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!

  • Beautiful Fancy Phrases cards with video!


    I made this pretty card on Facebook Live last week.  It's cased from Marelle Taylor. It's close to a Black & White with a pop of color; a real favorite of mine. 

    It features the lovely Fancy Phrases stamp set.  If you like flowers and like to color you'll love it! 

    The scalloped die on the side is from the Painted Poppies dies.  The punches are the Label Me Fancy & Timeless Label. They layer wonderfully! 

    Other products: Everyday Label punch to achieve the notched corners, Blends markers in Magenta Madness, Just Jade, Daffodil Delight and the Polka Dot Tulle ribbon.

    Measurements: 

    • White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", front panel is 3" X 4" plus scraps for punch & die-cuts
    • Black is 3" X 4 5/8" 

    I also made a pretty Origami fold card with the Flowers for Every Season paper pack.. Here's a link to the video on Facebook or click below to watch.

  • 3 cards with my ‘Life is Beautiful’ MDA stamp set!


    You may have spied my stamp set in a previous post, but I haven't shared much yet!  You can be sure I will be posting quite a few projects with it.

    If you didn't know, it's a stamp set I helped create as a perk of achieving a Million Dollars in sales in my career with Stampin' Up!  It's so cool to have my name posted under the stamp set in the upcoming 2020 August – December Stampin' Up! catalog! 

    I shared three technique cards using the Life is Beautiful stamp set on FB live last week.   I did upload it to YouTube so everyone can watch. *see below 

    The top left card is created by stamping and heat embossing the leaves with White embossing powder.  Then coloring over with Blends alcohol markers.  Such a cool effect and actually fun to color too.  The dark card stock covers most mistakes if you go off the image a bit. 

    The colors are Bermuda Bay, Black and Mango Melody.  The pretty label tags are die-cuts from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here. 

    I wanted to have a play with a rainbow style card using the distinktive dots in the set.  

    I used Gorgeous Grape, Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point here.  The greeting is from another MDA set called Ridiculously Awesome. 

    Next is a simple baby wipe technique.  

    I stamped the tree twice to create a wider trunk and more branches.  The colors here are Coastal Cabana, Soft Suede with Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock dots.
