Our Greatest Glory – CPS 166

 

Hello there!!  JustRite Stampers is this weeks sponsor for the sketch challenge over at CPS – with CPS 166.  It’s an absolute breath of fresh air because of its simplicity.  My card features stamps from the set called the Hope Borders and Centers Set 2" Square.  Since the sketch calls for a small square shape it was perfect for sentiments and borders stamped with the 2" wooden stamper.

For mine, I opted to create a border with two layers of a Martha Stewart punch called Gothic Layered Arches then the top layers are Spellbinders Big Scalloped Squares SM #3 and a frame cut with Classic Squares SM #3 and Classic Squares LG #4.  On the left side I decided to do something different for me and run three ribbons across with the petite bows staggered.


There are still several days left to join in on the sketch challenge and as always, your take on this simple sketch just might land you some goodies.  You can check out the details and see the sketch HERE.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  JustRite Hope Borders and Center Set 2" Square
Paper:  K & Company, The Paper Company
Ink:  Memento – Bamboo, Versafine – Onyx Black
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Big Scalloped Squares SM, Spellbinders™ Classic Squares SM, Spellbinders™ Classic Squares LG, Martha Stewart Gothic Layered Arches Border Punch, Ribbon

 

Wishing you a glorious day!

ETA:  Hanging head in shame . ..  I wrote down the wrong punch name and you all have graciously corrected me.  I’ve marked out Gothic and corrected it to Layered.  Sorry for any inconvenience.  I for one will do a happy dance the day that manufacturers actually put the name on the punch.  Yes, I know I could do it, but I’d rather be crafting ;-)

    Becca,

    This card is so lovely!!! I adore the sentiment, and how you framed it. The ribbon, how did you tie them to get that look, they are elegant and the perfect accompaniment to your card!!!

    Your work is amazing..I love looking at your cards, and I feel like I am looking at mini works of art!!!

    Thanks so much for sharing your talent, inspiration and kindness!

    God Bless,

    Lisa Sturgill :)ReplyCancel

    Gorgeous card, Becca…………love the sentiment! Two questions………..where, oh where did you find the K & Company paper you used, and how did you make the squares from the MS border punch. Thanks for sharing your talent!

    Blessings,
    PatReplyCancel

    OHHHH…I have spied those MS borders and corners punches already and was debating buying them. Now that I see how beautiful and intricate they are, I must have them. (Just as soon as the next coupon comes out! LOL!}ReplyCancel

  • Dedra JohnsonMay 13, 2010 - 6:55 am

    I absolutely love looking at your cards and continue to be amazed daily on how talented and creative you are. I am confused on this one. Did you use the Martha Stewart Gothic Arches Border Punch as you stated or the Layered Arches Edge Punch? I would like to buy the punch you used, but the 2nd one looks like your card and the first one looks more pointy. I’d appreciate it if could clarify that for me. Thanks.ReplyCancel

  • Bev J.May 13, 2010 - 6:58 am

    Are my eyes deceiving me or is that beautiful background paper embossed? If so, did you emboss it or did it come that way? I love the dp and your pretty card. Another winner! tfsReplyCancel

    No one brings beauty to paper like you do!!! I love the simple elegance of this card and of course, your “Becca bows”. The punch sets the sentiment off just beautifully. Thank you.ReplyCancel

    What MS punch did you use? Not Gothic Arches. Also, tell us about the paper. I cannot read you supplies list.

    Beautiful card. loved everything about it.

    Thanks for inspiring all of us.ReplyCancel

  • KarenMay 13, 2010 - 9:25 am

    I am continually amazed by your cards. Never a disappointment. I especially like the layers and the floral frame.ReplyCancel

  • mamajulieMay 13, 2010 - 9:42 am

    OK, I repeat myself: “Wow” I know I say this on every comment, but your cards just blow me away. You speak about them so plainly and calmly, but the combinations of colors, layers and embellishing are just unbelieveable. For me, more layers just look “junky”, but for you they’re magic. Thank you for blessing us yet again.ReplyCancel

  • Carol FMay 13, 2010 - 3:13 pm

    BEAUTIFUL card Becca. This punch looks similar to the Gothic Arches, but I think it is the Layered Arches. I love this punch.

    Thank you for your Spectacular inspiration, as ALWAYS!!ReplyCancel

  • janeyMay 13, 2010 - 3:18 pm

    So Becca! I need to purchase this JustRite set; my cards will never look like yours, however, at least I can’t blame not having the right equipment. Thank you for sharing your art, Becca!ReplyCancel

  • GayleMay 13, 2010 - 3:51 pm

    Beautiful card, as always. To answer some of the confusion on the MS punches. I ran out to get them knowing that I would enjoy using them often after seeing how beautifully they can be used.

    Dedra, you are correct…the punch design Becca used is indeed the “layered arches” by M. Stewart.

    I would love to know the sizes of the squares that were used with these punches. Can’t wait to use them! Thanks for opening my eyes to a great product!ReplyCancel

  • Judy McMullenMay 13, 2010 - 4:34 pm

    Hi Becca,

    You always make mini works of art! Just beautiful…I would like to ask you what the name of the paper is or what paper pack it came from and also could you list the sizes to make the squares for the punches!

    Thanks so muchReplyCancel

  • MaryMay 14, 2010 - 5:23 pm

    Hi Becca your card is absolutely stunning. I have gone through stacks of paper trying to get the tight ‘nested’ effect of your punched squares so far with no luck, cant get the measurements right. Perhaps a Becca Bit tutorial please :) I know what I want to do but so far it isnt happening LOL and I am sure that you have a way simpler method.ReplyCancel

  • MarcieMay 15, 2010 - 12:07 am

    Becca,
    Such a beautiful card. I love this paper. I have some in my stash and I noticed everyone wants to know what it is. Since it is older I am not sure you can get it any more, but here are the details. It is from K&Co back in the day when you could order 1 sheet at a time. Flora Bella Filagree Embossed Paper ( a Brenda Walton design). Hope that helps and will save you the time of having to look it up.
