 
Top of the morning to you blog friends!! You can’t see me smiling but just know, I am. Although I haven’t been around very much there’s lots of behind the scenes work that I needed to do, so I’m a happy camper when I can share stuff that’s been sitting in a pile in the corner of the room. Today we’re introducing Spellbinders Custom for JustRite – Lacey Tiers; its one of the dies that sold out with my Kit Club and people wanted more so JustRite brought them back. The cool thing is, it is available right now and it’s not bundled with anything else. I wanted to share card making ideas for an anniversary card using Lacey Tiers, Spellbinders Timeless Rectangles and uses a sentiment from JustRite Papercrafts called Large Elegant Sentiments.
Here’s your Step-by-Step Recap: From the bottom up, Card base 6-1/4″ x 6-1/4″, foam tape, blue matting layer 6-1/8″ x 6-1/8″, die cut layer using 2 Timeless Rectangles, foam tape, blue matting layer 5″ x 5″, cream matting layer 4-7/8″ x 4-7/8″, foam tape, die cut frame using three Lacey Tiers borders staggered, in center die cut layer using circle left over from Lacey Tiers Border and circular motif from Lacey Tiers stacked. Add flowers and seam binding. Banner is hand cut and lattice element from Lacey Tiers is sandwiched in the middle.
My next project is a gratitude journal….if you received this kit, then this was one of the projects you made. It features Melissa Frances products and is essential a decoratively covered book with journaling pages inside and measures 6″ x 6″. It’s held together by two metal rings and threaded on a sweet vintage metal hanger. The front cover made using Lacey Tiers and the sentiment is from Filigree Journal Covers. You get that stained glass like motif when cutting with only the large round die. I layered the border motif on top and popped this combination up on foam tape and a gathered crepe paper flower on top along with added a bow and pearls.
There are lots of wonderful samples for you to see today. I hope you can pop in and visit these ladies.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you take a couple of minutes today and treat yourself to getting crafty :-)
Oh my goodness blog friends, I guess I didn’t know what I got myself into offering up this video tutorial for the Spellbinders Gilded Gatefold Card. I’ve been working on it all week and finally got to the end today. So you know me, I always do new samples when I do a video so today is no different. Using simply precious new stamps from QQuietfire Design, I created a new baby keepsake to announce a birth. I went all girl because you know I jump at any chance to use pink. Rest assured though, the stamp set includes everything needed to switch over to little boy!!
Here’s a peek inside!
On the inside I used Spellbinders Floral Ovals to create a frame where I hung this darling Spellbinders Dresses One (I love those dresses)! All I did to it was wrap ribbon around it and put a flower on it. Then on the right side I typed the name of a the newborn and her birth date. I used Quietfire Design Welcome Little One stamp set and filled in the center with A Baby is a Little Bit of Heaven. Of course the outside of the card is done with Spellbinders Gilded Gate Two and I popped up Spellbinders Gold Labels Four on both the outside of the card and the inside of the card for my sentiment. The dotted embossing is done by Spellbinders Dainty Dots.
The name and date of birth below were printed on my inkjet printer.
I hope you enjoy the tutorial, I show you how to make the Christmas Card first, but once you understand the layout, it’s very easy to do it for any occasion. (Note: the thicker your paper, the more difficult it will be to make the card lay completely flat. Once the bow and embellishments are applied to the front, that will help a great deal).
Here is the video tutorial:
| SUPPLIES I USED |
Stamps: Quietfire Design – Welcome Little One
Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Smooth Natural White 80lb, EKS – Pink Viburnum
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories: Spellbinders Gilded Gate Two, Spellbinders Dresses One, Spellbinders Dainty Dots, Spellbinders Floral Ovals, Spellbinders Gold Labels Four, May Arts Silk Ribbon, Recollections Pearls, Prima Flowers, Jolees Dual Tone Prizm Ruby, Becca’s Bow Maker, Basic Grey Magnets, Foam Tape, Adhesive Runner, Mini Glue Dots, Scor Tape |
So what did you think about all the new Spellbinders that hit the sneak peek over the last six days? Pretty amazing! Thanks so much for stopping by – I enjoy your visits and enjoy your writings here. Be well and remember, it just the little things
I’m having a wonderful 4th of July with friends and family. If you ask me, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Going into it, we were scheduled for 100% rain which means no hope of a sunny day but I knew there was 100% chance we were going to have a good time any way. Prediction = true :-) My prayer for all is that you hug the folks around you and understand no matter what comes our way daily, we’re blessed to have our family, our friends (near and abroad) and each other. Today I’m so happy and proud to express an appreciation for my country so I cooked up a true red, white and blue card.
I started out with Spellbinders Grand Decorative Labels One and cut a card base using the Spellbinders Hinged Card Base tutorial (someone always asks :-)) On top of that I layered Spellbinders A2 Filigree Delight (I sliced an inch or so out of the center then taped the two pieces together along the back). I then cut the center out using Spellbinders Standard Circles SM. I finished off with Spellbinders Labels Twenty Four (stamped with Waltzingmouse Stamps Florentine Frippery), that I scored on each pointed edge and curved using a pencil. Recently Waltzingmouse Stamps released a cool patriotic set of stamps, so I knew that I’d be using USA 1776 today. I adore safety pins and I picked up these antique 7Gypsies pins recently and I thought it would be the perfect place to thread on a red, white and blue pearl.
| SUPPLIES I USED |
Stamps: Waltzingmouse Stamps – USA 1776, Florentine Frippery
Paper: Masters Touch 140lb Watercolor Paper, Bazzill
Ink: Amuse – Cherry, Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories: Spellbinders A2 Filigree Delight, Spellbinders Grand Decorative Labels One, Spellbinders Standard Circles SM, Spellbinders Labels Twenty Four, Seam Binding, Darice Pearls, 7Gypsies Antique Pin, Recollections Pearls, Button, Becca’s Bow Maker |
Hugs friends, enjoy your fireworks!!

