Sweet blog friends, how are you today?  I’m fab, really!!  I’ve had a little relief from the hip and leg pain (I’m almost afraid to say that) lets just pray that this little break goes on for a while.  I didn’t waste any time in sitting down to make some things.  In fact, you’ll see more from me this week.  I’m working on the cutest box that I hope to share by the weekend.  In the meantime, I have some new, new, new Quietfire Design stamps to share.  I’ve been wishing on a star to get some elegant Quietfire Christmas sentiments to put on my cards this holiday season.  Enter, my stamp fairy, and just in the nick of time!    Suzanne’s beautiful hand lettering is such a treat!  It’s like jewelry for your cards!

In case you haven’t noticed, Spellbinders™ Holly Motifs is one of my very favorite time templates.  There’s no doubt that I’ll continue to use it year ’round, but you can fault me for using it to embellish bona fide Christmas Cards at every turn?  Here, one of my favorite techniques is to sandwich or stack it so that that beautiful filigree peeks out or as a beautiful showcase.  I simply alternated my Holly Motif elements with Spellbinders™ Postage Stamps in two sizes — I made them into frames using Spellbinders™ Classic Squares LG and Classic Squares SM.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Quietfire Design – Warm Winter Wishes
Paper: Authentique, Strathmore, Bazzill
Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink – Warm Red, Antique Linen Distress Ink, Vintage Photo Distress Ink
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Holly Motifs, Spellbinders™ Postage Stamps, Spellbinders™ Classic Squares LG, Spellbinders™ Classic Squares LG, burlap, Recollections Pearls, Seam Binding

Smooches and hugs for my super readers!  I have so many new things to play with . . . keep an eye out for more posts from me . . .  My mind is brimming with ideas and my heart is brimming with thankfulness for the kind folks who stop by and allow me to share.

I went to the Quietfire Designs website and wanted to order the “warm winter wishes” stamp, but it appears you can only order if you live in Canada. Any way us “Americans” can purchase the stamp. Thank you for any information.ReplyCancel

  • RufusDecember 8, 2011 - 7:56 pm

    So glad to hear that you’ve been having some relief from the pain…good for you and good for us, since that means you can spend some time crafting! Another gorgeous card, love the way that you’ve used the Holly motifs. Keep feeling better Becca!

  • Patty W.December 8, 2011 - 8:32 pm

    Oh Becca, I’m so glad you’re feeling better. I hope it lasts on and on indefinitely! I too have the holly motif on my wish list, (hope my family’s looking in). I saw some time ago, how you used it for a card that was not for Christmas. It was wonderful there too! I can see so many possibilities. The quietfire sentiments are always lovely and help me to say what I want. One of the reasons I like making my own cards- being able to design what I want, and say what I want! TYFS! You are an awesome teacher! Stay well and take good care of yourself. Hugs and blessings, Patty W.ReplyCancel

I have to pick it out with a piercer! May I ask you what sandwich you use? I am using these dies with a Cuttlebug. Thank you for sharing your beautiful creations!! :)

Card made with Velvet PaperHi there friends!  Can I just tell you that I love the velvet textured scrapbook paper you can purchase, it has the most heavenly texture!  It has been around for many years and for a while I loved it, then I thought it was faddish and now I’m back to the love stage!  The paper was the inspiration for my card today – I just love the decadent feel of the flock and the color is oh so rich.

Paper Bow

I crafted a hand made bow from strips of paper and worked some of the velvety paper into the bow and tails — I also used it for my background.  Normally I would be so miserly with this type of paper, scrimping so as not to waste an inch.  It feels good, today, to use it with abandon!  Not wanting to cover up the detail on the design paper, I simply stamped the sentiment from an Our Daily Bread Designs called Ornaments 2 within the wreath and embossed.  This is not one that will get sent out in an envelope, but is one that will be enclosed in one of the packages I need to send this season.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Ornaments 2
Paper: Recollections – Believe, Paper Pazzazz Velvet Paper, Expedx Brilliant White Cover
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories: Recollections Pearl Brad, Embossing Powder

I hope you had a glorious weekend.  As I can, I’m busily working in the background on things that just make my heart sing!  Sharing soon :-)

Hi there sweet friends.  Hope you had  a great Cyber Monday.  Did you shop the day away?  The time got away from me so I missed out on some of the deals, but I had fun looking.  I have a fun card to share today, kind for different for me, but I had fun making it.  The best way I can describe it is as a gatefold card.   When I was playing around with this Custom Window Die Cut Template from Our Daily Bread Design and Spellbinders.  I came across some neat K & Company Paper for a view of Santa, through the window.


