Welcome to day 1 of the Papertrey Ink December countdown! I am thrilled to be playing along this month and showcasing some of the gorgeous designs the team has in store for you this month! Today I start things off with a look at the latest from Betsy Veldman, Text and Texture Bokeh and Happiness. Clever designs for some seriously fun card making!
I encourage you to head to the Papertrey Ink Blog for a closer look at my projects, and to see what the rest of the team is up to as well!
These products that I am showing will be available on December 15, 2018 at 10 PM EST. So while I will not have links yet, that night, I will be sure and update them quickly.
Text and Texture Bokeh is a very cool stamp set! It comes with two large background images that are perfect for layering to create this stunning bokeh-effect background. Bokeh is the blur of lights or color in a photo. Like Christmas lights. By layering a lighter shade of ink (put down first) and then topping it with a darker layer of ink, this background is made.
Note on this background-I also accentuated some of the star bursts in the background with a darker ink. It really adds to the depth of the image.
The word happiness is a new die that has a coordinating stamp set, fittingly called, Happiness. Ok, so technically its called Words to Live By: Happiness. :D
I die cut the word several times from card stock and layered them together to make the word appear like a custom embellishment.
On this card, I again created the background, but cut out a part of it to use on my card base. Leaving the other half of my card base open, allowed me to stamp some fantastic sentiments from Happiness. To draw more attention to the words, I surrounded it with individual bokeh images and star bursts. Oh, and I had to make it shine even more with some glitter. But in a "safe" format of Nuvo Glitter Drops. (WAAAAY less messy.)
How fun is that font? I also love that the sentiments are separate, allowing you to stamp them in different colors. It brings a unique look to the card.
And all those other shaped dies I used? Stay tuned. :D
