Hello there blog friends!  Peeking in as I said I would, and I have a card that I made after I returned from CHA and it goes out to a sweet friend of mine.  I’ll warn you this one is layered to the hilt but that’s because I love layering ;-)  I did give in to whim with lots of pearls from my stash.  I started out with Spellbinders™ Venetian Motifs as my base (I cut it in half to make it large enough to peek out from behind Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty) then adorned with matching pearls from Want2Scrap Nestabling Labels Twenty Five).  Then I layered Spellbinders™ Floral Ovals, which I stamped with JustRite Papercrafts  Ever After Antique Labels.  The top layer that holds my sentiment is Spellbinders™ Fancy Framed Tags Two, embellished again with Want2Scrap Nestabling Fancy Tags Two pearls.  The sentiment from JustRite Papercrafts Just Because Vintage Labels fit perfectly!

I finished off with a silk bow and matching resin rose and a corsage pin embellished with a button.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps:  JustRite Papercrafts – Ever After Antique Labels, Just Because Vintage Labels
Paper: Prima Song Bird, The Paper Company Kraft, Neenah Classic Crest Natural White
Ink:  Memento Rich Cocoa
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Venetian Motifs, Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty,  Spellbinders™ Floral Ovals, Spellbinders™ Fancy Framed Tags Two, Want2Scrap, silk ribbon, Anna Griffin resin rose, Recollections pearls, Pearl Pic, button


I’ve been quite intrigued by Spellbinders™ Botanical Swirls.  It created a lovely backdrop for a white card.  I simply cut and popped everything up on foam tape to give some depth.  My sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs called Smooth Sailing, was stamped then cut using Spellbinders™ Back to Basics Tags.

Needing something different for the centerpiece of my seam binding bow, I used the tiny octagonal piece from Spellbinders Octagon Strips and Accents.  I love it that they went so small with this Cut-Fold-Tuck elements – makes it perfect for little embellishment areas like this. :-)

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Smooth Sailing
Paper: K & Company, Neenah Classic Crest Solar White
Ink: Amuse Fern
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Botanical Swirls, Spellbinders™ Back to Basics Tags, seam binding, flowers (Hobby Lobby), corsage pins (Hobby Lobby), Recollections Pearls

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

  • Charlotte ZweigoronJuly 30, 2012 - 2:34 pm

    I tell you, CHA must have recharged your creativity to the max!! I’m seeing little touches here and there that are so cool… I have come to realize that you must be using flowers from the floral or wedding department occasionally and I know that it takes a certain “eye” to pick the right ones. These today are lovely; so are the pins… simple but elegant. Everything here is a treat for the eyes!!ReplyCancel

  • Carol WJuly 30, 2012 - 2:57 pm

    These are both so lovely, the first one soft and warm, and the second one a little crisper, but elegant. Really like the Justrite stamp you used on the beige label, showing that it doesn’t have to be coloured in to make a striking impact.
    I have two questions about the Botanical card that perhaps might give you future blog post fodder (I hope!). What is the size of the card, particularly the blue botanical panel? Did you cut the die one time and then trim your border around (or cut the paper to size and centre the die on it to go through the machine?)? For the tag, is the die inked before cutting to create the two-colour result? It looks like the green is a whole separate layer, but perhaps it’s just really good inking you’ve done? Thank you!ReplyCancel

  • Karen M RothJuly 30, 2012 - 4:50 pm

    Oh, WOW!

    If I could make cards as lovely as you do….But I guess it really falls down to having all the right tools and supplies, which I do not, being on a fixed extremely limited income and having all my “spending” money sapped by all my different illnesses and my 15 different medications I take on a daily basis and may soon have to add more as the doctor thinks I may also have Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

    So just even seeing your beautiful cards is a treat within itself as my eyes are heavily affected. I have lost the vision in my left eye almost and I have lost all peripheral vision. So,please, keep them comin’!ReplyCancel

  • Eleanor JenkinsJuly 30, 2012 - 5:21 pm

    I love the botanical swirls but am wondering how many times you had to run it through your machine for it to cut in every space? I have the Grand Caliber and realize that cuts the designs much better but have had problems with another brand of dies cutting. I use PTI and SU cardstock. Love your blog although I don’t comment much! You have really made a name for yourself and I just love all of your projects!ReplyCancel

    Becca: When I open my e-mail and see that I have something from you, I can’t open it up fast enough to see what you have sent. These two cards are awesome. I love both of them. ALL of your cards and projects are so lovely. You are so talented. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and explaining how and what you use for your cards. It is greatly appreciated. I do have one question. Where do you buy the stick pins? I know you make your own, but where do you get the pin itself? I went on Becca Bits to see if I could find a video on how to make them, but I didn’t see a video or tutorial on how to make the stick pins. Your bows and pins really make the cards. You are an inspiration. Thank you!!!!

