Just a little bit of fixing up and I was able to get this card off of my work table where it has languished for longer than I should admit. This sweet Magnolia called #352 Tilda with Kitty from Magnolia-licious is as cute as a button. I stamped her with a Tuxedo Black Memento Stamp pad on Neenah Classic Crest (Solar White) paper and colored her with Copic Markers. And, what would we ever do without Antique Linen? My paper was stark white so I dulled it up with Antique Linen Distress Ink including the pristine white ribbon.
I pulled out several of my Martha Stewart punches for the flowers on the right side of my card. Yep, an easy card!
Card Recipe:
Stamps: Magnolia – #352 Tilda with Kitty
Paper: Cosmo Cricket, Bazzill
Ink: Memento – Tuxedo Black, Antique Linen Distress Ink
Accessories: Copic Markers, Ribbon, Martha Stewart Crown Border, Crown Corner, Round Lattice Border, 10 Petal Flower, Large Chrysanthemum , Pop Up Flower, Corner Rounder
Thanks for stopping by and for goodness sake, go and have a great weekend!
Another beauty, Bekka … you continue to inspire me and give me something to look forward to, each time I check what’s new online!ReplyCancel

She’s adorable Bekka! I had decided that I didn’t need those particular MS punches…well guess what…now I know I do need them. Thanks, I think! I do love a punch. At least I already have the loop set, thank goodness. Punch art went out of vogue a few years ago and I’m so happy to see it making a comeback. :)

OOOoooo – just can’t stop saying Wow whenever I click onto your blog each day!ReplyCancel
how do you distress with the antique , is your card stock gloss? I often find that in my scrapping the page is just too white and I don’t necessarily want to put a colour behind. I know I have the Tim Holtz distress pads, is that it?ReplyCancel

Happy Valentines Day my sweet friends! I am getting the queen treatment today but wanted to stop long enough to get some blog business taken care of. At long last I’ve finished the Woven Lattice Tutorial! Yay! Even though I have used it here for Valentines Day, it will also be perfect for Easter. I originally created the Woven Lattice in December 2009 and could not figure out exactly how I did it. Well, I’ve figured all that out now and in the making of video created quite a few panels. I can do it fairly quickly now so I created a basket and companion card to give to my Hubby today. When I was thinking on what to do with the panels, I knew that I wanted to use this stunning Waltzingmouse Stamps set (called Seasons of Love) featuring a filigree heart (before it was too late – whew, just in under the wire :-) Claire’s stamps are truly magnificent and this set is no exception. I love, love, love the accent stamps like the little heart flourish that I was able to put on each side.
Lastly, for the handle I cut a long strip with a Martha Stewart border punch that I lined up to cut on both sides making the handle symmetrical (aha…answering this ahead of time because I know someone will email this question, lol!!)
I created a companion card to go along with the basket. It’s a side open card (which I rarely do) and It has all the same elements as the basket. I reaaaaaallly got into making this set – ahhh the pleasures of stamping!
Project Recipe:
Stamps: Waltzingmouse Stamps – Seasons of Love
Paper: Bazzill, The Paper Company
Ink: Martha Stewart
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Classic Hearts, Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals LG, Spellbinders™ Scalloped Edge Frame, Spellbinders™ Ribbon Tags Trio Two, Spellbinders™ Petite Scalloped Circles LG, Spellbinders™ Petite Scalloped Ovals LG, Martha Stewart Border Punch, Pearls, Ribbon
So you wanna try? Below I have a Guide that you can download that will serve as a roadmap of sorts to use along with the video tutorial. A word of warning . . . this was a very difficult video to produce, I had to reshoot it more times than I care to admit. Please look upon it with a kind eye, I am using the most basic equipment and I think I’ve stretched it beyond it’s capability. You may need to pause the video to read some of the captions because the text capability of Windows Movie Maker is severely lacking.
You can access the video tutorial here:
Now, on to the Blog Candy Winner! My goodness to sit and read the comments and the things you all have put on your list to do rather than dream about brought tears to my eyes several times during the week. My daughter came up with the idea of the bucket list and I was afraid it might offend someone. Well I was so wrong – you all just jumped right in and shared your hearts! So….drumroll!!!!
Random.org picked #264
264 corresponds to Becky Johnson who said:
Congratulations!!!! You are truly an inspiration to many. That is your Gift. #1 on my list is to walk again. I have had MS 37+ years and was recently diagnosed with arthritis. We all get it sooner or later but it’s a poor mix. I’ve walked until a couple of years ago so I’m lucky and God willing, I will again. I am always upbeat. And I’m a fighter. Your blog and all your creations are very important to me
and give me the inspiration I need.
Peace. Becky Johnson
Congratuations Becky – you are the winner!! Please shoot me an acknowledgment through my contact page and I’ll get your items in the mail to you.

Hi Becca – I’ve been waiting for this one; could send pictures of the mutilated frames I’ve tried on my own. But you made it so incredibly simple.
I was not able to get to the .pdf file for the template. I think I can work from the picture but would like to make some notes on it if there is a bigger copy.
Also is there a preferred ribbon width (and length). And have you tried it with the double sided ribbon? If so, how does that look?
Thanks again so very much!!ReplyCancel

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Your tutorial was great, too.
A couple of questions…how much ribbon does it take to do the weaving? Do you cut the ribbon off the spool ahead of time or just take it from the roll as you are doing the weaving. I’m actually going to try it and hopefully won’t get too frustrated. Thanks again for taking the time to drawn the diagram and make the tutorial! Happy Valentine’s Day!

