 
Happy Friday sweet friends! What are your crafty plans for the weekend? Or perhaps you’ll make us all jealous by heading to the beach or the mountains. No beach for me — I have work to do this weekend…. Earlier this week I started a birthday card for a friend and I finished it off last night to post today. It’s a simple shaped card using Spellbinders Labels Twenty Nine. Ahem, I think this is the first time I’ve used that particular die template – and it was a sweet discovery – I’m not sure how I missed using it! The filigree border I used is from Spellbinders Gilded Gate Two – I simply cut the gate four times and discarded the parts I didn’t need – the decorative top of the gate is stellar. I framed the top of the card with Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles and topped it off with Spellbinders Classic Ovals LG for my sentiment. The sentiment is from JustRite Papercrafts Birthday Vintage Labels Four.
So to recap the layers I used, I started with a cardbase cut using Labels Twenty Nine – largest size (#6), foam tape, cut four Gilded Gate Two and glue to Labels Twenty Nine #5, foam tape, oval from Radiant Rectangles, foam tape Classic Ovals LG. Ribbon and bow set on appropriate layers.
The other ladies on the design team are previewing June sets today, you can catch all of their inspiration at: JustRite Inspiration
Oh, I forget to enable mention, JustRite is having an awesome sale on dies – 20% off. It’s a great time to get all those you’ve been adding to your wish list, just sayin’ :-)

Today I wanted to create a framed card, so I started with Spellbinders® Gold Labels Four and Spellbinders® Labels Four cut at the same time to make a frame. Then I cut another Labels Four and intertwine them so that parts of Spellbinders® Twisted Metal Tags and Accents falls in front and part falls in back. I topped off with the smaller size of Labels Four and embellished my flowers with Spellbinders® Foliage. As you can tell, I was in a foam tape mood today — I love using dies as frames and when elevating each layer, it gives the card depth.
So to recap the layers I used from the bottom up, my card base is 5-1/2″ x 6-1/2″, foam tape, Pink Matting Layer 4-7/8″ x 6″, design paper 4-3/4″ x 5-7/8″, foam tape, die cut layer Gold Labels Four and Labels Four (cut at same time to make frame), die cut layer Twisted Metal Tags and Accents with Labels Four, foam tape, die cut layer Labels Four. Attach ribbons and sentiment on appropriate layer.

Beautiful, you are the queen of layering dies :)
What a treat to look at your beautiful birthday card! Your friend is going to be thrilled with it. It is just so darn pretty. I’m going back now to have another happy look at it.
Wow…..I LOVE those dies. (I can only wish) How spectacular! You just keep bringing them to life! The colors, the paper, the bow, the flowers, the pearls all are just spectacular! Thank you so much for sharing.
Beautiful, as always! Your creations inspire me to create more delicate crafts!
Amazing use of the Gilded Gate 2 – love it – and the Radiant Rectangle – really divine.

Hi Becca, you do make me smile with your “simple shaped card”!!! Just beautiful! Have a good day. Christine x
wow Becca, this is gorgeous. I am sure your friend is going to love this card.
I would only wish to get a birthday card as beautiful as this. Hint, hint – mine is coming soon July 9th. Last year I won your “words” stamp set on my birthday. Another reason you are so special. I have your A2 Filigree dies, newest stamps you came out with a few weeks ago and of course the Becca bowmaker. To say I am a fan, is kinda a laugh!!!!! Have a good weekend Becca.
Hugs,
Mstgane

Awesome card!! You did a great job as usual. Keep them coming please I love to see how you put these all together. I have a question for you, where do you get all of your pretty things you add to your bows in the middle, you either have some type of rhinestone, flower or something else. I would love to be able to buy some of them!?
Becca well youve done it again . The card is fabulous , each one excel the last
I don’t understand the point of cards that cannot be mailed. How do you deliver this? I try to keep my cars flat for that reason, but I see many, many beautiful cards like yours with buttons and ribbons etc. What am I missing?
LOVE – LOVE the 3Deminsion of this card….just Pops out !
Thank you. Your choice of border (from Gate die), and choice of
Paper made this soooo Beautiful.

Hi Becca, Really love this very pretty and girlie card, the patterned paper is really lovely and the die-cuts are so filigree and work so well, you clever girl. Really pretty.
I have spent most of today gardening, my back will be complaining tomorrow ha ha. Have a lovely weekend.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Your cards are just beautiful and a joy to see every morning…makes me feel that they are meant for me…haha Even at 72 Birthdays are welcome!!
