    What a cute idea! and thank you, Becca, for the tutorial on how to make it. I can see a lot of those as treat bags maybe at Halloween. One of my DD is getting married in Oct. I think that would be adorable to put a little gift for the attendents in. Thanks for the frugal tip also.ReplyCancel

  • SusanJuly 13, 2011 - 10:42 pm

    Becca — you are absolutely amazing. I love it when you think of different uses for Spellbinders dies. If you haven’t sent this into the company yet, I think you should do so right away! I would have only thought of flower pots and decided that I probably wouldn’t use the die too much. You have certainly convinced me otherwise.
    I love your frugal tip about the file folders too. I haven’t ever seen them in Canada at that price, but I’ll keep looking!ReplyCancel

  • Linda FJuly 13, 2011 - 10:58 pm

    How simple and so sweet! I rushed to the Spellbinders site but I guess they haven’t been released yet. You tease!! LOL I haven’t seen any of those handy little sacks here in Australia either, guess I will have to try to get some from the States by mail. Wish me luck, they would make lovely gift bags for small Christmas trinkets. Thanks for the inspiration.ReplyCancel

    Oh Becca, I’m so glad you did a tutorial for this little purse. It is sooo cute, and there are a thousand ways I could use a little purse gift bag. You could even put some small note/enclosure cards in there to match. You are amazing. I would have never – and I mean NEVER – thought of making a cute purse from that flower pot template. Once again, I have to crown you the paper genius!!!ReplyCancel

  • ColleenJuly 14, 2011 - 8:19 am

    What a great idea. But…I go to spellbinders.com – can’t find a flower pot die. I go to Michaels.com can’t find paper bags or file folders. Where in the world do you get the die? My Michaels, Joanns and Hobby Lobby have absolutely NO stock on these dies. What they do have is old ones. Never seem to get the new things. HELP!!! If spellbinders doesn’t have it on their website where do you get it? I get so frustrated when I see all these wonderful ideas that a lot of you crafters show and then I can’t find the items to make it. Again…HELP.
    Thanks…guess I just had to vent. :)ReplyCancel

    Becca you’ve wowed me once again. Finally a die that makes a purse big enough to put something in (besides one piece of chocolate). Another Spellbinders die I HAVE to get. Between Spellbinders and Quietfire, my craft budget (what budget!?) will certainly be exceeded. Thank you so very much for sharing your talent with us less creative creatures!ReplyCancel

  • Diane C.July 27, 2011 - 1:26 pm

    Hello Becca,
    I have learned so much from you. When you look at a die, or packaging in the $1 bin, how on earth do you match them together, and figure out how to make them work by adding gussets? How do you do that? I never get those “Aha” moments. It’s just mind boggling, simply amazing, “Amazing Paper Grace”, a perfect name.
    Hugs to you Becca!ReplyCancel

Hey there Blog Friends!! I have a small card to share with you today using again some of the new Spellbinders that I’m so thankful to have the opportunity to play with. If you tire of this, please let me know (*wink*). I actually detoured and didn’t create what I had sketched out and planned for today and instead played with this sweet little flower. I guess what stood out to me is that it is different from all the other flowers I’ve seen. There’s an extra cut in the leaves that allows you to curl up, curl down or just manipulate them a little differently. I wanted double sided cardstock to play with so I simply adhered and distressed old book pages on the back. That way when curling, I could get either the print or the solid.

I’m using stamps from this months release over at Our Daily Bread Designs.  This one is called Not Forgotten.  When you see the set, you are more inclined, I think, to make a patriotic card.  I find though, that the sentiments can be used for many more occasions :-)  I picked up that new postage stamp that I love and cut a big frame, distressing it on the inside and out.  I also cut borders on the bottom with the new Edgeabilities – I don’t think it has hit me yet the numbers of combinations I can get.  It’s awesome because I get the look I have on the bottom of my card from one pass!  (It’s the little things, right?) 

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Not Forgotten
Paper: Crafty Secrets Vintage Patterns CD, Bazzill, The Paper Company
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, Vintage Photo Distress Ink
Accessories: Spellbinders S4-348 Postage Stamps, Spellbinders Edgeabilities – E8-001 (Classic Scallop), Spellbinders Edgeabilities – E8-003 (Triple Scallop), Spellbinders Classic Squares Large, Pearls, Lace, Pearl Picks

The rain shut me down yesterday when I had tons of errands to run . . . I’m going to see how far I can get today :-)  I’m thankful anyway, because we need it!  Have a blessed day friends!!

