Hi there blog friends!! I hope you had a glorious week! The wait is over!!! It has been so sweet to get inky with these new Waltzingmouse Stamps, they are so dad gummed cute! For the last several days we’ve been previewing the stamps and now, here are all the sets, you can see them in full – HERE. If you jumped in the middle of our list, the best way to make your way through the hop is to start at Claire’s Blog she has the complete sequence if you get out of order or if one of the links don’t work. If you have just come here from Tosh’s blog then you are in the right place! In order complete the hop, leave a comment on as many of the Design Team Members Blogs as you can as a random name is selected from each blog and then a final winner picked from those names. The winner gets a free set of their choice of Waltzingmouse stamps. You have until March 12th at 5:59am CST to leave your comment and a winner will be selected and shown on Claire’s Blog on March 13th. Stay tuned, below I’ll tell you your next stop along the hop!!
For my project today I made a square filigree card (4″ x 4″) using Spellbinders™ Adorning Squares. To make room for a sentiment I layered Spellbinders™ Scalloped Labels One on top and embellished it behind with an accent piece from Spellbinders™ Venetian Accents. That created a perfect little area to stamp the flourish and sentiment from the Folk Art Medallion Set. I also crafted a little box – instead of me creating one from scratch, I used Spellbinders™ Square Bracket Edge Box because the Folk Art motifs fit perfectly on the sides! Because Folk Art Medallions is broken down into different concentric stamps, you can change colors with each concentric motif you stamp, as I did on the box. On the lid I stamped the same flourish motifs from Folk Art Medallions and then added the little pennant from A Good Egg. On top of the box I added a little dimension using Spellbinders™ Eyelet Circles and lastly attached a little tag using Spellbinders™ Back to Basics Tagsandstamped with ‘to’ and ‘from’ using Folk Art Labels No. 25 Set.
I added a 2.75″ tall piece of paper around the inside of the box in order to extend the lid and make the box taller so that you could see the stamped motifs clearly.
Oh Becca These are both sooo gorgeous again. How on earth do you manage to come up with soo many new ideas all the time? You really are amazing girl, and so are your gorgeous creations here. I love both the box and the card a lot. So beautiful work here again.
Have a wonderful week-end ahead.ReplyCancel
I love how you stamped that Labels One! It looks so pretty with the new stamps and the bow. Between Tosh’s book and your sweet little box…I am thinking of going and deleting my boring blog post, LOL! AMAZING!ReplyCancel

Greeting blog friends!! Welcome to the Spellbinders Explore Beyond Blog Frenzy and Giveaway! I have two projects to share with you today, the first is smack dab in the middle of my comfort zone and for the second I’m actually ‘exploring beyond’ to try something just a little bit different :-) For the first project I wanted a memorable wedding card so I picked my colors of white and gold and used Spellbinders™ Celtic AccentsandSpellbinders™ Celtic Motifs for a dazzling accent of unique swirls and fine detail. The occasion called for a long format card that fits into a #10 envelope. There’s a bit of dimension with the raised medallion and I used the border for a tone on tone accent. The card has many details, but it’s a cinch to make and uses few supplies!
Score 8 1/2″ x 11″ pearl cardstock the long way, trimming to 4 x 9-1/4″
Cut a panel of pearl cardstock to 8-7/8″ x 3-5/8″ and mat onto a gold panel cut to 9″ x 3-3/4″
Cut/emboss two of the long borders and mount them on the card (using Glossy Accents) width wise with a strip of ribbon in between, securing on the back and adhering to base using foam tape. Apply swirl of pearls to right end and attach stamped sentiment.
Cut/emboss the pieces shown above making sure gold piece centers are hollow and white piece center is filled.
Score the gold piece as shown above on each leg AND
Score around again on the area shown above.
Clip as shown then accordion fold and glue gold pieces together. Glue by laying one edge on top of another and securing with two glue dots or glue.
Adhere to white round layer – this will form the bottom of the medallion.
Cut/emboss four of the rounded triangle pieces and secure in corner with a brad then stack the elements as shown above.
Attach medallion towards the left side of card.
Add bow and trinket pin on left side of card.
Now on to my second project for today…
I’ve always wanted to try embossing paste using Spellbinder die templates. You never know these things until you try, so I put on my brave hat and rescued some black tiles from a remodeling project. I cleaned the tiles off and spread Dreamweaver Embossing Paste across the template which I masked with painters tape then removed leaving the relief of the Celtic pattern. I got so excited about this, that I’ll be trying again with mat board and have some gold paste coming my way. I love the dimension! I assembled the tiles into an accordion fold book and inside I put some of my favorite Quietfire quotes as well as a place to journal some gratitude. Each of the inner pages is rimmed with gold and the same gold leaf pen used to fill in the corners before overlaying a celtic embellishment. The above picture shows the tile front cover and back cover of the accordion album, side by side.
So is there anything you have on your “want to try” list? Come on, be brave, tell me what it is!! I’ve found that experimenting around makes me eager enough to plunge into new techniques. I encourage you to embrace your curiosity and try those things on your ‘want to try’ list; do it – one by one.
LOVE the gold. You always have such wonderful layouts too.ReplyCancel
Linda WestyMarch 1, 2013 - 11:21 am
Wow that was great. I never tried that paste, so it was pretty interesting to see something created with it!ReplyCancel
Judy I, St. Louis MOMarch 1, 2013 - 11:22 am
Becca, your projects are awesome as always. I’ve had embossing paste for several years but have never tried it – probably it’s dried up, but you’ve given me the courage to try. Thanks for the great inspiration.ReplyCancel
Becca, that first card is stop-my-heart gorgeous! Oh those pearls combined with the gold! WOW! And I love the Celtic designs and the black and white of the second card!ReplyCancel
GORGEOUS wedding card, Becca!!! Always LOVE white & gold (or silver) for a wedding/anniversary card. Your 2nd project is totally amazing — I just need to learn to embrace the media mixage trend and ‘explore beyond’, but sometimes I’m tentative and have to be sure before I invest the money in new product.ReplyCancel
WOW BECCA!!!!!!!!!!! BOTH projects are STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) I am in AWE!!!!! (As usual with your work!) :) THEY’RE GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They TAKE MY BREATHE AWAY!!!!!!!! :) WOW! WOW! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)ReplyCancel
FORGOT to answer your question: Is there something I want to try that’s out of my comfort zone? I want to try more ARTSY type of cards! More like PAINTING my own watercolor, DRAWING my own image!ReplyCancel
Diane M.March 1, 2013 - 11:38 am
WOW! Absolutely stunning! and thanks for the details on how you made it.ReplyCancel

