Yes it’s true . . . I try to deny it but I think it shows. Yes, I try to slip a card in here and a card in there, but it seems like there’s always something on the corner of my desk that’s pink. I surrender!  I’m swamped with quite a few deadlines and I finished up this card that has been waiting in the wings for a while – I was just rationing pink!  This is a sweet set from Flourishes called Fanciful Flourishes, that I’ve been dying to get inky. I love damask, it absolutely makes my heart sing, so it was quite satisfying to work the motif into a background. You know what that means don’t you? No hunting for hours for the right paper, because I made the perfect one myself ;-)

For the romantic shape of the card I used Spellbinders Grand Labels One.  Since the card is predominantly white, I wanted the bottom to seem like eyelet fabric so I punched a border.  Then I added white lace, pearls and ribbon.  I stamped the small sentiment on Spellbinders Floral Doily Accents and threaded my ribbon through to hold it in place.  Lastly, I stamped the damask butterfly (on both sides) and the solid butterfly on another paper then cut them all out with Spellbinders Fanciful Flight.  The flower was already made and I pulled together the pieces for my pearl pick.   

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Flourishes – Fanciful Flourishes
Paper: K & Company, Expedit White Cardstock
Ink: Colorbox Chalk – Pink Pastel
Accessories: Spellbinders Grand Labels One, Spellbinders Fanciful Flight, Spellbinders Doily Accents, Lace, MS Border Punch, EK Success Border Punch, Hug Snug Seam Binding, Recollections Pearls, Zva Creative Pearls

Thanks for stopping in to see me.  Have a fab day!!

    They say the first step to overcoming an addiction is to admit that you have one :) Personally I hope you don’t overcome this addiction because you do pink so well!

  • Cathe EkasMay 19, 2011 - 11:47 am

    Becca, Your cards are truly works af art. What an amazing talent you have. I also love all of the pink, lace & pearls. I have not stamped or done any paperrafting for 10yrs due to illness.. Things have changed so much.
    I know you can not answer many questions because you are so busy and have so many followers but I do not know what die cut machine to buy. I know you use spellbinder dies and sizzix embossing. Do they all go together. Can I buy the more inexpensive Sizzix and use spellbinder dies?
    If you can’t answer, I’ll understand. God Bless. Have a good day.ReplyCancel

Good morning blog friends.  I have a tutorial for you today, and it’s one you’ve been asking for – for a while.   I made a sample card to go along with it to show the end result for the technique.  Several years ago I figured out how to take a border punch and cut an even frame all around so that it comes out perfect every time. At the time, MS had just come out with the Punch Around The Page Product so I put my plans to do the tutorial away, thinking it obsolete.  Over the past couple of months, several have written to ask me to do the tutorial I had promised.  Then last week when I showed the Love Letter to the World framed hybrid project, several asked again.  Well, that’s how I decide content here – you request it . . . it gets on the list.  Also when a project gets a lot of comment, I assume you like it and then I plan to do more similar projects :-)  All that to say, I’m listening!!

Just a short blurb about my sample card — I’m using a two sweet sets from Waltzingmouse Stamps – Holiday Labels No. 14 (which conveniently matches Spellbinders Labels Fourteen) and Victorian Frippery.  You know that I have to make a special effort to tilt my cards, lol.  Yesterday I saw so many tilted cards that I determined I had to do it!  You may also notice that my card has stitching on it — that’s because I finally cleared a path to the sewing machine!

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Waltzingmouse Stamps – Holiday Labels No. 14, Victorian Frippery
Paper: The Paper Studio, Coredinations, DCWV
Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink – Prussian Blue, Versafine Onxy Black
Accessories: Spellbinders Labels Fourteen, EK Success Moroccan Border, Recollections Pearls, Recollections Flower, Recollections Resin Rose, Recollections Print Leaves, Seam Binding

Here is the tutorial on how to do the punching – I promise you it is not complicated, but you need to try it to get the gist of it.  It works best with single elements that repeat but try it on others:

Back tomorrow with something new!!  Hope to see you then!!

