Uplifting Cards | Believe in You

Uplifting Cards by Becca Feeken using Spellbinders Hemstitch Rectangles, Lunette Arched Borders and Cinch and Go Flowers II - see full supply list at www.amazingpapergrace.com/?p=33618
Good morning sweet friends!  I’m popping in today for a quick post and to also let you know that there is a treat in store for you tomorrow.  Tomorrow I’ll be sharing some stunning book/card/mini albums that the Creative Team have put together using the 3D Vignettes Collection by Spellbinders .   In the meantime, today I’m sharing one of my uplifting cards that uses one of my favorite sentiments from  Quietfire Design.  It’s honestly a “feel good card” and so many times the recipient has called to say that it lifted their spirits precisely at a time they needed it.  That’s the home run I’m always looking for — just to know that it helped.  I’ve used some of the favorites you have in your stash: Lunette Arched Borders, and Cinch and Go Flowers II  in the Chantilly Paper Lace Collection.  I’m also using Hemstitch Rectangles from the Venise Lace Collection.

I send out cards quite regularly.  I do try to change them up slightly so that it’s not the same card over and over again.  That’s where embellishment dies come in handy.  Simply by adding the flowers, a different frame and the arched border, I was able to disguise my normal layout.

Pour and Send

Thanks for stopping by friends.  I hope that if you have a minute, that you’ll whip up something to uplift someone who might need it!  It doesn’t have to be a masterpiece.  It doesn’t have to be posted online or even use new things.  We collect and have so many tools at hand!  It’s a great experience to pour your heart out by creating and then to pass it along by sending.  Pour and send, if you will :-)

    Beautiful card Becca. I love the hemstitch rectangles – might have to open my wallet!! I know exactly what you mean about sending a card to uplift somebody. I noticed a lady who attends the crafts class we run in the village had seemed rather low for a few weeks so I made a card for her. She was so pleased that somebody had realised that there was something wrong and had gone to the trouble (her words, because certainly it was no trouble to me)to do something for her. Just goes to show that it is the little things that can mean the most ! Hugs Christine xReplyCancel

    I agree with you Becca – and it’s so easy with the die cut images to swap one for another to make a new looking creation! I always admire your choices in sentiments – it’s so important to fit the need of the receiver. Thank you for sharing and for your encouragement. Hugs Dianne aka the kardladyReplyCancel

    Beautiful card, Becca. I love everything about this, especially the love and care you always show to others. It’s reflected in your art and in your life.ReplyCancel

  • Theresa BushFebruary 26, 2018 - 1:21 pm

    What a beautiful card. I think sending an “I care” card is an excellent idea. I’m usually trying to make cards that take a lot of time which I don’t have a lot of. But something like this I can make to keep on hand. Thanks so much.ReplyCancel

  • IreneFebruary 26, 2018 - 1:44 pm

    Wow such a spectacular card love the idea so much i want to try it :)ReplyCancel

  • Diana WilligFebruary 26, 2018 - 1:44 pm

    God BlessReplyCancel

    Hi Becca

    I just wanted to tell you how beautiful your cards are. Each one is more beautiful than the previous one and I really enjoy seeing your creations.

    I noticed that you use a lot of ribbon on your cards and just wondered if you have a special place to purchase it. I live in New Brunswick, Canada and I can’t seem to find really nice ribbon. I would appreciate it if you could offer some suggestions of where I could purchase some.

    “Pour and send”- that is such a great idea. Funny, I was thinking this morning about making a card and sending it to a very nice person I met at Creativation. Inspiring stamps from Quietfire were rolling through my mind. Will need to pour and send to this person.

    Your card is beautiful and I adore the window frame you created. The flowers are so pretty!

    Have a great day! HugsReplyCancel

  • Yvonne MarshallFebruary 27, 2018 - 7:32 pm

    Hello Becca, I look at your cards over and over they gave me such joy. What talent you and your team have. My daughter is getting married this year and I will be using the ornamental arch and layered happily ever after die to create her invitations. Thanks for sharing such magnificent talent with us.ReplyCancel

  • Beverly JordanFebruary 27, 2018 - 8:54 pm
