Hi there blog friends! I have a new card to share, but thought I’d keep the post short and sweet since I have family visiting. Since I spent a bit of time cataloging my embossing folders, I was inspired by all that luscious texture and wanted to capture it in a card. I thought the embossing was so exquisite that I decided to stick to one color so that the embossing would take center stage. Imagine that, making a paper choice within a couple of minutes – are you with me? My card is 5.5″ tall by 7.5″ wide. I started out by cutting the scallop bottom using Spellbinders™ Classic Scallop Edgeabilities. I then cut three 2.25″ strips, trimmed them to points, embossed each using Spellbinders™ Elegance M-Bossabilities (Side B), placed small pearls on each flower motif then attached the strips to my card. Once I could see where each of my points would fall I could gauge where to put my sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs - Flourished Verses set. Spellbinders™ Bitty Blossoms grace the bottom of each strip right above their point. I let my satin ribbon and eyelet lace span the top of the card and perched the triple bow made with the Peg Bow Maker on top of Spellbinders™ Picot Edged Circles before attaching to the card.
This is an easy format card with a dressy look, that can be changed up for Wedding, Christening, Anniversary, New Baby, Easter . . . I can think of many so more. Imagine just putting some soft color in on the embossed flowers and echoing that soft color in the ribbon! No matter the occasion, it’s a great way to show off some embossing, so this one goes into my card file for when I need a quick card – I hope I’ve given you an idea to tuck away for a rainy day :-)

Of course you’ve given me more wonderful inspiration to tuck way for a rainy day! What a beautiful card, and you’re right, this idea could be used for so many different occasions. I love how you placed the ribbon over the Picot-Edged Circles. I really like that pearl brad you have in the center of the bow – any idea who makes those?

I love white on white cards!! No matter how simple they’re made they are always so elegant!!! I, also, find them the most challenging because to keep VERY clean throughout the making can be quite hard to do; but the results are always so stunning.

Such an elegant card you have created Becca. I think this would make a lovely wedding card. Love the texture that the embossing has made. This is so soft and feminine and mono chromatic color scheme is the way to go at times. So glad you are enjoying time with your sweet son. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D

I have always loved white on white cards….to me they signify etherial, peace, simplistic, wedding and graceful. The embossing pops on the card and gives it a very graceful appearance….and of course your finishing touches are as always perfection.

It is really nice.
But I don’t understand how you can do the classic scallop on just the top of the card because the back have no scallop … I don’t know for me both parts will be scallop because my machine is not enoff wide a cannot do
It with my card open.
How big is your die machine?
It is not the first time this problem happen and I don’t understand how you do it.
If someone have the answer would you please tell me how it is done.
Merci beaucoup.

Once again you produce a beautiful card. I am thinking already that I can use this as a starting point…I do not have the flower die, nor any Edgeabilities, but I think I can use what I have to make a decent effort.
Thanks a million. Enjoy your week.

Love this card! Simply elegant!! Enjoy the time with your son. I lost my oldest son almost a year ago. He lost his battle with depression and We have been devastated…If I could only tell him how much we loved him and miss him each and every day…take advantage of every minute you have with him. Make him your priority while he is visiting.

This is an absolutely MUST make card. I will just have to make some substitutions for items I don’t have yet. But you always make me think I CAN do it!
Love everything — the white-on-white, the layout, the embossing,, the bow (I am thrilled with the peg bow maker that my husband made for me from your directions) and the flowers.
Opening your blog is such a happy time in my day. Thank you!
(Enjoy your family time! How about a photo of you and your son?)

I think this is a gorgeous card, but you didn’t mention the flowers. Are these a Spellbinders die as well? Also what did you use to do the striped embossing on the underlayer?

This card is so beautiful. I am left wondering if you used the ScorePal for the underlayment card stock stripes as I do not see a MBossibilities with that.
This card has so much potential for other occasions….I have a Silver Wedding Anniversary occasion to go to and I think this will be a hit. Thank you for the ideas! They are awesome.

I’ve had a long-standing love affair with white on white. In fact, it inspired me to learn to emboss (in the pre-Cuttlebug era) with a stylus and lightbox. But one thing is for sure, I’ve never seen W on W done as lovely as it is on your card.

Good evening Becka, I was wondering if you have had any trouble with the spellbinders “Fancy Tags Three”? I tried removing the fancy tag with all the holes around it and the fancy wings on it ripped. Tried it twice and it was very hard to remove and it ripped both times.
Sincerely,
Linda

Becca, I am new to your site. I haven’t made cards in awhile, and I got stuck on the darn bows. I was in a swap (before I saw your video’s) so I did the best could, sent them out and figured oh well. Now I want those cards back so I can make the bows beautiful, like yours!!! You are so talented, and so sweet for sharing. I am so glad I found You!!!! Blessings, v now I don’t have an excuse…yeah!!!! <3

I have just found your site from Pinterest and adore your work. I am new to scrapbooking and cardmaking and had not heard of Spellbinders. Notice they have a machine Grand Calibur, is this what you use for cutting and embossing. Is it similar to Cricut products? Thanks so much for your tutorials they are great! Take care, Lynne
