Elegantly Framed Birthday


Hi there, blog friends!  I spent some time in the craft room this evening and worked up something using one of the new JustRite Stampers sets from their Cling Collection called Elegant Frames. It’s my first time to use this particular set and it’s oh, so pretty!!   These thick frames were designed to match Spellbinders Labels Ten but I had no problem getting away with using the oval.   So, I had a date with my Grand Calibur! Seriously, I’m an so in love with being able to make shape cards with the Grand Nesties.   That’s what I did with Spellbinders Grand Labels One – I simply folded my cardstock and oriented the fold line at the top of the die template – then moved the edge of the folded line down until I knew my card would be 5.5″ tall.  That’s it!!  It’s nice to take a break from the square card!


The medallion I created consists of Spellbinders Grommet Tags, layered on Spellbinders Classic Ovals SM, layered on Spellbinders Labels Seventeen, layered on Spellbinders Parisian Motifs, lastly layered on Spellbinders Labels Eight.  I think they all fit together rather nicely :-)

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: JustRite Stampers – Elegant Frames
Paper: Coredinations, K & Company
Ink: Versafine Vintage Sepia
Accessories: Spellbinders Classic Ovals SM, Spellbinders Labels Seventeen, Spellbinders Parisian Motifs, Spellbinders Labels Eight, Spellbinders Grand Labels One, Spellbinders Grommet Tags, Pearls, Ribbon

Take care sweet friends.  I’ll pop in again tomorrow with something new!!

    I, too love your cards….I have stopped all the other “card blogs” I receive, because no one measures even close to your creations. I simply wonder how you have the time to both invent and create a new card everyday. But I know I soooooooo look forward to every day. Yesterday I bought my 3/8″ dowel to make the peg bow stand….can’t wait! Keep up the great creations and inspire me everyday!ReplyCancel

    Becca, your work never ceases to amaze me. I like an elegant style as opposed to cutesy, and your work never fails to be classy and elegant. I’m collecting Spellbinders dies slowly as they do add up, but can’t wait till I can pull off something like this. TFS.
