Clucker Club

This week's post gives us a peek into the hen house! I have wanted to try making a shadow box style card for awhile now and I thought these chicken stamps were perfect for my first try. 

There seems to be quite the conversation going on in the hen house today don't you think? 

I started my vision by searching for the perfect shadow box style I pictured in my head. I found a tutorial here and after a few failed attempts with some regular printer paper, I made my frame with some wood patterned paper. Next, I measured the inside space of my square and stamped a chicken wire background to fit. The chickens were added to some red cardstock and popped up with 3D foam dots. Raffia pieces were perfect for some "straw" in my mind so I cut some pieces and "roughly" added them. I think a few feathers were the perfect touch - you know someone is clucking about something that will upset someone! 
Some gingham ribbon and matching sentiments finish off my card. This is a fun card style to make and I definitely see more in my future!

Don't Get Your Feathers Ruffled!

 

Hello everyone! Happy Thursday! 

This month's OCS Challenge is "My Favorite Things".   So the creativity door is wide open....this week, I am showing off these 2 cuties from the newest release, So Much Cuteness, from High Hopes Rubber Stamps:

The stamp is called "Clucker and Clackers" and the sentiment is called "Ruffled"....These images from High Hopes are absolutely ADORABLE in this release and these 2 are no exception...they make me giggle :D 

I stamped the image and sentiment using my Misti onto Xpress It! Copic paper and colored it up with my Copic markers. I layered on black to make the image and papers POP (love the gingham lol), popped the image and sentiment layers up with foam dots, then added some gumdrops from YNS! FUN!!!
