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.

Hello lovelies!I'm back this week with a thoughtful card using Brutus Monroe's "Rose Garden" stamp! Roses have a special meaning to me so I had to pick this one up!

I painted both colours on in a random fashion and allowed them to...

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. We love to craft, and I expect we wish we could do it all the time! But we're all human and now and then we might lose our crafty mojo. Therefore creating a card from inspiration can really help get those creative juices flowing. Of course, you don't have to lose your crafty mojo to create from inspiration either. There are so many photos out there that have beautiful colour schemes which can challenge you to create beautiful cards. I took the Color Your Day class on...
