Okay, so I’m totally intrigued with the poll thing.  It was torture waiting all week to put up a new one, LOL!!  I’m finding the program that I’m using has some glitches or I’m not quite used to it, so I’m flying by the seat of my pants on this one.   I’m sending out a notice because unless you look closely, you probably wouldn’t know that a new poll is up.  Come on by and add your vote. Don’t forget, if there is a poll you’d like to see about crafting, (and it doesn’t necessarily have to be about Amazing Paper Grace) email me — I received some really fab suggestions this week and am adding them to my list). 

I’ll be back with a card in the morning :-)

    I love everything you do, however I love your classy and elegant style. There was no place to vote for the unique way you use dies, ribbon, and other tools or supplies .ReplyCancel

  • Sheila - UKMarch 14, 2011 - 3:54 am

    Hi Becca as Barbara Jay said I also adore everything you do from your amzing works of art right down to your new polls…. but I just love elegant and classy which is what I think about all your beautiful designs anyway. Have voted.
    Hope you had a lovely weekend.

    Love Sheila xxReplyCancel

  • kathy sMarch 14, 2011 - 3:57 am

    Maybe a poll on the types of Dies people find they use most- not necessarilly brands but shapes and if they have any shapes they would like to see in Dies.ReplyCancel

  • TrishMarch 14, 2011 - 4:03 am

    Kathy S I like that idea. yes as I don’t have a lot of stamps and things I do like to see what dies Becca puts on her cards.

    Not a factor I consider when I visit this site, so that is how I voted. Becca, you are the reason I visit every day, don’t always leave a comment, but am blown away by your amazing talent and feel blessed to have found Amazing Paper Grace.ReplyCancel

  • Olga JewellMarch 14, 2011 - 4:50 am

    okay, voted I voted for not a factor, I love every thing about your blog!!!!ReplyCancel

  • Rachel BrooksMarch 14, 2011 - 4:52 am

    I’m drawn to ALL your cards and drink each one in fully, but for replication, it needs to be CAS for me. I’ll be trying to move out of the box more and try some of your layers and bows.ReplyCancel

    Hello Becca I don,t think that anything I had seen is not excellent
    I can hardly wait to put the computer on in the morning to see just what my eyes will find to thrill me. Everything you do is just so exciting
    I gave up card making when my husband passed away nearly 6 years ago
    but since finding your sight mid last year the joy I had in card making
    has returned ShirleyReplyCancel

    I so enjoy seeing the papercrafting projects that you share. I keep on trying new techniques similar to what you share but I sure wish I had more than 3 Spellbinder sets.I”m saving those pennies to add to my small collection.ReplyCancel

  • BarbMarch 14, 2011 - 6:01 am

    I had to vote “not a factor I consider”. Everything you do is beautiful! You are truly gifted with amazing talent Becca! I don’t get by to visit very often anymore, but I still pop in when I can :). I have never, ever been disappointed when I come to visit! Just do what you do Becca :D. Blessings to you!

    Wow hard to say as this is my very favorite blog and love everything about it ! Maybe a poll about how stampers feel about sharing printable verses original or otherwise ?ReplyCancel

  • Christy HawkinsMarch 14, 2011 - 6:18 am

    Ditto, ditto…everyone loves everything you do! I like that you are a real stamper…not a lot of computer generated stuff or stickers,etc. I love to use my stamps in artistic ways, and you are wonderful to COPY!! I especially love the way you make the sentiment the focal point of a card. The Becca Bits are, like you, amazing! I headed out to Hobby Lobby to get one of those quilling tools so I can make those little flowers with the Spellbinders. My only problem is that no matter how many times I try to imitate your bow method, mine still don’t look like yours! That’s okay. I did like your tricky little tool with the dowels. Excellent idea for the less digitally gifted.
    Thanks for making my day more fun every time I see the “Feedblitz” in my mail box!ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca, I love the use of polls and am really looking forward to them. How about a poll where you give us some of your clever (& I know you have a ton) ways to save money & still create a beautiful card, 3D, other craft item. Sometimes it can be a shock when one realizes how much money it can cost for our craft. Besides coupon’s what are your best tricks & clever secrets. I am new to your site Becca, but love everything you send. I love your style, class, giving character, & your God given talents. You are a child of God, and it shows in all you do. JoReplyCancel

  • Jeanielou KaufmanMarch 14, 2011 - 6:52 am

    What a wonderful lesson and a beautiful accomplishment! I love every step of this creation. It is in time for us to make for a Mother’s Day treat.

