Goodbye to the Bitty Blooms Punch Pack – Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where our theme this month is ‘goodbye to the 2018 – 2019 catalogue’. If you have joined me from the talented Laura Mackie’s blog, welcome, I am sure you loved her project. I had real difficulty with this theme as there are so many lovely things retiring that it was hard to make a choice. Eventually I went with the lovely little Bitty Blooms Punch Pack. I was delighted to see them in the Spring/Summer catalogue as I have really missed tiny flowers and I am gutted to see them going so soon. I have also used a lot of other retiring products to make this card; in fact I think the only thing I have used that is carrying over, other than the cardstock is the Sprig Punch.

To recreate the Bitty Blooms card you will need;

Flirty Flamingo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Early Espresso cardstock 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 3 – 1 for the inside, 1 for the outside
Scrap Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Mango Melody, Pear Pizzazz and Basic Gray
Scrap Wood Textures dsp – Retiring

I used the retiring Swirly Scribbles dies and the Big Shot to die cut the open swirly circle from the Wood Textures designer series paper. I cut three circles and glued them together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to give a bit of dimension. The piece was then added to one of the Whisper White layers using the same glue.

Using all of the Bitty Blooms Punches and the scrap coloured cardstock I punched out a selection of flowers, leaves and flower centres. I also used the Sprig Punch to get some groups of leaves. I added a little dimension to each flower by curling the petals with my Bone Folder.

Mini Glue dots were used to make up the flowers and to attach the leaves and they were then added to the scribbled circle with Mini Glue Dots. The Glue dots give just that little bit of dimension without raising the little flowers up too high.

The inside panel was stamped with some of the small flowers from the co-ordinating Bloom by Bloom stamp set in Mango Melody, Flirty Flamingo and Highland Heather inks. The same colours and images were used to decorate the front of the envelope. I added a trio of Glitter Enamel Dots to complete the card. I love the Spring colour palette of this card. I hope you like it.
