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!

  • Another way to use the Border Basics dies – cut once for two card front!


    Here's the third card I made for last week's live video; it also features the Masterfully Made designer paper, Wanted to Say dies and the Border Basics dies.  

    My colors are Lemon Lime Twist, Cherry Cobbler and White.   The flowers in this pretty designer paper are so real; you almost want to touch them.  

    You can see this beautiful designer paper here.  It's discounted in June; down to $10.62.

    The photo below shows both cards made with the same designer paper.  I loved this pattern so well I didn't change it up for the second card. 

    The greeting and hearts are all from the Wanted to Say dies seen here.  

    The pretty scalloped stitched border is made with the Border Basics dies seen here. Start with a piece of White card stock measuring 4" X 5 1/4" and cut it in half with the scalloped die-cut.  Now you have the start for two cards! 

    Below are all three cards made with this three products, all seen on the video below.

  • Cut once for two card fronts with the Border Basics dies; video tips & tutorial too


    I shared one of the cards I made in last week's video and here's another one. Both feature the same three products: Masterfully Made designer paper, Wanted to Say dies and the Border Basics dies.  

    I used the White die-cut leftover from the card I shared yesterday on this card; basically getting two cards from one die-cut!

    The Border Basics dies are wonderful and so versatile since they die-cut the stitched edge on both sides.  Below is a photo of the inside of the card: 

    The Celebrate, Happy Birthday, stars and present die-cuts are all from the Wanted to Say dies seen here: 

    Here are both cards I shared; each with a different piece of the Masterfully Made CS.  As you can see I added a thin line of card stock to rest the 'Celebrate' die-cut on. I love the effect!

    You can see this beautiful designer paper here.  It's discounted in June; down to $10.62.

    The photo below shows both cards; one cut for two card front! 

    I cut the right side of the card front off (on the left card) and used that piece on the card on the right. Essentially I cut the card front in half and added it to the card on the right, adding DSP underneath to show off the angles.  One cut; two cards!  

    You can see how I made this card on the video here.  Or click on the photo below to watch. Remember to follow me on Facebook here or on my YouTube channel here.