    I really like everything you do. Actually, I had three choices this week, pretty much equal, so that brought it back to “not a factor”. Mixing it up would be nice. Keeps things interesting.ReplyCancel

  • Francie (Montreal)March 14, 2011 - 8:32 am

    Answering this poll was difficult. I ticked off “Classic and Elegant”, but I would have selected “All of the above” if that were a choice. Every card you make has a new fresh dimension and I learn and love them all! Please just keep doing what you do. It’s so appreciated.ReplyCancel

  • paper canuckMarch 14, 2011 - 8:41 am

    Good morning Ms. Feeken,
    I am a great fan of yours and check out your blog regularly. I voted today but I wish I could have picked out more than one option. I went with the ‘Holtzy’ but also wanted to add the CAS and the Classy. Thank you for all the inspiration you provide. When I grow up, I want to be just like you! teehee. If you are adding on to your poll, how about inquiring about favorite ‘go to toys’?
    Mine is my Cuttlebug.ReplyCancel

  • MaryMarch 14, 2011 - 8:55 am

    As always I love the beauty and elegance of your cards and crafts. I am seeing that that beauty and elegance is a reflection of you!!! Thank you for being willing to share with us. I’m slowly, but surely adding to my Spellbinders collection and thanks to you, I’ve made some nice cards. Thanks again for what you are doing to inspire us all.ReplyCancel

  • Cyndi LandriganMarch 14, 2011 - 9:06 am

    I love all your cards! Since I am always trying new and different things, the style of the card is not important to me. Since I try to match the style of the card to the person receiving it, I think it is important to learn all the styles! Thank you so much for always sharing your wonderful cards with us. You are truly an inspiration!ReplyCancel

  • NancyMarch 14, 2011 - 11:05 am

    I, like many others, love everything you do. I get stumped for appropriate words on many cards and I’d love to know how others get there ‘inside words’ except by buying a ton of stamps. Your Christian spirit is a blessing!ReplyCancel

    I love all styles of cards therefore I voted for not a factor. I like to try different styles and challenge myself as a work in the studio. Therefore, I like seeing all styles of cards when I am looking at your blog.ReplyCancel

  • Linda MayMarch 14, 2011 - 12:37 pm

    Your blog is a treasure trove to cardmakers everywhere. Thanks for the wonderful ideas and for your willingness to make your blog more interactive! I love to see how others feel about various aspects of this hobby through your polls and the 31 days listings, too! My hubby made me a Peg Bow Maker, and it is fantastic. Before this, I rarely used bows on my cards because my fingers didn’t cooperate. Thanks so very much.ReplyCancel

  • EdnaMarch 14, 2011 - 12:50 pm

    I like all the things you make. Especially loved the bow maker pattern and directions on how to use it.

    Your creativity and the way you break down each card or project is what I am drawn too. I do however, like CAS and elegant. You make things very easy to replicate with your instructions or at least come close to me making one similar. I know it is time consuming for you to post directions and supplies used, so thank you.ReplyCancel

    Hello Becca, I checked Classic and Elegant because you are such a classic and elegant person, which shows in your elegant cards, but I come to your site everyday for inspiritation and you have never let me down. Your imagination goes above and beyond. You are a very caring person, seemingly always giving to others so they can enjoy your gift of creation. I am so thankful that you share your talents with fellow crafters and continue to inspire others every day.

  • Linda ClarkMarch 14, 2011 - 4:33 pm

    I chose Classic and Elegant because…. it would not let me check them all. For me, going to my email and finding I have a new email from you, it just makes my day. Your talent, is without a doubt, the best I have ever seen. Your entire site is great just to explore and read all your tidbits of information. You descriptions and directions are easily understood.

