Butterfly wobble & Bokeh technique with video!

March 29, 2021

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!

Video with Stampin’ Up! Stitched Dies for some easy WOW cards!

November 30, 2020
Look at these fun and unique cards made with the Stitched Triangle dies!

Save

Aren't they neat? Our Stitched dies are quite versatile and can be used in a variety of ways as you can see!

I used the Well Said stamp set, Well Written & Stitched Triangle dies. The DSP is 5 1/4" X 4" and the Vellum ¾" X 4”

These cards were created on last week's FB Live video. If you're not following me yet here's the link to my FB page. Be sure to like & follow so you catch them every week on Tuesdays at 11 am CT.

Check out the Stitched Rectangle cards below. I cut all of the Playful Patterns Designer Paper layers at the same time using just 2 dies.

Save

How did I do it? Start out with a piece measuring 5 1/4" X 4" and choose the 3rd & 6th dies from the outside. Perfect layers!

I then layered the Designer Paper with card stock and added a die-cut greeting from the Best Year stamp set.

Supplies & Measurements:
- Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, & Calypso Coral
- Tasteful Label dies, Detailed Bands dies, rhinestones
- DSP – 5 ¼” X 4”, and cut with dies at 3 ¾” X 3” & 3 1/8” X 1 ¾”
- CS – 4 5/8” X 3 ¼” and 3 3/8” X 2”

Black Friday Special! (Through Sunday too)

November 27, 2020

Do you normally shop on Black Friday? Online or in the stores? I have a feeling there will be a LOT more online shopping this year! That's my plan anyway.

I thought I'd host my own Black Friday special this weekend; just in case you want/need any Stampin' Up! products.

Be sure you consider your crafty friends or family when shopping. Think card kits or Paper Pumpkin! Giving them some special projects to create while they stay at home is a thoughtful gift.

All online orders over $55 this weekend that use this host code NCMAWRKB will receive one of our hand made Multipurpose glue stands!

And if your order is over $75 I'll add a tube of Multipurpose glue too!

Go here to shop but be sure to order between Friday, November 27th through Sunday, November 29th to get this special offer!

Save

I will choose the color unless you message me requesting a certain color. We have a limited supply of some colors.

If you want to purchase one or more they're available in my Shop here.  They are $6 each and shipping is about $3-4 in US. They make great gifts for your stamping friends!

Next weekend I'm having the last Christmas cards class on Saturday. Here are the cards we're making:

It's all about the trees this time! I realized after I grouped them together that each one features a tree.

Class is Saturday, December 5th at 10 am. Class size is limited due to social distancing but there are two spots left. Message me if you'd like to come. You can get the PDF tutorial for this class and the 3 others I had here at my Shop.
