 
Hiya friends! I thought I would bring some color into the world today. I came upon a pearlescent pad of paper in my stash and combined several colors with a stunning pattern from K & Company. It was a wonderful palette to use the new JustRite Stitched Circles Background. I used it in a subtle way to add texture to my design paper. Because the design on the stamp is so airy, this will be a fabulous one to layer over top of so many things with not too much risk of it becoming busy. Digging through my stash, I found a silver pearl embossing powder from a long gone stamp company – but I’m sure someone makes an up to date version.
Along with the gorgeous medallion stamp from the Congrats Vintage Labels Three and Seven Set , there are quite a few large sentiments – I picked ‘congrats”. The medallion is cut using Spellbinders Labels Thirty Two and the sentiment is stamped on Vintage Labels Seven.
You Can Make This Card Too: Start out with a cream hinged card base sized 6″ x 7-1/2″. Here are the rest of the layers from the bottom up. Pumpkin panel cut to 5-3/8″ x 6-5/8″ – adhere to card base using foam tape. Matted panel from gold cut to 4-7/8″ x 6-1/8″ and stamped design paper cut to 4-3/4″ x 6″. Add lace and satin ribbon. Using largest die cut from Labels Thirty Two, stamp and heat emboss medallion – adhere to base using foam tape. Add die cut layer using Vintage Labels Seven stamped with sentiment – adhere to base using foam tape. Add bow in lower left of Labels Thirty two die. Embellish with pearls and add stick pin.

Have a spectacular weekend dear friends! Find some time to nourish yourself creatively – you deserve it!!
Hi there sweet friends! Today I’m blogging both here and on the Waltzingmouse Design Team blog. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make something totally fun for Easter. Yes, it involves pink, yes it involves bunnies, yes it involves candy….my work is done! So here on my blog I’m showing the card I made for my ensemble. I say ensemble because I made something really sweet and easy to match the card. That something (and pattern) is over on the Waltzingmouse Stamps Design Team Blog – for the specific post, click HERE.
So for my card I stacked die templates like crazy. The bottom layer of dies is Spellbinders A2 Divine Eloquence and on top of that I stacked Spellbinders A2 Tranquil Moments. I’m using the same speckled design paper and pink ruffled ribbon as for my matching item. The card uses one of my favorite Waltzingmouse Stamps sets called A Good Egg. The egg shape and banner were cut out using Waltzingmouse Cut Files in A Good Egg Bundle – all the egg shapes are in the stamp set so you can fussy cut too!
Thanks so much for stopping by . . . don’t forget to pop over to Waltzingmouse Team Talk Blog. While you’re over there don’t forget to download the free pattern with instructions so you can make your own :-)
Today I want to share some news about an important date that’s coming but first a sympathy card to add to your portfolio. I always say easy and truly this card was less than an hour from concept to finish. That means, when you go to make it, it will be lickety split. This puts me a card ahead in my stash – a sad occasion to be ready for but I have to admit that sometimes the weight of the occasion puts a damper on my creativity hence the inspiration to work ahead. The simplicity of this card centers around this gorgeous flower from the $1.00 bin at Michaels this week. The flower is huge so I divided it in half by pulling out the center to use later — that left me this large center which is coincidentally large enough to nestle a sentiment. For the card background I’m using JustRite Papercraft Baroque Frame Background and small stackable sentiments from Magnolia Vintage Labels Seven.
To highlight the gold embossing on the background and make the flower pop, I used Spellbinder Luscious Labels One cut with gold foil. The inside of the flower was large enough to cradle Spellbinders Decorative Labels Thirty Four and my sentiment stamped on Spellbinders Labels Thirty Four. I finished off with a double bow and a skinny loopy bow on top. Hint: I used triple layers of foam tape to raise the sentiment up level with the petals of the flower. Whew, that’s it!
An Important Date is Coming!!

A beautiful card with a color that surprised me as I don’t think I have ever seen you use it before. Its so much fun to experiment with something new and this turned out just great. That background stamp just seems to fit in nicely in a lot of layouts. Of course the pearls really set it off.
What a stunning card. Your colors are gorgeous. Love that silver pearl embossing powder.
Hi Becca,
absolutely beautiful, this card. I LOVE the colours and the way you have enhanced the backing paper. Just lovely.
Thanks for sharing
Hugs, Rose
I am not a big fan of the color orange but I must confess it really works here! I would so copy this card but Inwoukd probably substitute green for the orange. Another winner, dear Becca!
Oh SOOO LOVELY Becca! (I should tell you too—Gracie was TOTALLY TICKLED that you contacted her personally! :) We’re friends! You MADE HER DAY!) :) You are SUCH A SWEET LADY! (I remember when you contacted me ages ago too! :) SOOO NICE!) :) HOPE YOU HAVE A LOVELY DAY BECCA!

Hi Becca,
Lovely card and different – in a very nice way! It’s nice to find some things we’ve forgotten about or in my case lost!
I’m trying not to buy any more stamps , dies , ribbon etc. etc!! I need to use what I have more than I do . However it is very difficult!
As the verse says – “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak! ”
Love Myra
What a beautiful collection of colours, brought together in another stunning card.

Love the stitched circles background stamp and I want some pearl embossing pwder now I’ve seen it!
Very pretty. The orange is so refreshing. Love how you stamped on DP.
I’m so in awe of your work. Beautiful xx
Absolutely beautiful, Becca!
Hi Becca,
This doesn’t have the normal Becca look to it, probably because it is not a color you use very often — but I really like it.
Just came back from a Craft Surplus Sale – sold a lot of stuff in anticipation of enclosing of my front screened porch into a glassed in “CRAFT ROOM” for me!! So very anxious, supposed to start on it Monday. So going through all of my stash, decided to get rid of a lot of stuff I haven’t used and probably won’t so it was off to another good home. Will be sure and send you a pic when it is completed.
Hugs,
Mstgane
