Light Today

by on May 3, 2011


Hi blog friends!!  What a busy day!!  I’m working on a new tutorial, cleaning house, arranging furniture and it seems like I have million other irons in the fire all at once.  I took a break to get this card together.  I am just loving the doily look so I layered up a couple for my card.  My medallion is made using Spellbinders Floral Doily Motif and Spellbinders Standard Circles LG and Spellbinders Standard Circles SM.  The bottom layer is made from a corner punch using my Circular Frame Using Corner Punch Tutorial from a couple of years ago.   You all know that I’ve been smitten by The Girls Paperie paper, so I’m using it again . . . remember, I’m trying not to hoard :-)

I’m highlighting a sentiment from Quietfire Design called Light Tomorrow with Today – simple and pretty for a general card to go into my stash!

The tutorial I’m working on is a new bow made on the Peg Bow Maker.  The bow on this card is a sample because I was playing around with them this morning.  This is a six layer bow and once I pull it off the pegs, it’s ready to go.   I should have the tutorial ready today or tomorrow so be sure to check back.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Quietfire DesignLight Tomorrow with Today
Paper: The Girls Paperie, Strathmore Acrylic
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black and clear embossing powder
Accessories: Spellbinders Floral Doily Motif, Spellbinders Standard Circles LG, Spellbinders Standard Circles SM, Spellbinders Grand Large Labels, Martha Stewart Deco Flowers Corner Punch, Jolees Hair Pin, Recollections Pearls

Thanks for stopping by!!  See you tomorrow!!

I can’t wait to see how you made the new bow. It is so cute and just in time for Mother’s Day. Becca, yesterday, I rearranged my son’s bedroom furniture and had a blast. There must be something in the air. LOL

Such a bright and cheerful card. LOVE that bow – and can’t wait to see the tutorial. My best friends husband was SO kind to make me one of your peg bow makers when he made his wife one. It’s wonderful to have such good friends like that. (put my husband to SHAME!) :D Thank you Becca for sharing all your ingenious goodies with us.

I just love this card… the pink is just a perfect color for it. I also remember your technique to create a circular frame and I visited the page. Of course I also remember when you used corner punches for an entire section.. sorry can’t remember the name of the technique. I went looking for it in your tutorial section and couldn’t find it. Since you got your new website, might it have been lost.. hopefully not! I’ll keep looking!

Your card is so sweet! Love the pretty patterned paper and the sweet bow. Sounds as though you are one busy lady. It is nice when everything is all done but it is such a headache when it’s about half done. Ugh!!!
Thanks for sharing! :)

Becca, beautiful card and wonderful new peg bow. I can’t wait to see the tutorial. I liked your peg bow maker so much I made 6 of them. One for myself and 5 were given away as gifts. Thank you so much for the idea and inspiration.
God bless,

Wow 6 layers! Holy Cow! You are the best bow maker ever! I did pull out the old bowmaker I told you about yesterday. I was able to find a brad the right size for the center post. So the bow I made was a lot like yours. But I think it’s muc too big. So I know they can be made smaller, I just have to figure out how.
Looking forward to the new tutorial. TFS
Hugs, Jess
