Hello crafty friends!It's been a while since I've posted or had the chance to craft, so I'm happy to be back! How have you all been? I hope you're all well! I'm jumping back in this week with a birthday card made with MFT stamps, the "Picture Perfect Party Animals" stamp set is adorable, I couldn't resist these parrots being the crazy bird lady I am!

I coloured the image using alcohol markers, adding highlights with a...

Well Hello Crafty Friends, I was recently watching a fellow crafter ( Carissa Wiley)  stamp on vellum and I was inspired by the beautiful soft look it gave to her work.

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. We often by a product with a project in mind, but then struggle to use it for another design. Here I have 5 cards showing you how to stretch your supplies for multiple cards designs. One tip I find that helps is to choose a colour scheme to create with and then change the card base sizes and shapes to create variation. You'll also find these cards in the newly release Die-cutting Essentials magazine, issue 66 released on the 25th of June. So let's get started! Written...
