Hey lovelies!This week I'm sharing a simple appreciation card using Heffy Doodle's "You're Weird" stamp set! I've always been obsessed with the moon and the opportunity to line up the stamps to make a full moon with this set drew me in! I used my Misti to stamp the first half of the moon with Gina K Amalgam Jet Black ink, cleaned off my stamp and lined it up so that the edges met and stamped the other half. I shaded my moon with a regular drawing pencil and set it with a little hairspray to stop it from smudging....

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. When creating cards, I like to make several at a time with the same set, and this Pierced hexagon die set from Avery Elle is great for this. I kept the three cards within the same colour scheme, showing how easiest is to create 3 different designs, but you can create many more different cards buy simply just changing the colours. So why not create 3 ways to say Thanks with just one die! Written and photos - 3 ways to say Thanks with 1 die: Card...

Hey lovelies!I'm a sucker for all things Halloween, it's my favourite holiday out of them all! So this year I'm getting ready for it a little early with Mama Elephant's "Little Boo Agenda" stamp set! I used my Misti to stamp out the entire set (twice! I don't joke around when it comes to Halloween!) using Gina K's Amalgam Jet Black ink and coloured them with my alcohol markers. I added some highlights and details with a white gel pen and fussy cut them out. I chose the three ghosts I wanted to use for this card and set the...

Hello lovelies!If you know me you know how much I love music and music themed stamp sets are no different! Someone who shares this passion is my wonderful dad, so this week I thought I'd share the card I've made for his birthday this year with you! I fell in love with all the different instruments in Honey Bee Stamps' "Music Speaks" stamp set the minute I saw them and knew I had to have this one! I cut two panels using the largest of Mama Elephant's "Basic Rectangles" Creative Cuts (one from white card stock and the other from...
