Today there’s lots of things to catch you up on including a new card using Charming Christmas Words and a winner from the Giveaway. So, keep scrolling! Oh, also, many, many of my dies are being clearance out HERE.

I’ve been huddled behind the scenes for quite some time, organizing, dreaming and making samples for an upcoming Hochanda show. On Tuesday, September 24 and Wednesday, September 25 I’ll be debuting a new collection on Hochanda and would love it if you could peek in.

New Card
I haven’t shared a card in a while, so I thought I would plug along at my growing Christmas Card List. I pulled together a card framing a new Quietfire Design sentiment – called Let Us Remember. It’s made using Charming Christmas Words for a frame. The technique is similar to one I’ve used in the past. I mitered each edge of the word frame by cutting at an angle, but it’s also easily done with the Graceful Frame Maker Die (currently on sale). I found this was a simply cool way to frame any sentiment and add embellishment to your card.
Giveaway – Winner from Charming Cottage Blog Hop
Thank you so much for entering. We combined all the comments from all six blogs in order to randomly pick a winner.
The winner – international included – who will get the die of their choice from any of my collections prior to A Charming Christmas is:
A New Giveaway – What Becca Wore
In the past, when I’ve gone onto TV, I try to come up with some totally fun giveaway to celebrate the occasion – so, I have a New Giveaway. This is a bit ‘cheeky’ to coin a British phrase but the name of the giveaway is “What Becca Wore“. Most people wouldn’t recognize me by face because most often, you see my hands on my Youtube Channel, Instagram, and even my blog; I’m rarely in pictures and even rarer on camera. Lol, many times when I’m answering your comments or chatting with Gracelets (those sweet people who visit Amazing Paper Grace) on Instagram, I’m comfy in yoga pants or jammies. It dawned on me – those are not going to fly on air so I had to grab a couple of tops!
On September 25 & September 26 as well as October 3 & 4 I’ll be appearing on Hochanda to share some demos on some of my upcoming releases. News flash! You’ll get to see more than my hands!!
I’ll be giving away dies from A Charming Christmas Collection. Open to all including international friends. Eligible to win one die of your choice on each of four days by following directions below.
- Simply tune in to Hochanda on the dates listed above to have a look and notice the pattern and dominant color on the top I’m wearing.
- Then Do Not Leave A Comment (because comments are public)
- INSTEAD, hit the contact tab in the upper right side of my blog.
- In the contact form type the heading “What Becca Wore” and for each day separately, Describe the Pattern of my top and Give me the Dominant Color of my top – one entry for each day.
1 winner will be picked for each day of the show. Winners will be shared on September 29 for the September Shows and on October 6 for the October Shows.
Then, once you sent off your email from my contact form, please leave me comment on the blog (without any color information) and let me know what else you’d like to see me demo on TV. To be fair, for the time frame of the contest I’ll have to erase any comments giving color hints.
Stamps: Quietfire Design – Let Us Remember
Paper: Neenah Classic Crest – Natural White – Cover – 80lb smooth, Gold Foil Paper, Kraft Paper – Parklane
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black

Lovely card again. Where do you get your gold foil paper. I can’t find a nice one and yours always look nice and shiny. Thanks
I love this card!!! All of your cards in your Holiday Collection this season have been beautiful! Have a great time in the UK!!
I just love this beautiful card. You always have such wonderful taste. Always love watching your demonstrations, they are always so helpful. Wish I had more time to just sit and watch. Guess that would be a good way for me to diet, just stay glued to the demo’s you do and that would keep me out of the kitchen. LOL… God bless…Denice with a “c”
Good morning Becca, fabulous card!!!
Can’t wait got tv set to record?
Have fun!!!

Looking forward to seeing your shows on Hochanda.
Hi, Becca,
Is this exciting or what? 2 new collections? I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us. Shadowbox Vignettes sounds very intriguing. I have really enjoyed the 3-D Vignette dies. Without a whole lot of effort on my part, I can create a card that delivers on the “wow-factor” big time! So fun!
Looking forward to seeing you this week.
Love and blessings, Sandy
I’m looking forward to your shows on Hochanda and to your new collections. Sue Wilson mentioned you when she was here in the UK last week. She was very complimentary. I love the sentiment on your latest card. Wouldn’t the world be a much nicer place if everyone acted that way!
For some unknown reason I stopped getting your blog emails? I’ve missed them!
Hi Becca, so lovely to see you back on our UK television screens and I am so excited by your new shadow box dies. Your demonstration of how to die cut and construct has been superb.
Looking forward to the rest of the shows.

This is the first time I’ve seen you do a demo. Forgive me if you’ve already done this but I would love to see you show how to use the frame maker. Thank you.
Beautiful Christmas card! omigosh! LOVE the shadowbox dies! I love seeing all your card tutorials as I’m a cardmaker! Would love to see more videos and helpful hints!
Hugs, Christine
Welcome to The UK. Lovely to see you on our screens with a fantastic die set. Xx
Becca….you are a genius!! What a stunning new collection you are rolling out in England. I absolutely love it all. The shadow boxes are amazing! Your engineering is Amazing!! And more inserts for your 3D sets…..just what I wanted. I so love that you can mix and match. And all the frames for the shadow boxes. Happy Sigh. Keep dreaming!
Hello Becca, really enjoyed your shows over the past two days and looking forward to next weeks shows on Hochanda.
