Hello there friends!!  I hope you are having a magnificent Fourth of July for friends in America and a happy Sunday for friends elsewhere.   I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to pop in and say that and I have a small project to share.  This is a pop up card – and was it ever easy!!  I’ve never made one before but it was issued as a challenge on the Magnolia-licious DT, so I was certainly game to give it a try.    For my card I chose #392 Tilda with Peony from the recently released Wedding Collection from Magnolia-licious. Remember the palette I made to hold my distress inks?  It’s working like a charm and I reach for them more often than I did – I colored this Tilda using those. 

For the border on the upright part of the card I used Spellbinders In Spades Borderabilities Petite and actually used the throwaway part that you have after cutting the border.  This gave me that nice embossed sawtooth border!  I used the same thing to go around the Mega Ovals LG, I simply cut as close as I could to the edge without destroying the border.  This made it flexible so that I could curve the border to fit the oval.  After tying a bow, I added a Spellbinders Tag 5 round tag and used a rub on sentiment that says "remember this".  This kind of card will fold flat to fit into an envelope.  I’ll simply flatten the bow to send it on it’s way.

If you are interested in the tutorial to make the pop up card, you can find it HERE.  Better yet, make one and enter it in the challenge this month at Magnolia-licious.  There are prizes to be won and all the details can be found on the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog. 

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Through Magnolia-licious – Tilda with Peony
Paper:  Bazzill, K & Co
Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories:  Spellbinders Mega Ovals LG, Spellbinders Tags Five, Spellbinders In Spades Borderabilities Petite, Pearls, Ribbon, Making Memories Rub Ons, Clear Embossing Powder


Thanks so peeking in!!  I’ll be back soon!

This has been languishing on my desk for over a year.  My hope was to make a card for one of my stamping addicted friends like me.  You have to read the whole sentiment to get it.  Then to make it funny ha-ha, the folder opens up to reveal a gift card so that she can go buy some more stamps! (snicker)   I mean what are friends for?  Now don’t be mad but this is one of my favorite Wordsworth stamps and apparently it is retired because I’ve not been able to locate it.  Of course it can certainly be computer generated . . .

I made the little file folder with cream cardstock and Tim Holtz die cut.  Then smudged everything with Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  I had this little piece of metal hardware handy so  I added it to keep the folder closed.  If you are having trouble seeing the small print, simply click on the picture for a larger version.

The inside reveals a place to stash a gift card or something nice.   I hope my friend gets a kick out of this :-)

Thanks for stopping by!!

    GREAT card! I remember this stamp . . . I never purchased it, but I recall my friends and I getting a good laugh over it. I have a friend who has a couple sisters, one of whom is also a stamper and scrapbooker. Many of us get together every so often for a “stamping bee” where we work on projects, share ideas and techniques, and just have a good time socializing with one another. One of their sisters calls it a “cult” and warns other not to get involved! LOLReplyCancel

  • BonnieJune 6, 2010 - 9:19 am

    Love it!
    Since I don’t have the stamp and may choose to computer generate it for my friend about to have surgery…I may “alter” it a bit. Put 11 steps on the outside and put step 12 on the inside where the card holder is and make it say:

    12. Who am I kidding? I’m going shopping!ReplyCancel

I spent way too much at the GASC on STAMPS. My friends would get such a kick out of a cardcard to go shopping with me sent to them in this card!! So cute!!!ReplyCancel

    LOL! I just love this! I live in a small 2 bedroom condo and about 6 months ago moved my craft room from the 2nd smaller bedroom to the much larger master bedroom. After all I only sleep in the bedroom, and I don’t need all that space to sleep in. But, I need it it to store all my stamps, papers, tools, etc, and to create in! In truth it is mostly my daughter’s tools and supplies as she needed a place away from her 3 children under 5 to keep her things from 6 little hands, but I think I would have made the same move even if she hadn’t transferred her things over here.ReplyCancel

    LOL, you lost me by #3! I afraid that I don’t even want to sign up for the 12 step program! Great card and I’m sure that your friend will get a major kick out of it. I also have to agree with Lori, when she says that she wouldn’t have anyone “worse” than she is to send it to!

    However, I “justify” it by sending lots of cards to Operation Write Home. This organization collects handmade cards (blank on the inside) from all over the country and ships them to our armed services overseas. They use them to write home to their loved ones. If anyone else is interested in this marvelous organization you can Goggle them.

    Thanks for sharing this very funny card with us!

    OH MY GOODNESS!!! I was going back thru your blog to catch up on postings when I got behind while I was on vacation. I am so glad I saw this!!!

    I have a dear friend who has had her eye on a certain stamp set since Feb. I bought it to give to her on her birthday or special event. They have been going thru a lot of financial crunches with the economy cutbacks. Things are hopefully starting to look up for them. She has been a dance teacher for many yrs and is also my Stampin Up! demo. She has decided to open her own dance studio and just got approved for her loan this past Wednesday. I think I will send her this card and the stamp set as a congratulations gift. She will love the 12 step list!!! She usually frames things like this to hang in her craft studio.

