Hi there blog friends! You know when you have one of those days where every Murphys Law thing that can happen, does happen? Well, that would be my day, today. I had a tutorial almost completed, but it just wasn’t ready for prime time, lol! I’ll have to come back at it again or need to change something or perhaps just set it aside. No worries though, instead I thought I would show you a little project that I sent off for display at the Spellbinders booth. I love, love, love the new cut and tuck die templates – they will get a lot of use from me. Earlier this month I whipped up a little box and used three of the cut and tuck die layers to create a flower medallion. It makes a box, lickety split, it’s different and quite dramatic – I think.
The die template I used was Spellbinders™ S5-111 Angle Approach and the box is 4″ square by 1″ tall. Since I love dimension I think this is one that I’ll repeat often for little gifty situations.
That’s all for me today! I’m going to take a break, get a breath of fresh air and hit the reset button. ….because sometimes that’s what ‘cha gotta do :-)

This is lovely Becca,
I am certain anyone receiving this with a little gift inside would spend more time admiring the box and its embellishment.
Hope you’re having a good day today and are coping with the pain.

Do I detect a shade of purple? Perhaps more of a magenta. Lovely. I don’t understand the cut and tuck.

this box sort of looks purple-or is it a pink-hope it’s another purple creation

When I saw the release video of this die I thought ‘They are getting their ideas from Becca’ you have been cutting and tucking Spellbinders for years. This is lovely and something us mere mortals can do.

GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!! Nobody does Spellbinders like you do Becca. I would venture to say that your blog postings contribute to more sales of Spellbinder dies then the CHA trade show does!!!! I bet you were a design engineer in some past life. What ever the case maybe, Spellbinders and Martha Stewart owe you big time!!!! Love all your art. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Oh and by the way, Guess who’s card was starring me in the face yesterday when I picked up my mail. Your’s truely. Bolder then bold on the back cover of February 2012 CARDS Magazine!!!! It was used in Spellbinders add for their new M-Bossabilities and your name is actually right under the card. It brought a huge smile to my face and I hope it did the same to your’s. Hugs,

This gift topper is amazing! How do you make this look so different than the one on the Spellbinders website. I can’t tell what you did in addition to the standard tuck other than curling the edges back. I’d love to see you do a tutorial of this one!!!!!!!
January 18, 2012
4:15 pm
Any chance you’ll do a tutorial for us on this tuck Spellbinders? Please, pretty please? You always make impossible things look easy for people like me. :)

Spellbinders is very fortunate to have you on their design team.

I love it and am excited to get my hands on one of the cut and fold dies. I have the ones that you cut by hand and tuck but this would be much easier. Well, I hope Murphy goes home and take his law with him. Tomorrow will be a better day!

Mojo’s gone! Yesterday I made a card that turned out “just ok”. I lied. Reviewed the card today, then junked it! Saw today’s blog with this beautiful cut and fold medallion. Watched the introduction of this die on Spellbinders site—I think I can do this! Is Mojo coming back???? I can see this medallion elegant in black and white, so I will be purchasing it. Thanx for the inspiration.

I have plastic templetes that I use to cut and tuck. I have to cut things out with a craft knife. The new templates will speed up the process quite a bit. Thank you Spellbinders! Becca = beautiful as always.

Bcca, your tuck & cut bow is beautiful. The purple card you show before that is wonderful too. I love all your creations. You need a rest so do it.

Gorgeous – can’t wait to get hold of those cut/fold/tuck dies. I have done this sort of thing in the past – do you know of ‘Lace’ (accent on the ‘e’) work? It uses templates and a sharp knife and lots of patience ;)
January 18, 2012
7:11 pm
Becca, your attention to every little detail is inspiring. Just as I am completing a card and before everything is set in place I always have another critical look and ask myself, “What would Becca do?” No kidding! Thanks again.
January 18, 2012

Hi Becca, as always your work is beautiful and love your box with the cut,fold and tuck, die template, it remindes me of brass Ornaire stencles where you used an exactor knife to cut the paper, then you folded it then tucked it in, it looked nice with double sided paper, you could not use too heavy a paper, the only thing different is the die does the cutting for you so much easier.
Keep up with the lovely cards.

Sorry to hear of your bummer day. That is a good idea though, take a rest. That is usually the best thing to do. I do hope the turorial was on this box top.

I used to do cut and tuck the old way–with a metal stencil and a craft knife. This will be so much easier with the new Spellbinder dies. I love the way you shaped the medallion into a flower. It’s beautiful!!!

Funny…the stencils that make similar designs have been around so long…I’m surprised that these didn’t come along sooner. The dies make it so much easier than getting out the cutting blade. Can’t wait to get my hands on some. Your stunning projects get me doubly excited!!!

As others have said, this appears to be Lace taken to a higher level ….less time consuming than using a knife. I have always liked Lace and love these new Spellbinders. You have done a beautiful job of this box and topper Becca. I can see this in black and gold for someone special…or black and red for a Valentines gift would be nice too. I love the colours you have chosen for yours….almost purple LOL!
