Gift of Faith
Posted by Becca Feeken on Monday, December 14th, 2009
Hello Friends! Thanks for the sweet comments coming in behind the scenes to check on me. I’m fine and actually have a card to share with you today. The sentiment is from one of the December releases for Our Daily Bread Designs from the His Gift set and I love that it wishes all good things – just as I wish to you all. As is often the case, I was playing around with this Spellbinders Scalloped Edge Frame and started to thread the ribbon through the loops. The whole effort turned into a kind of Rubic’s Cube. There didn’t seem to be any way to solve it and then the next time I looked it was done. In this case I started weaving, got confused, had a mess and then all of a sudden it was right. Don’t ask me how I did it – I don’t know if I can ever do it again but I’m sure gonna try.
After weaving in all the ends I secured the ribbon on each corner with a convenient pearl. Then I layered on lace and velvel and popped up each layer with dimensional tape, finishing with a Prima flower. I love using Spellbinders Fancy Tags for embellishment so I layered it behind my sentiment.

Good evening, Becca – well this card has just taken my breath away. It is so, so beautiful and so elegant. It really must have taken such patience and time to interweave that ribbon but the end result is worth it – it is truly amazing.

Wow! That is soooooooo gorgeous!!
Love, love, love this card but I did get a chuckle out of your description of how you did the weaving on this card. Well, a few years ago I was into making these cards using Carl punches that were kind of lacey looking with a lot of cutouts on them. You had to line them up just so and then you had to weave ribbon through the openings to create these woven masterpieces. Well, on just about all of them, I’d work forever weaving these things and have this huge mess and just about the time I’d want to stomp on them and light them on fire out of frustration…..TA-DA! I’d have the most awesome woven card you’ve seen. Couldn’t figure out how it would work out, it just did.
Thank you for all your hard work and all the inspiration you provide. Here’s to a very Merry Christmas and a very creative new year!
I’m speechless – you are SO inspiring.
