Here's a TIP: Covering your chipboard is so easy, even a caveman can do it! lol! Really though, you just lay your selected chipboard down on your paper, pencil around it, then cut it out. I use SU Glue Stick (which is SO easy and inexpensive, and it bonds wonderfully well!) and cover the backside of my paper and the front of my chipboard, then place the paper onto the chipboard and smooth it out with my fingers. The glue dries fast so make any placement adjustments quickly. Use a sanding block to smooth the paper edges. Done! Then embellish to your hearts content!
On today's project I used the smaller bird, the branch and one flower from the package. The card is 6x6" Chocolate Chip Textured Cardstock. Wow, is that cardstock wonderful! I layered Baja Breeze cardstock that had been run through the Big Shot with the Flourish Texturz Plate onto the chocolate. Here's a great thing: the Texturz Plates are wide enough to texturize a 5 3/4" square piece of cardstock!! Wow, that's huge!
I used the Craft Ink Spots to cover the bird's feet, legs and beak then also the branch. The Craft Ink dries more slowly than the Classic dye ink, so you can set it aside while you do other things, OR you can dry it with the heat tool that you usually use for embossing. I then covered the little bird and flower with Good Morning Sunshine Designer Series Paper and punched out a "sun" from the same, layering that on Summer Sun (that was appropriate! lol!)
I took a strip of the small dots paper and clipped it finely all across for "grass" and adhered it to the base of the card. I ran one of the tag dies from the Sizzix set Lots of Tags through the Big Shot on three different cardstocks so I could layer the sentiment on coordinating colors.
The only other thing was to just put it all togeter! I used Mini Glue Dots to adhere the chipboard images to the card so they are stuck well! :) Oh, did I mention that this chipboard coordinates with some of SU's stamp sets (Cheep Talk, pg. 90, Good Friend, pg. 91 and goes great with Owl Together Now, pg. 14)? How smart is that! No more struggling to "make" things work together when they are already designed to! Love that!
