Birds and Branches

Birds and Branches (page 120) is one of my favorite
new catty sets.  I am very particular about my birds,
because so many look like "angry birds" to me.  
These are really cute.  The two step stamping offers
lots of combinations, that increase the depth of the bird image,
so that it looks very realistic.
The Birds and More dies offer so many different options
for use with or without the stamp set.  

I added a strip of DSP from the new In Good Taste
pack on page 148.  I love this set of wood and tile looking,
photo realistic pages.  The sentiment comes from
Grace's Garden on page 86.

Under My Umbrella

Today is one that Stampin' Up! demonstrators look forward
to!  It is the first day of the new 2020-21 catalog.  Under My
Umbrella, on page 20, is one of the sets from the last 
Mini catalog that has made it into the new catty.
This set pairs with the Build an Umbrella punch.
They really are a very pretty combination.

Sadly, I've had little time to stamp, because of my job,
so I was not prepared with a brand new set.  On Friday,
I will correct that situation!

Over The Moon



This week marks the shift from the 2019-20 Stampin' Up!
annual catalog, to the new 2020-21 catalog.  This is where
we say goodby to sets and products that have given
us great stamping pleasure.  Over the Moon makes me
smile, because of the cute cow poses and sentiments.  
I also love the Designer Series Papers featuring 
the gingham print.  Both will be retiring.
