Thanks so much for all your kind comments and the prayer you are sending for my husband.  We’re in an awkward limbo so I don’t really have any news to share, but I can tell you his spirits were lifted to know he was on the minds of so many.  I hope you’ll continue.  In the meantime, I channeled some of my nervous energy into a card to share.  The card is really quite simple so I’ll keep the description brief and as always, the links are here so that you can see what I used.    I’m using a sentiment from the October Our Daily Bread Designs release called Missing You.

This pulled together quickly and decided to work with papers from my scrap bin.  I’m relieved to know that I can actually make a card without touching absolutely every piece of paper I own (smile).  You do what you gotta do, right?

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Our Daily Bread Designs  – Missing You
Paper:   Bazzill, K & Co.
Ink:  Colorbox Chalk Ink – Prussian Blue
Accessories:  Spellbinders Labels Twelve, Spellbinders Ribbon Tag Trio Two, Spellbinders Nursery Time Frame, Spellbinders Cross Collection, Martha Stewart French Scroll Border Punch, Martha Stewart French Scroll Corner Punch, Ribbon, Pearls


Thanks for stopping by.  I sincerely mean it when I say that you all bless me.

Thanks for sharing your incredible talents with us, even in difficult times. So happy that you have your designing for stress relief in life’s difficult moments, though I cannot create when my mind is otherwise occupied. You’re lucky that you can.

    Hi
    I have the sentiment of your card in a locket around my neck and the other half around my husband’s! I have been hi-jacked and my chain around my neck pulled off during gun point and the locket with those words stayed behind and fell off the chain into my lap. After the hi-jackers left, I found it on my lap. I BELIEVE it was God telling me he was protecting me.
    Lots of prayers and hugs to you and your hubby.

    This is a stunning card Becca, and love your choice of design paper. I have that K&Co DP and absolutely love it. I love also your use of the diamond nesties and the mat behind it – you really do inspire me and others with how you effortlessly mix the two…

    I hope that you soon get the news you are waiting for, but above all, hope that its good news. I know what its like to wait for results and information between consultations – both for myself (this year) and my Dad a couple of years ago – the waiting is the absolute worse bit.

    You will be in my thoughts until your mind is at rest and you are out of limbo. May you both have the strength to deal with whatever comes your way.

    Kind regards

    Hang in there!!!! GOD IS IN CONTROL!!!!! :) (Do you remember Twilla Paris’ song??? ” This is no time for fear. This is a time for determination. Don’t loose the vision here. Carried away by the motion. Hold on to all that you hold in your heart. There is one thing that has always been true. It holds the world together. God is in Control. We believe that his children will not be forsaken. God is in control. We will choose to remember and never be shaken. There is no power above or beside him. We know, ohh, God is in control. Ohh, God is in control” —-and it continues on…. There another verse.) It’s quite a VICTORY SONG!!!! ( by Star Song! 1993.)

    Sending your husband healing and comforting prayers from Hawaii! When he gets better and is ready to travel, you MUST come to Hawaii for some R&R. Do know that you have many crafting friends here to ensure a wonderful vacation for you and your family.

Greetings!  I have a card to share today that honestly was not that involved.  It uses one of the fabulous Quietfire Design sentiments called Look For The Dream.  My inspiration was this piece of vellum paper (vellum is not always my friend).  On this card I knew I wanted to showcase the pretty pattern on the vellum plus I wanted to give a hint to what’s underneath.  One of my favorite conventions to use when I don’t want to cover something up is to make a pretty sleeve.  The sleeve is part of the card – not intended as any part of envelope and it also gives me a great staging area for my ribbon.  Since I had something interesting to show, I also gave it a little peek-a-boo effect.

Here’s the card totally assembled.  It’s a tad under 5" x 7".  My sleeve is edged with Spellbinders Fair Isle Borderabilities Petite – it was just the right size that I didn’t have to cut in the middle of my pattern or repeat.  For the medallion inside I used Spellbinder Labels Seventeen and embellished with Spellbinders Petite Ovals LG and  Petite Ovals SM.   That dazzling bling is from Prima – it frames the sentiment so nicely.  The centerpiece for my bow is also Prima.