    I never tire of your wonderful card creations and projects. Just love all the new Spellbinders. There are only a few that I can say I am just not crazy about and some that are kind of pricey that I just can’t justify, but, that is probably a good thing. At least for my bank account!!!!
    I am not trying to rub it in, but we are really having some wonderful sunny, mid 70’s weather this week. I have a couple of home projects I am in the middle of or I would definitely be out in the garden.

  • Charlotte ZweigoronJuly 12, 2011 - 1:43 pm

    I love the card! Do you worry about things being acid-free? Like the old book pages? I don’t think these cards are going to be around long enough to worry about that but my daughter gets freaked if it isn’t acid-free… BTW, I love seeing your pins up close so I can get ideas for my pins! I made your pin cushion but what I used was a Christmas ornament that looked like a fancy victorian oval framed mirror. Now it hangs on the wall holding all my fancy pins for cards and such. Thank you for being here!ReplyCancel

  • Carol from kiwi landJuly 12, 2011 - 7:13 pm

    I am loving what everyone is doing with the new spellbinder dies.Thought I should say – I made your birdcage pop up card ( and showed my mum how – shes made three but needs my die to make more). I had to adapt it slightly because I have a Tim Holtz birdcage die ( or shouldn’t I say that) – it takes a little bit more time but same stunning result.Anyone can do it and your step by step instructions break it down into wonderfully achievable chunks.I willl have to give that lotus flower ago.Keep creating – we love it.

I could not wait, I could not wait, I could not wait to get my hands on this set of dies.  Can I say that this is one of my fav’s and I think it will be one of yours too!!  Sigh . . . it just oozes with elegance and oh, the possibilities.  I knew my first stab would be something vintage looking and something to do with a flower.  What I’ve done here essentially is created a flower cup to seat a bloom in using Spellbinders S5-059 Ironworks Motifs.    This template works just as well on cards as on gift items (I’m working on my post for tomorrow which, if my crafty luck holds out, will be an ensemble using this template again). 


I’m following the sketch from Mojo Monday (Mojo 199) except rotated the sketch clockwise 90 degrees.  In following the sketch I put a border on the left hand side of the card using elements from Spellbinders S5-059 Ironwork Motifs, then created that neat swag using the new Edgeabilities – E8-001 (Classic Scallop) and E8-003 (Triple Scallop).  Who knew?  I didn’t it I sat down this morning and started playing around – there are so many different combinations – I love this one.  My medallion was created using the largest element of the Motif set – I curled the edges on the first one and on the second one I interlocked the curlicues to maintain the structure of the cup.  They were then stacked together with foam tape.  I used the foam tape to add dimension and offset the layers.  I double stacked my foam tape in the cup before I nestled in that sweet flower.  What a joy to sit down and create this morning!!!  I have things waiting off in the wings to show, but since I was doing the sketch challenge I hadn’t given any forethought to what to create because you really can’t, right?!?  Pure serendipity :-)

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs –  Large Scrapbook Words
Paper: The Paper Company, Craft Secrets Vintage Patterns CD – Digital Paper
Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink, Pink Pastel
Accessories: Spellbinders S5-059 Ironwork Motifs, Spellbinders Edgeabilities – E8-001 (Classic Scallop), Spellbinders Edgeabilities – E8-003 (Triple Scallop)
Note: Many of you emailed to ask where you can get these new die templates. They will be available on the Spellbinders website on July 19th and will be shipping at the end of August!

Happy Monday sweet friends!!  I hope you have an amazing week!

  • Marcie SmithJuly 11, 2011 - 10:56 am

    Love this Becca and I’m with you, this is such a great die set. I love how it is so versatile. Lacey and soft (as shown on your card today), or rugged wrought iron used on an altered project. It is definitely on my must have list and that list just keeps getting longer. Really great sets in this new release. Will be fun to work with them. I recognize the paper !!!! hee hee.
    Don’t you just love that CD.

Needless to say, Spellbinders is my absolute favourite brand of dies! My son is getting married in August and I am using all my papercrafting skills and tools to come up with favours, decorations and embellishments for all the parties and wedding. i have all my young helpers hooked and in awe of a world they never even knew existed. I cannot wait to get these dies and make some other projects for maybe their first anniversary party. Spellbinders makes you want to celebrate every moment in life!!!!ReplyCancel
