Bumbleberry Blog — heat embossing

  Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team.

As soon as I saw the Avery Elle Sending Peace stamp set I knew it would look amazing heat embossed onto a winter background. Well, that's just what I did! I used Brushos - a pigmented watercolour powder, but you could create the background with liquid watercolours, ordinary watercolours or ink blend the background with a variety of inks. The...

  Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. This weeks project is a change from making a card to instead making a Christmas tag or two. I wanted to try and keep the tags fairly simple as you usually you need to make more than one tag. So a simple tag is simple to mass produce! The Atlenew Mini Christmas Stamp was perfect for these tags, sized just right and scream elegance when heat embossed on vellum.  Elegant Glittery Christmas Tags details: To start off, die cut a tag out of kraft cardstock. Using mod podge (or...