I found a stash of vellum in my room as I was moving some things around so I may need to spit out a couple more of these Peek-A-Boo Sleeve Cards to use up some of that vellum.  Hope your weekend is being spent doing just what you planned!  See you soon.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Quietfire Design – , Stampabilities – Flourish
Paper:  Bazzill, Coredinations, The Paper Studio – Vellum
Ink:  Versafine – Vintage Sepia
Accessories:  Spellbinders Fair Isle Border Petites, Spellbinders Petite Ovals LG, Spellbinders Petite Ovals SM, Spellbinders Labels Seventeen, Prima Bling, May Arts Silk Ribbon – Champagne

Welcome to JustRite Stampers’ newest Wednesday feature, 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hops #4!   Every Wednesday up until Thanksgiving some of your favorite designers will be joining some of the JustRite design team for a series of Christmas blog hops, showcasing JustRite’s entire Christmas Collection of stamps!  This week, it’s the Spellbinders design team!  So mark your calendars for Wednesdays at 9am Central for great Christmas gift, card & project ideas, starting at the JustRite Inspiration blog!

Just this past week readers shared their thrifty tips on how frugal they are when they craft and during life in general.  After reading so many great comments it had me thinking how satisfying it is to find something, a left over perhaps from another part of my life that I am then able to use in crafting.   My mind settled on some pretty, pretty lace cupcake liners I used for a gift quite some time ago.  I had several of them left over and I used them on my card today.  Those black cupcake liners, like most liners, have a curve.  I used this to make an arch to highlight the JustRite stamps that I used for my Christmas Card.  I just love the filigree look, I think it makes a stunning backdrop!!  I ran my ribbon right behind the filigree since you can see through it. 


I picked JustRite JB-08770 Christmas Joy as my focal image.  It’s a tried and true sentiment from the JustRite Christmas Collection.  I love the vertical oval and it matches several of my Spellbinders perfectly.  For the oval medallion I layered  Spellbinders Big Scalloped Ovals SM , then Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Ovals SM and lastly Spellbinders Classic Ovals SM.  My image is colored with Copic Markers.    I used the two cupcake wrappers by just folding them over the edge of my card and taping them on the back.   I tried and tried to slather pearls all over this but my spidey sense just said no.   Instead, three understated pearls on a cosage pin break up the strict symmetry.

How are you coming on your Christmas cards.  I promise you, we’ll be there before you know it!!  So how was my attempt to be frugal today?  If you like it and would like to see more items like this, please leave a comment to let me know :-)  In the mean time, please visit these designers’ blogs to see what fabulous JustRite Christmas inspiration they have for you on the hop today!

    Would love to see more ideas along these lines. Have never seen these cupcake liners at H/L (Don’t bake!). I will look for them next H/L visit. I thought it was lovely lace. What a stunning card…each one gets better & better.ReplyCancel

  • MicheleSeptember 29, 2010 - 10:17 am

    Beautiful! Love the look of the lace!ReplyCancel

  • JaneySeptember 29, 2010 - 10:19 am

    I always try to figure out what products you use on a card but this one had me fooled….a cupcake wrapper! First, I’ve never seen a liner this elegant and secondly, I never would have thought to use it as you have.

    Thank you, Becca, for sharing your artistic gifts with us.ReplyCancel

  • chrisdSeptember 29, 2010 - 10:22 am

    Another lovely idea. More frugal ones too at least once in a while please!ReplyCancel

  • Judy CoveySeptember 29, 2010 - 10:31 am

    I love how you showed your frugality in your card. I can’t really picture what your cupcake liners look like to be able to come up with such a beautiful shape underneath your image. Is it possible to post a picture of the cake cake liner, so that we can see the before and after? I would love to see more cards showing your frugal side. I LOVE this one!!!ReplyCancel

  • AlexandraSeptember 29, 2010 - 11:06 am

    As usual your card is stunning Becca. I have never seen or heard of cupcake liners in UK, they’re gorgeous. Seems a shame to mess them up with cake though. At first glance I thought you had maybe used a fancy Cricut cut out design that I’d missed. I suppose this kind of look could be achieved with an intricate Cricut image.

    Becca this card is so elegant. I just love it. Glad I read thru to see where the lace came from. Never would have guessed that it was a cupcake liner thou. Where did you find these. I’m a baker and have never seen these. However, Martha Stewart has teamed with Provo Craft and has a cake cartridge with nothing but cupcake designs shaped like these. However, I don’t believe any of the designs are as this intricut or as beautiful. Must share where you found these. Please. This is definitely where frugal and saving has paid off.

    Yes I would love to see more frugal ideas or designs using older Spellbinders dies, JustRite sets or other things from past years.
    I am on a ” New Ideas for Old Stuff” mission

    Thursday’s supper has always been leftovers before I go shoping on Friday.
    I clean out the freezer and frig and figure out a meal from the left overs.

    Maybe you could do “Left Over Thursday” with cards from old stuff. LOLReplyCancel
