Good morning friends – it’s nothing less than glorious here and I hope that’s exactly the kind of day you have in store. Today I thought I’d give you a sneak peek of a new 2014 Spellbinders die along with some brand spanking new romantic Quietfire Design stamps that are waiting to be stamped for someone you really care about (hint, hint, Valentines Day). This sentiment is so very special — were my hubby here, he’d have this in a card from me in a red hot second. I’ll be using this in some of my scrapbook pages for him :-) The sentiment I’m using is called The Door was Marked You.
I pulled together a vintage card with some ribbon I dyed recently and some vintage flowers I picked up on my trip to California in November. Yes, you do spy a new die template – this one is called Spellbinders A2 Divine Eloquence; it is so very romantic. This card was so easy – I simply set up my base and layers then cut the template with the center motif. I popped that center motif up really high because I wanted to be able to see the paper underneath. Done! I could have tried to work in more layers but honestly it would have been way overdone – I just love the simplicity of the template as it is!
I dipped into my stash and found a piece of filigree that I used as a skirt on my bow. I have so many glass pearls and I just love threading them onto my ribbon ends because it holds them down. Right now in my crafting life, threading pearls is my new love :-)

2014 is off to a fabulous start!! I’ve had a chance to get inside my heart and sort things out to start off the year. It’s been a blast sitting down the craft table ; I love what I do and I love the folks that visit here. I’m feeling very adventurous and hope you’ll stick around with me this year!!
You bet I will be here, wouldn’t want to miss a thing you create such as this beauty. Quietfire makes some of the most gorgeous stamps and you showcase them beautifully!
What an absolutely stunning card, the sentiment is beautiful and I just love the way that you thread your pearls. All in all a winner for me. Hugs, Jen xx
Becca,
What a beautiful card and touching sentiment! I’am sure your hubby would love them both! I, too, am looking forward to 2014 and great things happening! Wish you the best!
This and the ones previously are gorgeous, I love this new die also.
Perfeito!!!
Amo tudo que você faz Becca.
Parabéns!

Oh I’ll be sticking around all right. You have me intrigued. Beautiful card. Your flowers are a lovely touch.
Just so lovely. Quietfire sentiments are perfect and I love what you’ve done to showcase this one. Have a fabulous day.
Lovely as always! TFS
Yes in deedy if Gods willing I will be here with you for not just this year but for many years to come! Another beautiful and stunning card! I love the way the Lord uses you to inspire others.
Gorgeous – love the sentiment! If we could always be so bold to be ourselves.
Hugs, Antonella :-)
Bekka, I am a huge fan of yours…you give me lots of inspiration! Not only for your talent but also confessing to be a child of God. Your work has a lacey flare with draws me in. Whenever I use a floral background paper it is always too overpowering. Yours always come out with such grace.
I think this is one of my most favorite cards!!
That is a gorgeous card. Love it lots. Thanks for sharing with us. Have a grrrreat day.
Lovely, lovely! I like the added touch of the pink pearl beads attached to ribbon.
Absolutely stunning card here again Becca. You never disappoint, but always deliver the most exclusive results of everything.
Stunning card Becca have just ordered some dies from C & C which is at the show shame this die was not on the show Booh
fab card ,so delicate and feminine ,Very pretty .Laura O
So beautiful! Your heart is full of colorful melodies that sing out in your paper rafting! You are my creative inspiration. Thank you!
Help–I am going broke!! Everything you show is so beautiful and then I think I have to get the dies too. It would be so nice to have them all but have found that I can usually use what I have and come up with a good facsimile. But I will continue to buy when there is one that I think I can’t live without. by the way I love, love, love your work!
Simple & elegant….. the sentiment is perfect, too. Looking forward to seeing what you create! Have a lovely Sunday
Hi Becca
As always, love the card. I will have to have this new die, so elegant. Thanks for sharing.

Love your card Becca and I was contemplating purchasing that die and I think that you’ve helped me make up my mind. I just love the new dies that Spellbinders have come out with. I keep saying that there is no way that they can top the old ones, but they do!
I have been pre-ordering some 2014 Spellbinders dies but haven’t seen this one as yet. It is definitely going on my list!! Your card is beautiful and I will have to try this design. BTW, when I use one of your designs, I always add the note ‘Design by Becca Feeken’ below my signature on the back. I’m hoping folks will check out your blog and become as enamored with this craft as I was when I discovered your blog and saw what wonderful things could be created!!
I NOTICED the THREADED PEARLS RIGHT OFF THE BAT, Becca!!! AND WONDERED HOW you did them without fraying the ribbon!!! LOL They DO LOOK DIVINE!!!!!!!:) AND your card is GLORIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) SIGH! You’re off to a FABULOUS START of the year, my friend! :) OF COURSE, we’ll be RIGHT HERE WAITING WITH BAITED BREATHE TO SEE YOUR CREATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!:) ALL YEAR LONG & LONGER!!!!!!!!!:)

