Hi there friends!  Thanks so much for your kind words yesterday, I particularly enjoyed working on that project.  The same is true for today . . . This week is brimming with new releases so I have a card to share with you today –  it’s a Z Fold Card – I thought it would work perfectly with the layers I wanted to have. The set I’m sharing is from JustRite Stampers and is called Grandma’s Doilies.  I’m also sharing Lace Borders that were released yesterday as well as the inside sentiment from Old Friends, also being released today. I sorted through my Spellbinders to find out what would stack up for this card. 


So . . . on the bottom I started with Spellbinders™ Classic Scalloped Circles LG, on the next layer up I used Spellbinders™ Fleur de Lis Motifs, two more layers of scalloped circles and finally Spellbinders™ Standard Circles LG.  When the left side border is pulled the card opens up.  (The sentiment inside says You Are the Friend Everyone Wishes They Had)


So, if you’ve been looking through a JustRite Catalog or have clicked over to see any of the sets you may have noticed a boxy set of marks that almost looks like a bar code – It’s actually a QR Code.  As part  of JustRite’s October Release they are introducing QR codes to all their new packaging and their catalogs.

CL-02190 ShabbyChicLabelsFour-qrcode_330233 (2) QR codes are popping up everywhere and you may have wondered what they were. What is a QR (Quick Response Code)?  Scannning the QR code with your phone will bring you directly to a website or landing page.  The JustRite QR Codes on the packaging and in JustRites Catalog will link a stamp set to JustRite’s Design Gallery for that set.  Now you can scan the code with your phone to see what your favorite designers have created with a set.  You can use your smartphone to access the design gallery for your stamp set from your craft room when you are ready to use your set or from our mini flyers or catalogs when you are sitting in a car waiting to pick up your child from a sporting event!!

CL-02190 ShabbyChicLabelsFour-qrcode_330233 (2) Here is a smaller version of our Shabby Chic Labels Four QR code for you to play with if you have a smart phone!!  Very cool huh?

Here are some of the current QR apps – for your iPhone – Red Laser (free),  NeoReader (free),  Optiscan ($1.99)  For your Android Phone – QR Droid.

Blog Candy Alert – Don’t forget that there is Blog Candy on the JustRite Blog – it’s a $50.00 shopping Spree.  To enter to win go to the JustRite Blog and answer the blog candy question.  The Blog Candy is open for comments until Friday Night at 12 pm EST.  The winner will be announced on the JustRite Blog on Monday October 3rd during the release post.  Good luck to everyone!

    I have just come across some of your wonderful cards and they are really fantastic.

    I have also watched your video on how to make the butterfly card. Would you be able to tell me where I could buy the Jumbe Scallop Punch in Australia (or in the US if it is unavailable in OZ).

    I will keep coming back to your site over and over. You have really inspired me.

    Many thanks and kind regards

Hello there blog friends!!  Thank you so much for the words of encouragement on joining the design team of Waltzingmouse Stamps.  Did you surf around to see all the creations from the other Design Team Members?  Beautiful creations, yah?  Well today we’re moving along to a new set called Say it Loud-Autumn/Winter – I don’t think I could even begin to count the combination of words, phrases and sentiment this set will be able to make!!  I skipped right to Christmas to make a traditional style card that has a couple of layers, but for me is really clean and simple.  Remember, this is only Day Two of our release previews and there are two more days to come!

I stacked up a couple of Spellbinders die templates to get the lacey look on my medallion.  Starting with a base of Spellbinders™ Labels Sixteen, I added Spellbinders™ Holly Motifs and colored the leaves with a colored pencil while in the die template.  I then added Spellbinders™ Lacey Circles and topped off with Spellbinders™ Standard Circles LG.  For my card base I cut the border from Spellbinders™ Lace Doily Accents and stitched it to the bottom of my card – I think that must be my favorite border these days!!

