  Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. I couldn't make a card featuring Catherine Pooler Design products without including some ink blending. These inks blend beautifully and I love the ink collections as they are ready-made rainbows. I picked Date Night inks from the Party collection to create a fun bright pastel inspired card with some simple rainbow ink blending. So let's continue the celebrations for the 5th Inkaversary!

Hi everybody! Today I'm sharing the cutest stamp set by Colorado Craft Company called, "Big Love". It's adorable, fun to use and covers more than one holiday. This card was so easy to make and really enjoyable.  Instructions Stamp out the little steps using the long happy birthday stamp onto a piece of watercolor card. I've used a piece larger than the finished card as I didn't know where my design would take me. I ended up chopping off the last step and trimming down my panel later on.  Now add your main stacked stamp, carefully aligning it. I've added two...

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. One thing I like about layering stencils in layering ink colours in the process too.

Hi everyone! Today I have a sweet card showcasing the Blossom & Bloom stamp set from Altenew. I absolutely love stamp sets that are great value for money and buy sets like this every month.  The sentiments are also really meaningful, which is so important to me at the moment. I'm still not able to see or visit some of my friends and family and so cards with sentiments are a nice way to let them know I am thinking of them, I miss them, and they are important to me. This is a quicker style than I normally do,...
