The new mini catalog will go live the beginning of September! It's always exciting to see a new catalog and this one us FABULOUS! I had trouble keeping my pre-order in check because I loved so many things that are in it. I was sick when my box came so I couldn't actually make anything but it gave a lift to my day to look at all of it and see all that beautiful paper. 😊
Before I started feeling all the way better I just had to try to stamp something so I got the box out and picked out the Shepherds Care set. It was telling me to try this design. It looked a lot better in my head but I still like the way it turned out. It took a while in 3 or 4 sessions of stamping because I just couldn't sit up for more than 10 or 15 minutes at a time.
I embossed the big star and the little dots from the stamp set in clear embossing powder. White would work as well. After embossing everything I stamped the shepherd and then I sponged Misty Moonlight across the top and Mellow Moss across the bottom with blending brushes. I think I'll add some Wink of Stella here and there to give the card some sparkle.
The Peace on Earth sentiment is die cut with a new die set called Christmas Labels. It has a matching stamp set too. There are 4 dies in this set and they are all this type of fancy label. I love them, I know I'll be using them a lot!
I'm so glad to be feeling better and hope I can stamp a lot more. But first I have garden produce that needs to be canned! It was so good to be able to get back out in my garden.
