Hi there blog friends!  Hoping your Sunday is a glorious one.  I’ve gone a little bit bold today . . .  for a bold friend.  Someone close to me is having a birthday, one of my girlfriends, who is just a hoot!  So I changed up a little bit to go with some power colors for a birthday card for her.    As it were, working with some of the new Spellbinders, this Damask keeps floating to the top – it was designed by my sweet friend Laura Campbell, and I just love it.  I paired it up with a new sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs called Birthday Blessings.


I took one of the damask die templates (Spellbinders™ S5-081 Damask Motifs), cut it four times and assembled it into a medallion.  On top of that I popped up Spellbinders™ Picot Edged Circles and Spellbinders™ Standard Circles SM.  On the edge I used some lace, Spellbinders™ E8-007 Classic Edges, Spellbinders™ Classic Bracket Edgeablities and Spellbinders™ E-010 Classic Decorative Inserts, topping it off with the border from Spellbinders™ S5-080 Damask Accents set. 

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs, Birthday Blessings.
Paper: The Paper Company, Neenah Classic Crest Cream
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories: Spellbinders™ S5-081 Damask Motifs,  Spellbinders™ Picot Edged Circles, Spellbinders™ Standard Circles SM,  Spellbinders™ E8-007 Classic Edges, Spellbinders™ Classic Bracket Edgeablities, Spellbinders™ E-010 Classic Decorative Inserts, Spellbinders™ S5-080 Damask Accents, seam binding, clear embossing powder, lace

That’s it for me today, short and sweet!  Don’t forget to weigh in on the blog candy I currently have going on.  Up for grabs, some luscious double sided Prima paper – simply pop over to this post – https://www.amazingpapergrace.com/the-best-of-both-blog-candy/. Smooches, y’all!  I’ll see you soon!!

Hi there blog friends.  Well, I circled back around and tried this again, and I guess the second times a charm.  I wanted to prepare another version of the medallion flower, so this time I put it on a card and made a matching box.  You all were curious, so the tutorial basically shows how you put the medallion together.  Once together, you have options to put it on a box, card or on perhaps a bed of lace for a corsage.


For my sample, I’m using the new JustRite Stampers Shabby Music Background.  It was the inspiration for my box and I extended it to my card for a matching ensemble.

The sentiment is from the new JustRite Stampers With Sympathy set.  It fit perfectly on Spellbinders™ Ribbon Banners.


The medallion is made using JustRite Stampers Nested Medallion Labels – custom die templates produced by Spellbinders and is stamped using the new JustRite Stampers set called Starburst Medallion Labels.

Here’s the tutorial showing you how . . .

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: JustRite Stampers – Shabby Music Background, Starburst Medallion Labels,  With Sympathy,
Paper: Colorbok, Bazzill, Neenah Classic Crest Cream
Ink: Palette – Burnt Umber
Accessories: JustRite Nested Medallion Labels, EK Success Border Punch, Recollections Pearls, Seam Binding,

By the way, several of you asked about my filigree hearts. They are very light weight – made of metal and I purchased them at Michaels :-)  Thanks so much for stopping by.  I’ll see you soon!!

    I’ve always wanted to learn to knit. Some friends are teaching me, but I make a lot of mistakes, and have to stop when I make one until I see them for our biweekly gathering so they can correct it and get me started again. I don’t know if I will ever finish this scarf nor want to wear it, but I’m determined to keep trying.ReplyCancel

  • Cathy Shumaker DismukeJanuary 21, 2012 - 7:16 pm

    I love your blog and follow it every single day. Love the cards you make. I’ve thought of quilting but feel that my paper crafting wouldn’t leave me enough time to do so. Thanks for all you do.

Hi there blog friends!  What a glorious way to start the week!  I’ve had a little burst of creative energy and this week, so much so that I’ve had to have a little pad of paper at my workbench to write the ideas down.  Yep, this morning I was up an at it early, and followed my creative muse down a tangent that will become a tutorial later on this week.  But in the mean time, I got a nice little surprise as I sat down for a cup of tea . . .


Last week when I was in Sam’s Club, I picked one of my favorite magazines up on my way out the door.   When I sat down to flip through this morning, I happened upon something I made!!  You all remember that design?  Yes, it went to CHA last summer and I knew a publisher wanted it, but I never knew it had been published.  In this issue they mention Spellbinders, but really, it was little ole’ me.  This is a bit of an atta girl moment for me.  Since it doesn’t happen too often, I hope you don’t mind me sharing it with you.

Well, honestly, back to my now, cold tea!  By the way, I’m working on tutorials today.  I’m trying to schedule them when I can show new die templates so keep your eyes open for new things from me.  In the mean time, I’ll be back later on this evening with a blog candy winner.

    Hi Becca,
    I saw this the day before yesterday and I thought it was stunning. The picture I saw was of your beautiful wreath hanging from a matching ribbon and big bow in a setting that looked like the outdoors (not sure where I am sorry to say). Maybe you can remember who else published it; It did have your name attached to it.
    Anyway, it is so beautiful, I think it would be perfect for aisle settings at a wedding instead of using flowers or bows. Plus you could make individual cones to be used for confetti and even favours.
    Have a good day. Hope you are well

    I can’t abide Spellbinders not giving you the credit for your design. What’s going on there. Seems like exploitation to me. Certainly they have some say in what goes into a magazine, when it is their product.

    Edited to add by Becca: Marlene, no fault of Spellbinders, just circumstance, but nothing bad going on there. It was just the way the magazine listed it and I probably had to levy the stipulation that it carry my name. I didn’t do that, it’s not something that bothers me. Hugs BeccaReplyCancel

    This certainly doesn’t surprise me. Your talent needs to be shown-world wide. With all your beautiful creations, you certainly could produce several books of all your beautiful cards and hybrids- along with picture tutorials. Congratulations on your recognition. I’m sure it’s just the beginning!

    Hi Becca, I saw this ad in the magazine and immediately recognized it as your work. But when I looked for some recognition of you, there was none…only Spellbinders. I was so disappointed that they didn’t give you credit for it. Sure thought it was dirty pool. I think Scrapbooks Etc. and Spellbinders should have a slap on the knuckles!ReplyCancel

    I am very excited for you, but really disappointed that credit was not. It is suprising that you don’t appear like in every other page considering all the creative projects you come up with time after time. Don’t you usually have to submit something for publication??? Do you do that Becca? If not, you should. Your talents are so far superior to most that I see that actually do get published. But what ever the case, it has got to feel really special to flip open a magazine, and realize that it is your work staring up at you. Congrats.

    Congratulations Becca!!
    As all the other “Becca Bees” ( Sally-Ann comment) have said before me, we are all thinking the same thing…why aren’t you published every day. Your work is amazing!
    In one of the comments someone mentioned your engineering mind, that is absolutely right, your attention to detail, depth and alignment are second to none.
    Bravo girl, many more to come.
    Hugs & Smiles
