Well Hello Crafty Friends, I'm very excited to bring you my card today. I have a two year old granddaughter, whom is obsessed with Baby Shark. When I saw the latest release from My favorite Things I knew I had to have this die. I will be using it in other ways this month, but first of, I created this card for our Amelia.     Product   MFT Baby Shark Die  https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/collections/my-favorite-things/products/die-namics-baby-shark?variant=32542590894162 MFT Sharky Sentiments https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/collections/my-favorite-things/products/sharky-sentiments MFT Make Waves Stencil or Ocean Motion Stencil https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/collections/my-favorite-things/products/ocean-motion-stencil Gina K Inks Blue Lagoon Ink and Stencil Brush https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/collections/gina-k-designs/products/gkd-blue-lagoon-ink-cube?variant=22346540023890 Gina K Passionate Pink...

Hello Crafty Friends, I hope your well, and crafting your way through this difficult. I am trying to work, with some colour theory at the moment. My favorite place to find, colour combinations at the moment is through Pinterest or Pattern Papers in my stash.    So after being inspired I came up with a beautiful masculine combination.     I love pulling inks from my collections and seeing how they work together.     Products   MFT You Float My Boat  https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/products/you-float-my-boat?_pos=1&_sid=0a6232f1a&_ss=r MFT All About Dad Die Namic's https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/products/die-namics-dad?_pos=1&_sid=92e1e6519&_ss=r   MFT All About Dad Stamps (optional) used for Happy...

That's what I decided to do with the Altenew Paint-a-flower Poppy stamp set, and I loved how well it came out that I used it in today's card. I paired the soft colouring with a bold colour on the background and added some soft texture to elevate the image.  Written and photos Watercoloured Poppy with textured background:  To start off, stamp the Altenew Paint-a-flower Poppy onto...

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. This technique speeds up making cards as you can make two cards in one go. Spotlight stamping with coloured inks and die-cutting can create fun and interesting designs adding a focal point fo draw the viewers eye into the card and to the sentiment. For these cards, we're going to use a layering stamp, but if you prefer you can keep it simple with a one layer stamp if you prefer. So let's get started.  Written and photos Spotlight stamping with coloured inks and die-cutting:  Trim two...
