Creating masculine and feminine birthday card sets

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.

Partial die-cut heat embossed border card - Pink Fresh Studio - Leafy Decor

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. So who says leaves have to be green?! I thought this Leafy Decor stamp from PinkFresh Studio would be a great stamp for partial die-cutting to create a border card. And I think it turned out quite well. I decided to go for an alternative colour scheme, as I wanted to play with colour more, rather than stay with traditions. Hopefully, you'll think it's a success - for me, it is a success!

Rainbow die-cut leaf cards

    Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. It's rare for me to make a purely die-cut card or one with not much stamping, but today I've got 5 for you! These rainbow die-cut leaf cards were created with the Altenew Parlor Palm die set and I hope this shows you that you don't always have to use the die in its main form.  Of course, I did create one card using the die in the way it was intended, and I love that one just as much as the others!

A Very Quick, Die Cut Card Made With A Monochromatic Theme. Bringing inks,cardstock and patterned paper together.

Hi There, Crafty friends This week I've been looking at how I store my Inks, Cardstock and Papers. I realized they were, not near each other and I had been over looking how they all work together. Brands bring out ranges, so we use them to coordinate.(Something I failed to remember) But when we have lots of different materials around us we forget to pull them out together. So operation company re-organisation was put in to practice.   Cardstock and Pattered Papers      This Is Lawn Fawn Cilantro Cardstock, I then went through my pattered papers, from Lawn Fawn...

Retro Ombre stamping - Altenew Retro Plantines

    Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. This Retro Plantine stamp set from Altenew has such fun foliage which when paired with bold colours creates a stunning retro feel. However, you can step the stamping up a notch by also doing a bit of fun retro ombre stamping with your inks for added interest.
