Hats Off with Hat Builder Dies

 I really enjoy the Hats Off stamp set on page 47.

The Hat Builder dies on page 159 are a real asset to 

a crafting collection.  They enable you to create either

feminine or masculine projects, by varying colors or 

paper patterns.

In this example, I used the Hostess Pattern Party

DSP on page 171.  The sentiment comes from the 

Sweet As A Peach set.

Hey Birthday Chick

I try to plug in a masculine or humorous card each week.  

Often, it involves a chicken(s) from the Hey Birthday Chick

bundle on page 65 (with coordinating dies).  They work well,

and are great fun to color with the Stampin Blends.

 

Penned Flowers, Meadow Dies and More

Happy Monday!

 

I love how well Flirty Flamingo, Mossy Meadow and 

Gorgeous Grape go together.  The Flamingo helps pop 

the other two colors.  In this example, I combined 

a number of dies:

Penned Flowers Dies (scallop) on page 159

Birds and More Dies on page 162

Meadow Dies on page 160

Pierced Blooms Dies (sentiment layer) on page 165

I used a Blending Brush (page 129) to add some

Mossy Meadow and Gorgeous Grape to the foliage.

 

Genial Gems (page 142) and Linen Thread finish it off.