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps:  Waltzingmouse Stamps – Say It Loud – Autumn/Winter, Text-It
Paper:  PTI Kraft, Red, Coredinations – Ice Cream,
Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink – Warm Red, Versamark
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Holly Motifs, Spellbinders™ Standard Circles LG, Spellbinders™
Labels Sixteen, Spellbinders™ Lacey Circles, Spellbinders™ Lace Doily Accents, Pearl Pic, Paper Studio Gem Brad, Satin Ribbon, Recollections Pearls, Michaels Bead Landing metal finding

More of Waltzingmouse Stamps AMAZING Design Team have creations for made up using the new sets.  Hope you can stop by and see:


Have a blessed day friends!  I’ll see you soon!

Hi there blog friends!!  Good Monday morning to you!!  I spent some time yesterday remembering those lost during 9/11  It’s hard to believe that 10 years have gone by.  As I watched some of the programming I think I was sitting there in disbelief yet again.  Wow, that really happened!  My heart certainly goes out to the survivors, and I thought how hard it must be to see the events relived on television again and again.   Continued prayer.  I did have some time to play last night and pulled together a quick card for today.  Lol, not sure why my hand keeps picking green but it’s a phase I’ll live with for now.  I picked another sentiment from one of the new releases with Our Daily Bread Designs called The Good Seed.   I interlocked three circles made using Spellbinders™ Picot Edge Circles and Spellbinders™ Standard Circles SM. The circles are secured by a dovetailed strip of paper that I then secured with a pearl brad.  On the bottom I edged using Spellbinders™ Classic Scallop Edgeabilities.

I kept some wide lace on the bottom layer and glued a bow on the upper layer and secured it with a decorative head pin that I got at Michaels (Bead Landing).  I’m feeling so good, I got my paper organized and went through all my Spellbinders, labeled their cases and pulled out the old ones I no longer use.  I had a happy dance after a productive afternoon and was tickled to sit down and make a card with my easy to reach tools :-)  Just a small dent in the list, I’m on to what’s next!

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – The Good Seed
Paper: Prima – Madeline, Bazzill, Strathmore Watercolor
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Classic Scallop Edgeabilities, Spellbinders™ Picot Edge Circles, Spellbinders™ Classic Circles SM, Seam Binding, Head Pin, Bead, The Paper Studio Brad

I hope you are off to a fantastic week!!  Consider yourself hugged by me, I read comments from last week and know that I am truly blessed to be in the company of such wonderful visitors!!

    Blessing to you today, Becca! I watched a lot of 911 remembrance programs yesterday too; breaks our hearts all over again and like you cannot even begin to imagine how the families who lost loved ones must feel.
    What a gorgeous, unique card you’ve shared today! I cannot imagine ever getting “rid of” my Nesties of any age, though I imagine IF I had all the newest latest and greatest, “maybe” I could remove some older ones to a less-handy location?!!! I’m just sooo attached to all of them–LOL!ReplyCancel

  • ColleenB.September 12, 2011 - 11:46 am

    I always feel better when I take the time to organize my craft area. There’s nothing more annoying than spending more time looking for supplies than crafting. I love your use of the circles. I had been considering buying them, and this helped me decide. Weaving the sentiment between them makes it look completely unlike 3 circles.
    Thanks for sharing.ReplyCancel

    Stunning, as usual ;)! Very elegant!ReplyCancel

    I love coming to your blog to view all of your creations. Each one is so beautiful.ReplyCancel

  • DebraSeptember 12, 2011 - 12:34 pm

    I watched a lot of the coverage of 911 yesterday as well and I was struck by the same feelings you had Becca. It was hard to see it again and I can’t imagine how the families of those who directly lost someone could watch that over and over.

    This card is absolutely fabulous! Your use of that sentiment banner woven in through the circles is so innovative!ReplyCancel

  • Debbie BSeptember 12, 2011 - 1:07 pm

    I love your card. It is so true of friendship, that it just hugs you and binds two or more people together. I am blessed to have found your blog. You are such an inspiration to me.ReplyCancel

  • Francie (Montreal)September 12, 2011 - 1:08 pm

    With all the cards you make, it’s amazing that you do not duplicate previous designs. You keep renewing yourself with resulting fresh creations. It’s truly a marvel and the nicest thing about it, is that you are kind enough to share it with us mere mortals.

