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!

  • More amazing Team Fall swap cards!


    Here are three more beautiful cards my Flowerbug's Team made for our August card swap: 

    Jacki made this super colorful card using the Plaid Tidings and 6" designer series papers.  She cut 1" strips and arranged them using the diagonal technique I shared here: 

    Her greeting is from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set seen here and the tag is from the Celebration Label dies here. 

    Deloris created this pretty card with the Arrange a Wreath Bundle seen here.  It's full of die-cuts and stamps for multiple reasons & seasons!  Her colors are Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze & Mint Macaron.  I really love that greeting sign!  It's actually an image in the set!

    Karen created this one with the Love of Leaves bundle seen here. 

    Her colors are Early Espresso, Vanilla, Soft Suede, Cinnamon Cider, Crushed Curry and Gold foil. The designer paper strip is from the Gilded Autumn DSP.  I absolutely love the stitching on these dies and that die-cut that creates the stitched lines for texture is the bomb!

  • Gorgeous Fall Swaps from the Flowerbug’s!


    Today I'm sharing a few of the amazing cards my Flowerbug's Team swapped this weekend.  The theme was Fall cards. 

    Annette made this first one using the Rooted in Nature bundle.  

    You may not see it well but she used the leaf dies in this set to create a textured White background.  Her colors are Cinnamon Cider & Rich Razzleberry.  A unique, Asian inspired card!

    Paula made this one using the Autumn Goodness bundle.  It's a fun fold too where the front, middle is the card opening! That piece is 3 3/4" X 8 1/2" folded in half. 

    The pretty designer paper is the Gilded Autumn specialty paper.  This bundle includes dies that cut out the flowers and the wheelbarrow.  

    Candace made this one with two stamp sets; the Life is Beautiful for the leaves and greeting and the Way to Goat set for the goat who's kicking up the leaves!  Super fun and colorful!
