Itty Bitty Buds

I received this set when I held a workshop – it is not available for order and is a hostess freebie… I love it! it is so useful and lends itself well to decorating papers to then be used in projects. Recently I was speaking with a lovely lady through ILWS who was saying she doesn’t know what to do with this stamp set, so here are a few things that I’ve done!

I used it to create a background for my FIL’s 70th birthday card. it’s always difficult to make cards for men I find, so I stuck with quite earthy colours and a natural theme – maybe it was just an excuse to use my SU XL Bird punch!!

Hopefully one day I’ll get the hang on stamping in a straight line – even with the stamp-a-ma-jig I find I’m making mistakes…oh well practise makes perfect…

Colours used:

Choc chip, close to cocoa and creamy caramel for the card layers, green galore, choc chip and mellow moss to stamp.

I also recently held a workshop to create items for Easter… guess that seems ages away now! However, we made these easy peasey boxes… the large one is made using the backing card that comes with DSP and covered in Bella Bleu but the smaller one is made from Mellow Moss card and stamped with choc chip Itty Bitty Buds again. The sentiment is from a SAB set which is no longer available and cut out with scallop circle punch.
