#bringingbirthdaysback

That’s right! Stampin’ Up! is bringing birthdays back. So is this week’s Paper Craft Crew card challenge.

I’m excited that I actually got to use this new **FREE** stamp set called Hey Chick. I LOVE this stamp set. It’s ridiculously cute.

These are cute chicks!

I foresee myself using them for everything. (Especially given that I’ve packed all but about 10 stamp sets hoping that our move will happen soon.)

I really liked how the sentiment came out. (That is from another stamp set and I can’t remember the name of it at the moment.) I stamped it first in Early Espresso and then again in Real Red offsetting it by a small amount. (One of the advantages of photopolymer stamps is that you can see to align the image and pull it just slightly to the side to create the stereo effect you see here.)

Interesting, no?!

Here is this week’s Paper Craft Crew challenge…

You can use any layout that you love, just make it a birthday themed card and join us for this week’s challenge!!!

Excuse me…did you say this was a free stamp set?

Why yes, I did!

It’s Stampin’ Up!’s biggest sale of the year…Sale-A-Bration. You get to select one free item from the SAB Brochure for every $50 in product that you purchase.

This stamp set was the first thing on my list of must haves!
