Vaccine Booked and Hello Chick at the End of the Pandemic

 I just booked my COVID-19 Vaccine for Monday morning! I'm excited but I have mixed feelings about the end of the pandemic and getting back to normal. I have to admit to a bit of anxiety about interacting socially again, wearing make-up and uncomfortable dressy clothes, keeping my house super clean so I can have people over. In thinking about my feelings, and about how much I've socially regressed over the past year, I had an idea for a card using the "wild" chicken from the Hey, Chick stamp set and the Here's a Card sentiment stamp set.

• When they finally say it's safe to come out of the house without all the extra precautions, I know I'm going to be just like this chicken: Wild hair, wild eyes, cautiously looking around everywhere to make sure it's safe, then inching out one step at a time into the unknown.
• The sentiment, from Here's a Card, sums it up rather well, I think.
• On the Gray Granite card base, I have a background from the retiring World of Good DSP which, in this case, is supposed to represent the untidy house!
• Then, to paint a really bad picture, the ladybugs trinkets on the outside of the Mossy Meadow "house", with door and windows made with the Stitched Rectangle Dies and the Layering Circles Dies.
• The crazy chicken was stamped with Memento ink and coloured in with the Soft Suede, Crumb Cake and Cinnamon Cider Stampin' Blends Combo packs.

Colour Blocked Birthday Card with Gilded Autumn DSP

Today I wanted to show you the last sample for my September Online Technique Class using the Gilded Autumn Suite products. This one is a little more simple, but fun, using a bit of a colour block technique with the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper and some embossed cardstock along with the coordinating Ribbon Pack for the Suite.

Here's a closer look:

• The card is built on the Very Vanilla Thick cardstock with a 3 3/4" x 5" panel of Crumb Cake as it's centre focus. On that center are a square and a rectangle of the Gilded Autumn DSP breaking up the top row, while the bottom row consists of a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock embossed with the Tasteful Texture 3D Embossing Folder and holding the Mint Macaron Basket Weave ribbon in Mint Macaron and the Copper Metallic Grosgrain ribbon down its middle.
• The sentiment came from the Here's a Card stamp set, but could be any small Happy Birthday Sentiment. It's stamped in Early Espresso ink. 
• The Stitched Rectangles dies was used to die cut the sentiment and the Stitched Nested Labels Dies die cut a backing for the label from another pattern from the Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP. 
• Some die cut grasses add the finishing touch.
