Christmas Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Washi Tape and Spellbinders Heirloom Reflections - www.amazingpapergrace.com
Well, since we’re in the countdown, I thought I’d whip up another quick Christmas card.  I found a way to use the washi tape I’ve managed to collect and I have to say I love this as a way to have a background.  This was simple, simple, simple – just die cuts, washi tape and a bow!  I simply picked all my gold washi tapes and lined them up on a panel.  On top of the panel I added Spellbinders Timeless Rectangles along with Spellbinders Heirloom Reflections cut from Spellbinders ATC so that the negative shape is what remains.

The washi tape behind colors the ornament and the final step is die cut words with the Spellbinders Happy Holidays Sentiment.

CRAFT SUPPLIES I USED 
Stamps: None
Craft Paper: Neenah Classic Crest – Natural White – Smooth
Ink:  None
Accessories:  Spellbinders ATC, Spellbinders Timeless Rectangles,  Spellbinders Heirloom Reflections,  Spellbinders Happy Holidays Sentiment, Anna Griffin Washi Tape, Paper Source – Gold Ribbon

Hugs and Kisses!  Hope your celebrations are wonderful!

Gift Bracelets by Becca Feeken - www.amazingpapergrace.comWell, okay then.  So many of you were curious about the bracelets I made that I thought I would change up and include a post here about my real world gift giving :-)  I attempted to take pictures before these were whisked off to my party last weekend but I didn’t think they were blog worthy, so I discarded the the pictures.  Back into the trash bin on my computer to find something to give you an idea of what I made.  So here is a picture in my dining room as I wrapped the gifts.

First of all the bracelets are made with leather and cup chain and wrapped with waxed cotton cord; I learned to make this bracelet at Spellbound 3.  I have to admit that at first I didn’t think this was my style until I put it on and felt the sparkle!  These bracelets are so trendy right now and combined with the fact that they are so simple to make, they passed my test for “can I persevere through twelve of them??”  I was delighted when I went to my local beading store for supplies, and she had her own version, so I altered mine to be a combination of  what I learned and several that I had seen online – here’s a step by step tutorial published online so that you can see what was involved with this quick project – http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-make-a-rhinestone-and-leather-wrap-bracelet.html

Gift Bracelets by Becca Feeken - www.amazingpapergrace.com
So how to package these without having to spend a ton of money?  I went to the Dollar Tree and found these little glass bowl packaged four for a $1.00.  Off to Walmart to buy tinsel garland to serve as the bed to put the bracelets on for $.99.  Off to Joanns for Wilton 4″ x 9.5″ Clear Cellophane Party Bags – for 25 they were $1.99.  Around the aisle at Walmart for mini-bows @$.99.  I printed off  “She Sparkles Everywhere She Goes” (that just makes me smile) and included it as a little card that holds the bracelet in place.   I slipped the little bowls each inside a cellophane bag and secured with a twisty tie while punching 1″ circles from silver glitter paper to include as a tag.

Lol, I hadn’t planned to share, but since you asked…. Just a little peek into the craftiness that goes along with the cards I make.  These women have been friends for many years and they have such sweet crafty souls – indeed they sparkle everywhere they go!  We do all this not because we’re picking up another hobby (necessarily) but because ya have to make something to go “with” the card, right?  Thanks for asking about my crafty endeavors, I loving sharing with you all and will see you soon!!


Question Parking Lot:

Becky Green on Comment #10 asked how the bracelets fasten – yep, it’s the button.  It pretty much has to be a shank button but it makes for a nice closure and I have lots of them in my stash ;-)

When I checked where I buy my beading supplies they didn’t have waxed cord to match the leather cord. Did you use two thicknesses of leather instead of the waxed cord. Wish I had seen your project earler my daughter- in- law is allergic to metal and this would have been a great gift for her. TFS and Merry Christmas my friend hugs AnnReplyCancel

Christmas Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Spellbinders Christmas Tree embossing folder and Heirloom Oval - www.amazingpapergrace.com
Hi there friends!  I’m checking in today with a quick card and a quick post to share.  Quick, because I’ve been on quite the craft wagon this weekend.  I’m so lucky to belong to a group of 12 ladies that have been paper crafting together for more than 12 years; we have a Christmas Party each year.  Collecting ideas throughout the year, we each make 12 (all the same) gifts and exchange them at the party.  I’m strutting a little bit from accomplishment because I made 12 bracelets – yes, I actually finished them!!  I wish I had gotten pictures but there just wasn’t time.  Our party was amazing and now we’re officially on the hunt for our ideas for next year.  All the hubbub of the weekend made me want to work on something simple so I picked this embossed card to work on.  The card is made from Spellbinders Merry Christmas embossing folder and the top header is made using Spellbinders Heirloom Oval.
WRBF-4520-2014
I used gilding flakes to apply the gold on top of the embossing.  Since it is not a precise method, the result looks shabby  and worn, I love it.  It was as easy as rolling my brayer through a dollop of Metal Leaf Adhesive and rolling over the raised part of the design.  Once dried, I applied 1 wispy sheet of leaf metal on top of the design and brushed away the excess!!  It’s been a long time since I worked with this thin leafing, I can’t wait to try it on a colored background!   For the gold banner, embossed the top part of the embossing folder with gold and cut the banner out then glued down for some contrast.

CRAFT SUPPLIES I USED 
Stamps: None
Craft Paper: Neenah Classic Crest – Natural White – Smooth, Gold poster board
Ink:  None
Accessories: Spellbinders Heirloom Oval, Spellbinders Merry Christmas embossing folder, Sewology Button, May Arts Silk Ribbon, Creative Concepts – Rose Copper Leaf, Speedball Metal Leaf Adhesive Size

Have a wonderful week sweet friends!!  See you soon!

    Becca: How simply gorgeous is you card. I am always amazed when crafters extend themselves beyond their traditional genre. Now that you’ve sufficiently teased us – your followers – about you making jewelry venture, I am sure that me and others would love to see the bracelet. Maybe you could picture the bracelet on the arm of one of the twelve sister crafters (I am certain none have take their bracelet off!). Perhaps, sometime in January please consider crafting the 13th bracelet and photo it. Then, you would have a bracelet to wear. Wishing you a safe, festive and blessed Christmas. -DKReplyCancel

    Beautiful. The embossing is striking. I’m sorry you didn’t take a photo of the bracelets. It’s nice to have friends to share art time with. I’m having two girlfriends over for a nice dinner and then a Christmas concert on Thursday. We met when I moved to Sarnia (Ontario) in 1999 when we started to work on altered books, and now we are doing the Gelli Plate with loads of projects in between.ReplyCancel
