Hi there blog friends – yes, I’m still here.  It’s been a challenging month and I have not felt well; being under the weather kept me away for a bit!  I have two new cards today and new dies to show and you know that makes my heart sing!  I hope you can peek in for a minute – I’ve been missing you all.  The first card I’m sharing has a little bit of a vintage flavor.  I used a faux batik technique to highlight the beautiful Embroidered Background Stamp by JustRite Papercrafts.  So many people have shared this technique online so do a google to get the basics.  I took the clean way out and instead of spritzing or using anything wet, I simple used daubers to put color where I wanted before covering and ironing off the embossing powder – I think it gives a subtle, random, aged coloring.  Then of course a layered up a group of dies!  On the bottom I started with JustRite Nested Medallion Label Dies, then stacked Spellbinders™ Vintage Lace Motifs followed by Spellbinders™ Classic Circles SM, followed by JustRite Antique Label One and finally JustRite Antique Tags One.  I separated each layer with thin foam tape and really, the build up is not too much.

I added some pearls and eyelet lace that I distressed a little bit with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: JustRite Papercrafts – Embroidered Background Stamp
Paper: Bazzill, Neenah Classic Crest Cream 80lb
Ink: Amuse Nutmeg, Victorian Velvet Distress Ink, Vintage Photo Distress Ink
Accessories:  JustRite Nested Medallion Label Dies, JustRite Antique Label One, JustRite Antique Tags One, Spellbinders™ Vintage Lace Motifs, Spellbinders™ Classic Circles SM, seam binding,  Recollections Pearls, Want2Scrap Finesse Swirls Pearls, eyelet lace, Glimmer Mist – Cork

Adding again to my Christmas stash, I used the O Christmas Tree stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs.  I paired it with a wonderful new Spellbinders™ Medallion Five die template.  Love! Love! Love!!  I embellished the bottom of the card with Spellbinders™ Asian Accents  and Spellbinders™ Classic Edges One and offset the scallops and finished off with a a tiny oval tag from Spellbinders™ Back to Basics Tags.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – O Christmas Tree
Paper: Bazzill, My Minds Eye, Kraft Paper
Ink: Amuse French Roast
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Medallion Five,  Spellbinders™ Asian Accents, Spellbinders™ Classic Edges One, Spellbinders™ Back to Basics Tags , seam binding,  Recollections Pearls, Spare Parts Brad, Maya Roads Pearl Pic

Hugs to you all, thanks for stopping by today!!

Hi there blog friends.  I have to admit that holiday preparations already have the best of me. By this point in the year I’ve normally made at least a handful of Christmas cards and tags, but it’s already a catch up race for me.  No worries, it’s never too late right (as I think of the people who make holiday cards year round).  Today I’m sharing a tag, it’s always a nice and unique finish to a gift and it doesn’t always follow the same constructs as making a card; anything goes.  So I pulled out some trinkets, lace, ribbon and such and got to work.

I cut a tag from a rectangular piece of paper 3-1/2″ x 6-1/4″ and lopped off the top left and right edges; it is stamped with an Our Daily Bread Designs background called Christmas Tree Carol.  Simple enough.  I skirted the tag with a border Spellbinders™ Vintage Lace Accents, then layered with another skirting of  lace and velvet ribbon (yum).   After gathering a tuft of tulle I glued it along with a seam binding bow to the tag and topped it with a pearl pin laced with three ribbon flowers that came connected as a trim.  Using  Spellbinders™ Decorative Labels Eight, I stamped the small packages and sentiment from an Our Daily Bread Designs set called Perfect Gift and tucked it in behind the lace.  I really mauled the hole I created at the top of the tag so I covered it with a dainty element from Spellbinders™ Venetian Accents. 

One down – many, many more to go, lol!

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs –  Christmas Tree Carol,  Perfect Gift
Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Cream, Bazzill
Ink: Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink, Walnut Stain Distress Ink
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Vintage Lace Accents , Spellbinders™ Venetian Accents,  Spellbinders™ Decorative Labels Eight, seam binding,  Recollections Pearls, Spare Parts Glitter/Pearl Brad, tulle, velvet ribbon

Hoping you are enjoying the wonderful changes in weather and getting ready for the sweet season to come.

