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.

When I was watching all the videos coming from Creativation I was inspired to get out my PinkFresh Studio dies after a booth tour of PinkFresh Studio. I particularly wanted to the play with the Leaf die and though it could be used to make an elegant CAS wedding card.  Written and photos Elegant CAS wedding card:  To start off, die-cut the Leaf die from white card 2-3 times. In addition, die-cut the leaf one more time from coloured card of your choosing. This is a Rose...

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and a lovely New Year. Today's card features the Altenew Flowing Hearts stencil and it is two stencils in one. It is perfect for double stencilling and this card creates such an impact with a simple technique.  Written and photos for Double Stencilling:  Start off by trimming down a piece of Gina K Soft Stone cardstock to 5.25" x 4.
