Christmas Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using JustRite Extra Grand Holiday Sentiments and Spellbinders Heirloom Legacy
Good morning friends!  Today is the last day of new releases from JustRite Papercraft and today we’re showing Extra Grand Holiday Sentiments a series of bold saluations for the holidays along with an add-on SVG set for those who have digital machines.  As you might imagine today I’m sharing a Christmas card and I decided to go the traditional way.  I used Spellbinders 5 x 7 Heirloom Legacy but I trimmed the ends off this time  so that it looks like a different die (visual at the end of this post).    Inside the oval of the Heirloom Legacy piece I added the Spellbinders Belgian Lace die.  Last of all I added the oval laurel from the Spellbinders In’spire Silhouette set.

Once I had everything set, I cut my sentiment from the Extra Grand Holiday Sentiments Digital Cut File Download for CR-02133 which comes with a cut set and a matting layer.  Since I already had rimmed other elements in gold, I rimmed the sentiment in gold as well then adhered in the center of the laurel.

    Another beautiful card! Glad to hear you will be in joking the outdoors, hope you experience sin shine and blue skies. I will split my time between the outdoors (with my cute two little puppies) and wrapping a wedding gift (from my sister and husband to his niece and fiancé). I wrap the dish boxes separately, layer like a wedding cake, use lots of tulle as ribbon and bow, then add roses and begonias at the top (either on or under the tulle bow). It is like making a very big card! Enjoy the day!ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca,
    The first thing I thought whenReplyCancel

  • ANN ROBBINSSeptember 7, 2014 - 11:38 am

    I’ll try again.
    First thing I thought when I saw this beautiful card, was that I didn’t have the die which you used and cut. BUT..couldn’t you use YOUR A2 Filigree Delight, think they look quite a bit alike. Of course since it has your name on it, I have that one. LOL This is absolutely stunning and a definite keeper. Hope you are enjoying your day and hopefully sunshine. We are here on the central eastern part of Florida. Hope it soon cools off!

    I am not being successful when clicking on “Question Parking Lot:” at the bottom of your post. User error, I’m sure… guess I need more instruction. Here is my question: I always love the red satin bows when you use them on one of your gorgeous cards. It always gives me a little internal “groan” because I can’t seem to make one, however. I have your bow maker and your CD so I know how to make the loops but I can’t get mine to look tidy like yours. Perhaps my hands aren’t strong enough to pull the bow tight? The slippery satin justs slides apart before I can get any glue on it and get it dried. I thought about using Fabric glue but still have the issue of holding things in place ’til dry. Help?ReplyCancel

House Warming Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using JustRite Vintage Labels Eight and Spellbinders at www.amazingpapergrace.com
Good morning sweet friends, popping in to share a card I made at the beginning of the month, it was simply waiting for a bow.  Even though it got all bowed up, it’s a masculine card that’s going off to my sweet son who just moved into a new abode.  I had new stamps and new dies on hand so this came together quite easily.   I was playing around with a gorgeous new JustRite Background called Ironworks Vintage Labels Eight and thought it would be the perfect backdrop for a fairly new Die D’Lite by Spellbinders called Home Sweet Home.  

Card Making Idea by Becca Feeken
I created the focal panel using Spellbinders Timeless Rectangles and Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight and my stamped background.  On top of that I added Vintage Labels Eight followed by a rosette then another layer of Vintage Labels Eight and finished off with the cut and embossed Home Sweet Home words.  So easy. To finish, I glued the focal panel onto a card base that was 11″ by 4-1/4″ scored at 5-3/8″.  Below you can see how I assembled the back before putting my stamped panel on top.  Pearls were added to the “O” in home so that I would have some way to pop it up using foam tape.  Lastly, I had a darling silver key that I hung off of the ‘E”.
WRBF-4393-2014

CRAFT SUPPLIES I USED
Rubber Stamps: JustRite Papercraft – Ironworks Vintage Labels Eight
Craft Paper: Bazzill Black, Neenah Classic Crest – Natural White – 80lb Smooth, Vintage Finds – Teresa Collins
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black and Clear Embossing Powder
Accessories: Vintage Labels Eight, Spellbinders called Home Sweet Home, Spellbinders Timeless Rectangles, Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight,
The Paper Studio Pearls, Spare Parts Key Charm, May Arts Silk Ribbon, Button


That’s all for me today friends, lots of behind the scenes happenings at Amazing Paper Grace as we prepare for annual blog maintenance.  I hope to be back tomorrow with another card done earlier in the month. Don’t forget, if you have questions on the posted card, leave a comment and I’ll answer in the Question Parking Lot at the end of each post.

Question Parking Lot:

So sorry friends, it wasn’t until Frances on comment #30 asked me which paper I used that I discovered my product list was missing.  It was in my draft but deleted somewhere in the process – I have restored it!   The paper pad used was Teresa Collins – Vintage Finds :-)

Well, it had to happen…I made a big goof and because so many people asked me about this card, I thought I would make the correction in its own post.  Yes, it draws attention to my silly goof but I want to catch you before you get to a dead end, like Katherine. (By the way, if you left a question in the question parking lot on the post where I share these cards, the answer should be there for you).

Here’s what Katherine said:
Hi Becca,
Love all your cards….You always give great inspiration.  I have a question that pertains to the Christmas cards you recently made using the Adorning Labels 25 and Labels 25 however you said you also used Classic Ovals Large. . . I found this to be much too small to fit the sentiments on them . . . could you have possibly used the Grand Ovals LF-110? I hope to hear back from you because I am stuck.