Is there anything you cannot stamp on?  Today I stamped on wax paper and I was surprised that it worked out just like I wanted.  During our last Waltzingmouse Stamps release there was a service issue with the manufacturer and Claire delayed the release until now – it’s in stock!  This has been one of my favorites and I’ve loved playing around with the set, but didn’t want to tease needlessly.  I’m back with a card today featuring that magnificent seed packet from Vintage Seed Packet ; I wanted some translucence but not the bulk of vellum so made it from wax paper.  The template for the seed packet is HERE – since I made mine from wax paper, I simply hand cut it using the template as a guide.  


I’m not sure if my wax venture was successful because of the ink I used or the patience exhibited, lol.  I simply stamped with Amuse French Roast Ink, left alone for a minute or two then ever so gingerly hit it with a couple of shots from my heat gun. It is fragile, so I tried to keep my hands off of the ink.  Not sure if there is any such thing as heat setting on wax paper but I think it made the ink fuse into the wax and settle down.  Don’t you just love an experiment?  Because I use wax paper with most of my dies now – I never throw out the cutout shapes and now I may be able to set my mind around a suitable use!  

For the card I used Spellbinders™ Grand Large Labels for my card base and layered a panel on top of that.  Then I created a border piece that I stamped with French Country.    To set it apart from my panel I framed the border with Spellbinders™ Frosty Forms.  I stamped and mounted my seed packet then cut a panel  to fit inside – it’s stamped with  the carnation and a sentiment from Vintage Seed Packet also.    I topped off the packet insert with Spellbinders™ Decorative Labels Eight as an easy way to grab the panel.   As always, pearls seem right at home with a bit of seam binding.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps:  Waltzingmouse Stamps –  Vintage Seed Packet, French Country
Paper: EK Success – Putty, Acorn, MME – Bloom
Ink: Amuse French Roast
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Grand Large Labels,   Spellbinders™ Frosty Forms,  Spellbinders™ Decorative Labels Eight, seam binding,  Recollections Pearls, Maya Roads Pearl Pin, Spare Parts Brad, Zva Creative Pearls

It’s almost therapy to get to play – thanks so much for letting me share.  See you soon!!

    Love your card! Great colors and bling! I use waxed paper on all my dies that have fancy cut-outs. It is so much easier removing the die from the paper or card stock. Before I discovered using waxed paper, I tore some of the cut outs trying to remove them. Now waxed paper is a staple on my craft table.ReplyCancel

    WHOA — you are truly AMAZING and it never ceases to amaze me the way your mind works?! I’ve tried some crazy things, but it honestly never would have occurred to me to even try to stamp (let alone heat set) anything on waxed paper — WOW!!! Can’t wait to try, but better get my to-do-list whittled down a bit first!!! Totally COOL — TFS, Becca!!!ReplyCancel

  • Dottie DavisOctober 10, 2012 - 5:09 pm

    Becca your brain is a stirring! And how we all love it! Wax paper cutouts are like frost in the air or like wisps of vapor…they are just so beautiful. I was wondering though did you use a dye or pigment ink on the wax paper. I suppose I should just get in there and get experimenting myself…such fun. How did you join the wax paper seams together? Score tape or glue dots on the backside? Just wonderin. All the elements on your card are beautiful and wonderful and I am so happy WaltzingMouse has their order back in! Whoo Hoo!ReplyCancel

  • Fran LOctober 10, 2012 - 5:30 pm

    I love your card and your idea for the wax paper pocket! It looks so delicate. It reminds me of glassine bags, but the supplies are right there in your own kitchen!
    I ordered the seed packet stamps and a couple of other items during the original release but Claire had to refund my payment due to the issue with the supplier. I’m looking forward to placing a new order right away!
    Also, I received my October Kit on Saturday and couldn’t more thrilled! I can’t wait to begin crafting with all the lovely stamps, dies, and papers.
    Thanks for sharing your lovely art!
    Hugs,
    NancyReplyCancel

    Love, love the card. I’m confused about using wax paper with the dies, could you please explain where and how you do that? I’m assuming it helps with removing the cardstock from the cutout. I am curious to the layering. Thanks MaryReplyCancel

    As always, this card is absolutely gorgeous, Becca! I love the tone on tone with the pop of peachy pink. And I’ll have to try stamping on waxed paper… never even considered it before now!ReplyCancel

    Wax paper – it’s right in front of my nose, but it takes Becca to figure it out. I love that you think out of the box in a beautiful and elegant way. You, Becca, fill this world with hope, beauty, compassion, strength, and faith. Blessings always.ReplyCancel
