Cheers to You Bokeh Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, my friends, and Happy Monday! Hope you all had a wonderful Holiday weekend. Sadly I had to work but was able to enjoy a couple of Christmas Dinners with my friends and family.

As we approach the end of the year and this card reminds me of all the twinkly lights of the season. Today's Bokeh Background Card could be used for so many occasions, a birthday, a retirement, just because, New Year's, really any excuse to celebrate a friend! So let me tell you how this came together.

CARD RECIPE

To create this card I began by blending the background circles using the Polka Dot Background Stencils and various distress oxide inks, see colors listed below. The blending was done on a dark blue textured panel. Once the Polka Dots were done I then went back and added black soot distress oxide ink around the edges to intensify the background.


Next, I die-cut 4 layers of the Cheers Dies and the You Buzzword Dies, 3 layers from black cardstock, and a top Silver Glitter layer. They were then stacked and glued together onto the background layers that were cut from vellum.

To complete the sentiment I stamped out the "to" in white ink using a stamp from the Cheers stamp set.

Finally, I finished off this beauty by adding all the sequin bling!

I hope you love this Cheers to You Bokeh Card as much as I do. Thank you all for the support throughout this past year. Today's post will be my last for 2021. I am definitely in need of a break and will be taking this time to enjoy myself with the family. See you all in 2022! 


Thank you for stopping by and until next year... Happy Crafting!

Happy 2019 New Years Rainbow Bokeh Card | Honey Bee Stamps


Can you believe 2018 is almost over!?! I sure can't 😲 

Not sure about the rest of you but this year has just flown by in a blink of an eye! I have so much to be thankful for this year, especially for all the opportunities this Crafty Community has brought me. With that said, I am looking forward to 2019 and hope I can figure out how to better balance work, family and crafting so that it won't feel like I am burning a candle at both ends.😵

For today's card, I wanted to create a party on paper and hopefully, that comes across.

CARD DETAILS

To create this card, I began by blending out distress oxide inks onto Bristol paper in somewhat of diagonal rainbow order (see links below for colors). I then used all of Polka Dot Background Stencils to create the Bokeh effect on the rainbow background by simply using a baby wipe to lift color from the circles. 

Once the background was completely dry, I used the dotted pattern stamp from the Bitty Patterns stamp set to add confetti to the edge of the background and then used gold embossing to heat set the sprinkles.

Next, I ran the background panel through the die cutting machine with the largest Deckle Edge Frame Die and then attached it to an A2 card base using foam tape. The letters I used comes from the Bee Bold Alphabet Dies and the numbers come from the Bee Bold Numeric Dies which were all diecut three times, stacked and glued together.
