Sweet Blog Friends! What happened is that I had a million projects in process got sidetracked. This was my week to get back on track so I have a tag to show you that I finished this week.  I love tags and don’t know why I don’t sit down with them more often!  They are smaller than a card and you can get away with breaking lots of rules – you can pretty  much do what you want to do. This is a new JustRite Papercrafts set that you’ll see more of next week and I couldn’t resist the urge to jump in with a little sneak peek to calm your heart that there are Christmas stamps coming. This set called Noel Christmas Ornaments matches all of your favorite Spellbinders Ornaments from your stash.  I’m using Spellbinders™ 2010 Heirloom Ornament and Spellbinders 2012 Heirloom Ornament.  I’ve paired them up with some sweet little roses from Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms and for my background one of the new templates – Spellbinders S5-152 Fancy Lattice (heart be still, I think this one tops my favorites list).

I cut and embossed Fancy Lattice and added it to my background then cut my rose ribbon trim diagonally to match the size of my tag.  Stamped, cut then embossed both ornaments and popped them up for dimension.  After distressing some Cameo Beige seam binding, glued a figure eight peg bow to the top of my tag.  Bitty Blossoms is one of my all time favorites, I cut and rolled the two smallest flowers, distressed them and added to the bottom of the tag with a couple of leaves.  Ok, I call all of that therapy :-)

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: JustRite Papercrafts – Noel Christmas Ornaments
Paper: K and Company, Neenah Classic Crest Natural White 80 lb
Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink – Chocolate Roan, Charcoal, Amuse – Cranberry, Vintage Photo Distress Ink, Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink, Victorian Velvet Distress Ink
Accessories: Spellbinders™ 2010 Heirloom Ornament, Spellbinders 2012 Heirloom Ornament, Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms, Spellbinders S5-152 Fancy Lattice, seam binding, Prima Lace, Pearl Pic, Recollections Pearls, Michaels Rose Ribbon

Busy times!  Thanks for stopping by, see you soon!!

    Therapy is the right word, Becca. The joy of creating is definitely therapy. Especially when you do it so well…! The paper crafting community itself is theraputic. What a wonderful collection of people always willing to share and be supportive. Could you ever have suspected that your collection of craft supplies gathering dust in a corner would bring you to where you are today? I know it means the world to me and how much more it must mean to you. God Bless…ReplyCancel

Greetings Blog Friends!!  What a busy day it has been.  You’ll find this hard to believe but I can count the number of masculine cards I’ve made in the last couple of years on two hands. I guess the planets have aligned because I’m back with another masculine card.  Yikes!  They are the tough ones because I can’t simply slather pearls and lace on them but for those of you who thanked me for the brief break from pink – this is for you!  Waltzingmouse Stamps welcomes a new release and this set is called My Island.  I love the sentiment You Bring Me Sunshine – it’s so very true!

The rays of sunshine are framed in Spellbinders™ Card Creator S5-136 A2 Fancy Weave.  I simply tucked it under my burlap ribbon and embellished the bottom with pearls.  To corral my ribbon I used Spellbinders™ S5-138 Octagon Strips and Accents and simply wove the loose ends of my bow up and down through the available openings.  I finished off with a masculine embellishment at the bottom – not a flower, but a piece from Spellbinders™ Ribbon Buckles.  That’s it short and sweet – this goes in the pile for when some occasion calls for a guy card!

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps:  Waltzingmouse Stamps – My Island (Available July 1)
Paper: K&Company, American Crafts, Recollections Kraft
Ink: Wild Honey Distress Ink, Memento Rich Cocoa
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Card Creator S5-136 A2 Fancy Weave (new), Spellbinders™ S5-138 Octagon Strips and Accents (new), Spellbinders™ Ribbon Buckles, Recollections Pearls, Satin Ribbon, Burlap Ribbon

(New Spellbinders die templates ship in August)

    A really beautiful card, that any male would be proud to recieve, that´s for sure, so why you don´t so more, is a riddle to me??? You could do loads of this kind and make them look just as gorgeous I´m sure.
    Have a wonderful week-end ahead.ReplyCancel

  • Cheryl WrightJune 30, 2012 - 2:52 am

    Becca, this is stunning. Totally agree with you re male cards. I use loads of bling too, so I find masculine cards extremely difficult!ReplyCancel

    Great card as always. I think everyone has a difficult time with cards for men.ReplyCancel

  • kathy/NorthCarolinaJune 30, 2012 - 6:08 am

    Becca, I really like this card,especially the burlap ribbon. Perfect for a guy. I can’t help but wonder what it would look like without the bow. I think, for a guy, it might work even better without it. Everything is so perfectly paired: paper, burlap, stamps, etc. You really are an artist!ReplyCancel

  • ANN ROBBINSJune 30, 2012 - 6:19 am

    The burlap sure makes the masculine feature. This can definitely be a problem thinking of things for a male card. My man is into old cars so I use stamps I have for him. His birthday is in July so I may use the burlap effect ~ think he would like that. Thanks for sharing and love 2 cards in one day. You hhave been busy, girlie. Bless you and your talented hands!

