Bee HappiLeaCraftin with Tamara

     I am having so much fun water coloring again this weekend! I was watching a video on YouTube (Hopefully I can find it again) yesterday doing a really cool technique I really wanted to try. The technique is called The Bokeh Technique  and there are tons of videos on YouTube and Pinterest if you need more inspiration 😉       I pretty much cased the color scheme from the video for this one, I really LOVED the colors! I love bright and colorful cards, so eye catching.      Anyway... I followed her instructions on the video to do the background and I did it on water color paper. You can also get a very similar look by just sponging but I am having fun and really enjoying learning to water color!  I also made a template using the Layering Circle Framelits Dies first of all.      I have to admit that the circles really pop in the picture, I didn't think I could see them that well so I decided to put some of my gli...

    I had a great day in my card room today... well... I had a great weekend in there! I managed to get a lot accomplished for my group and the Mail A Card Monday cards.      First thing I did was get my projects for group night as I have the first 4 coming this Thursday and had nothing done before yesterday 😲  The projects for this month are going to be pretty simple but I really like them!      The first is a cute little treat older done with the Envelope Punch Board. There are lots of video tutorials on YouTube and through Pinterest for those who see and like them.      The second is a card that... as usual... I cased from one I found on Pinterest. I really like the Amazing You stamp set & Framelits from this years Sale-A-Bration brochure.     These next 5 cards are from a Past Paper Pumpkin kit. It was from July 2016.  They are cased and the originals can be seen on Pinterest.  They are doc...

     I just love this card and to be honest... I originally had no intention of getting this Stamp Set or Framelits from the 2018 Sale-A-Bration Mini but I got enough from the Occasions Catalog to get everything that I did wanted so I thought... what the heck! I am SOOOO glad I decided to get them!      Stampin' Up! showcased it in the Demonstrator magazine Stampin' Success that is exclusive to Demonstrators. It is full of great ideas and this is the first one I have CASed out of it! I just loved the card but I did put my own little spin on it 😉 I added the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper and the Whisper White matt between the Crumb Cake layers.      In the Stampin' Success magazine it is given to us to use for a class but in my opinion, there are too many items from other Bundles and things to use in a class. For my classes, I try to stick to a fairly simple design and using just one bundle. Although, I guess this only uses 2 diff...
