CAS the Catty - Garden Birdhouses

Hi, Stampers!

Thanks for joining me today for another CAS the Catty (short for catalog) post. Today's post features the Garden Birdhouses Photopolymer set on page 107 of the 2021 - 2022 Annual Catalog.

Now I know that everyone is just about to--if you haven't started already-- get cracking on our holiday cards....lucky for me, some of my stamping friends and I started in January making at least three cards per month...so it shouldn't be so overwhelming (yeah, right...). Me, I'm not ready for the nice weather to end so I'm holding on...

I find that this set is a hidden gem in the catalog. Truth be told, it was probably on one of the first--maybe second or third--orders from the then "new" Catalog and I'm so glad I finally have the opportunity to use it. Take a look at the cards we created tonight on the YouTube Live. We incorporated a couple of techniques to include: second generation stamping, tip to tip watercoloring, and fussy cutting. Overall these cards tend to fall in the #simplestamping category.

Measurements

It's almost time to say farewell to October and to ring in November. So much goodness in November...Thanksgiving (I've got to lose a little weight just so I can gain a little weight with all the good food); I'm heading out on my first cruise since COVID; oh and most important (drumroll please), Eden's Garden will be available on November 2. What is Eden's Garden you ask? Eden’s Garden Bundle is an early-release product from the January–June 2022 Mini Catalog. What so amazing about this is this early release collection has additional products are exclusive and only available while supplies last. Which mean they will NOT be in the catalog when it goes live.

I've been previewing some of samples on my Facebook page so hop on over and take a look.

Happy Stampin' Y'all
