Hey Chicks


 Happy Friday.  It's a chicks kind of day.  

This is the  Hey Chick set, with the Hey Chick Dies.  They are so 
much fun!  I created the fence with the Garden Gateway Gate
(page 181).  A 6x6 cardstock base, folded in half works
really well, enabling you to use the length to create a scene.

Soar Confidently with Alcohol Stampin' Blends


 My Brother-in-law had a medical procedure last week,
and I wanted to send a card to wish him well.  Susan and
Buffy have been demonstrating the Stampin' Blends with
alcohol technique, so I figured that I needed to get in on
the party.  This background also worked well for the
hot air balloon card that I was planning.

I bought the Soar Confidently stamp set because I have
so many guys to send cards to.  I'm a sucker for a hot air
balloon, or old air plane.  It's great fun to walk through the
I'm glad that they have a restaurant,  because the 
museum is HUGE.  You can't get through it in one visit, no matter 
how fast you walk.   I've gone to several events there
(I used to be married to an Air Force guy), so that
was the go-to location for special events.  It's also
a field trip destination for local schools.

Forever Fern Set with Flourishing Dies


Years ago, I made a card that was Flirty Flamingo and 
a now retired orange tone.  It was lovely.  In this example,
I used Pumpkin Pie, which tones down when paired with Flamingo.
 
The Forever Fern Stamp set (page 110), with coordinating  
Flourishing Dies (page 175) is a wonderful bundle, that enables
such elegant projects.  I used the stamp to create a background,
and the dies to add a little texture.  I used the sentiment from
Good Morning Magnolia, on page 34.
