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 color combo in this Impressions Abloom card


    Look at this pretty card made almost entirely of die-cuts! 

    I absolutely love these soft colors together!  Pretty in Pink with the new Cloud Cover & White. 

    Measurements:  

    • Card base is 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    • Pink textured layer is 4 1/4" X 2"
    • DSP strip 4 1/4" X 1/2" 
    • White arch is 3 1/4" X 4 1/2", pink greeting arch is 2 1/4" X 1"

    This pretty card is made with the Impressions Abloom bundle seen here.  

    Other products used are the Arches dies, the Mini Corrugated embossing folder and a thin strip of Florals in Bloom DSP too.

    Technique: I sponged the die-cut flowers with coordinating ink to add depth.  Two quick ways to add easy detail and depth to your projects is to use Stampin' Dimensionals and sponging.  It's amazing what sponging can add to your projects! 

    You can see many of the dies in this bundle in the photo below.  

    If you missed the last few project I made with this bundle scroll back a few days here on my blog.

  • A fun layout with the Impressions Abloom bundle; with free project sheet!


    I shared this striking card on last week's video.  It has a color combination I love! 

    The colors include Summer Splash, Strawberry Slush, White & Darling Duckling.  It features the Impressions Abloom bundle seen here.  

    I love the split view of the stamped panel. I did this by stamping first and cutting it into thirds afterwards.  It's simply 3 1/2" X 4 1/2", cut into 1 1/2" panels. 


    Here's a free project sheet for you to print or download.  Click on the following link: Download Impressons Abloom stacked card

    The Impressions Abloom bundle has it all; floral and greeting images with fabulous, coordinating dies.  I'll be sharing a another card made with it this week.  

    This stamp set is both a 2-step set and a distinktive style which means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking.  I've been loving this bundle! Between the flowers, greetings and dies it's a sure winner!  

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and another; both using this wonderful bundle.  I hope you watch it; don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel too!
