Today I am excited to share with you the Bokeh Technique so you can create a fun background for your next card. Bokeh actually means the visual quality of the out-of-focus areas of a photographic image, especially as rendered by a particular lens. I created my background using Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Pear Pizzazz inks. You will also need a sponge dauber and some Basic White Craft ink.
Hey all, I am so excited to share how you can create your own watercolor backgrounds to create some fabulous cards. All you need is an acrylic block (size of your choice), some Stampin’ Up! inks or refills, a water painter, watercolor paper and of course stamps of your choice.
This is a real fun technique and although I am not very good at it (yet), but I hope to experiment with a variety of different colors. I hope you will go crazy and create something beautiful.

It might just be my imagination, but the weeks seemed to be going by quicker and quicker. I remember when I was younger and days seemed to go by so slowly. I guess now that I can choose crafting over chores, the days just fly by. I hope you are all having a great holiday weekend and I guess I should have prepared a Let Freedom Ring video for today, but alas, I did not.
However, it is SALE-A-BRATION time and that is a great reason to celebrate with fireworks because for every $50 you spend during the months of July and August, you will earn a free stamp set, paper or some bling. Click on the catalog below to see all the goodies you can earn free this summer.
Today I chose to feature the new Happiness Abounds Bundle featured in the 2022-2023 annual catalog. I also showcased this bundle in my free card tutorial for my July Newsletter, same set but different card.CLICK HERE to sign up for my monthly newsletter.
You can also celebrate Christmas in July, by attending my special stamping event at the end of the month. CLICK HEREfor more details so you don’t miss out on the fun. To get you in the mood, the July to December holiday mini catalog is also available, see image below.
Hello my stamping friends……I’m back with another Make It Monday tutorial and apologize for missing the last two weeks. If any of you have ever lost a loved one, then I am sure you understand. As much as we love crafting sometimes you just need to take sometime off to be with those who need you most, but I am excited to share with you a sneak peek at the Fond of Autumn Bundle that will be available beginning July 1st.
Thanks for your patience and understanding-I am sure you are going to love, love, love this new bundle.
For those of you who missed yesterday’s post, there will not be a Make It Monday video today. I hope to return next week.
Yesterday’s message
As many of you know my mom has been battling cancer. It has been a long and emotional week, as my mom lost her battle with cancer yesterday.
The good news is that she now has a beautiful place in heaven just for her. I am so grateful she is now resting in the arms of her Savior. I have been blessed to walk this most difficult journey with her and even more blessed to be able to spend the last 10 days providing around the clock care for her with some of my siblings.
While my day to day blogging continued during this time, I do not have the mental capacity to create a Make It Monday video for tomorrow. I do have my card ready to go for Tuesday, and after that some of my dear friends have offered to create blog posts for me. I will sharing their creations with you over the next couple of weeks. Thank you so much for your understanding!
Thanks for stopping by! Until next time, be blessed, Renae
