Eggstra Fabulous at Any Age
What comes first, the patterned paper or the stamps? A crafty riddle for the ages, right up there with the chicken and the egg.
In this case, the patterned paper definitely came first. This vintage 2006 Autumn Leaves paper immediately sparked a vision in my mind of a funky, slightly sassy hen who simply had to come out and play. And here she is in all her glory. Meet Louise.
Now, at the Crackerbox Stamps store, she goes by the very proper name of “Chicken Standing.” But let’s be honest, Louise is doing far more than standing. She is absolutely passing judgment on everyone she encounters, including her companion stamp, “Cracked Egg.” Side-eye included.
Of course, I couldn’t resist a good pun, so “Eggstra!” had to make an appearance. To lean into the mixed media vibe, I added bits of thread, those cozy little tangles you’d expect to find tucked into a bird’s nest. Texture, personality, and a hen with opinions… this card has it all. 🧵✨
Sometimes the paper leads the dance, and the stamps happily follow. And when they do, magic (and attitude) happens.

Are you ready for some football!
Hello, Janet here with a card for the football fan in your life.
I stamped the helmet and football with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored them with colored pencils and then cut them out. Placed them on brown printed paper. I cut strips of printed grass paper and placed them evenly on white cardstock. The brown paper is placed on the green football field. Stamped Are You Ready For Some Football on light brown cardstock with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink. I rounded the corners. Using a soft brush, I made the sentiment look distressed. It is attached to the upper left corner of the card.
