Bumbleberry Blog — Gina K Cardstock

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. So who says leaves have to be green?! I thought this Leafy Decor stamp from PinkFresh Studio would be a great stamp for partial die-cutting to create a border card. And I think it turned out quite well. I decided to go for an alternative colour scheme, as I wanted to play with colour more, rather than stay with traditions. Hopefully, you'll think it's a success - for me, it is a success!

Hi There Crafty Friends, I'm back today with a pretty little rainbow cake design. I've noticed rainbow cake is all the trend at the moment.  Here my take on a yummy slice of cake card. I also add my bonus card today showing a masking technique.     Products My Favorite Things birthday Take The Cake https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/products/birthday-take-the-cake?_pos=1&_sid=42ba02cd5&_ss=r Neenah Cardstock 80lb https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/products/neenah-classic-crest-80lb-8-5x11?_pos=3&_sid=e6d6736d1&_ss=r Gina K Amalgam Ink Pad https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/products/obsidian-amalgam-ink-pad?_pos=1&_sid=344b5aaac&_ss=r Gina K Black Cardstock https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/products/heavy-base-weight-card-stock-black-onyx?_pos=1&_sid=6c8236d69&_ss=r  Alcohol Markers White Jelly Roll Pen Gina K Connect Glue https://www.bumbleberrys.co.uk/products/connect-glue?_pos=1&_sid=a40778682&_ss=r Nuvo Drops Crystal Drops (gloss in rainbow colours) 6 x 6 inch Card Blank   Bonus Card...

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. When I was browsing the Bumbleberry shop, the Flower Garden stamp set from ALtenew stood out and I knew it would be perfect to colour in. If you're like me and don't always want to spend hours colouring in, this stamp set is perfect for loose watercolouring with heat embossing. This technique allows you to add colour but you don't have to be perfect and it will still look amazing.  Written and photos Loose Watercoloured Florals:  To start off, stamp a selection of the florals and leaves...

  Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. When I saw this Bold Bunch stamp set I thought I need to pair it with a bold design. To do this, I wanted the stamping to really pop off the card so one way to make your stamping pop is to use bright colours against dark coloured cardstock. Gina K Designs has a whole range of fabulous colours and I used two of my favourite dark colours of hers for these two cards.  Written and photos Making your stamping pop:  Start off by placing the...

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. As soon as I saw this Floral Focus from My Favorite Things I knew it needed to be the centre of attention and the best way to highlight a stamp such as this is to use a monochromatic scheme and add some shading with pencils. Using a base colour of cardstock like this helps make it easier to make the colouring look effortless, and anybody could achieve this.  Written and photos Monochromatic Pencil highlighting:  To start off, trim a piece of Gina K Double Denim cardstock down...
