Bumbleberry Blog — Concord and 9th

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. We often by a product with a project in mind, but then struggle to use it for another design. Here I have 5 cards showing you how to stretch your supplies for multiple cards designs. One tip I find that helps is to choose a colour scheme to create with and then change the card base sizes and shapes to create variation. You'll also find these cards in the newly release Die-cutting Essentials magazine, issue 66 released on the 25th of June. So let's get started! Written...

I'm very much a character stamper and alcohol marker girl.  So water-coloring, is not  my thing. But I love the look, and admire some of the greats out in this industry. But this technique is truly fall proof.        Products Concord & 9th Forever Flower Stamp Set https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/collections/concord-9th/products/forever-flower Stamp Positioner Distress Oxides in  Combi 1 Tumbled Glass & Salty Ocean Combi 2 Abandoned Coral & Aged Mahogany Combi 3 Picked Raspberry & Wilted Violet Versamark ink pad...

Hey lovelies! Happy Easter!This week I'm sharing a simple friendship card, I love the "Mix Tape" stamp set from Concord & 9th, it's perfect for any music lover! I cut a panel from white card stock using the second largest of Mama Elephant's "Basic Rectangles" Creative Cuts and secured it in my Misti stamping platform using the magnets.

When I had finished stamping my pattern I stamped my sentiment using...
