Bumbleberry Blog — heat embossing

  Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. Today's card was inspired after taking a class over on the Altenew Academy site, and this class was called 'with a twist'.

With this idea, instead of a full front card, the shape of the card was influence by the shape of the stamp. Whatsmore I added some stamping inside the card peeping out the front for a little more interest.  Written and photos - Creating...

Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. The cards today show you how to colour stamping on coloured cardstock, show you how to do this on light and dark coloured cardstock. For these cards, I've use the lovely Altenew Watercolour Doodles stamp set along with a great sentiment die. To add more interest, I have added shine to the cards with both embossing powders and metallic cardstock. So let's get started.  Written and photos Coloured stamping on coloured cardstock:  For this first card, we want to stamp on dark coloured cardstock. The trick for...

However, I decided to one technique to create these two cards. It is a great away to combine your stamps and dies, and stretching...
