Bumbleberry Blog — Die cutting

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. Sometimes Christmas cards need to be easy to make sure you have enough time make plenty to send out! So an easy modern Christmas card like this is great for bulk making.

Paired with ink blending and white space you have two modern whimsy cards!  Written and photos...
