Hi there! It’s Kittenmoose today on the blog and I’m sharing some thoughts on using your materials plus a gorgeous card using the Statement Flowers set from Altenew.  I don’t know about you but I get exhausted with all the new launches from companies! We all get caught up in the frenzy of new stamps, dies, inks, stencils, and tools but how much do we actually use?! I went through a period of buying so much it turned into a collection rather than raw materials I used to craft to. Or I’d use a set once then move on to the...

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. Today's post takes a look at creating 2 for 1 cards within stencils and ink sprays. This is such a great way to get more from a stencil, change the design slightly and also not let your ink spray go to waste! I'm featuring the lovely Fine Tulle stencil but any stencil you have in your stash will easily work. I've paired it with a graphic style and use bold die-cut sentiments to finish the cards off.  Written and photos Simple mixed media card with stencils - 2...

Well Hello, and Welcome to this weeks blog post.  Many of us struggle when it comes to cards for men. With the May release from concord and 9th last month, I fell in love with Sketched Dots Turnabout stamp. It has a contemporary feel to the design. In fact it is a great starting point to a more masculine card.

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. If you love to use embossing paste with your stencils, then you'll also love to create your own custom coloured paste to use. It is so simple to create custom coloured embossing paste and even if you don't have a lot of colours you can still create with this technique. I used some re-inkers to colour my paste - just as it was the easiest way, but you can easily use your ink pads, watercolours, sprays etc.  I've combined the paste with the beautiful In The Jungle stencil...
