The Stamp Review Crew: Itty Bitty Greetings

Welcome to another Stamp Crew Review Blog Hop!  We share our take on a selected stamp set every first and third Monday of the month.  Sentiment sets are a staple of the stamping tool chest, and today we are looking at one that includes a variety of greetings, Itty Bitty Greetings.  If you are following the hop in order, you have just arrived from the blog of the very talented Charlet Mallett.

This set has a variety of holiday sentiments (Valentine's, Easter, Christmas), occasion sentiments (wedding, baby, graduation), and several different ways to say thank you, happy birthday, and sympathies.  

Holidays: I made a couple cards focusing on upcoming holidays.  Here is combined Itty Bitty Greetings with the Messages die.

This card also follows this week's Paper Craft Crew color combination.

Stamps: Swallowtail, Itty Bitty Greetings; Paper: Bumblebee, Just Jade, Basic Black, Watercolor Paper, TH Distress White Heavystock, Flowers for Every Season DSP; Ink: Magenta Madness, Bumblebee, Versafine Onyx Black, Versamark; Accessories: Flowers for Every Season Gems, Watercolor Brush, Clear Embossing Powder, White Embossing Powder, Rectangle Stitched Dies, Messages Die, Die-Cutting Machine, Dimensionals.

The next card utilizes the Flowering Cactus Product Medley, which includes stamps, dies, DSP, and embellishments.  Just add some card stock and ink!  I love the dies cut out some DSP images for a quick card.  Layout design is inspired by Jan - Jun Mini Catalog sample.

Occasions: With the compact phrasing of the sentiments in this set, you can complement any card.  Case in point would be this sympathy card.

With consistent font-sizing, I thought about mixing and matching sayings, but ended up with this repetitive sentiment card.