    I’d like to know see a poll on how people store rubberstamps that are still on wood blocks…I know a lot of people have converted theirs to not be that way anymore…but for those of us who have NOT made the switch…face up? or face down? or stand up on wooden edge? in plastic box? on a shelf? or what?…also, how long to you hold on to a stamp? eventually they do wear out…right? or the rubber goes bad? been stamping for years off and on…but a lot in the past year or so…Thanks so much for all of your ideas and tutorials…ReplyCancel

  • Kelli bMarch 16, 2011 - 12:40 pm

Hi there, while I’m making a little gift this morning I thought I would share this half cut technique (I also call it partial cutting) that many of you have asked how I accomplished. It’s easy and the bag can be made in less than an hour.  My bag is larger than 6″ but this is a scalable technique, so you can use it with both larger and smaller die templates.   Have a look at my video to see how!


Add your favorite flower, learn how to make the matching center with the Becca Bit called Frugal Decorative Pearl Flower Center.


My flower measures roughly three inches in diameter so I needed to make a bigger bow to extend beyond the edges. I pulled out my trusty peg bow maker and made a triple layer 4″ peg bow. 

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: None
Paper: K & Company
Ink: None
Accessories: Spellbinders Grand Labels One, Spellbinders Grand Circles, Spellbinders Foliage

ETA:  The strip of paper that I use in the video is 3″ x 12″ but feel free to alter the depth depending on how big of an item you need your bag to accommodate!

Hope you are having a fabulous day!!!  Thanks for stopping by!!!

Really!!  It honestly doesn’t get any easier than this, lol!  I have less than an hour invested in this card but I’m pleased as punch.  You see, one of my Quietfire Design team mates is hosting a challenge over on Two Peas and I was fretting about whether I would have time enough to enter.  So, I’m checking it off my list :-)  I absolutely love this sentiment!!  No telling why I went with the red and white other than I love them and to me it makes the card jump out at you.
By the way, if you have some sweet sentiments you’d like to show off, head on over here to check out the rules for this ultra simple challenge in the Winterfest 2011 and give it a whirl!!

I’m under the gun to get some cards out in the mail, so I’ve decided that this will be the format for my mailing, er..um..minus the gems, lol!  I love it when a plan comes together.  Speaking of plan, I hope yours includes some me time or craft time!!

HOW IT’S MADE

1. Make Card Base – mine is 5″ x 6.5″
2. Cut paper 4.25″ x 5.5″ and emboss.
3. Stamp sentiment and adhere to a slightly larger mat with foam tape.
4. Tie Ribbon, adhere focal panel to base using foam tape.
5. Adhere a gem to each embossed line intersection. (80) and 1 pearl at center.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Quietfire Design – To Create Is to Touch
Paper: Strathmore Acrylic
Ink: Colorbox Pigment Ink – Cranberry
Accessories:  Satin Ribbon, Pearl, Ruby Gems, Clear Embossing Powder. Sizzix Embossing Plate – Thank You Set #5

Be sweet and enjoy your day!!

    Beautiful, but mailing with all those stones is a pain but a hand out card, it’s perfect. Stickles is much better for mailing. EdnaReplyCancel

    lovely, Becca! I do have a question for you. Your page design and colors are lovely, but I cannot see the writing in pale print and am searching for the place to find older posts. I don’t get to log on very often but don’t want to miss any of your cards, so love to look back through older posts. Where am I missing this “older posts” place? Thanks!ReplyCancel

    Becca, have you tried the new Jewel Dazzles from Hot Off the Press? They are stickers that look like jewels when adhered to a card but without the bulk. I just love them, aince I mail most of my cards & the bulk of jewels is too expensive to mail.ReplyCancel

  • Nadine BaileyMarch 30, 2011 - 10:27 am

    I enjoy the card fronts. My problem is with what to do with the inside many times. The front of the cards are so wonderful, I feel like the inside is lame.

    Could you show examples of the inside of the cards?

    Thanks.ReplyCancel