The sentiment from Warm Wishes was cut using Spellbinders Ribbon Banners and behind it I’ve hidden a small flat magnet in order to hold the card closed.   The ribbon extends across half of the card so that it can open but I still was able to have a bow :-)

The card is 6″ x 6″ and I used the entire width of 12″ x 12″ paper by scoring at 3″ and 9″ for my basic gatefold card.  Then I added flaps on top of  that (attached at the center edges on the top and bottom) to hold the Window die cuts.  I overlapped two of the window dies on flaps of the card adhering them only on the edges – the left window adhered only on the left edge of the window, the right window adhered only on the right edge of the window

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs –  Warm Wishes
Paper: K & Co., Coredinations
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories: ODBD Custom Window Die Cut, Spellbinders Ribbon Banners, Seam Binding, Magnets, Martha Stewart Border Punch

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Sending hugs your way on this glorious day!!

Would you share a small tut for how this is folded and adhered that window right? I have tryed to see if I can figure that out, but not sure, I´ve got it all right.

Your instructions are pretty good, but it’s the attaching the window to the flaps that is a little confusing to me. I can’t quite see how they are attached. I would love to make this card for several friends and family. I already have the paper. Thanks for sharing.ReplyCancel

    A gorgeous card Becca… I have ordered the window from your Spellbinder and the elegant ovals… That was after I put in a huge order in though Just Rite…. Mentioned your name, so may they will give you a nice pat on the back!!! Seriously we are loving your cards and your layouts and this one is so perfect.. am just loving it… I already have the background, so I fell in love with the window to use for the background.. Hope it doesn’t take too long to get here… I am anxious to get it!!
    Hugs and thank you for your gorgeous work… You enspire me..
    Hugs, JeanReplyCancel

    OK Becca,
    Another amazing, over-the-top, awesome card! This one kinda goes over my head trying to figure out how you did the attaching of the window panes. Can’t figure it out…. any chance for a quick tutorial that we can watch?? I’d love to add a bunch of these to the Christmas cards I’ve already made to go out this year.

    Love all your art and as always- thanks for sharing your talents!

    Hugs!!ReplyCancel

  • Lisa SackettNovember 29, 2011 - 9:30 am

    Becca, this is amazing (and genius). It would’ve been very cool with just the one window, but when you can display it as two windows…even better. Love, Love, LOVE it! I’ve gotta make one for my Mom. She’ll just love it! Thank you for sharing this awesome card. I’m off to make one. =)ReplyCancel

    i know you aren’t feeling the best, so do I dare request a tutorial on this card? I am sorry, but I don’t quite understand how you made it AND how did you line up the windows so perfect? I HAVE to make this card!!! I continue to pray for your improved health and that God helps the doctors to figure out how to best help you.ReplyCancel

  • Eleanor JenkinsNovember 29, 2011 - 10:23 am

    Bekka, I absolutely love this card and would love to case it, but I don’t think I have the patience to figure out exactly how to attach everything! This card is so beautiful! If you send it to me for Christmas then I wouldn’t have to get my blood pressure up trying to make one! LOL.ReplyCancel

    Oh, this is fabulous and requires studying and a huge WOW response. Love your idea of the magnet hidden behind the scroll. No time now but I’ll return to study the design again. So sorry to hear of your foot-turned-to-back-problems. Do take care of yourself.ReplyCancel

  • EmilyNovember 29, 2011 - 4:05 pm

  • RufusNovember 29, 2011 - 4:16 pm

    Becca! We’ve missed you. Doesn’t get much better than this for a Christmas card. And with different paper would be an elegant card for just about any occasion. Hope that things are getting better with the back and foot.

    Wonderful card Becca, just gorgeous, stunning is more like it. Love your work!! I did try and get that window die, but it is now not available until at least christmas or so, they said at least 3-4 weeks before they get it back in stock.
    Can’t wait to try and get one, so love it, was hoping to get one right away, but guess all good things come in time.
    Have a great Holiday.

    I so love this card!! I can’t wait to get that die for the window, but unfortunately it is unavailable for at least a month, the store you got it at said that they have ordered them but don’t expect spellbinders to have them for about 4 weeks from now, was so disappointed, but such is life, will be glad to get it though, so many possibilities.