Good evening Becca,
Another beautiful card that looks just so lovely. Everything seems to complement each other just perfectly. Oh i love the new dies that are on our screens from California as they are so pretty and just add to what we have giving our old dies a new lease of life.
Thank you for the beautiful card and inspiration Becca,
Love and crafty hugs

This card is scrumptious! But, then, all of yours are. Thanks so very much for sharing. What is the lovely flowered background paper?
Beautiful words, gorgeous dies, beautiful presentation…..a typical Becca card.
LOL Eileen U.K.
Love the new die you used- it frames the sentiment perfectly and looks great against the floral background paper you chose. Gorgeous.
I searched for your blog. You were the first email I opened this year, and I was not disappointed. Another stunning start to a new year and you seem to get better and better you make red letter days out of ordinary days for your blog friends and for this I thank you. Beautiful sentiments on an equally beautiful card
This is gorgeous Becca, love the design paper and the sentiment is awesome.
Gorgeous card Becca…love the soft romantic colors & embellishments!
What a beautiful card Becca, as you always create. I love the paper in the background with these die cuts and stamp, it looks gorgeous.
This is a gorgeous card and that sentiment is so beautiful and endearing! It brought tears to my eyes thinking how if I were the recipient of such a beautiful sentiment, how I would feel….LOVED!
Valerie
We’ll ALL be sticking with you in 2014 Becca, where would we all be without your inspirational work, beautiful card x
I am so in love with this card! I have not yet seen it available in the UK to pre-order, but as soon as it is I’ll be buying it! Stunning!

Pretty, elegant and really delightful.
Now that I have discovered your creations, I will be waiting eagerly for the next one.
I do like the look of this new die.
I love everything you make Becca and am never disappointed. Another great creation!
What a wonderful slew of cards you’ve posted. Haven’t had a chance to comment on each one, but each is beautiful; each is different. Lovely work.
So beautiful, elegant, and fresh. Love it! You create such beauty with those hands God gave you…He is proud…and I know he is too.
Just when I think I have it all here comes a new batch. I pre ordered $50 worth yesterday.
This card is simply beautiful but of I don’t have the main die. Love you anyway!

Beautiful card. I am so anxious for the new releases from Spellbinders! I certainly don’t know how you and the other designers keep coming up with each of the beautiful designs – but I am sure glad that you do! I’m also happy that you are finding peace in your life and pray that God will continue to bless you.
I shall be here. I just love your work. So pleased to learn that you have been able to ‘sort out’ whatever was getting in your way.
Oh wow. What a gorgeous card! I love that new die set. It’s definitely going on my ‘must have’ list. :D
Stunning! I love this Spellbinder die and QuietFire’s stamps are very unique. Beautiful work.
Becca,
There is no way that I would leave your site. I have learn some much from you. You are right, this card makes a perfect valentine. Just beautiful.
Beautiful. Love the new spellbinder die

Morning Becca, Wow !! this card is stunning, I love the backing paper, love the new die, I adore the flowers, ribbon with pearls and filigree, what a fabulous idea. This sentiment has really touched my heart, it is so emotional. Your cards always touch my heart.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Can’t tear myself away …!
Stunning card Becca, and I love the bow – it really sets it off. Must go and look at the new sentiments, but I’ll have to be frugal, I’ve indulged quite a lot recently.
Good morning Becca
What an elegant and beautiful card I love the new die just hope it is not too long in arriving in the UK. I love how you loop your ribbons with the added beauty of flowers too. The sentiment you have used really pulls at the heart strings to is just so lovely. You are such a wonderful inspiration thank you.
With love
Margaret
Such a beautiful card Becca and the sentiment is quite profound. Love all the detail. tfs

Gorgeous, love the paper, the layering and your pearl accents and lovely ribbon behind the layer. That is a great sentiment!
Hi Becca. Beautiful! So glad to hear that you are in a good place in your heart and head. Take care.
Absolutely beautiful card – your work never ceases to amaze me! Would you mind sharing what company makes the background paper with the little roses on it? I am in love with this paper and love how you always tie it together!
Hugs – Sue
Becca, what a beautiful card. Your work is always just stunning. Thanks for sharing and inspiring
I just love how you’re using the pearls on your ribbons, Becca! How do you attach them so that they stay put? Glue, knot the ribbon, …? I’d like to give this a try!
I absolutely adore this card. I love the card itself but the sentiment really caught my heart. My first thought was how this expresses how I feel about my hubby and my second one was for you, Becca. I know you must miss your husband and making a card like this must touch that ache that never goes away. Thank you for sharing this lovely creation with us. I am ordering the stamp tonight so I can make a Valentine card for my hubby.
Bless you, Becca. You are a true gem.
