Whimsy Stamps & Stamptember - Just Chickin In

Hi friends. I'm excited to be participating today in the Stamptember event today where the collaboration set of the day is with Whimsy Stamps. Whimsy Stamps has come up with the cutest set - Just Chickin In. You can purchase just the stamp set or it can also be purchased with the coordinating dies here.

It is a limited edition stamp set and these exclusive sets don't last more than a day or two so if you like it, don't wait to get it.

For my card, I knew I wanted to use the awesome Slimline Chicken Coop die set from Whimsy Stamps that was released a few months ago. I die cut the main portion of the die from this dark brown woodgrain card stock. I die cut the chicken wire portion from some silver mirror card stock.

I love that the die set includes the top long piece of the coop so you can cut that from a different color of card stock. I cut mine in black and it also has the great embossed detail. I stamped, colored, and fussy cut out my images and then got to work on assembling my card.

I started by figuring out where the back portion of the coop needed to be on my card base. I then added two of the haystacks from the Slimline Chicken Coop die set that I had colored and then added two of the chickens to it. I then added black foam tape to the back of my chicken coop. I added it to the card base lining it up with the back of the coop.

I added the other images on top of the coop and added an embossed sentiment which is from the Just Chickin In set. I decided the card needed something else so I die cut the pitchfork from the Slimline Chicken Coop die set and that completes the card.

I absolutely love how this card came together and had a ton of fun playing with the Slimline Chicken Coop die set. It is a match made in heaven with the new Just Chickin In set.

Wishing you a wonderful day. Crafty hugs! ~ Alanna
