Hey card-making friends. Today I’m Introducing Pip. This adorable little chick is the Deluxe Caboodle of the Month Bonus Die. So, if you subscribe to the Spellbinders Deluxe Caboodle to get all the clubs, you are going to meet Pip in person. I decided to combine Pip with the Clear Stamp and Die Set of the Month for Feb, Spring Smiles, along with the Embossing Folder Club, Wicker Basket, because hey, that’s a perfect fit for an Easter card right?

Then of course I needed the eggs, flowers and carrot from the Large Die of the Month Club too…..All put together to create this adorable card.

How to create the Introducing Pip hand made card:

Start with a top folding A2 sized white card base 4-1/4″ x 11″, score and fold at 5-1/2″.

Next, cut a piece of Purple Mist cardstock 3-3/4″ x 5″. Die cut an arch in the center using the 7th from center arch die. Emboss with the Wicker Basket Embossing Folder.

TIP – I find spraying the paper with water first, helps to break down the fibers and gives you a deeper embossed image without the paper tearing.

Then, using a large blending brush, lightly cover the embossed image with Violet ink, this helps the embossing show up.

Introducing Pip – Embellishing the card.

Die cut Pip and all the other elements from colored card stock.

Next, using small blending brushes, and Citrine, Ocean, Violet, and Peony inks from Simon Says Stamp, ink blend the edges to add depth and color to the pieces.

Then, attach the embossed card front to the card base with foam tape. Using foam squares, attach the pink egg in the center, then Pip on top, and use the remaining elements to decorate around them.

Finally, white heat emboss the sentiment onto a scrap of the Pink Sand cardstock to attach to the bottom center of the card.

The reason I ask for that specific info is the system that tracks the sales only gives us a dollar amount and company name, we do not know who made the sale.