  • Charlotte ZweigoronJune 30, 2012 - 2:30 pm

    I have seen a lot of talk lately about the difficulty of man-cards. I agree, it is a stretch… but once I get into it, it opens a whole new door… and, I love to peek into new corners and see what I can do! Probably the hardest part is that men don’t tend to gush over our efforts the way our lady friends do… it goes with the territory, I suppose. I do notice that my husband keeps every single card I make for him and seems protective of them. That’s gotta be a good thing in a man’s world. My grandsons are most impressed and expressive when I make them a card with something they think is only part of their world, like Steam Punk or Grunge. Grandma does Steam Punk?! That’s impressive!!ReplyCancel

Greetings blog friends!  First of all let me tell you there are some winners to report here!! You’ll remember at the beginning of the month I was interviewed by an on-line papercrafting magazine called Scrap’n Art. They graciously extended free 30 day subscriptions to Amazing Paper Grace readers so they could get in and see the article as well as the breadth of valuable content they offer on a monthly basis.  Well, there was a promise of 10 free one year subscriptions and they’ve given me the names of the winners.   All the necessary changes have been made to extend subscriptions, the winners don’t need to do anything except enjoy.  The winners are:

-Irene Bazell
-Kathy Clement
-Joanne Garland
-Yvonne Gebauer
-Nan Gustafson
-Lorrayne Ingram
-Robyn Josephs
-Glenda Kerr
-Kelly Neis
-Lisa Sackett

I have a card to share today using a fabulous sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs called Bicycle.  Now I have to add, I don’t ever stamp a sentiment without using a Stampamajig and I even use it with clear stamps.  This sentiment as originally seen in the set is one long sentence.   The beauty of stamping makes it such that we can change these things if we want to; this is something I do all the time!  I needed a much more compact area because I wanted to fit into one of the new Spellbinders™  S4-367 Back to Basics Tags.  In looking for something different to do, I added Spellbinders™ Grand Labels Twenty Three behind my focal panel as a border.  I also picked a small flower die template that makes teeny tiny rolled roses from Spellbinders™ Whimsy.  ETA:  The bicycle is not a stamp but a motif on this fabulously masculine My Minds Eye paper that I picked up at Hobby Lobby.  The ODBD set does feature a bicycle also!! :-)

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps:  Our Daily Bread Designs, Bicycle
Paper:  My Minds Eye, Bazzill, Recollections Kraft
Ink: Amuse French Roast
Accessories: Spellbinders™  S4-367 Back to Basics Tags, Spellbinders™ Grand Labels Twenty Three, Spellbinders™ Whimsy, Satin Ribbon, Recollections Pearls, pearl brad

Thanks for stopping by and remember, something good is always on the way :-)

  • loftylassJune 29, 2012 - 5:35 am

    What a great card and sentiment! I’m just going to have to get my hands on that sentiment. I popped over to ODBD and checked out Bycycle. It will be perfect for a couple of folks near and dear to me. But it’s not just the stamp, it what you do with it and nobody does it like you!ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca!

    You must like to stay up late! Your e-mail came into my computer at 1:15 am this morning!

    I like the direction of your bow today – it’s nice to see different ways bows can be added since I get stuck doing the same thing over and over.

    I’d love to know the size of your cards each day; would that be possible? In my mind, you are the absolute BEST designer on the web! I can’t wait each day to see what you have created. Keep up the good work!

    With much admiration,
    RheaReplyCancel

  • Dottie DavisJune 29, 2012 - 7:49 am

    The card is gorgeous with the brown tones, the bike and the sentiments. The little bitty flowers are just perfect … any larger would distract from the beautiful paper and bike. I love the idea of using the “older” dies with the new.ReplyCancel

    I have heard of this “Stampamajig” but have never seen one or seen one in use… You have given me something to investigate! I am familiar with the stamp you used so I know what part of it is altered and I often want to do this with some of my stamps and banners. The banner curves but the words do not!!! Beautiful card, Becca!! I know your plate is so FULL but I am still looking forward to being able to purchase something from your Etsy Shop. Hope the time will come soon!!ReplyCancel

    Becca,
    Your card is so rich with color. I love it – the colors are awesome.

    You say the stamps are Bicycle from Our Daily Bread but the set I see has the bicycle leaning against a fence. Is there another bicycle that I missed?ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca, Another of your beautiful cards – just love how you have put it all together and how you stamped that perfect sentiment.

Many thanks – I always look forward to seeing what you produce.ReplyCancel
