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.

Each month the top sales performers in the Playtime with Paper group receive a small gift for their accomplishment. Naturally, the gift must include a card or tag. Using the Over the Moon Cling Stamp Set from the Annual Catalog, I was able to make an “Udderly Fantastic” note card . As you can tell from the “udderly fantastic”, there must be a cow somewhere on the card! If you noticed from my past posts, I enjoy using the note cards. The note cards are perfect to have on hand when you want to prepare a quick card. Best of all, twenty note cards come in a set, are reasonably priced and envelopes are included.
Here are the steps for creating the card:
The stamp for creating the cow spots background comes from the Love What You Do Stamp Set. Randomly stamp spots onto the Whisper White Note Card using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
Stamp the sentiment and the cow onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock. Cut using the large circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies.
Color the cow using the following Stampin’ Blends: Light Black for the spots, hoof, and tail; Light Smoky Slate for the tail, hair tuft and shading shadows; Light Petal Pink for the face, udder and inside ears and Light Mossy Meadow for the grass.
Use the large scallop from the Layering Circles die to cut a layering piece from Basic Black cardstock. Attach the cow piece to the scallop using adhesive.
Tie a piece of Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon around the card.
Complete the card by adding the cow tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Order the Over the Moon Stamp Set along with some note cards and have an udderly fun time creating a variety of cards!
