You Are The Best

by on September 14, 2012


Hello there blog friends!  Busy month!  I haven’t been here to blog but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been working :-)  In fact, my new kit (October’s Kit) will be out tomorrow and it features new stamps and a new die template.  If you get a chance, be sure to come by tomorrow – this month there are extra kits that can be purchased without having to get a membership.  It’s a great opportunity to try before you buy a membership but there are a limited number – just sayin’.  So, I have been crafting and in fact I have a card to share today made with a new Lace Background Stamp by JustRite Papercrafts.  I stamped it onto gingham design paper and layered it on top of Spellbinders™ Resplendent Rectangles for a fancy border.  Now the die is not big enough to border the entire panel so I simply cut it twice.  Make it work, right?  Stretch those dies, you know it!!  My card size if 5.5″ x 7″ which is my favorite size these days and it just so happens that’s the size of the Spellbinders™ Grand Large Labels I used to make the card base – one of my favorites because it’s just the right size.  

For the beautiful sentiment I pulled from the new JustRite Grand Sentiments set and it fits perfectly on Spellbinders™ Decorative Labels Eight.   I finished off with pearls, a white seam binding bow and a prima rose that I peeled down to be the size I needed :-)

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: JustRite PapercraftsGrand Sentiments, Lace Background
Paper: Girls Paperie, Bazzill
Ink: Victorian Velvet Distress Ink
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Resplendent RectanglesSpellbinders™ Grand Large LabelsSpellbinders™ Decorative Labels Eightseam binding, prima rose,  Recollections Pearls, Zva Creative Pearls

Hugs to you all, thanks for stopping by today — see ya tomorrow :-)

I never in a million years would have thought to stamp on the gingham paper. That is why I love your blog – you are always thinking outside the box!

Hi Becca! Gosh, I’ve missed you! Do you even realize how much you mean to those of us who have not even met you personally?? My daughter and I were just talking yesterday that we missed your posts.

I absolutely love this card; pink is becoming my favorite color – thanks to you! ( -: I was trying to see where you actually cut the Resplendent Rectangle but could not even detect that it was cut. Another card for my future stash!

Love,
Rhea

Such a very lovely and stunning card!! I just love the effect of the lace background stamped on the checkered paper. Glad to have you back, Becca. For days I was “starved” with your beautiful creations–every so often I kept checking out if you were back yet.

I just ordered the new lace stamp. I just love your card and would have never thought to stamp it on gingham! Although you often cost me money (because I have to buy all your supplies used!), but you also show us how to stretch our old supplies, like the gingham idea. You have been missed-but don’t work to hard. We want a healthy, rested Becca!!
Hugs,
Cindy

How do you keep little pearls on the card? What works best? They come with stick on the back, but I don’ trust it. HELP!!!! Your cards are always so gorgeous.
