Some mornings just need a little extra something, right? This chick totally gets it. I needed a boost of mojo, and the Don’t Cluck with My Coffee stamp set from Unity Stamp Company gave me the perfect creative spark. Today’s card is all about wingin’ it… a little coloring, some patterned paper layers, and a whole lot of coffee fueled fun.

You can watch it all come together in my JAM Sesh video.

BIG Scallops & Rectangles Dies USC

Are You Feelin’ Smarty or Fancy?

Tell me this stamp doesn’t make you laugh. That face, that coffee cup, and that perfectly sassy sentiment centered in a Thinkin’ Out Loud bubble. I colored this chick with Copic markers to match the cozy hues in Summer Harvest pattern paper. The layout is simple but full of charm, with layers of patterned paper, soft embossed clouds in the background, and a few die cut flowers topped with tiny buttons. It’s a little silly, a little sweet, and a whole lot of fun to make.

Copic Colors: Y21, Y26; YG13, YG17; R21, R22; B00, B01

What Makes This Card Special:

• Laugh-Out-Loud Image: Because who can resist a coffee-loving chicken with curlers?
• Copic Color Match: Those warm tones pulled right from the pattern paper make it all cohesive.
• Simple Layers: Easy to build and still eye-catching.
• Button Details: Cute, crafty, and a great way to use those tiny embellishments.
• Cloud Embossing: Adds soft texture and ties the outdoor scene together.

Creative Tips & Techniques

• Start with the Giggle: When a stamp makes you laugh, let it lead your design.
• Color Match Your Paper: It’s an easy trick for a pulled-together look.
• Layer with Purpose: A few patterned pieces go a long way.
• Add Subtle Texture: Embossing keeps things interesting without overwhelming.
• Just Wing It: Don’t overthink every detail. Sometimes the best cards happen when you play.

That’s my mojo inspo for today… powered by caffeine, creativity, and one silly chick. I hope this card makes you smile and maybe inspires your next crafty session. Because honestly, we’re all just wingin’ it sometimes.
