Hey Friend Just Chicken In Card

Posted on May 22, 2022 by Laura Stark

I’ve been in a bit of a sewing hole lately, so I haven’t really had the time to make any cards.  Last night, though, I really fancied doing some colouring and ended up coming up with this super simple friendship card.  It’s ideal for sending to a friend I’ve not seen for a while, or even to someone who’s feeling a bit down at the minute.  And, it only took a couple of hours to make – which is fast for me!

Supplies I Used

  • Mama Elephant Zodiac Rooster stamp set
  • Lawn Fawn Henry’s Alphabet dies
  • Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangle die
  • Heffy Doodle Slimline Scenery dies
  • Snow Leopard White crafting card
  • Autumn paper pad
  • Heffy Doodle 8.5 x 11” Coloured Cardstock – Banana Split
  • Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide
  • Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide
  • Twisted Citron Distress Oxide
  • Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide
  • Lawn Fawn Glue Pen
  • Crafters Companion tape pen
  • Lawn Fawn Rainforest Ink Pad
  • Memento Black Ink Pad
  • Copic Sketch Markers

Making the Card

To create my ‘Hey Friend, Just Chicken In’ card, I started off by die cutting two rectangles using the largest Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle die.  I kept one for the background, and cut the second one again using the grass die from the Heffy Doodle slimline set.  I then blended Salvaged Patina and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxides to make the sky on my large rectangle, and Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress Oxides to make the grass.

Next, I stamped three of the chickens and some fries from the Mama Elephant Zodiac Rooster stamp set onto some Snow Leopard White Crafting Card using Memento Black ink.  I used this card for the background too as it’s honestly amazing for both colouring and ink blending – it’s the best I’ve found so far in the UK.  I coloured these in using my Copic Sketch markers, cut them out, and glued them onto my card base.

Once this was done I realised just how much space I had at the top of the card.  So, rather than using the whole sentiment that came with the Mama Elephant set, I cut the words ‘Hey Friend’ out of pattern paper using the Lawn Fawn Henry’s Alphabet dies.  This was my first time using these, and I love how narrow they are.  Finally, I stamped the second part of the sentiment ‘Just Chicken In…’ to my card using Lawn Fawn Rainforest Ink.

Finally, I cut a piece of Heffy Doodle Banana Split cardstock in half, scored it down the centre, and folded it into a card.  I then attached my card base to this using Crafters Companion double sided tape.  I love how this card turned out, and the Just Chicken In’ sentiment is perfect.