    Becca, thank you so much for that tutorial. I tried it with a MS punch and it worked!!! My corners turned out a little more rounded but I’m fine with it. I won’t “need” any more corner punches now to have a great punched all around edge.ReplyCancel

  • JessicaMay 12, 2011 - 1:38 pm

    Thanks Becca, I just tried it with one of my punches, and it didn’t quite work out well, even thought the depth was still 3/4 inches. But I’ll keep on trying by starting out with larger pieces of paper.
    At least I’ll have a place to start. I’ve tried a couple other ways to do this, that I can’t remember now. They were just too involved. You, as always, make things very easy to understand. Thanks again

    Wow this is awesome and a great money saver. I can’t afford those Punch Around The Page Punches but I do have a few border punches and you have just doubled their use for me. I tired it and it works! I have written the depth of each punch on the punch with a sharpie so it was quick work to sketch my lines and punch away. I am SO excited! Thank you ever so much.
    As always your card is stunning!

Good morning to you blog friends!!  I always love the beginning of a month because all the new stamps come out and there are so many possibilities.  My mind sure gets busy, I just wish my hands could keep up!!  Today I get to show one of the new JustRite Stamper Releases called Smile. I really do like how upbeat all the sentiments these are designed to have extra wide borders.  Because of that, it seemed very easy to get my layers in place.

I essentially created a medallion (are you shocked?) that from the bottom up included a white store bought doily, then Spellbinders Lotus Pendant then my JustRite 3 1/4″ border, cut with Spellbinders Standard Circles LG and Spellbinders Standard Circles SM.  To pull some of the color back into the medallion I nestled a little circle rim inside my border.  The vertical green panel was  bordered with Spellbinders Parisian Accents while the horizontal green panel was bordered with  Spellbinders Jumbo Scalloped Borderabilites Petite.

I used the newest technique, Figure Eight Loops on my Peg Bow Maker for the little bow and the Ruffled Flower Tutorial to create a little eyelet flower to go along with my doily.  Once I’ve figured something out I love to use it a couple of times to get it down pat!

By the way, JustRite is having a fab sale this week – you can take a peek at the goodies HERE.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: JustRite Stampers – Smile (Ribbed Collection)
Paper: K & Company, Bazzill, Xpedx White Cardstock
Ink: Colorbox Chalk Inks
Accessories: Spellbinders Lotus Pendant, Spellbinders Standard Circles LG, Spellbinders Standard Circles SM,  Spellbinders Parisian Accents, Spellbinders Jumbo Scalloped Borderabilites Petite, store bought doily, Buttons, ribbon, pearls

I’ll see you tomorrow, but in the mean time, be sure to check out some of the fabulous samples made by JustRite Design Team Members!

    Well, that’s as pretty as a picture! Oh I do adore your cards. This might be the best one yet. Love the sentiment. It has a special meaning for those of us living in Quebec. French is our official language but 10% of us are mother-tongue English. Fortunately, most everyone speaks both languages now. And that’s a good thing. however, I digress. You’re card is a beauty and I think I just fell in love with it. Thank you again for all you do. You are appreciated more than words can express.ReplyCancel

    What a beautiful card! I love the sentiment – it says so much. I live in a Spanish speaking country but am no where near fluent in Spanish. A smile goes a long way.ReplyCancel

    Beautiful! It’s got pink, and pearls, and I love that sentiment. Working in an international office, I’ve got a poster on the door with that very sentiment. Gotta order that set – it’s all about smiles and being happy! And we can never have enough of either!ReplyCancel

    Oh Becca: So beautiful. Although I can’t view your tutorials on my computer and don’t understand how to make the fancy round cuts, I have learned so much from you. I am proud of the cards I make and you are a big inspiration to me when I make my cards. Thank you, thank you, thank you. God blessReplyCancel

    This card is gorgeous! Gotta get my peg bow maker put together this weekend so I can try to make this figure eight bow. Placed my first Just Rite order, I just had to have this ‘Smile’ stamp set. Love all the sentiments in it. Becca, how awesome it is to see your gorgeous cards in the Just Rite on-line catalogs. Thanks again for sharing your creations and inspiration. In appreciation – Have a great weekend!ReplyCancel
