, you can order products needed below.