Ann RobbinsMarch 1, 2013 - 11:39 am
Something very different for you, my dear!! Entered the contest, hoping!!!!
These cards just rose, at the speed of light, to the top of Francie’s favourite Becca cards. In a word, they are amazing.
I have used the paste with a Dreamweaver’s snowflake stencil and glitter. The results were terrific. Then I packed it away never to be used again. Duh. I must fish it out. One day in the future, I would like to master sponging and brayering. These skills totally elude me. For now, anyway.
Back to your cards and step by step instructions. Thank you. You have no idea how much I appreciate you, your craft and wordsmithing virtuosity and best of all, you share with us.ReplyCancel
SusanMarch 1, 2013 - 11:42 am
Your wedding card is simply magnificent Becca — so rich and classy looking.
Love the idea of using the embossing paste on the tiles — but as usual your creativity took you one step further and you created an amazing journal — wow!

Beautiful projects Becca!!! The embossing paste in the white on black is stunning – never tried that color combo, but will now that I have seen yours! Thanks for sharing!!!
Gelli Art Plate is something I would like to give a whirl – a bit spendy, but still thinking about getting one….saw some beautiful backgrounds a friend made and that set me looking into the technique.
Paper Hugs,

Oh my! Super stunning projects! I’m totally blown away.ReplyCancel
Vicky SchmidtMarch 1, 2013 - 12:33 pm
Becca, I love both of the cards. I would like to try both of them. The first for a wedding & the second for my daughter’s birthday.

I also have a lot of embellments that I need to fogure out how to use. Thanks for all you do.ReplyCancel

I am actually trying 2 new things at this time. First is using dies and second is coloring stamped images with alcohol markers. I am having much better luck with dies than coloring but I know with practice I can ONLY get better! Your work is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!!!!ReplyCancel

That is a beautiful die. Love the effect when used with the foil coated card. The journal of gratitude is something we maybe all should be using every day. Never thought to try paste with spellbinders. Very innovative.ReplyCancel

These were so stunning I had to pull out my Ironworks motifs (the only motif set I have) and make multiples of each die in double sided gold CS. I immediately made a hastinote and sent it to my “Spellbinders Sister” with some samples. She just bought a Grand Calibur last week. Thanks for the inspiration.ReplyCancel

Stunning work once again Becca! I too would like to know the source of your foil cardstock.

That being said, this is a project that I need to try. Your work is just beautiful!

