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.

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...

Good Morning, How fantastic is the weather a the moment. I decided to pullout the distress pads, as I'm always pulling the oxides out but never the original. So I thought let go back to the basics.

Good Morning Crafty Friends, I do hope your all keep well. Today I have a blog post showing how to get a the most out of smaller stamp sets. We tend to disregard them, thinking we are better off getting larger sets.  Think again my crafty friends. Here are just three of the techniques using them.      1) Background Stamping a pattern background.  2) Focus Using them to create a focal point.  3) Repetitive  use them more than just once repeating many times.    Products Friendly Hello Stamp Set by Concord & 9th https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/collections/concord-9th/products/friendly-hello Gina K Inks Wild Dandelion,...