    The “Thanks a Million” card is stunning. Looks like a million!!!!!! The second card is also very elegant. But then, when isn’t one of your masterpieces???? Hope your trip is going well. I know you will miss your daughter a bunch. It’s a bummer when they spread their wings even thou that is what we train them to do. Fortunately for me, my daughter was able to enhance her career locally, get married, have children and still stay within a few miles from me. But, she is the only one that is local.
    Have a safe trip, and thanks for taking the time to share your cards with us.

    Becca, both cards are so so beautiful.. I adore them and think the colors are so gorgeous. Love the quotes on both cards especially “Thanks a Million” one card that we don’t make enough but should. Thank you for sharing both cards with me as I am so in love with each and every card you make. You never dissappoint me..

Sweet friends, my head is spinning!  5 states, 500 miles in a car, 15 apartments, 1 really bad hotel, 2 sleeps, 500 more miles in a car, repeat 4 states and I’m back home within 48 hours.  I don’t do that very often, but when I do, I remember it, lol.  So what happened is my daughter (the one who just graduated with second degree) is getting transferred with her job.  We set out to find her a place to live since she has to move within two weeks.   I’m so happy for her but so sad that she won’t be around the corner any more . . .  At any rate, we set out at midnight and drove all night – who does that?  I’ve learned that at my age, it’s not as easy as it used to be!!  Thankfully before leaving I had several cards done and uploaded so that they could easily be posted; a blessing for me because I’ll be a bit busy for the next week.  Today I’m sharing another card for the stash that tugs at my heart, it’s another of the new releases from Our Daily Bread Designs called Sharing Your Sorrow.  

I dug into my stash and pulled out some K and Company stickers – the magnolia’s are beautiful!  As I mentioned before I feel so guilty using them, like I’m cheating, but hold still — that feeling is sure waning because these don’t look like stickers at all to me :-)  For the decorative corners I used Spellbinders™ Asian Accents.  For the sentiment I used Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Eight and the decorative layer underneath is Spellbinders™ Decorative Labels Eight.  I just felt that something should be in the bottom right corner that I left open so I pulled in an element from some Want2Scrap bling!

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps:  Our Daily Bread Designs – Sharing Your Sorrow
Paper: K & Company, Bazzill, Neenah Classic Crest Natural White
Ink: Colorbox Prussian Blue
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Asian Accents, Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Eight,  Spellbinders™ Decorative Labels Eight, seam binding, Want2Scrap pearls, Recollection Pearls

Thanks for peeking in!  See you soon!

    As always, I love how you’ve pulled all the elements together. The blues you’ve chosen are serene, yet they pop (at least for me!) I also really like the elements in the corners between the layers. I think those dies will have to go on my (very) long wish list!ReplyCancel

We did the same thing last year when our daughter moved to Nashville except that she could not be with us & we drove all over Nashville TN looking for an apartment for her. We kept getting lost. Headed into a nasty storm but finally found a nice apartment for her.I don’t know how you found time to do & post the card. I was wiped out after our journey. Beautiful card, just love your work

    Wow, do I hear you, Becca!! It takes me two days to recuperate from anything over 6 hours sitting in the car. If I had to turn right back around and do it again, I’d be needing lots of extra rest when I got home!! Thank goodness for paper crafting. Not exactly a strenuous sport, right? And it can be so absorbing, you forget the aches and pains. I have got to do more of that Want2Scrap stuff… I love that little corner piece… I love the whole card! No surprises there… This is an unusual but gorgeous color combination, as well. Welcome home!!ReplyCancel

    This is a beautiful card but I always have mixed feelings about that verse. Heaven is the most beautiful place anyone can imagine and I always think how cruel it would be to drag someone back here to earth. I am sure the thought is meant well , but when I get there, I don’t want to come back here. Just saying……. God bless…… Denice : )ReplyCancel

Hi there sweet blog friends!!  I love making wedding cards so today I have a new one to add to the stash!  Keep in mind I’m still playing around with new Spellbinders Die Templates and I love making filigree kind of flowers so a new one.  I love the lacey look and you’ll be a little bit surprised what I used.  Of course I was tickled to use the new JustRite Papercrafts set released this month called Ever After Antique Labels – it has all your wedding/anniversary celebration cards covered.
 

