Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. I had a real urge to create a mixed media card today, and I wanted to do this with a Christmas card. It isn't necessarily a traditional style Christmas card, more of a subtle nod to Christmas, other than the obvious sentiment on the front. If you're unsure where the start with mixed media, just remember to break it down into layers, building up the card with different media. I went for a white an red theme, as I'm sure you can get some white poinsettias too,...

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. I'm back after a long break but with I've got a beautiful modern Christmas card that will wow! Many companies are coming out with a range of Christmas dies, stamps and hot foil plates for all styles of Christmas cards.

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. One way to stretch your supplies is to use other florals to make a Christmas wreath. A secret tip to make this work is to use a classic Christmas colour combo of red, green and gold to take a normal floral and create a Christmas feel. Here, I've turned the New Day Floral stamp and die set into a Christmas wreath bursting off the page. Add a little gold splatter and Christmas sentiment and the recipient is none the wiser.  Written and photos - Creating a Christmas...

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. One thing I love with Catherine Pooler Designs is the pattern paper list on the front the ink colours that coordinate with the paper. Now if you struggle to put colours together, then this is the perfect solution for you. Here you can easily take inspiration from pattern paper and use this to help create a beautiful card that looks cohesive in no time. This card uses the lovely Touch of Frost pattern paper which has a beautiful soft colour palette featuring colours from the Spa ink...
