Cream Frame Garden Weave Card

Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Spellbinders Garden Weaves
Good morning sweet friends!  Thanks for stopping by and thank you so much for your kind words.  You have no idea how much you lift me up . . . as I read through comments over the past couple of days I want you to know how much you bless me.  Some days I do struggle for inspiration but once I see my friends here, that struggle melts away.  If I’ve been able to inspire you it is but a small token for all I that receive in return.  If you don’t comment, never worry about that, you bless me nonetheless.  Thus the inspiration for my card today, I hope you are blessed every day and in all you do.  I wanted a crisp clean, framed arrangement all of one color.  I hunted through my sentiment stash for God Bless You and found it among my Wordsworth stamps!

WRBF-4328-2014
Here’s how I made it – step by step:

Start out with a card base that measures 5-3/8″ wide – 6-1/2″ tall.  Cut a panel 4-1/4″ – 5-5/8″  and cut/emboss 2 of Spellbinders Fancy Weave – cut Fancy Weave on each long side and apply to the back of the cut panel to make a border – patch any gaps with the second Fancy Weave then apply ribbon and adhere panel to base with foam tape.  Next cut/emboss Spellbinders Matting Basics A #5 and #7 at the same time.  Cut/emboss two Spellbinders Garden Weave and adhere to the back of frame created with Matting Basics then adhere the grouping to the card base using double foam tape.  Cut/emboss small oval from Spellbinders Elegant Oval and stamp sentiment – adhere to base using a triple layer of foam tape.  

CRAFT SUPPLIES I USED 
Rubber Stamps: Wordsworth (Sentiment), Yellow Bicycle (Frame)
Craft Paper: Neenah Classic Crest – Natural White – 80 lb
Ink: Versamark, Fresh Ink – Chocolate
Accessories Spellbinders Fancy WeaveSpellbinders Matting Basics ASpellbinders Garden WeaveSpellbinders Elegant Ovalgold embossing powder, May Arts Silk Ribbon, Gold Rimmed Pearl Brad (Michaels), Grand Calibur Die Cut Machine

Bless you my friends and have an awesome weekend!  I’ll see you soon!

 

Question Parking Lot

Carole Thrasher on Comment #41 asked why sometimes the link does lead to the correct item *lately*.  Carole, thank you so much for pointing this out to me . . .  I would be totally lost if you all weren’t my eyes and ears.  To be totally honest the error in linking was just an over sight.   I had started copying links and editing their destination instead of typing them by scratch – it takes a while to get things linked up but it sounds like I have to go back to the old way.  Gonna go back over the last two weeks of posts to make sure they are all correct.  So sorry for the frustration, sweet friend.  In the meantime, thanks for pointing this out to me and if you ever find an incorrect link, please don’t hesitate to drop me a line through the contact tab at the top of the blog so I can make the correction.  I’d sure rather know :-)

Edited to add:  Oh Carole, I went back and did have to change about 5 or 6 links to point to the correct product, arrrggh!!!  Thank you.  I always appreciate the friend that will let me know my slip is hanging or if I have something in my teeth.  That’s exactly what you did :-)

    Hi becca. Seeing your cards…I feel at peace and each one of them are a master piece. You are truly my idol.ReplyCancel

  • Debbie BauderJune 21, 2014 - 2:18 pm

    Your card is beautiful as always. I love how you put it together and used only one color cardstock. This may seem out of line but I would like to know if you would consider making a stamp that says “we love you”? I don’t have a problem finding stamps such as “Love You” or “I Love You” but what happened to “WE Love You”. I want to send cards to family members from both of us. Thanks.ReplyCancel

    Absolutely gorgeous Becca. You certainly inspire me to make cards as all yours are stunning and I now buy some dies just because you have showcased them to demonstrate just how beautiful they can be. I always buy your new dies straight away so would love you to design some more please. Hope you have a lovely dayReplyCancel

  • SophiaJune 22, 2014 - 4:03 am

    Hey Becca – I love this card! Your ability to layer different pieces is such an inspiration to help stretch me into getting more creative at layering and to try different things. Thanks for all you doReplyCancel

    I have never left a comment before but I really do love your cards, I wish I had the inspiration that you do. Sometimes my cards turn out okay but they never look as good as yours. I will keep on trying, Ann xReplyCancel

  • Barbara TranquillaJune 22, 2014 - 5:16 am

    Thanks Becca for another beautiful card. Your designs are always classy, never over the top, and beautifully balanced. You also share tips that carry over to other cards–like adjusting a die cut to suit non-standard measurements, combining previous dies to new ones, unique placement of embellishments. I love your professional guidelines but even more I appreciate your spiritual encouragement and positive attitude. Each day I look forward to new postings but never tire of going back into your archives for fresh ideas and uplifting thoughts.ReplyCancel

    This would be a wonderful Wedding Card Becca! (I’ve had weddings on the brain lately—-3 these past few weeks!) LOL But, your card is wonderful!!!! Love how you have that swirly part coming out of the frame! FABULOUS JOB! :D Quite ELEGANT!ReplyCancel

  • Carole ThrasherJune 22, 2014 - 12:30 pm

    Becca, I’ve been watching your card making ideas for a long time now–maybe 3years. They are always wonderful!!
    However, fairly often, when you list the Spellbinders components that you use, when I click on the link to see what the die looks like, it brings up a completely different die. For instance the “Garden Weave” when clicked on shows “Tranquil Moments”. It’s a bit frustrating– just wondered if you knew what was up with this?
    Thanks for all your sharing!! CaroleReplyCancel

  • Marion TurnerJune 22, 2014 - 1:44 pm

    Good morning Becca,
    A beautiful card yet again and so crisp and clean looking but also has that soft look being made in the ivory cream with the soft filigree tendrils trying to escape from under the framework. Thank you Becca for the inspiration that you bring with each and every card or item you make, it is so much loved,

    Good morning dear Becca,
    Please can i ask how you managed to get the gold on the edge of your beautiful roses? The latest card that you have made with the fine gold enhancements is just stunning on the Friend Who Understands card of the 23rd and i have fallen in love with the roses (which i can make) and their gold edging.
    Many thanks flower
