I love this tri-fold card format.  I sneak peeked of a small portion of this picture a couple of months ago and have pulled the entire thing out of my stash to show.   For those who have not tried it, you can find the technique on Splitcoast HERE.  I worked with vintage papers from K & Company’s Life’s Journey and a lace that I rescued from one of my sewing mishaps *wink*.   I love the filigree element – another fab find from the aisles of Hobby Lobby Jewelry department. 

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Collection
Paper:  K & Co – Life’s Journey
Ink:  Distress Ink – Scattered Straw, Distress Ink – Brushed Corduroy
Accessories:  Spellbinders Fancy Scalloped Pierceability, Ribbon, Crocheted Lace, Velvet Ribbon, Leaves, Pearls, Filigree Jewelry Finding – Hobby Lobby

Hope you are having an awesome week!

    This is beautiful Becca, so soft and feminine. Such a neat idea for a card. Also I would like to say that i received my Card Maker magazine yesterday and in side the front cover is an advertisement from Spellbinders and a beautiful card made by you. I thought to myself that has to be one of Becca’s creations before i even saw your name. It’s so nice to see your work in other places too.ReplyCancel

    Becca,
    That is one of my favorite card formats.
    I just love what you did with the lace. And that filigree is a
    “fab find”. I love how you put a new spin on things. Very creative.

ETA:  This card didn’t post at its scheduled time, but I still wanted to share the card with you :)

Has any one noticed that all of the Christmas supplies are already out at Hobby Lobby?  For crying out loud, I love Christmas and they are making me want to drop everything and start decorating hehe!!!   My poor family, they don’t know what to expect from me, but little do they know that my Christmas stuff may go up in October :)  Thanks goodness Magnolia is having a Christmas in July challenge over at the Magnolia-licious Highlites site, I posted this card.  This frame seemed the perfect place to perch for #311 Tilda in Winter Stockings and the frame is Spellbinders Poinsettia Frameabilities.   

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Magnolia – #311 Tilda in Winter Stockings
Paper:  Bazzill, The Paper Company
Ink:  Colorbox Chalk Ink – Dark Moss
Accessories:  Spellbinders Poinsettia Frameabilities, Martha Stewart Circle Cutter, Gold Half Pearls, Ribbon, Prima Flowers, Brad, Copics

I backed up the frame with a circle cut with a new tool I have – a Martha Stewart circle cutter.  It will cut a circle up to a 5.5" diameter.  I typically use Spellbinders for the smaller circles and found this tool to come in handy for the larger ones.  I would rarely do one over 6" in diameter, so this tool is hanging close by.  I have other circle cutters but can I say that I’m circle challenged?  For the  Poinsettia Frameabilities, I did the reverse stencil technique using chalk ink and came out with a fairly nice opaque coverage for a one color reverse of the frame.   Not familiar with reverse stencil?   I cover it in previous posts HERE.  Tilda is colored with Copics and yes, the new lighter colors are a dream; you can get them HERE.

Thanks for stopping by!

    Never amazes me that each year the Christmas Decorations come out earlier and earlier! At some point I am sure we will see them year round! If we had a house big enough we could have a room for each holiday and just leave it decorated. Then whatever mood you were in, you could just go sit in that room!!
    Your card is absolutely beautful for little miss magnolia!!ReplyCancel

    Good evening, Becca- hope you had a good time in Florida – I am really envious. Your card is so pretty. I bought this MS circle cutter from Michaels when I was in Florida on holiday a couple of years ago and have never used it, so thank you for the inspiration and my renewed interest in this tool :)ReplyCancel

I have a new card to share using JustRite’s newly released limited edition, Witch Way To the Treats.   This set uses the 1 3/16 " mount and has 10 centers and borders.   I found with this set that you can basically keep stacking shapes to make the medallion as large as you like.  If you are using it for a small tag – then one or two layers is nice.  If you are using it for a card, why not add many more concentric layers to bring the size up for a larger focal point?   Better yet, using both scales you can create the card then the matching tag with the sizing on this set.

I used the following layers to make my focal point, working from the top to the bottom:
1 " EK Success Punch (JustRite Center)
Spellbinders Standard Circles Large #2 (JustRite Border)
Spellbinders Scalloped Circles Large #1
Spellbinders Standard Circles Large #3
Spellbinders Pinking Circles Large #3

I’ve put a number on the end of each die template to identify which of the templates I used out of the set as shown below.  With my die templates nested, I count from the smaller center to the larger outside templates.

I tied two ribbons together tacking the first one on top of the other with a little bit of glue runner then tied a bow and added a couple of bling for a simple card.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  JustRite – Witch Way to the Treats
Paper:  My Minds Eye, Bazzill
Ink:  Versafine Black Onyx
Accessories:  Spellbinders Standard Circles Large, Spellbinders Scalloped Circles Large,  Spellbinders Pinking Circles Large, Ribbon, Paper Shapers Photo Corner Scallop, 1" EK Success Punch

More to come, soon!

    You are truly the bow queen. Really a cute card and your being the guest designer of JustRite made me look at them for more purchases. I was going to comment on Patricia’s reply but this isn’t the place. You know who you are and what you do and why. You make the best cards I’ve seen and I’m a true fan.
