Butterfly wobble & Bokeh technique with video!


I'm excited to share one of my March Club cards with you.  This background is called the Bokeh technique. 

Sponging a background is a big favorite of mine and when you add the Bokeh technique to it you get magic! I created my own dotted mask by punching a bunch of circles from a piece of card stock.  

We made these cards at my March card clubs and they loved it!  I used the Vine Design stamp set as well as the Happy Thoughts set; both are retiring and on the Last Chance list here.  

Measurements:

  • Pacific Point 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    White sponged layer 3 3/4" X 5"
    White layer (under sponged layer) 3 7/8" X 5 1/8"
    White inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
    White greeting strip 1/2" X 5"

I used Pretty Peacock, Pacific Point & Magenta Madness inks as well as the White Craft ink pad for the light colored dots.  You can see the video below.  It's so easy and amazing!

The butterflies are created with the new Brilliant Wing dies seen here. They'll be in the upcoming Annual catalog but are available now too. 

Here is the video; I hope you watch it.  This technique is so fun and unique every single time!  Think of the colors you could use!

  • Gorgeous Wintery Encircled in Nature card with video tutorial


    This is the other card I shared on my weekly Live video last week.  It's one of my favorites this season. There's something elegant about a mostly white card.  

    I added bits of Pretty Peacock in ink and glimmer paper.  The extra White layer is textured with the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder and then I lightly added ink with a Blending Brush. I stamped the trees image plus added a die-cut of the Glimmer Trees. The curvy leaves die and sprig are also part of the dies in the Encircled in Nature bundle seen here. 

    I shared how to make this card on the video below a bit.  Or click here. Don't forget to follow me on YouTube.

  • Encircled in Nature in Autumn colors – free project sheet & video tutorial


    I shared this pretty card on last week's Live video. I featured the Encircled in Nature bundle.

    My colors include Basic Beige, Cajun Craze and Old Olive.  I used Daffodil Delight, Peach Pie and Calypso Coral for the sunset, adding each color softly with Blending Brushes.

    I textured the extra layer (4" X 5 1/4") of Basic Beige with the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder seen here. Then I lightly sponged Basic Beige ink over it with a Blending Brush. I added Cajun Craze & Old Olive ink to the die-cut leaves with. 

    This pretty bundle is one of our Online Exclusives; available while supplies last.  It's already been out for awhile so I'm wondering how much longer it will be available. *if you want it act fast!

    I cut the wreath circle from both layers at the same time, saving one for the sunset layer adhered inside the card. 

    I finished it off with some 2023-25 In Color sparkle gems. Catch the video tutorial below to get the tips on creating this card.
