Stampin Up Sale-a-Bration and Occasions

Stampin Up Sale-a-Bration

Today is a day off school. A great day to catchup on housework, school planning, grading and STAMPING.  I haven't had a lot of time to stamp lately so I welcome the chance to try a variety of things I have seen lately. I apologize ahead of time that I cased most of my cards and I have lost who and where I found them. There are so many extremely talented stampers and crafters out there and I truely appreciate all that I learn from them.

Butterfly Thinlit bundle  


   The first set of cards I am posting is from the Butterfly thinlit bundle in the Stampin Up Occasions catalog. The bundle is a great deal since you get both the beautiful thinlits and the Butterfly Basics stampset for 15% less. 

The other two cards are on whisper white, dsp and calypso coral cardstock, again using the butterfly bundle thinlits are various greetings.

Celebrate Today

I needed a few birthday cards so I used the Celebrate Today stamps. On the first one I used Strawberry Slush, Pistachio Pudding,and Brown Sugar(Sounds yummy) . On the second one I used Island Indigo, Tangelo Twist, and Crushed Curry cardstock and ink. I also used black stazon and drew the strings with black. 





Butterfly Basics

On this card I used the Butterfly Basics stampset. I got this stampset with the butterfly thinlit bundle. I also used Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper  that I got for free when I purchased $50 worth of products. These are in the Sale-a-Bration catalog. The paper is a white paper with a glossy white pattern which is perfect coloring using various sponging techniques. The flowers I colored with the new blendabilities markers. I love the look! I didn't include a sentiment so I also have a card when I need it.

Happy New Years Bokeh technique


Happy New Year! 
I figure there is no better time than New Years to start my blog. I am brand new to all this and  just learning all about this blogging so please be patient.  I also thought no better way to start than with a New Years Card.
 These cards are done with the Bokeh technique. So what is Bokeh?
 Wikipedia defines it as: In photography, bokeh (Originally /?bo?k?/, /?bo?ke?/ BOH-kay — also sometimes pronounced as /?bo?k?/ BOH-k?, Japanese: [boke]) is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens. Bokeh has been defined as “the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light”.    
BokehThis is one example of a Bokeh photograph.
 Bokeh makes photographs visually appealing, forcing us to focus our attention on a particular area of the image. The word comes from Japanese language, which literally translates as “blur”.
A similar effect can be captured using inks and stamping...
This is one card using this technique, Blackberry Bliss ink, Making Spirits Bright Stamp Set and  the NEW Chalk Inks from Stampin’ Up.

  I will post the whole list of supplies shortly. For now I am taking one thing at a time.
