February 2014 Designabilities – The Sweetest Flower

Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Spellbinders Mediterranean Medallion Embossing Folder and JustRite Papercrafts Welcome Spring
Good Sunday Morning sweet blog friends – I hope your week was magnificent and that next week is stacking up for more of the same.  Today I’m participating in a fun blog hop with my team mates from the Spellbinders Blog Team.  We all just got together on our own and decided to post our creations on the same day, so there’s lots to see.   Today I have a card that uses an embossed background to enhance the shape of the dies layered on top – really it doesn’t get much easier than this and the detail of the embossing does all the heavy lifting.  I broke up my 5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″ base with a couple of layers topped with Spellbinders Mediterranean Medallion.  On the bottom of that layer I attached Spellbinders A2 Bracket Borders One, wrapping the excess around the edges.  The card is topped off with Spellbinders A2 Valiant Honor (stenciled with Victorian Velvet while still in the die), stamped with JustRite Papercrafts Welcome Spring and embellished with pearls and bows.

  • Jackie PFebruary 16, 2014 - 10:58 am

    Just wanted to let you know…I sit here and scroll up and down….up and down looking at your cards. And I seem to do this for several minutes some times!!! I just realized that I do this…almost every time haha!!! I am thinking a quick video of your cards, holding it at different angles. You don’t have to do a lot of talking, just more so the depth and so forth can be seen. After who knows how many scrolls up and down I realized you put the ribbon under a piece of the die!! Spellbinders have so much detail, which is most likely why we all love and are obsessed with them (ok so I am) but I am sure I am not alone!!!
    Till next time Becca!

    I enjoyed your decorated pin on this card. I always wanted to use pins but am always hesitate. Uncertain on how to make them and utilize them. Do you dull the ends so no one gets stuck? -conReplyCancel
