Stampin’ Up! Hey Chuck Birthday Book Fold Corner Easel For the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop

Good morning, y’all!  It’s Thursday – which means it’s time for another Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop.  We’ve got a sketch challenge to work with and I’m excited to see what everyone brings to the table.  I just know you’re going to see a ton of awesome-ness on the hop today!

I decided that it was time to get Chuck out again – from the Hey Chuck stamp set and bundled dies – and…I saw a challenge that included “Fun Fold” and “Gingham” so…out came one of my faves – the Book Fold Corner Easel Card – and some Glorious Gingham 6″ x 6″ DSP.  Take a look-see:

The layout for the card front is from our blog hop sketch:

And here’s the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge that drove some of my elements! I went up the one diagonal (Gingham – square – Birthday).  And…I MEANT to emboss the sentiment and then forgot. 🤷‍♀️

And the Creative Creases challenge is always all about the fun folds! 🙂

I started with a Copper Clay card base – 4 1/4″ x 11″ – that I scored and folded at 5 1/2″ and 6 3/4″ on the long side. Then I scored the 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ portion on the diagonal.

 

I folded the 5 1/2” score line as a “mountain” and at the 6 3/4” score in the opposite direction.  Topographically speaking, that would be a “valley” fold!  The diagonal fold is a “mountain”.

Using Liquid Glue between the 5 1/2” and 6 3/4” score lines, I adhered the front of the card base to the back – just in that 1 1/4” area. This made the “book” or “side” fold.

I matted a piece of Pretty Peacock Glorious Gingham DSP on Lemon Lolly for the card front – and a smaller strip on Lemon Lolly for the small side panel.  That one I went ahead and adhered to the “book” panel with Liquid Glue.

I matted a piece of Copper Clay Earthen Elegance DSP on Lemon Lolly and adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I cut the third-from-largest Stylish Shapes circle die from a piece of Blueberry Bushel Glorious Gingham DSP and adhered it with Liquid Glue.

Using the cloud die from the Playing in the Rain die set, I cut out three clouds from Basic White cardstock. I colored two of them with my Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends – and then adhered them with Liquid Glue.

I cut out a Lemon Lolly sunburst and a Copper Clay weathervane using the Hey Chuck die set – and adhered them with Liquid Glue.

On a piece of Basic White, I stamped Chuck in Copper Clay.  Then I colored his body and wings with my Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends; eyelids, beak and feathers with the Lemon Lolly Blends – and his shorts with a Flirty Flamingo and an Azure Afternoon Blend.

I cut him out with the Hey Chuck die (if you were on my Zoom last week – I DID find it!) and then popped him onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the Hey Chuck sentiment in Blueberry Bushel on Basic White and cut it out with a Stylish Shapes banner die – then adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

At that point, I put Liquid Glue on the lower triangle of the card front – the easel – and then adhered the card front to it.

I added some Pretty Peacock sequins from the Adhesive-backed Sequins Trio and the card front was done.

On the inside, I stamped a second Hey Chuck sentiment in Blueberry Bushel on a Basic White panel.  I matted it on Lemon Lolly and then adhered it inside the card with Liquid Glue.

For the easel stop – I stamped the Hey Chuck fence and birthday cake images in Copper Clay on Basic White.  Then I colored the fence with my Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends and the cake with Flirty Flamingo, Azure Afternoon (candle) and Lemon Lolly (flame) Blends.

I used their Hey Chuck dies to cut them out and then used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the fence die cut to the inside of the card – placing it so that my easel stood up how I wanted it to when the card was open!  Then I popped the cake die cut over the top with another Dimensional and…the card was done!

My Basic White Medium Envelope got the stamped and colored fence on the front…

…and more Glorious Gingham 6″ x 6″ DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Okay – seriously.  How cute is that little chicken?!  If the Hey Chuck stamp set, and adorable farm-themed die cuts, can’t make someone smile – even on their birthday 😎 – then…I don’t know what will!  Add some aptly named Glorious Gingham – and a super cool fun fold and…BOOM Chaka-la-ka!

I hope you like!
