Hello, My crafty friends! I sure hope you ordered the Hello Hollyhocks Kit because this kit is so amazing for alternates with the leftover pieces. I keep telling everyone; if you want bang for your buck; buy a kit and stretch that kit to make more cards. As you can see, I have made all nine (9) cards as the kit intended with one change that left me with the following leftover pieces allowing me to triple the card kit by making 27 cards:
I tripled the amount of cards made from one kit. I love how the alternate cards turned out. Of course, I brought in extra card bases and used a stamp set and punch that every crafter should have in their stash. If you don't have Layering Leaves--get it. It is a perfect set with sentiments and stamps for embellishing your cards which match perfectly with the Bough Punch. And to be quite honest, if you do kits, paper pumpkin or cards -- you will be grabbing this set often.
I had so much fun coming up with the alternatives for this kit. When making the alternatives; I kept to my scraps stash enabling me to use up some beautiful DSP scraps that coordinated with the kit.
If you would like to do a class to learn how you, too, can stretch your cards with this kit; just message me @ creativeimpressionsbylauramiller@yahoo.com
Below are 5 of the 6 alternatives. You can make 3 of each of these cards ultimately giving you 27 cards from one kit. You will need 27 card bases and 18 additional envelopes to achieve the 27 cards.