Thanks Becca for your help…
Katherine Hill

Here’s what I said:
gulp….
Well, it seems that when I wasn’t looking my Grand Oval #1 sneaked out and took up residence in the Classic Ovals LG Case and was posing as Classic Ovals LG #6.  Had I been on my toes, I would have spotted the imposter immediately because there is no such thing as Classic Ovals LG #6. Even I had to click on the links to prove it to myself! (Dramatic music here) Say it isn’t so . . . Well the nerve of that poser!!   I’ve ordered everyone back in their cases where they belong and I feel horrible!  I’ve edited my post —–>https://www.amazingpapergrace.com/introducing-amazing-paper-grace-elegant-christmas-swirls/  so that you can see the changes and make a note of them.

Here’s the bottom line:
Instead of Spellbinders Classic Ovals LG, you will need Spellbinders Grand Ovals.  Don’t have it?  An alternative pairing is the oval from Spellbinders 5 x 7 Heirloom Legacy with Spellbinders Floral Ovals.  So sorry for the goof  :-)

Happy Friday sweet friends, you bless me so and I hope you have a glorious weekend!

  • Mary H.August 8, 2014 - 3:58 pm

    Becca, I had to laugh to myself – you just made my day! I know you felt terrible at the goof, but it was so heartening to me, to find that you (an expert) got the wrong die listed on this occasion. It happens to so many of us, and truly – it’s not that big of a deal I guess. Maybe I’m weird, but it’s encouraging to me, when I read that my guru-s have some of the same problems I do. I find it very helpful as well, when there’s a card mishap of some sort, to read about how it got ‘saved’. So when I post cards that I call ‘a wart’ if it didn’t turn out as I envisioned, because of one thing or another, I hope it’s encouraging to somebody just learning, to read what I did wrong, and then hopefully not make the same mistakes! It was intimidating to me (still is) when I see all the beautiful cards, so much talent, and I’m still struggling to do pretty, well made cards. It’s nice to know there’s still hope for ‘goof-ups like me’. TFS – and also thanks for making my day! Hugs & Blessings.ReplyCancel

  • Bridget Larsen AustraliaAugust 8, 2014 - 4:08 pm

    hahaha Becca you’re only human. Happens to me all the time, I must breed imposters. So now I’ve devised a system where I leave the cases out as I use the dies and they don’t get stored until each die goes into their own case. Sometimes it drives me mad that I cant find a die to go back but those cases stay out until they find all their relatives.

  • Clare WAugust 9, 2014 - 1:12 am

    Well I’ve just spent 2 days looking for my misplaced ebosser manual – it turned up tucked inside a magazine that I’d filed away! sooo annoying. Anyway your oval saga has got me thinking – a couple of years ago when Spellbinders bought out Matting Basics set A&B a demonnstrator from the UK called Julia Watts (a pal of Sue Wilson) recommended we marked the back of each die with an A or B as we’d never know which came from what set if they got muddled up! I did this witha permanent marker and the letters have prooved useful on numerous ocassions when using both sets at the same time. Soo.. was thinking will mark my plain oval dies similarly – e.g. LO – Large Ovals, GO Grand Ovals etc.etc that way I’ll always know which set each and every plain oval die belongs to – simples. Guess what I’ll be doing today!.ReplyCancel

  • MaryannAugust 9, 2014 - 1:54 am

    HA ha ha ha ha ha I love you Becca, and thanks god, that you also do mistakes like this, as it just makes you a human like the rest of us here, and then it´s suddenly not as bad, that we make mistakes, hen even you do too, and as long as it´s nothing worser than this, nothing has happened right? Cause we can all see it then, when we got to that part, and no harm is done.
    So please hun don´t feel bad, we´ve all done this hundreds of times and no matter what, then I´m very sure, we all will again, even we know now ha ha ha.
    Have a wonderful week-end and lots of fun, and have a good laugh about such a goof. as that´s what it´s for, I´m sure.ReplyCancel

    Becca, you are just precious! Actually, I’m so thankful you finally made a wee goof. We won’t worry about you until you get up to doing colossal egregious hideous blunders. Love you, Girl!!!ReplyCancel

    Becca, I am happy that you answered here, but I can’t connect with your parking lot an my question is still unanswered. The parking lot doesn’t open to add comments, wish it was in you heading to click an open.(HOW)

    QUESTION” Your JustRite Vintage Filigree layers dies How do you separate the dies to get the four designs shown on the picture when there are only two dies.? A video would help explain how this done if you don’t want to answer here. I really wanted these dies, but this is a problem. I guess I could hand cut but I would rather use the die cut. Please, Please help with an explanation. thank you.ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca. Loved your explanation but love these cards even more. I have just ordered the sentiment stamps so can’t wait to try and make these cards myself. They won’t look as good as yours though. Thanks for the continuing inspiration. xxReplyCancel

    Dear Becca,
    even your goof can’t take away from us your amazing gift of talent and at some point we all have a die that decides it is not happy in it’s own case it wants to try a new mat and case (a case of the mat is always blacker on the otherside) sorry couldn’t help the pun. A beautiful card whatever the dies chosen to make it.
    Love and crafty hugs

    Hi Becca, I had to chuckle at your post today, when even ‘you’ can made a ‘goof’ it makes me feel a whole lot better, because I make ‘mistakes’ all the time haha. Great that you ‘enlightened’ us, thank you.
    Enjoy the rest of your day.
    Lots of love from Patricia xxReplyCancel

    Beautiful card. I love how the patterned paper peek-a-boos out from the lattice background. As alway you handle things with grace. As far as the “goof” is concerned— in humor— perhaps you were just “making sure we were paying attention” :) I remember teachers in high school making comments to students…ReplyCancel
