The ordinary and unexpected gift of stamping

Two Things We Can Give

Posted by Becca Feeken on Friday, March 5th, 2010

Just a reminder, if you are looking for the current blog candy, you can leave a comment HERE. 

Hello there!  I’m fully immersed in the throes of spring fever!!  Today I was actually doing some cleaning so my stamp table sat neglected.  I do have a card to share though!!   Such an inspiring sentiment, this Quietfire stamp is called There Are Two Things.  Isn’t that sentiment darling? 

For my card I cut a Spellbinders™ Classic Heart and stamped the sentiment onto the heart using my stampamajig.  The sentiment is actually one stamp that I divided into to two parts so that it would fit neatly into the heart.  Then to embellish the heart I cut two Spellbinders™ Classic Scalloped Paisley and trimmed off the top scalloped edge to use for wings.   Very simple!

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Quietfire Design - There Are Two Things
Paper:  The Paper Company - Cottonwood, Lasting Impressions
Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black and Clear Embossing Powder
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Classic Heart, Spellbinder™ Classic Scalloped Paisley, Ribbon, Buttons, Martha Stewart border punch

Cheerio!  Have a wonderful day!

Sweet Magnolia

Posted by Becca Feeken on Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Don’t forget, there is current blog candy that you can register for - the link to the candy is HERE.

Hello there, today I have a sweet little Magnolia to share with you. Magnolia-licious is stocked with the new collection called Raising the Ceiling and Right Through the Heart and this sweet thing is one of that new collection - she is #218 Sweet Tilda.  If you don’t see the image you’re looking for - just check with Diana.

Every month the Magnolia-licious Design Team posts a challenge on the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog and this month is a sketch challenge.  There’s an opportunity for you to play along for a prize and all the details are HERE.


For my card I followed the sketch fairly closely.  Tilda is popped up on a
Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals LG and on top of that I have used  Spellbinders™ Labels Ten.   All in all it’s a very simple card and I decided to color this sweet little corner piece on the inside called  #433 Elegant Heart Ribbon.  The cardstock that I was using was Bazzill and since the copics bled through to the back, when done I added another panel to the back of the card to mask the bleed through.   Here are the copic colors I used.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Magnolia - #218 Sweet Tilda and #433 Elegant Heart Ribbon
Paper:  Bazzill, K & Company, My Minds Eye
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Labels Ten, Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals LG, Martha Stewart Border Punch, Ribbon, Pearls, Paper Studio Brad

Thanks for stopping by.

Guess What — More Blog Candy!

Posted by Becca Feeken on Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

I’ve had these little piles setting aside in my studio because during my last month Blogging Anniversary I had thought I would do one Blog Candy each week to celebrate.  Well the best intentions laid aside, last month was slam busy with the production of Becca Bits, downloadable pdf’s and several video tutorials.  That won’t stop me though - I have new blog candy with different items.  Beside, I’m just done reading about your best tear-jerker movies and have put several new items on my bucket list (smile) - so we just gotta talk more! 

 

Okay, so here’s the deal.  Blog Candy is now open and will close on Sunday, March 7th at midnight with a winner being announced on Monday, March 8th.  Feel free to enter every day and in fact if the winner has entered each day (there are 5) I’ll throw in a bonus - trust me, it will be good. As always, once the winner is picked, they need to reach out to me through my contact page within 48 hours or another winner is picked.

 

Now, about the content of your comment.  Many of you know I’m a caregiver and stay fairly tethered to home.  Blogging gives me a way to talk to other people - it absolutely tickles my heart to read your thoughts - you are all beautiful souls.  In the beginning I tried to reply to all comments but it became impossible if I wanted to continue to create and actually have something to show.   So I still read all comments and in fact a little over two weeks ago you all shared your Bucket List items with me - what an eye opener that was!!!   Most people had something on their list about visiting some place dreamy.  So that’s what I’m looking for - have you been someplace breathtaking that was beyond your dreams?  Share it with me and tell me why it was so beautiful - I wanna go!
