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.

Pictures of cards using retiring products:

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

National Museum of the USAF here in town.  

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.