    I think God made me not see this until just now. I may have just liked it for me and not though of her until now. I have been pondering a good way to send her the stamp set. This will be perfect!!!ReplyCancel

Hi there.  Several people left comments that they didn’t know why I would put drops of ink on a palette.  I’m hoping those readers are peeking in today so that I can explain a little bit.  The palette that I made yesterday is designed to hold the waterbased ink used to re-ink a Ranger Distress ink pad.  In addition to using the ink pads, I like to use the ink itself to watercolor with.  Although the distress inks are waterbased they seem to have more body that other waterbased dye inks, they are rich and they stay wet for quite some time on a palette.  The palette is simply a convenience when using the inks to watercolor an image and makes it very easy to mix colors.  Each of the 36 drops of ink I put into the palette were different colors – in their concentrated form they just seemed to be a dark drop.  Hope this helps!!  In fact, the card that I’m showing today features Bridesmaid Tilda wearing Wreath,  She is watercolored with Distress Inks.   The Tilda stamp comes from Magnolia-licious.


I’ve used several Spellbinders borders and they’re slightly hidden so I’ll explain.  At the top, I used the Easter Borderabilities turned upside down.  Around the gingham I used  one of the Lotus Borderabilities so that just the very edge is visible – I think it makes a fabulous edging.  Then for the flower strip I used the other  Lotus Borderabilties and one of the flowers from Flower Bouquet on top of each motif and turned the flower on point so that it showed the cool holes in the border.  For my Tilda image I cut a Petite Ovals LG and matted it with Big Scalloped Ovals LG.  The banner is cut by hand and the sentiment is a rub-on.  Hope this all makes sense – this was a ton of fun to play with the borders to come up with something different :-)

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Magnolia courtesy of Magnolia-licious – Bridesmaid Tilda wearing Wreath
Paper:  DCWV – Gingham, Strathmore 140lb Watercolor Paper
Ink:  Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossing powder, Distress Inks for watercoloring
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Big Scalloped Ovals LG, Spellbinders™ Petite Ovals LG, Spellbinders™ Spellbinders™ Easter Borderabilities® Petite, Spellbinder™ Lotus Borderabilities® Petite, Spellbinders™ Flower Bouquet, grosgrain ribbon, buttons, Lasting Impression rub-ons

  • Lisa SturgillMay 30, 2010 - 9:07 am

    I just love the magnolia stamps with the nestabilities, bordabilities, and correct me if I’m using the incorrect names for the dies, but there are so many out there! I really want to get some of them to use for behind my stamped images. I have a cricut, but I love the embossing you can do.

    I have a friend who has a ton of magnolia stamps, so I hope to be able to try them out soon. We both have back (me) and knee problems, so getting together has been a bit tough. But I can’t wait for the day we can get to some crafting!!! We both have low tolerance for sitting and standing, so I guess we will be two loopy ladies doing our crafty thang! LOL!

    God Bless, and Hugs,

    Lisa : )

    PS: I do want to apologize for not being around as much but I have been lurking on your blog, just not posting comments. So for that I’m sorry, because your work is gorgeous!

  • ColoradoMay 30, 2010 - 11:28 am

    Yep, I’m here!!! I”m ALWAYS here!!! LOL!!! OK, now I understand what the reinker palette is for… actually painting from it! I’ve read about using reinkers to paint with, but have to admit that I’ve never done it yet. That’s my problem… I buy all the supplies but then never follow through and try all the techniques!! I really need to get down to the business of crafting rather than reading about it and shopping for supplies!! LOL!! Thank you Becca for explaining yesterday’s post. I’d never be able to use that container until I used the watercolors!! LOL!! You know… waste not, want not!! And I still have a set of watercolors I bought last year and have not opened yet… so it would probably never happen.

    By the way, as always… a very lovely card today. Thanks so much for more creative ideas on using various Spellbinders “parts”. Even though they are not really my style, I think some of the Magnolia stamps are really cute… just don’t get the no nose and no mouth thing! Oh and even though I don’t see them on this one, (maybe you masked them?) I also don’t care for the angel/fairy (?) wings I see on others.ReplyCancel

    She is beautiful Now I have to run out and buy reinkers. I would never have thought to use them to “paint” with. I really appreciate all you share with us, I have learned so much from you, my organization and cards both reflect a whole lot of “Becca” Off to Michael’s tomorrowReplyCancel

    Beautiful, as usual, Becca. I love the way you always go outside the box (compared to me) when using your punches and spellbinders, etc. I have to echo Marvel – you are such an enabler – I want to buy everything I see. Today’s must have is the raindrop punches, had them planned for today with my 40% at Michael’s and of course MS is 25% off so I can’t! Bummed. But I’ll get them for sure. Have a wonderful day.ReplyCancel

    I like coloring with distress inks too. Your card is a good example of the rich color saturation using distress inks. Tilda looks so cute holding those flowers. I love the composition of your card and no matter what we girls always look good in pink. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-DReplyCancel
