Hi There Crafty Friends, I'm back today with a pretty little rainbow cake design. I've noticed rainbow cake is all the trend at the moment.  Here my take on a yummy slice of cake card. I also add my bonus card today showing a masking technique.     Products My Favorite Things birthday Take The Cake https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/products/birthday-take-the-cake?_pos=1&_sid=42ba02cd5&_ss=r Neenah Cardstock 80lb https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/products/neenah-classic-crest-80lb-8-5x11?_pos=3&_sid=e6d6736d1&_ss=r Gina K Amalgam Ink Pad https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/products/obsidian-amalgam-ink-pad?_pos=1&_sid=344b5aaac&_ss=r Gina K Black Cardstock https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/products/heavy-base-weight-card-stock-black-onyx?_pos=1&_sid=6c8236d69&_ss=r  Alcohol Markers White Jelly Roll Pen Gina K Connect Glue https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/products/connect-glue?_pos=1&_sid=a40778682&_ss=r Nuvo Drops Crystal Drops (gloss in rainbow colours) 6 x 6 inch Card Blank   Bonus Card...

Hello lovelies!This week I'm sharing a birthday card using Lawn Fawn's "Year Ten" stamp set! I love the cute little cacti and the punny sentiment! I cut a panel from white card stock using the second largest of Mama Elephant's "Basic Rectangles" Creative Cuts. I used the "Candy Store" stencil from Heffy Doodle at an angle on my panel and blended Scattered Straw Distress Oxide Ink over it. I removed the stencil and splattered some water over it with a paintbrush, cleaning up any excess water with a paper towel. I masked off the white portion of my panel with...

    Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. It's rare for me to make a purely die-cut card or one with not much stamping, but today I've got 5 for you!

So operation company re-organisation was put in to practice.   Cardstock and Pattered Papers      This Is Lawn Fawn Cilantro Cardstock, I then went through my pattered papers, from Lawn Fawn...

Hello lovelies!This week I'm sharing two cards I made using the Hero Arts "Fresh Citrus" Bold Prints background stamp! I love these stamps, they make it easy to produce multiple cards! I cut a panel from white card stock using the largest of Mama Elephant's "Basic Rectangles" Creative Cuts. I used my Misti stamping tool to stamp the background on to my panel with Gina K's Amalgam Jet Black ink, making sure to remove the foam from my Misti beforehand. I stamped a small portion on a small piece of scrap card stock I had left over from a previous...
