10 card making techniques, 1 layer
How can a crafter combine 10 card making techniques into a single layer card? By following the lead of a chicken in a pot! Ha! Welcome to my stop on the Cold Hands Warm Heart bloghop!
I created a card using the chicken – one of the new dies added for the Birthday Farm Animals stamp set – and did a little something crazy. I combined it with one of these succulent stamp sets, and since I wanted to be like everyone else and make it a holiday/winter card….I did that too! Yeah, I’m all for nutty combinations…this turned out to be a 1-layer card together with 10 card making techniques, too. Now do you believe I like nutty?
And since I know some of my readers won’t believe that it’s 10, or know how the heck I made the cool wallpaper…I made a video late last night showing how I did it! [If you can’t see the video below, click HERE to watch it on YouTube.]
I hope the card making techniques video at least made you smile! This darling chicken is enough to brighten your day.
What old-timey phrase (like “chicken in every pot”) runs in your family?

Love, love, love it!!

the chicken is unexpected fun
That chicken is too cute.
I love the colors!
HOW CUTE!!! (I am a “Chicken Fan!” LOL) I am late in getting here…& your video wasn’t accessible! 🙁 But, I wanted to let you know, your card is SUPER CUTE!!! LOVE the textured background too!! 😀
After the last present has been opened on Christmas Day, DH always pipes up: “That’s it for another year.”
It’s Christmas season!
I can’t say that we had any particular sayings in our family, but reading some of the commentors posts was fun! And so is your card – SUPER fun!!!
This is soooo fun. Great card and fantastic coloring (as usual). Thank you.
That chicken is just too adorable! tfs!
Amazing and fun card!
Hi Sandy, I really really enjoyed watching you make this card! All of those techniques in a single layer card! WOW, you ROCK! Truly this card is just adorable and your coloring is fantastic! Thanks for sharing all your awesomeness. Your my new idol as I know I could never even think up a card like this . :0). Hugs Lisa G
Sandy … I’ll admit that I haven’t watched the video yet .. I will be shortly! But that card is amazing … 10 techniques, I can’t wait to see! What I have to share isn’t so much a saying as a tradition. Every year from the time I was a child, my mother and grandmother would bake DOZENS of cookies; and roughly 26 varieties. On Christmas Eve the cookies would be plated up and distributed to friends, family and neighbors. My friend’s sister always referred to her plate as “Linda Cookies” and it wasn’t Christmas until she got them. Both my mom and grandmother are gone now and the tradition has fallen to me. The cookies will forever and always be referred to as “Linda Cookies.” … there are also Linda Brownies, not to be overlooked by the Linda Cookies, of course. 😉
Wow, Sandy you are a talented stamper! I really enjoyed watching you make this card. Do you think that chicken has egg on its face?
Great card! Loving this blog hop.
The only old times saying I can think of is my grandma saying things were hotter “than blue blazes.” This release is hotter than blue blazes even if it is for winter!
Simply stated … ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Such a fun card. You made me smile more than once.
Thank you so much for posting this video. What a cool way to color white a totally different way!! Old sayings, huh? My mother always used to say “the early bird gets the worm” and “practice makes perfect.”
Wowzurs Sandy, What a great mind you have for design!
You are the bomb!
How cute is this card! Made me smile big time!
As appropriate in relation to the chicken card, my mother used to always caution me, “birds of a feather all flock together.” On another note, I bought the farm animals set right after it came out. I am thrilled to have another way to use some of the stamps. And finally, as others have commented, I am participating in the OCC for Copics and have enjoyed every second of it. I am so grateful for the talents and gifts you and the other instructors have so willingly shared with us! Now all I need is time to practice and get my farm animals stamps nice and inky!
thank you!

Haha. Super cute fun card!
“No dessert ’til you’ve eaten your vegetables” This IS a holiday saying in our family because the only time we –have– dessert is on holidays! Thank goodness the rule was only applicable to at least one vegetable as there were always at least 3 or more veggies for every holiday dinner. It all started with my Grandmother who made at least one veg that each of her grandkids would eat. As grown-ups, well, at least as older people making the dinners now instead of just eating them, my sister and I were musing about our compulsion to cook so many veggies at Holiday Dinners when we’re not really veggie eaters. We managed to track back to this rule and quirk of Nana’s. So we decided OK, we’re gonna cut back on the veggie dishes. But, so-and-so won’t eat peas so we have to have another veg if we’re doing peas. Well, he won’t eat cooked carrots so we’ll have to do a raw veg platter for him. and … … we still cook at least three or four veg dishes AND have a raw veg platter for holiday dinners and no, you don’t get dessert ’til you’ve eaten your veg!
Holy smokes!! That’s a lot of techniques. But so worth it to create this adorable card. That was just awesome.
Such a fantastic wallpaper you’ve created here! Great work! 🙂
My family’s phrase: “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” (The chicken reminded me of this quote!)
“Better smell it before you eat it…”
Love your chicken card!!
Love the card – very cheerful!
Good card, made me laugh! Got inspired, now I’ve gotta get to work.
Very cute!
Oh my!!!!! I love love this card!!! You’re awesome Sandy… thank you for all your videos 🙂
My grandmomma would always say
“If y’all don’t shape up, Santa’s going to bring you switches, and a lump of coal”
Wow! That’s amazing!
Like all good southerners, I suppose our phrase would be “well, bless your heart”. Love your cards!
Old saying — “I’ve slept since then” meaning I don’t remember cuz it’s been awhile. Love your cards and stamp sets! So creative.
Beautiful cards.
I love the stamp set; soooo irresistably adorable!! Glad to know that the full set of dies are now available. Thank you for the tutorial. Love learning new techniques and how to use products I have seen but haven’t had the chance to discover how to use them.
Really awesome, awesome. TFS.
Love the goofy expression on that bird!
Sandy I love the way your mind works. The chicken in a pot for Christmas who woulda thunk it? So adorable!!
Such a CUTE card! I love it!
