Hello there blog friends! Peeking in as I said I would, and I have a card that I made after I returned from CHA and it goes out to a sweet friend of mine. I’ll warn you this one is layered to the hilt but that’s because I love layering ;-) I did give in to whim with lots of pearls from my stash. I started out with Spellbinders™ Venetian Motifs as my base (I cut it in half to make it large enough to peek out from behind Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty) then adorned with matching pearls from Want2Scrap Nestabling Labels Twenty Five). Then I layered Spellbinders™ Floral Ovals, which I stamped with JustRite Papercrafts Ever After Antique Labels. The top layer that holds my sentiment is Spellbinders™ Fancy Framed Tags Two, embellished again with Want2Scrap Nestabling Fancy Tags Two pearls. The sentiment from JustRite Papercrafts Just Because Vintage Labels fit perfectly!
I finished off with a silk bow and matching resin rose and a corsage pin embellished with a button.
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: JustRite Papercrafts – Ever After Antique Labels, Just Because Vintage Labels Paper: Prima Song Bird, The Paper Company Kraft, Neenah Classic Crest Natural White Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa Accessories: Spellbinders™ Venetian Motifs, Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty, Spellbinders™ Floral Ovals, Spellbinders™ Fancy Framed Tags Two, Want2Scrap, silk ribbon, Anna Griffin resin rose, Recollections pearls, Pearl Pic, button |
I’ve been quite intrigued by Spellbinders™ Botanical Swirls. It created a lovely backdrop for a white card. I simply cut and popped everything up on foam tape to give some depth. My sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs called Smooth Sailing, was stamped then cut using Spellbinders™ Back to Basics Tags.
Needing something different for the centerpiece of my seam binding bow, I used the tiny octagonal piece from Spellbinders Octagon Strips and Accents. I love it that they went so small with this Cut-Fold-Tuck elements – makes it perfect for little embellishment areas like this. :-)

Your creativity blows me away! I love how you cut pieces apart to create a new shape, how you put a paper center on your bow, and how you use pearls on your cards. You truly have a gift from God! So grateful that you use it to bless and inspire others.
I love, love, love the Botanical Swirls! I must have it, must!! Love this card, the colors, the bow, the everything.

Bisous fabienne de belgique
The bows on both of these are gorgeous! Good thing i have the peg bow maker!
Can’t wait for these dies to hit the UK , I have a long list and saving hard. to get as many as i can.
Venetian Motifs first one on the list. I like all the background dies i have seen.
Fab cards xxx
I tell you, CHA must have recharged your creativity to the max!! I’m seeing little touches here and there that are so cool… I have come to realize that you must be using flowers from the floral or wedding department occasionally and I know that it takes a certain “eye” to pick the right ones. These today are lovely; so are the pins… simple but elegant. Everything here is a treat for the eyes!!
Your pictures show your creations SO BEAUTIFULLY!! They truely capture the elegance of your cards. You have such a creative talent–I am so glad I found your blog!

These are both so lovely, the first one soft and warm, and the second one a little crisper, but elegant. Really like the Justrite stamp you used on the beige label, showing that it doesn’t have to be coloured in to make a striking impact.
I have two questions about the Botanical card that perhaps might give you future blog post fodder (I hope!). What is the size of the card, particularly the blue botanical panel? Did you cut the die one time and then trim your border around (or cut the paper to size and centre the die on it to go through the machine?)? For the tag, is the die inked before cutting to create the two-colour result? It looks like the green is a whole separate layer, but perhaps it’s just really good inking you’ve done? Thank you!
My I WANT IT list for these new spellbinders just keeps getting longer….Beautiful cards as always !!
Oh my, how lovely!! It reminds me of France for some reason. Love the soft layers of the peachy bow and the addition of pearls is divine! Beautiful, Becca! I love the second card as well! That die is gorgeous! Just my style! Wonderful how you layered the flowers on the side. Spectacular!
Both cards are sooo beautiful. Love each of them and the more layers, the better. Edna
Love the Spellbinders bontanical background!
Oh Becca, these are so beautiful, the top one is my favorite. Can’t wait to get my hands on those new Spellbinders, and JustRite Stamps. Oh the wait after all of tempting views.
Hugs,
Gretchen
WOOOOOOW Becca!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m LOVING BOTH of your cards!!!!!!!!!!!!! The first SOOOO FEMININE!!!!!!!!!!!! (Just the kind of card I’d LOVE to receive! ) Your second card, I THOUGHT was a Wedding Card! :) SOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Becca oh my both of these cards are just wonderful. And loving your sentiments, very clever.
Hugs Trish.
Oh…my…goodness! These are my new favourites of a long, long, line of Becca favourites. You have outdone yourself, dear lady. Two new masterpieces to add to the collection.
You are the Spellbinder Queen, Becca!! Always amazing ways you use and layer them to create fabulous eye candy :)
The cards are beautiful. I love the layering on the 1st card and the modern look of the second is just as nice. Thanks for sharing your wonderful creative talents!
I really like the peach and craft look. Amazing how those colors go together. As always, a fabulous beautiful card someone will really love. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful!! I love these cards! There is so much creativity happening here! Thank you so much for the inspiration!
Oh my goodness this is so pretty!!!! I love it and those pearls are awesome…tfs
Oh, WOW!
If I could make cards as lovely as you do….But I guess it really falls down to having all the right tools and supplies, which I do not, being on a fixed extremely limited income and having all my “spending” money sapped by all my different illnesses and my 15 different medications I take on a daily basis and may soon have to add more as the doctor thinks I may also have Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
So just even seeing your beautiful cards is a treat within itself as my eyes are heavily affected. I have lost the vision in my left eye almost and I have lost all peripheral vision. So,please, keep them comin’!
just gorgeous and I so want that botanical swirl die. Love your cards and such beautiful workmanship. Thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous cards. I’m so in love with the new Spellbinders dies, I can’t wait to place an order for them.
Once again your work is so pretty, embellished just right.
I used my Becca Bow Maker again today, I’m so in love with it, thank you!
I love the botanical swirls but am wondering how many times you had to run it through your machine for it to cut in every space? I have the Grand Caliber and realize that cuts the designs much better but have had problems with another brand of dies cutting. I use PTI and SU cardstock. Love your blog although I don’t comment much! You have really made a name for yourself and I just love all of your projects!
Both of these cards are absolutely fabulous. I would be so excited to receive something so wonderful as these two cards are. You do such a lovely fantastic job as always. GBY!
both of these are beautiful- you are so talented thank you for sharing
Once again, your talents blow me away!!!! I would love to see some new videos from you if possible. The Peach card would be a good start (hint).
Thanks for the double treat. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent with us. God bless.
Can I just say….. Beautiful. There is nothing else to say beyond that!!! Thanks for sharing.
Becca: When I open my e-mail and see that I have something from you, I can’t open it up fast enough to see what you have sent. These two cards are awesome. I love both of them. ALL of your cards and projects are so lovely. You are so talented. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and explaining how and what you use for your cards. It is greatly appreciated. I do have one question. Where do you buy the stick pins? I know you make your own, but where do you get the pin itself? I went on Becca Bits to see if I could find a video on how to make them, but I didn’t see a video or tutorial on how to make the stick pins. Your bows and pins really make the cards. You are an inspiration. Thank you!!!!

