Way to Goat with Darling Donkeys





It's Friday, so I had to post a silly animal card.  
Way to Goat (page 105) always makes me smile, so
I had to pair it with the retired SAB Darling Donkeys.
That goat side-eye has so many uses.

These critters match in terms of size, and are so much fun to 
color with Stampin' Blends! (page 142-3). 
The sentiment is kind of neutral, which I find helpful
because you can add a birthday or congrats inside.

Snailed It with Snail Mail DSP


 This is what you could call a DSP snail card.  I used layers
and the snail from the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper pack.
The snail and sentiment layer were cut out with the Snail Dies
Finally, I used the sentiment from the Snailed It stamp set
(all on page 55 of the Jan-June 2021 Mini Catalog).

I really like the colors that are brought together in this DSP,
including Real Read, Blushing Bride, Daffodil Delight,
Bermuda Bay and Basic Gray. They are just a tad out of my
comfort zone, I that I would not ordinarily put these colors 
together.  But when SU does it for you, it works.

I often wonder if the "younger people" make the connection
regarding snail mail.  It took me a while to understand, but
then I didn't start texting til very late in the game.

Hey Chick with Dies


 If you haven't purchased or played with it, the Hey Chick
set (2017 SAB set, now available) is so much fun,
because you get to cut out and add fun bits with the
Hey Chick Dies.  Isn't that corn brilliant!
You can buy each component individually, or bundle
the set and dies for the 10% discount.

It's a bundle that you will get lots of mileage out of,
and makes great masculine card!


The smoke on the background layer comes from
the Geared Up Garage set.
