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. 

March Club Brilliant Wings Bokeh Save

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"

March Club Brilliant Wings Bokeh Save

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!

  • Butterfly Bouquet Fun Fold cards with video!

    I truly love the new Butterfly Brilliance products seen here.  They are so easy AND fun to play with.  I made three special fun fold cards on my FB live yesterday.  Scroll down to see the video below:

    Butterfly Bijou card FB Live Save

    This first card makes the most of this beautiful Butterfly Bijou designer paper!  Use the side strips leftover after you die-cut the 6 butterflies from the designer paper.  So cool to make use of the pretty edges!

    Below you can see how it opens as well as the measurements to make more!

    Next is a fun latch card using the Classic Label punch.

    I created my own designer paper by stamping the butterflies on Black CS using White Craft ink.  Easy and quick!  Watch the video below to catch the tips on this fun card.

    I made my own butterfly paper by stamping the butterflies on Black CS using White Craft ink.  So easy and pretty too.  

    Watch the video below to catch the tips on making these fun latch cards. 

    Lastly is a double point fold card.  The two pieces of Designer paper are 2 1/2" X 4" scored 1/2" on the long side.  You need two pieces to attach under the White CS layer. Again, watch the video below to get the details.

  • Butterfly Bouquet & the Origami Window Fold

    Here's another favorite project I've made with the new Butterfly Bouquet products.  Are you a fan of butterflies?

    Butterfly square pop up Save

    I call this unique fold the Origami Window.  It's done by folding a 4 X 4" piece of designer paper a few times.  See details here or watch my video here. 

    The colors are Highland Heather and Pool Party. See the neat texture on the purple CS strip?  That's one of the dies in the Butterfly Wings dies!  You can see them here: 

    Butterfly square pop up Save

    That pretty texture on the inside White square is from the Meadow Moments pair of embossing folders seen here.  They fit in your die-cutting machine but they were made narrow enough to fit in the new Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine too!