Of the new dies, there is the sweetest little frame in Spellbinders™ Jewel Framed Sentiments – yep, this one is heading right up my favorites list.  I took the oval frame and cut it six times.  On the upper part of the frame there’s a hole that’s perfect for a brad so I stacked all six up, put in my brad then spread the ovals around like I was playing cards.   It was that easy!  Then I grabbed the new spiral flower Spellbinders™ Spiral Blossom Four and created a rose for the center then added corner pieces using Spellbinders™ Venetian Motifs.  I finished off with a tiny tag from Spellbinders™ Back to Basics Tags that was just the right size for my sentiment.  Ahhh, time to play – there’s nothing like it!

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: JustRite Papercrafts – Ever After Antique Labels
Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Natural White, Bazzill, Coredinations, Lasting Impressions Paper
Ink: Amuse French Roast
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Jewel Framed Sentiments, Spellbinders™ Spiral Blossom Four, Spellbinders™ Back to Basics Tags, Spellbinders™ Venetian Motifs, seam binding, lace, Want2Scrap Pearls, Recollections Pearls

Thanks for stopping in to spend a moment; I so appreciate you!!  See you soon!!

    This card is one of my favorites! Absolutely beautiful! I love making paper roses but I don’t have a die. I do it free hand by drawing and cutting out a spiral. Did I mention Amazing Paper Grace is my “go to” website when I need card ideas? I love your style. I appreciate you sharing your talents. God Bless You!ReplyCancel

    Grrrrrr! Just when I think there is a Spellbinders set that I convince myself I probably don’t need, you go and make something awesome from it!!! And now I have to have that oval so I can make that fabulous filagree flower. You are just a paper genius, Becca, I know I sound like a broken record, but I honestly think you could make a beautiful card from a rusty tin can. What a gift you are to the paper world.ReplyCancel

  • AlexandraJuly 26, 2012 - 1:26 am

    This is beautiful Becca, I was asked just the other day to make a wedding card. This is a wonderful idea. I love that you think outside of the box when you look at dies. Pushing them to a new and wonderfully creative place. I often wonder will I get much use from tiny wee dies, but this tiny die fits perfectly with this card & sentiment.ReplyCancel

    Dear Girl,
    Just don’t know how you do it! Another masterpiece. As said before, just when I think I can get by without a particular die, then you come out with something like this! AMAZING PAPER GRACE- YOUR WEBSITE NAME DEFINITELY FITS YOU!
    Could you sometime talk about the use of the seam binding for your ribbons. I look in Walmart for example and they are very limited in choice. Where do you buy yours?
    Thanks for sharing.

    Were your ears burning earlier…? I was chatting with a demonstrator here in the UK and mentioned an American papercrafting blog. She of course asked, ‘Amazing Paper Grace – Becca?’

    Gorgeous card. Francie is right that nobody in the world would think of using frames in this manner around the rose. It always surprises me when you explain how you put these cards together using assorted dies. I can sit there for hours and not come up with this stuff. Amazing is the right word. Let the creative juices flow cause we all love the results. Not having all the latest and greatest dies does put in motion a way to try and emulate “kind of” the same result…close. LOL. Thanks Becca.ReplyCancel

    Love that vintage look on the box and the card. The weaving technique looks like something I could actually do. Gonna have to put that Spellbinders Marvelous Squares dies in my collection and try your technique. Adding the sewing machine to the picture just gives the photo an added elegance. You are such an inspiration to us all. Thank you ever so much for caring enough to share your talents with us. God Bless, LindaReplyCancel

    One question – what is your strategy for getting all the bits of paper out of the detailed cuts without wrecking the whole die cut? I just bought the Moroccan motifs [ I think it is called] and tried it on my cuttlebug but it didn’t work very well. Thanks for your help.ReplyCancel
