New Catalog Swap

Fellow demonstrator Cathy Hansen organizes a demo only swap for each new catalog that Stampin' Up! puts out. This time its for the new Mini Catalog and Sale-a-Bration catalog. I struggled with this one as it had to be using items from those new catalogs. I came up with this:

I think it is very "spring-like" don't you? The card base is Daffodil Delight and the first layer is one of the new in-colors that I haven't used yet, Shy Shamrock. The designer series paper is from the new Sale-a-Bration catalog and is called Bloom Impressions. I used Shy Shamrock ink to ink up the stamps from the Grow With Love stamp set (which is also in the new Mini Catalog.) I stamped the mint leaves on it a piece of white paper and then die cut the label.  I then die cut a separate mint leaves image and mounted it on the label using dimensionals.  The small circle says "grown with love" and once punched out it was mounted using dimensionals. The ribbon is also Shy Shamrock.  The gems are from the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems pack.

I enjoyed using this color more than I thought I would. The other colors in the newest batch of in-colors are very nice and I have used them often. I hadn't tried the Shy Shamrock and I am now asking myself why not.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you are all staying healthy and safe!