THANK YOU – THANK YOU!!! I just finished my first woven panel and such fun. I can’t tell you how long I’ve been trying to do it on my own. I’d get so far and then I would be stuck.

Hi, again…
I just love this project. I have this MS border punch, but I can’t figure out what you mean by lining up the paper so as to cut both sides for the handle so it’s symmetrical. I guess I’m just too dumb to live…LOL I tried folding my paper in half and punching, but the paper was too thick.
Can you tell us how you did the handle specifically? Pretty please??? LOL
Oh, I know just who will get this for Easter!!! Thanks for the detailed video and for the lattice ribbon weaving guide. Did you know that there is such a thing as a ribbon weaver? I use one when I weave ribbons through English smocking on granddaughters’ dresses. It’s a flat plastic “needle”with an eye just wide enough for narrow ribbon! Your head must actually spin with creativity. Simply AMAZING BECCA!ReplyCancel

Haven’t been around for a while and now have the sheer pleasure to catch up on all your beautiful crafting. This is as magical as all the other things you’ve brought to us Becca. It really is exquisite.
Thank you for this and for every thing you give us.
Our sweet friend Michelle Rodgers is under the weather so the Design Team for Stamper’s Dream all got together to send her healing thoughts. Hope you’re back on your feet soon Michelle! Now if you got here from Laurie Schmidlin’s blog, you are in the right place.
I’m sending well wishes to Michelle with this little birdie. I cut the frame with an AllDeco Punch and the Ornament Chickadee is from Impression-Obsession. The sentiment comes from JustRite Stamps and is embossed with Versafine Black Onyx. The birdie is colored with Copic Markers, easy peasy! Your next stop along the way is with Dawn Easton.
Card Recipe:
Stamp: Impression-Obsession
Paper: The Paper Company, Bazzill, K & Co
Ink: Versafine – Black Onyx
Accessories: AllDeco Punch, Offray Ribbon, Pearls, Copic Markers
For those who asked about the lace flowers from yesterday, yes, I will make a quick tutorial – it was actually very simple so the video should be short and sweet (even with my longwindedness :-))
I also said that I would announce the winner to my Blogaversary Blog Candy this morning. What was I thinking??? There were over 1500 entries and I promised a bonus if the winner left a list item every day, so it looks like I have a bit of reading to do, lol! I’ll post the winner back here on Sunday morning. Thanks for your patience, and if you have not read the entries for the Blog Candy, they are amazing – you can see them HERE.
Beautiful card Becca.
Now, I left a comment everyday on your blog candy post but if, in the very unlikely event that I win, I’m unlikely to be able to claim the candy. I’m off on vacation Sunday afternoon and, as I’m in the UK and 6 hours ahead of you I will probably have left for the airport by the time you post the winner. I will give congratulations to whoever does win and hope that they will enjoy the candy as much as I’m sure I’m going to enjoy my vacation … safari and beach for a really relaxing break and 3 weeks of it as well!ReplyCancel

This is a gorgeous card, Becca. I love visiting your blog for inspiration, and just when I want to see something pretty. You also have the nicest following. I left a Bucket List comment the other day about want to learn how to make some of my recipes gluten free for my daughter who was recently diagnosed with Celiacs Disease and two of your readers contacted me. Imagine that! Thanks, Becca, for all that you do.ReplyCancel

Becca, I love your cards! Always always I love them. I’m noticing more and more detail now too, just because I always seem to see the most notable things! I love how you put a tiny frame of dark blue cardstock under your lighter papers. Very pretty! Another great card!!ReplyCancel

2 questions if you don’t mind… 1. The sentiment from JustRite… is it from a set or did you create it from two font sets on your own? I’m just getting into JustRite Stamper products so wondered if this is from a set I should be looking for or if I need to keep collecting the various font sets! LOL!! And… 2. You put beautiful bows on most of your cards… but how do you mail them??? Or even put them into an envelope for giving??? I make cards because I live far away from most family and even friends because of a recent move so all of my cards have to be mailed. I’ve thought about trying a bow and sort of stuffing it with tissue paper or cotton or the like and see how it works in the mail but I’d love any suggestions that you’ve found to be tried and true.

She’s adorable Bekka! I had decided that I didn’t need those particular MS punches…well guess what…now I know I do need them. Thanks, I think! I do love a punch. At least I already have the loop set, thank goodness. Punch art went out of vogue a few years ago and I’m so happy to see it making a comeback. :)

Hi Becca. This is a sweetheart of a card. Coloured to perfection. Love all the details.
Hi Becca,
This Magnolia card is absolutely beautiful. I am sold! I’ll be ordering a few of these stamps. All of your cards and projects are gorgeous. Continue to share your blessing with all of us, for your work is truly inspiring. Blessings!
Such an adorable card Bekka!! Your coloring is always oh so gorgeous!
Love all the embellies and that bow is beautiful!
OOOoooo – just can’t stop saying Wow whenever I click onto your blog each day!
how do you distress with the antique , is your card stock gloss? I often find that in my scrapping the page is just too white and I don’t necessarily want to put a colour behind. I know I have the Tim Holtz distress pads, is that it?
Becca,
She really is as cute as a button. Love your coloring and
and all those Martha Stewart punches. Very clever. Now you go and take care of
yourself.
Be well
~~Diane~~
