  Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. Most of the time, you reach for acetate to create your shaker cards, but why not use vellum instead.

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. I hope your new year is off to a good start. The stamp set I'm using today has been in my possession for a few months but I have only just used it. I have gotten the stamp set out several times and my craft mojo was lacking and have never made anything with it. But I had some crafty success on Saturday and I love how it turned out, as though I am sending some a bunch of flowers in the post to go with the...
