Bokeh, Bokeh
Talk about a fun technique. The bokeh (BOH-kay) technique is a photography term. The lense of the camera blurs the background with circular highlights to focus on the subject. Or something like that. The background is first sponged randomly with three colors of ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock until the cardstock is completely covered. To make the circles, make a template using Window Sheets and the 3 smallest circle framlets. Then use a sponge dauber with white craft ink to add the circles.
This is so cool and your card is like snowflakes. No one card is alike. Note how the bling pulls your eye to the sentiment. Its awesome!

Aloha
The summer is here and the temperature outside makes me want to relax on a beach, read a good book & sip on something cool. OK its a nice thought but not realistic. So I'll just stay home in the cool air and make a card that reminds me of a beach. Be real & stay cool!

Zoo Babies
I attended the baby shower for Anthony and Shakarri Hamilton of Dublin, Ohio on Saturday. I am so proud of this devoted couple so my card to them had to have multiple WOW factors. The Zoo Babies stamp set makes a perfect baby shower card. The pristine cuts from the Dies by Dave framelits, popped the adorable giraffe and rhinoceros (for some reason I keep calling him a hippo) for first WOW. The second WOW is inside the card with a coordinating die cut gift card holder announced by that cutie potooty toucan.
A handmade card lets the recipient know how much you care. What was tucked inside the gift card holder may fade from their minds over time, but the card will stay in their hearts forever.
