Bumbleberry Blog — Pink Fresh Studio

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. When I got the supplies out that I wanted to create with for this card, I decided to channel the Pinkfresh Studio look as much as I could which for me included a soft fresh colour palette. I didn't have the time to spend carefully colouring in this lovely wreath, so I decided to use a fun and easy technique by adding soft watercolouring with my dye inks! This technique is perfect if you want that watercolour look but you don't actually have watercolour paints! If you want...

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. When I was setting out to make a birthday card, I wanted to customise it for my niece and what better way than creating custom cards with alphabet dies! The beautiful Lea's Ornate lowercase alphabets die from PinkFresh Studios caught my eye and knew these would be great for creating whimsy custom cards. I paired it with an ombre pink colour scheme to create a fun bold modern birthday card.  Written and photos Creating custom cards with alphabet dies:  To start off, place a piece of white card...

  Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. If you've tried ink blending many times, you may struggle to get that soft ink blended look. But that is a thing of the past! If you've not tried the Altenew Ink Blending tool, then it's a must for creating a background with soft ink blending!

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. Slim-line cards are very on-trend at the moment, and most companies bringing out dies are US based and suit US cards/envelopes. However, we can still use them to create cards with their sizing or altering them to create cards that fit in the standard UK envelopes. So today's card uses the PinkFresh Studio Essentials: Slim-line Stitched Rectangles to create UK DL cards which measure 10cm X 21cm. These current dies measure 9.7cm X 22.5cm, so a tad too long for our cards! This length of the card...

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. When I saw the All my Love stamp set from Concord & 9th I thought it would be a beautiful stamp to watercolour with heat embossing. This technique is great for small stamps like this where you may struggle to keep within the lines or where you struggle painting small designs. What's more, adding a light wash of the colours over the design, allowing the colours to bleed out the lines adds a lovely soft touch to your edges without stark white borders.
