Bumbleberry Blog — Altenew stamps

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. Today’s post is all about creating two sets of birthday cards using the same techniques, but one tailored more as masculine and the other more feminine. What’s more, I’ve also created a box for each set so these could easily be given as a gift set for someone to use so make sure you check those out at the end.

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. Well, I don't know about you, but I have definitely started making my Xmas cards now as it is just around the corner if you're a card maker. However, I wanted to find an alternative colour for Xmas cards because as a crafter it can often get boring creating cards with the same colours over and over again. This rich dark teal colour is perfect for creating rich and luxurious cards and pair that with the Festive Foliage stamp set from Altenew which lends to easy stamping...

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. Of course, Christmas is coming up in a few months, and if you like to make your Christmas cards then you need to start making them if you haven't already. Today's card is such a sweet clean and simple holiday card with plenty of nod to the Christmas theme but it's not in your face Christmas theme either. I love to try and make more modern Christmas cards to suit my style and sometimes creating Clean and Simple cards is the best way with such a theme. A...
