Hi friends!  I hope you plan to have a glorious Monday!!  I don’t know where the weekend went – I was hoping to check quite a few things off my long list of family todo’s but it never appears to get shorter.   Thankfully I had a card in reserve that I’m sharing with you today.  It’s a long format card and I wish I’d do that more often.  I’m using a sentiment from the January releases for Our Daily Bread Designs called Faith.  Don’t be confused if you look at the set and wonder where I pulled the sentiment from – I split the stamping of the sentiment up into three parts.

The triangle shapes are new Spellbinders called Nested Pennants and they are layered on top of Nested Lacey Pennants.  After stamping each sentiment I used remnants of Zva Pearls to fill out the rest of the diamond.  It doesn’t get any simpler than this!!

SUPPLIES I USED

Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Faith
Paper: Bazzill, The Paper Company
Ink: Distress Inks – Pine Needles
Accessories: Spellbinders Nested Pennants, Spellbinders Nested Lacey Pennants, Ribbon, Zva Pearls

Thanks for peeking in today.  I’ll be back with a winner for mini-blog candy later on tonite.  In the meantime, have a blessed day!

    Hey Becca, I love this card. It looks simple, yet complex at the same time.
    There is a lot going on with the shapes and scollops, bow, and pearls. And then the sentiment brings it all together, with the statement of Faith! Wonderful card! Thanks for sharing it with us!
    Hugs, JessicaReplyCancel

  • ChaunJanuary 24, 2011 - 9:15 am

    Love it! I like to make long cards too. I often make them to fit the #10 business-size envelopes. This sentiment says so much and really speaks to me. I need to use it on a card for my sister, who seems to be worrying more than usual these days. I try to set worry aside, because when we worry, it is really saying that we don’t trust God enough. And, every moment spent worrying is a moment that we are not out living the rest of our life.ReplyCancel

Hi there sweeties!! First of all, thanks to those who have signed up for an opportunity to win the new Core’dinations that matches Ranger Distress Inks and Adirondack Inks. There’s still time and the wonderful thing is, if you win, I win too. The link to register is in my post HERE. Also, I have my own blog candy going until sometime on Monday, you can read the post and leave a comment HERE.


Now moving on, another piece of the ensemble I created using Spellbinders Parisian Accents and Motifs (we’re almost done).  This Journal was the inspiration and starting point for the entire ensemble. I’ve long wanted my own specially made Gratitude Journal versus just a lined notebook. In this one I can sketch, doodle and glue in items I like. The stamps I’ve used are a set from Quietfire Design called Journal of Gratitude Bookstamps that are artistically beautiful as well as delightfully elegant. Once the innards were stamped, I closed the cover and concentrated on the outside.
I think I picked this journal up at Books a Million for less than $5.00.  I love it that it’s a bound book and it has an elastic band that keeps the book closed.  Blank pages that are heavier than text weight paper made it fly into my shopping cart!

SUPPLIES I USED

Stamps: Quietfire Design – Journal of Gratitude Bookstamps
Paper: Bazzill, The Paper Studio
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories: Spellbinders Parisian Accents, Spellbinders Parisian Motifs, Spellbinders Standard Circles SM, Pearls

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I’m off to bed and hope that there’s some creating in my day tomorrow!

    OK Becca fans we only have 111 entries for her to win the new Coordinations paper . We can do better than that!!. Please tell everyone to come here and register for the paper giveaway :) Thanks !ReplyCancel

  • Linda LJanuary 22, 2011 - 5:11 am

    What a beautiful journal Becca….very elegant. Good luck winning the Coredinations:-))ReplyCancel

  • AlexandraJanuary 22, 2011 - 5:11 am

    This Journal is beautiful Becca.
    What a lovely idea of having a place for noting things to be grateful for, we often feel low and this is a great way of staying positive and cheering ourselves up.
    Having a beautiful wee book to doodle and sketch our creative thoughts and images is so inspiring too.
    Much better than my plain old sketch book any day. I’d never thought of making it look so attractive on the outside too.
    I’m off give my sketch book a make over now. tfsReplyCancel

    wow. the whole set is so elegant and classy. you truly have an eye for putting all these wonderful elements together without looking over done. as my 8yr.old great niece says “it’s not too goobered up”.

    i got to thinking about what other stuff i collect. i also love fabrics. i have been collecting it since i worked in a fabric store in the early ’70’s. altho i don’t sew like i used to i still love the colors and textures.ReplyCancel

  • Angelina WesselsJanuary 22, 2011 - 5:54 am

    Oh, how I love your journal cover! It is so much more fun to write in a beautiful journal book than one with an ugly cover. (I never thought of recovering some that I have – again, thanks for your inspiration! I really love your paper crafting style, it totally appeals to me. So soft and feminine. Yours is the first blog that I look at each day. Keep inspiring us with your beautiful projects!ReplyCancel

  • Sheila - UKJanuary 22, 2011 - 6:31 am

Well… I attended the first class this week and am more hooked than even before. I love your elegance and creativity and can only hope someday I can gain even half as much flair. Love you!ReplyCancel

    Very classy, Becca. You are so lucky you have the new Spellbinders before they are released!!! so what do you do with the journal after you have it filled up? It is far too elegant to toss away–I hope you save it for your daughters keepsake one day…what do your kids think of all your wonderful talent? are they as talented as you are?ReplyCancel

  • JeanJanuary 22, 2011 - 10:43 am

    Becca,
    Your gratitude journal is beautiful. Who wouldn’t feel grateful having something so lovely to write in. You remind us that if we have an attitude of gratefulness it is difficult to be negative about life. We have so many blessings each day if we will only take time to think about them. Writing them down would certainly be helpful to get you to that grateful attitude!
    Thank you for sharing such a wonderful piece.ReplyCancel

I seem to have a lot of punches and spellbinders dies. Every time you make something awesome to share with us, I “need” the things you’ve used. See how you inspire me! I so hope I’ll be able to get the two Parisian sets. They are lovely. And you do make such beautiful things Becca!!! You are so generous to share with us your tips and tricks and techniques.

by 63 comments


I hope you don’t mind if I share another favorite . . .  This is one of the new tags dies – Spellbinders Fancy Tags Three.  I loved the lacy ends of the die so I used three to make a lacy circle.   Put together, they almost remind me of a doily.  I can tell you know that I’ll be reaching for this one possibly more than I should.
The scallops and half circle were made using Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Circles and Spellbinders Grand Circles.  I had the perfect sentiment in my retired pile to fit in that circular area, so I brought it out.  (It was almost too large for me to use).  Paired with cream, this soft powdery teal is another of my comfort colors.

SUPPLIES I USED

Stamps: Stampourri (Retired)
Paper: Bazzill, 365 Degrees – Pink Paislee
Ink: Ancient Page Dye Based Ink
Accessories: Spellbinders Fancy Tags Three, Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Circles, Spellbinders Grand Circles, Making Memories Button, Ribbon, Pearls

Today is a two post day, so this evening some time I have a new reveal to share.

    Hi Becca,
    Your card is so beautiful and the new release motif is stunning. I can’t wait to get me hands on this one! I especially love the way you use little bits of cutouts to create a new look. The background layer of scalloped circle is so suble that it just adds a hint of texture and the soft line but does not take away from the focal point of the card. Truly a great idea! As well, you always have such perfect finishing details.
    Love and hugs,

    ‘possibly more than you should’ ?? I don’t think so!! Not when every piece you’ve ever done employs all sorts of things in unique and fabulous ways. How else are all of us unoriginal thinkers to learn how to maximize use of our tools? TFSReplyCancel
