Cluck, cluck…what’s up? Bobbi here with you! It’s the Clucky
Chickens stamps and dies! New for spring, these chickens come with all
their cute accessories like the hen house, basket, crate with hay, chicks, eggs
and more. This stamp set can make all sorts of cards including cards for
birthdays. My 5″ X 7″ card features pattern papers from the Classic
Sunburst paper pack and the Critter
Country paper pack for the
background.
To
make this 5″ X 7″ card, I attached the pattern papers to create a vibrant
background and stamped the birthday phrase at
the bottom, in the white space. Next, I stamped the cute images from the set and
cut them out using the coordinating
dies. I colored the images using the following
Copic Sketch Marker colors:
Chickens: E53, E50, YR68, R29, R17
Hen house: Y38, Y19, E55, E59, E49, 100,
C9, C7, C5
Chicks: Y38, Y18
Crate with hay: E57, E55, E53, E50, E49
Basket: B04, B02, B00, Y19, Y15, Y08,
E53, E50
Shadow color: W5
I don’t love a white border around my cut
images, so I generally color the borders using a shadow color such as W5. It
keeps the attention on the image instead of the border when creating a scene
like this one.
I
attached all of the items to the card front. The hen house, crate with hay and
three of the chickens were attached with foam tabs, making them stand out a
bit. It gives more dimension to the scene. I added one chicken inside the
house. There’s a die in the set that cuts out the door opening making this
super easy to do! I like that this card has more masculine colors in the
background, making the white chickens really pop off the page. It would be a
great card for males as well.

Hey friends! Cathy here
today and I’ve got a cute friendship card to share using the Clucky
Chickens Stamps. Fast food chicken restaurants inspired my color
scheme today but, shhhhh… Don’t tell these chickens!
I started this A2 card by die-cutting a piece of white cardstock
with a Stitched
Rectangle Die. I then inked the inside of the Woodgrain
Embossing Folder with Lost Shadow Distress ink and embossed the
die-cut rectangle.
Next, I die-cut the center portion of the Frilly
Frames Hexagon Die from white cardstock and inked it with Lost
Shadow Distress ink. I cut the hexagon pattern from the cardstock, adhered it
to the left half of the stitched rectangle and trimmed the excess from the
outside edges. I then repeated this on the right half of the stitched
rectangle. Before I adhered the stitched rectangle to the card front, I die-cut
a 5 1/2" long piece of black cardstock using the ribbon die from the Ribbon
& Lace Border Dies and adhered the stitched rectangle
slightly overlapping the ribbon piece. I trimmed the excess black ribbon piece
along the right and left edges of the stitched rectangle and adhered the
combined piece centered on the card front.
For my chicken scene, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock with
the largest Stitched Rectangle Die. With the die-cut rectangle placed
horizontally, I taped the second largest Stitched Rectangle Die vertically
across the piece and die-cut it again. This gave a stitched edge to all sides.
I then masked off a horizon line 1 1/2" from the top edge and lightly
inked the sky with Fossilized Amber Distress ink. I removed the masking tape
and lightly inked the ground with Antique Linen Distress ink. I stamped a
sentiment from the Clucky
Chickens Stamps in the top right corner making sure to leave
enough room for the chicken coop.
I brought my red and yellow color scheme together with the help
of 2 borders on each side of the center panel that I die-cut using the ribbon
die from the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. I overlapped each piece and adhered
them to the back of the center panel trimming the excess from the top and
bottom edges. I then adhered the combined piece to the center of the card
front.
To finish, I stamped the images from the Clucky Chickens Stamps
on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics
and die-cut them using the coordinating
dies. I also deepened the ground around the images with Copic E50
and E51.
