Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. Today I'm showing you how mixing old stamps with new styles that come out means you can get more from your supplies. The main stamps came out in an Altenew Release for last Christmas, but to stretch the stamp further I've combine it with a recently released stencil to add a modern twist to the card. This Altenew stamp set is still available to purchase, so even if you've not got it you can still pick a set up and craft away! Written and photos Mixing old...

 Hi There, Crafty Friends. Changing the colour of your background can build a different theme. Rainbow bright colours are more summery. Browns, golds, orange and red's create an autumn feel. Pastels create a spring feel. So one background stamp becomes more valuable in your stash.  I love creating different colour combinations.  This background has a autumn feel that is added to by using embellishments. In this case its the skeleton leaves. I love this Concord and 9th brushed background as there are other elements for a totally different design idea. Its like a buy one get one free.   PRODUCTS...

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. I love to ink blend, but I love it more when it's over heat embossing. Emboss resist is such a fun technique to use with your stamping and if you combine it with metallic embossing powders and dark colours you can get rich & luxurious embossing in no time! What's more, you can easily adapt this to any stamp set you wish, or occasion. And for added variation, why not create an ombre effect with your ink blending.  Written and photos Rich & Luxurious embossing:  To start...
