Itty Bitty Greetings - Stamp Review Crew

Itty Bitty Greetings - Butterfly Card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Hello friends! Welcome to the Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Review Crew Hop.

What is the Stamp Review Crew? We are an international group of paper crafters that get together to feature and review a single Stampin’ Up! stamp set on the first and third Monday of each month. All of our previous stamp set reviews are archived. Click here to see all of the hops!

I love a good greeting stamp set. Itty Bitty Greetings is probably my most used stamp set. I keep it on my desk and add tiny sentiments left and right to cards whenever a stamp set does not include a sentiment. You can see a handful of cards using this set at the end of this post.

My card today is SIMPLE! Stamps, ink and paper. Handmade cards don’t have to be over the top. As a cardmaker that is hard to remember but a simple handmade card can make just as strong of a statement as an over the top card.

The butterfly image is from the Floating and Fluttering Bundle. A full list of supplies can be found below.

Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Bouquet of Hope

Hello and welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Thing monthly blog hop. This hop is all creating and sharing alternate products for the current Paper Pumpkin kit. This month’s Paper Pumpkin kit is called ‘Bouquet of Hope’.

It’s been forever since I’ve been able to participate in this hop. Since I love on the East Coast I often get my kit later. For some miracle my kit arrived last week and I had plenty of time to make the projects, play around and make a few alternates.

This is a beautiful kit, I’m particularly fond of the stamp set. The large bouquet of flowers is such a pretty image and super fun to color. I used that stamp image on all three of my cards. These alternate projects range from super simple to using all the components for all three cards on one card! Lol. You can recreated these alternates easily. All I added was black ink and various colors of Stampin’ Blends.

Paper Pumpkin Kits come with all the supplies to create multiples of 2-3 projects. You can easily extend your kits by altering projects. My big tip today … CHOP IT IN HALF. Take your card based and chop them in half. You can then mount to plain white cardstock and have double the options. This also provides sheets of the colored card base that can be chopped into smaller pieces. Did you notice? On my first card I chopped the doily in half, creating a pretty skirt for the bouquet image. The Rococo Rose band that runs across the card was chopped from the back of the Rococo card base. Even the greeting is “chopped”. I stamped the full sentiment and then cut in half to simplify the sentiment.

Thanks so much for visiting and thanks in advance for your lovely comments! Ready to see more alternate ideas for this Paper Pumpkin kit? The full link up can be found below - Click on the link after my name (Charlet Mallett).
