Bumbleberry Blog — Die cutting

Hey lovelies!This week I'm sharing a simple Halloween card using die cutting, this card would be great for party invitations I think as it would be easy to set up a production line for mass production! I decided on Honey Bee Stamps' "The Name's Jack" Honey Cuts for this card as the size of the dies themselves are great to use as a focal point! I started by cutting out the two ghosts from white card stock, I held my chosen facial expressions for them in place with washi tape while I ran them through my machine again. I cut...

Hello lovelies!I'm back after a short break last week with an autumnal card using the Outside-In Stitched Pumpkin dies from Lawn Fawn!

I used my Misti stamping tool to stamp out the entire set with Gina K's Amalgam Jet Black ink and coloured my images using my alcohol markers. I'm only using the pumpkin and acorn for this card, I added white details with a gel pen and fussy cut them out. I used the largest of Mama Elephant's...
