Bumbleberry Blog — altenew embossing paste

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.

This Altenew stamp set is still available to purchase, so even if you've not got it you can still pick a set up and craft away! Written and photos Mixing old...

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. Sometimes, when I think about mixed median, I think it is very messy and needs lots of layers. But in my crafty world, it doesn't have to me. I've created this clean and simple mixed media card with a few different products along with a clean and simple sentiment. You could easily change up the sentiment for any you prefer to suit the occasion.  Written and photos Clean & Simple Mixed Media Card:  To start off, adhere the Altenew Feathered Leaves stencil to a piece of Plum Punch...
