Bokeh Technique with Die Cuts

Hello and welcome to my blog, all things beautiful!

 I hope your day is going well and you are finding some time to be creative.

Today's card is an example of the Bokeh Technique. This technique has been around for a while. If you haven't tried it yet and would like to, you can find a video tutorial linked under my tutorial page.

For this card I also added a frame and some layered die cuts for added interest. I'll list the supplies I used below.

Little Girl Birthday

Hello and welcome to my blog, all things beautiful!

 I hope your day is going well and you are finding some time to be creative.

Today is a quick post. I made this card a while back and I'm just now getting it onto the blog. 

If you like to purchase my card you can find it here at my shop.

I grabbed some punches, patterned papers, gems 

I used Copic markers to color in the image, added the flowers, gems and metal butterfly accents.

I also stamped a coordinating envelope. it was my crafty goal this year to include a decorated envelope for each card and if possible some coordinating image inside the card too. So far so good on the resolution!

Have a Great day!

Masculine Window Birthday Card

Hey There! Welcome to All Things Beautiful!

 I hope your day is going well and you are finding some time to be creative.

Today's card is a window card; you can find a tutorial for making window cards under my tutorial tab or by clicking here. 

If you like to purchase my card you can find it here at my shop.

I die-cut the window, stamped the sentiment on a white background, cut a strip of card stock and used my small sewing machine to stitch directly onto it.

Here is a close up of the stitching and twine.

I thought it might be nce to carry the zig zag pattern onto the envelope with the chevron stamping.

Have a Great day!

Fall Pocket Letter

 i There! Welcome to All Things Beautiful!

Today is a Pocket Letter post. If you've never made a Pocket Letter and want to know more you can check out the tutorial I have posted under my Tutorial tab.

Anyhoo, I made 2 fall Pocket letters this time. I figured while I was taking the time to make all the layered Cricut cut-outs i might as well make 2.

    

Here is a sample of the accordion fold pocket card I included

 Here is a mini manila folder with a few goodies I tucked inside.

 I made a little mini notebook, a shaker window, a mini coin envelope and a mini greeting card.

 Here is a close up of some more of the pocket goodness!

Hope you enjoyed my post on my fall pocket letter. I hope you give this fun project a try.

Have a wonderful day!
