 
As I’m surrounded by family and reach out to talk and stay in touch with you all on a daily basis, know that I am so very thankful. Thankfulness for the joy that comes to me every day is the inspiration for my simple card today. It is a sentiment penned by my friend Suzanne Canon at Quietfire Design and it’s oh so very true – no one can measure how much a heart can hold. Thank goodness there’s no limit and to be honest I know for sure that there are times where mine overflows. I thought this was so fitting as we celebrate Thanksgiving in the US. If you are a friend abroad please know that I’m thankful for you too!! The sentiment I used for the card is No One Can Measure and I used Spellbinders Filigree Delight for the focal point background panel. And for those of you who follow day to day – look ma, no bow ;-)
So, go eat your turkey and polish it off with pumpkin pie. After that nice long nap you’ll need to take, be sure you stop in to see Suzanne at Quietfire Design for her Thanksgiving Sale :-)
Again, Happy Thanksgiving. Be in the present…..enjoy your time today!!
Good morning sweet friends, I thought I’d share a quick card and post with you as I get ready for holiday events. Normally I reach for lighter colors but I love using kraft and added in a pop of black. The November releases for JustRite Papercraft include men and womens wear, shoes and habadashery. I plucked a nice frame and small saying from the Fashion Vintage Labels Six set to say You’ve Got Style. I layered it up using Spellbinders Timeless Rectangles, Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight and Spellbinders Floral Ovals – I’ll just bet you have a couple of these in your stash :-)
I’m keeping it short today as I know you probably have pies in the oven and loved ones walking through the door. Anytime is an occasion for sharing whether you are in the US or abroad but in keeping with the holiday season, I wish you the best as we give thanks for all the blessings in our lives!
Here’s your Step By Step Recap of die cuts and layers, from the bottom up: Start out with a Card Base 7-1/2? tall by 5-1/2? wide (or see how to make that size with the Hinge Technique HERE) , design paper matting layer cut to 6-3/4″ x 5-1/4″, foam tape, die cut layers using Timeless Rectangles (cut apart to use as a border), foam tape, matting layer from black cut to 6-3/4″ x 3-3/4″, design paper layer cut to 6-3/4″ x 3-5/8″, die cut layer using Decorative Labels Eight, foam tape, die cut layer using kraft paper and duplicate layer in black with middle of oval removed. As always, cut everything first then stack. Position ribbon, bling and bow on correct layer, admire, then glue!
Thanks so much for stopping by, I’ll see you soon!!
Happy weekend friends, today I have a card to share using a sentiment I love from Quietfire Design. The sentiment is called “Learn to Write Your Hurts in the Sand”; pulled proudly from my stash when I realized I’ve never used it before. It does me as well stamping it and turning the meaning over in my mind as it does sending it out to someone who welcomes the message — does that happen to you when you stamp.? I think a huge part of why we stamp is empathy – we know how we feel when we get a meaningful card and the sentiment resonates with us – at least that’s how I operate :-) In the scheme of things this is an easier card than most – instead of my normal layers, I covered my focal panel with a piece of sheer fabric that is edged with lace. Beyond that I added Spellbinders Window Three, flowers made from Spellbinders Rose Creations and wonderful tendrils from Spellbinders Sprigs (love!!)
Here’s your Step By Step Recap of die cuts and layers, from the bottom up: Start out with a Card Base 7-1/2″ tall by 5-1/2″ wide (or see how to make that size with the Hinge Technique HERE) , foam tape, white matting panel cut to 7-1/8″ x 5″, cover with lace fabric and sentiment stamped on the bottom, foam tape, die cut layer using Windows Three, 7 flowers created with Rose Creations and Sprigs. As always, stack, position ribbon, pearls, flowers and bow on correct layer, admire, then glue!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. Hope you’re have a sweet and wonderful day!

