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"

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!

Happy Thanksgiving!

November 26, 2020

I hope you can enjoy a very Happy Thanksgiving today! I know many of us cannot be with the family or friends like we're used to. It's so difficult with this pandemic; tough times and even tougher decisions!

I received this cute card from my friend Pat this week. I wanted to share it with you with my seasonal wishes for you and your family.

Save

She used my Million Dollar stamp set; Life is Beautiful seen here. You might think this is for Halloween; but she has a two black cats and I have one so this fit us both!

If you aren't on Facebook you might not know about my stamp set challenge. I found out how many of these stamp sets have been sold so far worldwide and had my FB Live followers guess. What's your guess??

Save

As of two weeks ago Stampin' Up! has sold over 16,000 sets! That's 176% over their predicted amount! Whoop! I'm thrilled with how you all like it!

I bet this year many of us will be giving gift cards more than ever. This social distancing is hard but during the Holiday's it's going to be so tough! If you are missing celebrating with your family this year I feel for you. Holidays are meant to be enjoyed together. But if it keeps us and them safe I'm sure it's the right decision. But we don't have to like it, right?!

Here's a fun gift card holder you can make to give those gift cards in.

Save
