 Good Morning This week I am showing you a different way of using your stencils. As I usually use my ink pads and blender brushes, I wanted to give things a shake up. If like me you have loads of sprays sitting around doing nothing they are fantastic for using with your stencils.

Hi everybody! Now, there's still time to get your Christmas cards made and I have a quick, easy and fun idea using one of the new dies from Hero Arts, City Window Fancy Die. I think this is going to go quickly as it's amazing!  It's technically not a Christmas die but that's how I've used it today and it's beautiful! Instructions Die cut the City Window and snip out the building design.  Ink blend the very top if it with Speckled Egg Distress Ink and put aside.  Take the waste from the window die cut and ink blend with Distress...

 Welcome, As you may or may not know I'm always unable to not purchase any stamps or dies which have a flower stall image. As a child I watch my Big Brother selling flowers from his, in the town I grew up in. So I guess it gives me happy memories.

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...