These are beautiful Becca, I love the accordion style, what gorgeous sentiments in it too.
I am so tired of my old style of colouring images, I have a new passion (addiction) for dies but money holds me back. I have however purchased some of the new Spellbinders frames and my aim is to work on a new card style….gulp!

Becca: I was a little disappointed when you stopped your fabulous card kits, but I love your new direction of totally sharing your talent and skills with us. You are truly blessed to have such an imagination to develop such beautiful designs. I am so glad you have partnered with such great companies as Spellbinders and JustRite. I look forward to your next creations!
Hi there blog friends, I have another shaped card for you!! Purple is the order of the day :-) I love taking all the new filigree dies and layering them for a lacey look. I started out with Spellbinders™ Radiant Rectangles and cut so that I would have a hinge. For my back side I cut the same combination but left out the middle piece so that I would have a solid back. I did cut out an extra middle piece so that I would have something to layer with – I popped it up on two pieces of foam tape and stamped on it with Garden Gate Background Stamp. On top of that I layered a JustRite Papercrafts custom die – Vintage Labels Three that is stamped with a matching stamp from For All You Do Vintage Labels Three. I finished off by one more small little layer made with Spellbinders™ Standard Circles Small. I filled it with a sweet sentiment from Circle of Love.
Also, be sure to visit me tomorrow, March 1st, at noon (EST). I have a die template to show that you probably have not seen before ;-). It was not shown during the recent sneak peeks, so tomorrow I’m going to give you some ideas on how to use it; it’s truly a treasure. It’s being shown as a part of the Explore Beyond Sneak Peek and Giveaway. Yep, as a part of the Sneak Peek there is a giveaway for die templates, so you want to be sure to read the entire Sneak Peek post for the link to enter. In addition as a bonus, (not part of the Blog Frenzy) leave a comment on my blog March 1st post after 12 o’clock noon or my March 2nd post after 12 o’clock noon (EST) and I’ll pick a name to receive the Filigree Topped Box with Cards I showed recently as well as some extra stamp set goodies I have stashed away. I’ll pick a name on March 3rd.
Many of you had questions about how to make the filigree shaped card that I described as having a hinge, from the card I showed on this post https://www.amazingpapergrace.com/you-amaze-me/. Today I have a quick tutorial on how to! Even though I leave the insides of my cards blank, I try to finish off the insides so there is no tape showing or no raw ribbon edges – this video will walk you through that but you can save a step or two if the inside doesn’t matter to you. Here’s the tutorial:
Oh, and more great news – JustRite has new shipping rates!! Check it out!! Thanks so much for stopping by today – if you’re mildly curious about what I’ll be showing, see you tomorrow!!!
So delicate and so gorgeous Becca. Purple is my fave colour so you were onto a winner straight way with me!!ReplyCancel

Thanks so much for the tutorial on the hinge and on how to use the waxed paper because I have been wondering “ok how was that done”. I love your tutorials the are always so well presented and I am definitely a visual learner. TFSReplyCancel
As soon as I saw how you folded the edge of the cardstock in this marvelous tutorial the whole thing came together in my confused mind! On the card for Feb 28 did you lay the back side of the card flat and run the whole thing in your die machine so it would be solid? That card was a little confusing to picture (in this confused mind)! You have gotten so good at putting these combination of dies together to accomplish the right look! Thanks for all your work making the tutorial and answering our questions.ReplyCancel

Thanks so much for the tutorial Becca! It helps a lot! Another question–I find that with the more intricate Spellbinders dies, I have to fun them through the machine several times. How many times do you have to run the die through the machine to cut through the second layer of the hinge?ReplyCancel

Thanks for the video.ReplyCancel
This is just a note of thanks. I’ve been following you since 2/08 and need to let you know how you have inspired and reinvented my creative mind. Up to that time I was an average crafty person dabbing in an assortment of media but not seriously committed/in love with One media but stamping was something I used for class work and ‘primitive’ card making. How I found you was definitely God’s gift to me because from day 1 – card # 1 I am having a love affair with your blog. Your card layouts, designs, choice of colors & papers, ideas aside from cards and tutorials have been the finest lessons I needed and use daily. I LOVE your cards. I have built up 3 3″ binders filled with your daily offerings and use it like a bible/guidance/ inspirational ideas to follow. Makes me feel like a teenaged kid grasping at and in awe of your creative mind. I thank you for generously sharing your ideas. May you always be blessed.ReplyCancel

As you said, it can be used for other cards too. I realize it takes your time to prepare these, but oh, it is so enjoyed. Since you can’t come to my area and teach classes (or ?can you?!), your videos are the next best thing! Hope all is well in your world, and been loving the cards & posts.
