Bokeh Technique

Someone call the doctor! I'm seeing spots!

Good morning my crafty friends! We had a great day of stamping in class yesterday. There will be pics to follow, but today I'd like to show you another card from our technique shoebox swap. I made this card but it was designed by Debbie Kramer ( http://debbiekramer.blogspot.com/ ) 

This is the Bokeh technique. It was done by punching 3 different sized circles out of a piece of Vellum Cardstock and blotting White Craft Ink through the vellum mask randomly on a piece of Whisper White cardstock that we had sponged. Isn't it cool?! 

The sentiment is from the Love Sparkles Stamp Set. Rhinestones were added for extra sparkle. I just love this technique. It's fun to do. There's no right or wrong way to do it, you just sponge away with your sponge daubers. 

Won't you try it today?

Stay tuned for tomorrow. I'm having a Throwback Thursday. 

Happy Stamping!

March Paper Pumpkin Alternate Project

In light of Easter being tomorrow, I'd like to share a project I created using last month's Paper Pumpkin kit. What is Paper Pumpkin, you might ask? It's a box full of crafting fun delivered to your mailbox every month for only $19.95 per month. It has everything you need to create the project. This particular one had 9 cards and 9 treat bags (not shown) included! That's a lot of bang for your buck and you don't even have to get out of your pjs! 😉😜

The cards and envelopes were only 3"x3". I wanted to make full-size A2 cards, so I glued the card and envelope onto a 4¼" x 5½" piece of cardstock with a 4" x 5¼" layer of Playful Palette Designer Series Paper on it (which is on sale right now! 😃) And viola! A2 card with a fun bunny card to slide out.

Would you like to give Paper Pumpkin a try? Here's a link for more details:
