Hi there blog friends!   We are to Day Three of releases for the Waltzingmouse Stamps February sets.  Today we’re introducing two more new sets – Compact Sentiments and Heritage Patterns.   I couldn’t resist stamping out the harlequin pattern to use for my background on Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Three!  For the rest of my card I went with tones of an aqua that has some gray or blue in it, and was able to work it into the flowers made with Spellbinders™ Bitty Blossoms.


I loved the contrast of the white so I also used some embellishing curls from Spellbinders™ Floral Flourishes.  For my sentiment I simply cut a banner and snipped the ends, then stamped and curled up the edges.  Compact Sayings is one of those stash must haves – the sayings will take you through quite a few occasions!

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps:  Waltzingmouse Stamps – Compact Sentiments & Heritage Patterns
Paper:  Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80 lb cover,  American Crafts 
Ink: Versacolor – Laurel Leaf
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Floral Flourishes, Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Three, Spellbinders™ Bitty Blossoms, Lace, Cosage Pins, Recollections Pearls, Satin Ribbon, Clear Embossing Powder

Here are the design team members who have creations to share today.  I hope you can pop in and have a peek at what they have been working on!!

    Na.na.na.na.nahhhhh!!! What am I singing and chiding about? Well, yesterday, the mailman delivered to me the FINEST Peg Bow Maker out there to my home … nahh.nahhh.nahhhhhh. And in it, because I was one of the lucky first 100 buyers, was a beeeeee-ooooooo-utiful card handmade by none other than Ms. Becca herself.

    So first, I need to say THANK YOU to you, Becca, for sharing your glory with us, in all you do. You are one of the world’s brightest gems.

    Second, and no less of a compliment, this card shown here is luscious! I love the soft colors and the beautiful flowers and WMS stamps. Thank you for all you share!!

    Fondly,
    Ellen – CardMonkeyReplyCancel

  • Kelly SchirmerFebruary 28, 2012 - 5:52 am

    GASP….it’s like a dream! The layering of the harlequin pattern with the lace is gorgeous! As is your sweet bouquet and then that perfectly-tied-fantastically- beautiful-white satin bow! This is the best thank you card ever :) The recipient will surely faint, and then do more special things for you in order to get another card, heeee :)ReplyCancel

  • Lori EllFebruary 28, 2012 - 6:20 am

    I LOVE this color. I am usually all about crisp pastels; no “muddy” colors as I tend to call them. But this one has me… I even bought some little floral pieces in this color to use as soon as the opportunity presents itself. Your use of the crisp white makes it look so fresh. I love it!

  • Edna BurgessFebruary 29, 2012 - 7:56 am

    Didn’t see where to comment on the operation of your bow maker company. I’ll save this and show it to my son who built me my bow maker when you first had it as know he’ll enjoy seeing it. How wonderful you found someone to make them as not everyone has someone to do it for them. EdnaReplyCancel

  • LizFebruary 29, 2012 - 10:14 am

    Love this card! Just my opinion about the bowmaker. I don’t like putting things together and no hubby to do it for me. Honestly, if the thing was already put together, I’d buy it. I know it would cost more with shipping. You might think about making that an option?ReplyCancel

Hi there blog friends, tell me I’m not crazy, please!  My received this envelope in the mail yesterday from my dear sweet friend Suzanne Cannon with Quietfire Design (addresses photoshopped out).  Oh, I was enthralled by the swirls and details, examining the penmanship while walking back to the house from the mailbox.  Who doesn’t practically skip when such delightful envelope comes their way?  Mr. Mailman – eat your heart out!!  I marveled over it, looked at the handwriting from all angles and poured over the details of the Canadian stamps.  This is a sickness, right?  So today I have to figure out a way to get the contents out while preserving this treasure!  Just in case you didn’t know, I’m a big fan of Suzanne and her stamps at Quietfire Design . . .  By the way, is it curious that the stamps were not cancelled?  Is that the way it works for things that come from Canada or was the mailman just mesmerized like I was – by such a pretty sweet thing?

Today I wanted to share with you the final part of an ensemble I made for Spellbinders, It’s a 6″ x 6″ calendar holder with a tiny bit of inspiration.  This is just the kind of thing I love to have sitting on my desk to remind me why I love to craft.  It’s very simple in design but the embossing is really the main feature.  It’s not made how you think – the simple way it’s made makes it an easy gift item – easier than a card – I’ll reconstruct it in coming days.


I downloaded the calendar for this project at the Canon site – here’s a link to Canon Creative Park :-)

 

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Life Is A Song
Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Cream 80lb Cover Cardstock, Bazzill
Ink: Versafine Onxy Black
Accessories: Spelllbinders™ Valor M-Bossabilities™, Seam Binding, Bead Landing Filigree, ScorPal Scoring Bard, ScorPal, Peg Bow Maker (Triple Bow), Recollections Pearls, clear embossing powder

Thanks for stopping by, see you soon!!  Crafty smooches!!

    You have very kind postal workers – I’ll bet they figured the person receiving this would want to keep the envelope (who wouldn’t?!) so why mar it with their ink…Suzanne’s work is amazing…as is yours, as always! xoxoxoReplyCancel

  • MarisaFebruary 22, 2012 - 9:24 am

    Beautiful project, Becca! Amazing that your letter got there with the way the name was beautifully caligraphied on it, but what a great treat :) I see you have some of our Chinese New Year stamps – they are always so bright and fun to look at. Believe it is the year of the dragon again and their dragon images are always so fun! As for the postage marks, they are usually there, you got lucky they were not stamped.ReplyCancel

  • Dottie DavisFebruary 22, 2012 - 9:44 am

    Am I not seeing something….there is no address just your name on the envelope? Amazing, but then when the Lord wants to get something done things like this happen, His love never fails. I am looking forward to the directions on this bright little card. Getting to really like those “blues.”ReplyCancel

  • Elaine AllenFebruary 22, 2012 - 9:50 am

    Becca –

    What a lucky girl you are to get something so wonderfully penned by Suzanne! It is gorgeous, and no you are not crazy to try and preserve it, it is beautiful. Just as beautiful as your calendar holder! WOW! You never cease to amaze me with all your talent, beautiful work.

    I love seeing Quietfire Designs stamps in your work — always a great example of a beautiful stamp and a papercrafter setting it off perfectly!ReplyCancel

  • Judy I, St. Louis MOFebruary 22, 2012 - 10:04 am

    Wow, Becca, that envelope is amazing! I assume it got to you without an address because of the barcode on the bottom-wonderful mail service!
    Your calender is awesome. At first I wondered what embossing folder that was, but then thought it must be one of the new Spellbinders M-bossibilities, Yup! then looked at the supplies list. Might just have to break down and get this one. Love it! Thank you so much for all your inspiration. I just received the twisted metal tags and accents. Can’t wait to use them.

    What a delightful surprise you received! No, it is not the habit of having our stamps not cancelled.

  • BernieFebruary 22, 2012 - 11:19 am

    This is BEAUTIFUL! What a lovely gift this would be. Looking forward to the tutorial.

    Receiving an envelope like that would get my heart a racing, oh the anticipation. Something so beautiful would surely contain some thing special. I don’t know how you waited to take a photo of it, photoshop it and post it. I’d have had the kettle on and steamed it open before the mail man made it round the corner. Interesting that there is a bar code at the bottom but those spectacular stamps were not canceled.

  • SuzanneFebruary 22, 2012 - 11:20 am

    Oh, lol! That was a surprise! Had I known you were going to do that I would have been a bit more careful and at least matched the colour of the lettering to the stamp!

    Beautiful project Becca! You are a superstar!ReplyCancel

  • FrancineFebruary 22, 2012 - 11:25 am

    For me it’s happen 4 -5 times a year my stamps are not obliterate in particular during Chrismas time.
    I love so much this enveloppe. It was in my goals for this year to practice
    Calligraphy. I have try but I am very far of something OK.
    In Europe it is much more popular than here so we don’t have an easy access I cannot find an amazing calligrapher…I would like so much to learn from some one, I feel the enveloppe is so neglected.

    You made again a very nice project. Thank for showing this enveloppe it is so perfect with your work.

    I understand just how you feel Becca. Every Christmas I get a card from my old calligraphy teacher and I always want to keep the envelopes (never mind the painted card with the beautifully hand-written sentiment inside!) just like you do :)ReplyCancel

  • Yvonne TuneFebruary 22, 2012 - 12:20 pm

    The envelope is beautiful, but I am more amazed that the letter got to you without an address, It’s not just me who thinks your fantastic, you really are world famous, so don’t need an address.ReplyCancel

  • SusanFebruary 22, 2012 - 12:52 pm

    Your Canadian stamps should have been franked Becca — I think you’re right — they were likely mesmerized by that beautiful lettering.
    Your Spellbinders projects are gorgeous as always!ReplyCancel

  • JessicaFebruary 22, 2012 - 12:58 pm

    I’m with you Becca! I can’t imagine getting an envelope that looks that lovely! Maybe the mailman didn’t want to destroy the art work. Or maybe it was canceled on the back. Anyway…it is gorgeous. And so are the pieces you shared today. TFSReplyCancel

  • DawnFebruary 22, 2012 - 12:59 pm

    Beautiful envelope. I would be steaming that bad boy open. I have to chuckle reading the comments on here in regards to it getting to you with out an address. I guess the small print is hard to read. LOLReplyCancel

    I am a BIG fan of both you and Suzanne. I still have an envelope sent to me by Suzanne! I’m looking foward to the tutorial on this calendar card. It’s absolutely gorgeous!!ReplyCancel

  • EileenFebruary 22, 2012 - 1:30 pm

    Only a Special Person would do something like that on your envelope, you have a lovely friend! I get Christmas cards from a few ladies I taught Calligraphy to years ago and they are still using their talent which is nice.
    I love the simplicity of your calendar and the clean colours of the blue and white and you are right, the embossing is a lovely feature.

    LOL EileenReplyCancel

  • Nancy WFebruary 22, 2012 - 2:18 pm

    I’ve done a little bit of calligraphy in my past but had difficulty in finding a great calligraphy pen until recently. The Pilot Parallel Pens are beautifully crafted and there are so many colors of ink cartridges! Actually I’ve learned the trick of blending 2 and 3 colors together. It’s really magical and easy! I’ve found some of these pens at art supplies stores and the pens come in 4 different nib sizes as well as 3 “altered” sizes from the original nibs. Also available online, of course.

    Becca, you should definitely try your hand at calligraphy. I’ll bet you will excel once you get the hang of it.ReplyCancel

  • DianneFebruary 22, 2012 - 2:19 pm

    Perhaps she photshopped out the address?ReplyCancel

  • Darlene PFebruary 22, 2012 - 2:25 pm

    Becca – if you place the envelope in the freezer, the glue should freeze and then pop open without having to slice it open or otherwise damage it.

    The calendar is simply marvelous!!!ReplyCancel

  • JoannFebruary 22, 2012 - 2:30 pm

    Becca this is just so beautiful. I love all your work. I sit back and follow you daily and am inspired so much by you. As for your beautifully decorated envelope from your friend, very beautiful and eyecatching!ReplyCancel

  • RebeccaFebruary 22, 2012 - 2:34 pm

    I live in Canada and I find that once in a while the machines maybe skip an envie and it doesn’t get cancelled. So of course I save them and reuse them! Or save the envelope by opening it carefully and place stickers over the addresses and reuse it! They are usually cancelled tho. No way a postal worker didn’t cancel it on purpose because it’s done by machine. Nice thought tho! :)ReplyCancel

  • Chris ArlingtonFebruary 22, 2012 - 2:52 pm

    Isn’t Suzanne wonderful ! I was in West Coast Calligraphy when she lived in Vancouver. Took a few of her workshops. Never will be a good as her. I would email her she knows a lot of tricks and probably how to open easily. The freezer idea sounds feasible.
    I love your calendar. Can hardly wait for a tutorial.ReplyCancel

  • yvonneFebruary 22, 2012 - 3:50 pm

    Can you tell me who made the stamp you used? I thought it was from Quietfire, but no such luck. ThanksReplyCancel

  • christiFebruary 22, 2012 - 3:59 pm

    ok, if the envelope is gummed you can steam it open and leave intact. good luck. you may just want to use a razor to cut one end right on the crease. don’t get the steam on the front or it may make the ink run. i have found her site by links from you. it’s a wonderful place. more talent than should be legal and great customer service. we chatted briefly. as always your work is wonderful. i have a girls weekend for stamping and may try it soon. have a wonderful day. and let us know what was in the envelope please.ReplyCancel

  • Kathy SFebruary 22, 2012 - 4:10 pm

    Morning Becca,
    In this time of bills and flyers it is fabulous to get a personal letter or card in the post but what a wonderful treat getting an envelope address like that! Just a note to us crafters that we should take some pride in our envelopes too.

    I’ve been promising myself that I’ll learn calligraphy ( true to form I have the pens & books but not the time) but I’ll make time starting today.

    Have a happy day and hopefully it will be crafting (we love your inspirations)

    Oh my word! Who wouldn’t want to receive an envelope in the mail with that lettering!!! Good friends are hard to come by and ones that can write like that are one in a million. Keep her and cherish her. Apparently she cherishes you! Have a great day!ReplyCancel

  • HeatherFebruary 23, 2012 - 8:21 am

    Becca – how lovely to receive something as gorgeous as this and you would rightly want to preserve it…….
    I love your calendar holder which is equally beautiful – looking forward to the tutorial and I know I will be making one for my granddaughter. I’m off now to look at that site. tfs

  • Lindyloo, South Wales, UKFebruary 23, 2012 - 9:50 am

    Hi Becca,
    This is lovely and again the colours are so regal.
    I think I know how you have made this, as I have done this before for a folded album. Is it folding a piece of double sided 12×12 heavyweight paper, with a diamond shape linking piece between as the spine? If it is, this is a wonderful technique to learn isn’t it, as it can be used for smaller sizes too and can be made into special gifts. I have seen a fabulous wall hanging done by linking 3or 4 ‘squares’ together (8×8 paper making a 4inch finished piece) and adhered pictures in the middle. Also, another lovely blogger made one with an initial in each square with foliage embellishments to celebrate the Autumn season.
    Another wonderful Becca idea with the calender and I love it.
    Thank you Becca. Take care LindaReplyCancel

  • auntie em (emily)February 23, 2012 - 9:52 am

  • LalaFebruary 23, 2012 - 1:25 pm

    Hi Becca, I think the world of calligraphers and cardmakers is a whole lot more creative since you and Suzanne became such a “made in heaven team”. In my opinion our Canadian Postal Service really does go all out when it come to stamp design. I can really personalize each card that I send out by selecting carefully from all their beautiful designs. Your little calendar design would make a lovely little gift for a dear friend…and it lasts a whole year. Clever you!ReplyCancel

  • RockyFebruary 23, 2012 - 1:38 pm

    That’s much better than getting a type written bill ! May I suggest steaming the envelope open over a boiling kettle, it shouldn’t damage the writting. Love the calendar.ReplyCancel

    Hi, I put this comment under the Hex box you made which is beautiful BTW! What I was wondering, is there instructions on how to make the card above? And, I went to the Canon site and could not find the calendar you used on the card. All of the ones I saw on the Canon site are 4 X 6 or larger. The calendar you used looks like it is probably smaller. Could you tell me what size this calendar is and where it might be located on the site. Thank you so much, your work is beautiful!

Hi there blog friends, conquering another item I’ve had on the side of my desk for months.  Are your ready to do more scoring and folding?  Well then, I have another tutorial for you!  This one will allow you to make a Decorative Border Folded Envelope to accommodate a 5.5″ x 5.5″ card.  There are two options for folding and many different options for embellishing – all of them will give you a different look.   On the sample above I’ve used Spellbinders™ Classic Edges One and Spellbinders™ Classic Decorative Inserts Two.

For the next sample I used a Martha Stewart Corner Punch and a Martha Stewart Border Punch, along with a rolled rose, pearls and seam binding.

For the last sample I used a Martha Stewart Border Punch, Satin Ribbon a button and a brad.

Here’s the video to show you how:

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: None
Paper:  American Crafts
Ink: None
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Classic Edges One, Spellbinders™ Classic Decorative Inserts Two,  Martha Stewart Corner Punch, Martha Stewart Border Punches, ribbon, pearls, seam binding, brad, button, corsage pins

I love this envelope – so easy and so pretty!!  I hope you’ll give it a try.  See you soon!

  • Sandra McCoyFebruary 20, 2012 - 1:44 pm

    I love this and wouldn’t use it for an envelope at all. Instead, I would finish the inside with whatever theme my card would be (birthday, condolence, invitation) and use it without putting another piece in it. One thing makes it difficult for me is the lack of written instructions. I have to watch the tutorial for a couple of times and write down the first few steps, then go to my craft area and do those steps. Then come back and watch the next few steps, take notes and go back to work on it. There is only one computer in my home and only one room with grounded plugs where it would be safe to use it.ReplyCancel

    Question: When using the Edgeabilities, did you use your Grand Caliber or can the border be cut using a regular size Cuttlebug?ReplyCancel
