Bumbleberry Blog — Cards

Well Hello Crafty Friends, This weeks card has evolved, because as I seem to be falling back in love with die cutting again. I never really stopped die cutting, but am a stamper at heart. But the dies we are able to get hold of now compared to 10, 15 yrs ago are just breath taking. Adding a real professional elegance to our cards.  None more so than the new Honey Cuts, Watercolor lines cover plate.    Here I teamed it up with altenew stamps.   Products Honey Cuts Watercolor Lines Cover Die https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/collections/honey-bee-stamps/products/watercolor-lines-coverplate-honey-cuts Altenew Stamps Tulips https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/products/tulip-stamp-set?_pos=1&_sid=4ea3f6602&_ss=r Arteza Pens Water...

Well Hello, Jo here from Daisy D's Designs, When ever I think about watery scenes, I tend to lean towards my water colour mediums, I find Real Brush Markers from Zig's,Watercolour Paints, Oxide Pads and Sprays,help me achieve that movement in the water look.    But this  time I went a step forward by teaming it up with a embossing folder, I tend to forget things I have and my desk has been crammed with stencils, as they have been so on trend. But recently I have been decluttering the craft room. There was some gems in there I had...

Hi there, welcome to this weeks, Wednesday Blog post. With me Jo Summers , I decided to get more from my original Distress inks, as I tend to forget about them now we have the oxides.