Oh my goodness Becca, this is gorgeous. I love that die and what you did with it. The colors are beautiful too.
Sooo gorgeous Becca, ty for sharing
Oh so beautiful Becca! I love the gratitude journal and card. Just Rite is a great company to release your dies so we can all have a chance at them!
OH my! GORGEOUS doesn’t quite describe these! Amazing!
Ooooh my goodness, this is soooooooooooo gorgeous. I´m totally amazed by the beauty in these cards and projects here. You are truely amazing Becca, and I can only say again, that I totally LOVE LOVE LOVE everything you´ve done here again.
Gorgeous projects. These dies look so beautiful. :D
Gorgeous, both of them!
Truly beautiful as your craft work always is Becca. A remarkable talent.
Another beautiful card. You really are amazing. I want to thank you for the wonderful idea about organizing your ribbons. I have cardstock that is used for backing comic books that collectors use. It is the perfect thickness to use for wrapping fat quarters etc. I have spent the last few days cutting it and wrapping my ribbon around the pieces.
I am so happy to finally have a way to store ribbons that actually works.
Thank you for sharing.
WOW!!!!!!!!!! HOW CREATIVE & GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!:)
Love your Lacey Anniversary card! I wasn’t going to get this die but seeing it now I really think I have to have it. You always seem to do that to me.
Absolutely lovely.

Thanks for the card idea. I was a gold subscriber to your kit club (totally bummed things didn’t work out) and I am thrilled to see more ideas for the kit dies. Becca, I will buy everything you design. I get so many wonderful ideas from your blog I believe the least I can do to say “thanks” is be a loyal customer.
Every time I think your cards can’t be any prettier than the one I am looking at you surprise me with yet another gorgeous card. Your designs are just the best. Thank you and God Bless you
you just blow me away with your insight of how to get the most out of your dies- wow- these projects are fabulous- thanks again for the inspiration
I am thrilled for you that JustRite are continuing with your dies from your kits.
Your cards make me smile. Beautiful Becca!
Oh I am so happy JustRite is letting out your dies! These projects are so pretty and you always lend such inspiration.
How strange I had just finished making two Blue and white cards when I turned on my computer and saw your beautiful creations. I am going to make some more using blue and cream now as your colour combination looks so much better. So glad those of us who have only started following you after the kit club finished can now have the chance to get these dies. Thanks again for sharing Becca and God bless you.
Warm hugs from South Australia.
All your cards are just beautiful! Your site is the one I go to for inspiration. However, it also makes me want to purchase every die you use. Thank you for allowing us to see your wonderful cards.
Beautiful card. thanks as always for sharing.
Both your Anniversary card and Journal are amazingly beautiful. I especially love the multi-layered card, that’s definitely the type of card that I enjoy making. Thanks for sharing Becca.
Your desire to continue to grow is inspiring. Your cards are so pretty.
Oh Becca, I can’t wait to try this card . I was lucky enough to get 4 of your kits and I love this one so much but then I loved all 4. The Journal is great also.
Maybe I’ll send this card to myself on our Anniversary in August!!
God certainly blessed you with a great talent! You are so outstanding.
Every day I check my e-mail to see what you have created & today was
outstanding….Thank you, Thank you for sharing this talent with us
So pretty! I even spent the afternoon trying to “half-duplicate” it (since I don’t have all of the spellbinders needed. Lots of fun.
Both of these cards are gorgeous. I like the vintage hangers, I would like to make these for my bible study. What a good reminder to be grateful.
Out of this world Becca. You are an inspiration to all of us. Thank You,
Wow as usual to awesome creations, just love them. Do you ship your kits to Australia Becca?

Sue

Once again your projects are outstanding! Since I was a kit club member and ended up purchasing all the kits so I am going to borrow you blue card and recreate it my way. Your inspiration teaches me so much that I am able to transfer to other projects because you teach as you create. I do wish you were going to have another kit club.
Two absolutely stunning projects, love them.
Another absolute beautiful creation. I immediately went on to Justrite and bought this set. I really enjoy looking through your site. God has blessed you with great talent.
Love these dies. I got them in your kit. Love them . You did an awesome job with this design. Thank you for sharing.
I had a déja-vu moment until I realized that I am familiar with these dies because I have them from one of your kits. They are just so pretty and thank you, Becca for giving us wonderful projects that inspire us to creative! Thanks also to JustRite – there’s another bunch of ideas there too for using this beautiful die collection.
Hi Becca:
As always you post loveliness. The card and journal are very pretty and so intricate. How nice to see the gratitude journal this morning and sure hoping that you might post more ideas for altered journals and/or composition books. Thanks for sharing! Jean.
I love all the cards! I notice that you mention a kit. Is there some kind of club or something? I looked at the web site and couldn’t find anything about it on there.
Thanks for sharing your talent!
Terri
That’s so pretty! I would never have thought to layer the square designs like that, awesome.
Ter ;)
All I can say is WOW this a beautiful card. One question I can’t figure out how you cut the paper to get a card 6-1/4 x 6-1/4 any info would be greatly appreciated again I can’t wait to login and see what beautiful creation you have made I’m so inspired by you.