Wow, this is a stunner – how many layers did you put on that card, it reminds me so much of an elaborate plaster ceiling.
Happy Thanksgiving to all US crafters.
Good morning Becca,
What a beautiful card you have made for us yet again. The filigree design sets take a card from nice to beautiful, stunning. Although here in Scotland we don’t have thanksgiving time, some of us give thanks each day that we are still here. Some of us are struggling but we could be an awful lot worse and for that i am grateful. Thank you for the time and talent that you give to us, that helps us to develope our projects and gives us ideas and encouragement that we can do it as well.
Have a lovely day with your family Becca and know that although we don’t celebrate this time, we d give thanks to the special people like yourself and Sue who give us that encouragement each day,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah
Happy Thanksgiving, Becca, to you and yours! May you have a wonderful celebration with those you love.
Maybe no bow, but, pearls in abundance, oh my! Beautiful.
Hugs

HT Becca – what? a card without one of your wonderful bows? but it really works. Sometimes less is more I suppose, But I really, really love your bows though – becca bows are the best in my book. Hope you have a great day.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING BECCA TO YOU & YOURS. I do hope you have a happy (relaxing?) day. Today you have presented us with another magnificent masterpiece – no beautiful bow but a very generous supply of pearls.
With best wishes to you all from Dublin, Ireland. XXX
Happy Thanksgiving Becca for you, family and friends. Your cards is very beautiful, thanks. Hugs.
But there are pearls! ;) Thank you, happy thanksgiving & blessings.
Wow! What a jaw-dropping stunner this card is, Becca!!! You couldn’t have chosen a better sentiment … it’s so touching and befits the true meaning of Thanksgiving. My very best wishes to you & yours for a safe, family/friend-filled holiday!
hahaha I was wondering when you would make a card without a bow. I like all the cards you make so it doesnt worry me if its with a bow or without but it must have cost you an arm and a leg not to put one on hee hee
xoxoxox
Becca, this card is beautiful as always. Love your cards and projects! I don’t always post, but look at your blog everyday from the emails I get. You are a very talented lady!! Hope you enjoy your day, too. Happy Thanksgiving! Hugs & Blessings!!
It isn’t a bad thing…but I am still receiving the emails.
I wish you had a link to unsubscribe.
Please look into this and see what can be done.
Thank you.
You are so VERY talented!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, I love all of your cards they are so beautiful , I so wish that you would make cards of the month with the cards that you made for that month, pick five or so and make that into kits, something like that. You have a great day and don’t eat too much.

Even though we don’t celebrate it in the UK, Happy Thanksgiving. Your card today is breathtaking. Your bows are gorgeous but the filigree work of this die shows you don’t always need one. I love it. xx
Wonderful, gorgeous, elegant!!! And I really love that it has no bow :D
Thanks, Becca, for another beautiful artistic inspiration.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Hi Becca. Beautiful card even without a bow:) Take care.
Thank you! I’m glad you heart is filled with love and beauty that you get to share with us…even without a bow….thanks ….
Wow, no bow and as beautiful as the others. Who wudda thunk! Another dazzling creation from the lady who is the amazing part of Amazing Paper Grace. Happy Thanksgiving!
Ha ha, I liked the look no bow comment, and it looks just beautiful without it, lovely scroll and flourishes!! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Hi Becca
WOW! What a stunning card with a beautiful sentiment. A must have, as this would be very apt for many ocassions. Have just looked at the SB die used and found that you created it too, this is one die that I must have it looks so versatile.
No thanksgiving here in Cyprus either, but like Nora (Scotland) I give thanks for being here and for the priviledged life that I live. There is now a lot of poverty in Cyprus but despite this still lots of love and support for those families suffering. We are told that the current situation will get worse over the next 12 months but I pray that these families do not have to suffer too long. There are some days when I feel really down but when I need some kind of comfort I turn to your blog. You are an inspiration Becca and I admire you for that.
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends.
Off to have a long browse at your creations now.
Take care.
Love Sheila x
Another gorgeous card and no bow needed!! Please post on the layering of the card because I’ve tried figuring it out but am lost. I ordered the die and would love to try to make a card like this. Thank you! Hope your Thanksgiving was peaceful and happy!
Hello,as always magic card! But, please write a die you used to angles under oval filigree .Thank, creative success!
beautiful card Bekka, as are the past few cards

What kind of adhesive do you use on fine details like this card?
I’m still struggling to find the right one for fine details.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
