It is Spring in California, so it's another wonderful sun-shining day.  Here is a pretty and easy hand-crafted card to create.  With a stencil or masking technique you can create a custom stencil that will deliver a warm hand-stamped card.

One card, two ways.  This card can flow either landscape or portrait.  Using the Sunburst Thinlits Die on the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine and Magnetic Platform you create a custom die.  

Using the Stamping Sponges, the Crushed Curry and Daffodil ink pads and Re Inkers (In Refills) it is so easy and fun to create this cool look.  (Crafting Tip:  I always purchase an Ink Refill when I purchase an ink pad - you never know when you may need it.)

This new Brokeh Technique is fun and easy but pretty messy - lol.  It creates a photo image of bubble like images like light reflecting.  

Create a bubble like stencil.  Using our Window Sheets and the Circle Framelits on the Big Shot Magnetic Platform and Die-Cutting Machine you can create it in any method that you want.  You want a random look and with the variety of Circle Framelits you can do that easily!

Laying the Adventure Bound Designer Series Paper down (it's super trendy to stamp on photographs).  This collection of Designer Series Paper is images - like photographs - that match our colors!  YAY!  

Using your stencil to create bubbles is easy.  With your Stampin' Sponges in the Whisper White craft ink pad.  Rub to create these bubbles.  You can move your stencil around to overlap as you deem fit.

Your surface and fingers will get pretty messy.  See my blog for more on this technique!

What a lovely image!  Creating this base gives me freedom on what to add my sentiment or other accents.  Stamping the 'I think you're pretty swell' sentiment from the Big on You stamp set looks great.  It's easy when you have all the tools on hand and looks clean and pretty.

Thanks to the help of my Color Coach - it paired the Soft Sky with Rich Razzleberry.  This helps to design a WOW hand-stamped card that is stylish in color.

I introduced this technique in a Sneak Peak to my Gettin' Crafty Stampin' Stampers Newsletter last week.  It is such fun to see how different you can make this project.  You, too, can be part of this newsletter and see the exclusive tutorials, discounts and more - for FREE!

Start by Sponging the Whisper White card stock (4"x 5-1/4") with the Soft Sky ink and the Rich Razzleberry ink in a fun pattern.  Keep each sponge with their stamp pad - to avoid mixing the colors on the ink pad.

 At our recent Team Meeting (the Last Saturday afternoon of each month it even includes dinner) we created awesome hand-stamped cards, had awards, door prizes, tutorials, ideas, fun and crafting - whew - we even did swaps of cards as a bonus fun accent to the meeting!  I couldn't resist going an extra fun mile to deliver a WOW hand-stamped card that told my dear friends how very AWESOME they are!!  I would love to have YOU Join My Gettin' Crafty Stampin' Team - it's a great deal and 9 years ago last week I signed up to get the discount and have been blessed with so very much more.

Create the bubble like technique of Bokeh needs a circle filled template.  Using a Window Sheet (this makes it easy to see where the bubbles go and over lap) and the Circles Collection Framelits you can create any form of random pattern.  Using the Circles Collection Framelits on the Big Shot Magnetic Board and Die-Cutting Machine it's quick and easy to create a custom stencil!  (Wash off, re-use and keep this stencil for future use!)

This technique is allllll about the layers and random look.  So see how it started out and as each layer is added, moving the stencil around to find the 'perfect' look/spot.  

I started out using the Whisper White Craft Ink Pad to create the base 'pale' bubbles.  It did pick up the colors sponged on the base.  I would recommend allowing the first sponged base to dry for a while before adding the Whisper White craft ink. See the bottom first box above.

It soooo needs more, more interest and contrast.  Using a the template in the Soft Sky ink pad to crate a new layer of bubbles overlapping the Whisper White ones.  

Stamping the sentiment from the Big News stamp set in Rich Razzleberry ink so highlight how awesome My Gettin' Crafty Stampin' Team is!  Add more interest using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the 2013-15 Sequin Assortment to add sparkle.

I did warn you - lol.  Yes, you will get MESSY!  Sometimes it is worth getting messy to create a dynamic hand-crafted card, isn't it?

The new Artisan Embellishment Kit is a lovely combination of romantic embellishments.  The two die-cut sheets are breath-taking!  With the Roses as a fun way to highlight how you can have multiple uses for these die-cuts, like a stencil!  

Use the Pink Pirouette and Blushing Bride ink pads with the Stampin' Sponges.  Hold the stencil/die-cut down on the Very Vanilla card stock.  Dab the pattern (don't rub, it's delicate) with the Pink Pirouette ink first.  Add depth with the sponging of the Blushing Bride ink.

I am so in love with their love story!  He knew how special she was and had carried the ring for ages to propose on their 7 month Anniversary!  I'm so excited to see all that God has in store for these two.

Accent the stenciled roses with the Blushing Bride rosette trim.  With 1 yard of these lovely roses, use multiples or a single rose like here.

With our oldest and Tiffany having become engaged this New Year - so my mind comes to some fun new outfits in my future - lol.  I adore this elegant dress - and if I can get it, I will so be wearing this for upcoming wedding related events!  It's easy to see where this dress can inspire a hand-stamped card.