This is so elegant! Your style is amazing!
The “Thanks a Million” card is stunning. Looks like a million!!!!!! The second card is also very elegant. But then, when isn’t one of your masterpieces???? Hope your trip is going well. I know you will miss your daughter a bunch. It’s a bummer when they spread their wings even thou that is what we train them to do. Fortunately for me, my daughter was able to enhance her career locally, get married, have children and still stay within a few miles from me. But, she is the only one that is local.
Have a safe trip, and thanks for taking the time to share your cards with us.
Marcie
Becca, both cards are so so beautiful.. I adore them and think the colors are so gorgeous. Love the quotes on both cards especially “Thanks a Million” one card that we don’t make enough but should. Thank you for sharing both cards with me as I am so in love with each and every card you make. You never dissappoint me..
Hugs, Jean
You truly blessed each one of us today with your two masterpieces. I don’t know which I like the best. You never cease to amaze me with what you come up with. Stunning! you say you use seam binding for your bows. Where do you get it in such glorious colors. Do you order it online?
Thanks for this wonderful post ~ everyday you post is a delightful day for me.

Becca!
The cards are just beautiful and it is difficult to choose the one I like best but I think my personal choice would be the 1st card. The person who receives this will cherish as I would.
Looking forward to some of the new Spellbinder Dies and Just Rite Stamps.
Gorgeous cards Becca! I love the swirls.
WOW! Awesome bow on the first card and the white embossed card is so striking!
Absolutely beautiful! Such a stunning card in delicate colours! Love your work!x
Both are absolutely beautiful. Anne
Two beautiful cards Becca. I can’t even pick a favorite they are both beautiful. Love the embellishing on both. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
Gorgeous cards. I can’t wait to get my hands on those background cutouts.
Oh my they are both just gorgeous, I love the layering and all the pearl accenting on the first and your lovely background with the flower arrangement is just lovely!
WOW! Becca, two gorgeous cards. an eye opener with the first cut of coffee.
they are beautiful. These new dies are excellent and hard to choose which one to buy first. Where do you get you stick pins? and supplies for them.
Also you have put your distress ink pad on a ring. I want to do that too, but can’t find the ring or the plastic clip you use to hold them on the ring……..thank you so much for sharing……hugs.
I have just come across your blog and absolutely beautiful work which is so detailed and professional looking. A real inspiration to us newbies, Thank you for sharing love Kathyx
Oh this gorgeous card leaves me breathlessssss…..sooooo beautiful!! The flowers and the swirl marvelously complement each other. Thanks Becca.
Oh yes the layered card is superb. Becca, you’re truly blessed with great artistic talent.
As usual your cards are spectacular. How I love the white and green also. Your such a inspiration to so many of us!
I love the pearl in the middle of the bow, a nice touch.
Beautiful die! I just want to see more how you will work with.
It is limited how we can work with.
I am very curious to see what you will imagine.
Merci

Hi Becca,
Everything I see that you and your friends have made is so lovely.
I sure am glad you are so blessed by the Father to do such beautiful
work with cards.
I enjoy just looking at what new things you have come up with.
I expecially need script sayings.
God love you all
Melanie
Just found your site by accident. Watched the tutorial on Gate Cards and loved it. Then I went to your site and registered to become a member of your blog for Emails. I, honestly, love your imagination. Your cards are overwhelmingly beautiful. I am looking forward to seeing your future blogs and hope to make some of your beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.