    What really grabbed my interested in this card was the three circles, the banner and the ribbon treatment. Imagine … thinking up this. It’s brilliant and beautiful.ReplyCancel

  • Robin BurgesonSeptember 12, 2011 - 1:09 pm

    What an incredible layout! As usual, you outdo yourself!ReplyCancel

  • lois skiathitisSeptember 12, 2011 - 1:27 pm

    Now isn’t this one pretty. Nice job Becca, I love how you weaved the ribbon in and out of the die-cuts, very unique. Love the stick-pin too. Beautiful work. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-DReplyCancel

  • Becky GreenSeptember 12, 2011 - 1:31 pm

    BEAUTIFUL Becca!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE how you did the ribbon on this! On my computer, your card looks a deep gold, not green at all!!!!!!!!! But, I DO UNDERSTAND about the green thing! I tend to grab it too!!!!!!!! :)ReplyCancel

  • ColoradoSeptember 12, 2011 - 2:09 pm

    I love how you did the sentiment… very cool for a sentiment that can be divided. As always, great card design.ReplyCancel

  • Charlotte ZweigoronSeptember 12, 2011 - 2:25 pm

    Ah, Becca, this is lovely! Don’t you love that long crystal? I have some of those but I see that you took the head pin out and placed it on a decorated pin… Love that!ReplyCancel

  • Marcie SmithSeptember 12, 2011 - 2:25 pm

    Well aren’t you the clever one!! This is really beyond creative Becca. You would make a wonderful design engineer but don’t get any ideas cause we love all the inspiration you bring to us here. Love this so much. I want your stash of lace or stores that you are able to find these in. I never find the beautiful selection that you have were you live. Craft items are so hard to find here in San Diego. When I lived in No. California we had so many craft and fabric stores to choose from. Really miss that. I am just thankful for the internet. It really helps. Have a great week.

    Even though I watched and watched in 2001, I couldn’t bring myself to watch any of the memorials–I had purchased one of the large memorial magazines last week and just looking at the photos had me crying.
    Love this card–again. You certainly have a huge talent and I appreciate your sharing so much! I am so glad that I discovered your art (just this last weekend!)ReplyCancel

  • chaunSeptember 12, 2011 - 3:57 pm

    WOW….this is sooo beautiful…..your creations really has shown me another way to display a creative style of making cards without necessarily using cricut cartridges….and your cards are also very classy….keep the great ideas coming.ReplyCancel

  • SuziSeptember 12, 2011 - 5:57 pm

    So much beautiful detail! I’m glad you point some of them out. I would miss them otherwise, even though I try to study and count all the elments to see what I can learn. . .a lot! TFS!ReplyCancel

  • JeanSeptember 12, 2011 - 6:35 pm

    Hi Becca – beautiful and oh how imaginative! Thank you. Blessings.ReplyCancel

  • RufusSeptember 12, 2011 - 9:37 pm

    Love the way you used your ribbon/sentiment to anchor the 3 picot circles! Awhile ago you said that you were working on a new bow…how’s it coming along?? Glad that you’re happy with the way that your studio cleanout/up is going. I really need to do that, but I keep getting distracted and making cards instead! Besides I’m half afraid that if I clean it all up and organize it I’ll never find anything again! It may be messy, but believe it or not I know where 98% of everything is!

  • EileenSeptember 13, 2011 - 8:34 am

    I too spent a while thinking about 9/11. I was in your country at the time and at 9.00am one morning we were going out for breakfast and had the radio on in the car and then we heard the words “America is at war” repeated over and over again….we could only look at each other in disbelief! and then we heard what had happened….what a cold chill went through us! It took another five days to get us out of the country and flown back home to the U.K. in the company of a Jet Fighter plane….so frightening…..at least we got home, so many people didn’t and our thought still go out to the families of those who perished.
    I have those spellbinder dies you have used on this card but have never used them like you have, I will do that next time I use them….thank you for the inspiration Becca.
    LOL Eileen in the UKReplyCancel
