Dear Blog friends, I had a chance to read all the comments from my blog post on Saturday morning. I’m simply overwhelmed by your words. One of the comments said I hope this is one of the days where you feel loved by all of your readers. One of the days? Just so you know, I feel that way everyday. But more than that, I feel the sweet generosity of spirit of all the readers who pass through leaving thoughts and tips for others.
I do have a card to share today, it features a new JustRitePapercrafts set called Thank You Labels 20. The set is designed to match Spellbinders™ Labels 20 and the center circles matches Spellbinders™ Standard Circles SM. In addition I used Spellbinders™ Marvelous Squares to frame it all in. I’m intrigued by the loops on the side of the frame, so naturally I’ve had a go at different weaving formations and this is one of a few I’ll be showing you. The colors here are a little bit darker than my normal palette, but a nice change of pace.
Sometimes I can’t bear to cut the tails on the ribbons too short. I know that will prompt people to ask what I do with them or how they can be sent that way. I just tuck them inside the card – way easier than trying to get them the correct length and honestly I like the long length.
Love your cards and always can’t wait to see your new creations. Just wish I could craft like you. This card is so elegant and opulent love the detail, flowers and bow, just gorgeous. By the way just curious what happens to all your wonderful makes. Have a wonderful day hugs Rizwana xxReplyCancel

Gorgeous card Becca, love the darker colors used. It’s a little old world yet shabby-chic at the same time if that makes sense. You have embellished just beautifully. Amazing work. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-DReplyCancel

Really beautiful….The weaving technique is quite amazing. But part of me hates to cover up the beautiful frame. I love the color palette!ReplyCancel

I really like the black. One of my fellow cardmakers is very creative and she uses a lot of black. every week when we get together, I take my impad and show them all your creations for the week. Love getting the second one so fast ~ guess Sunday’s rain put you in a creative mood. Know it did me. The stamps add so much! Love it!

WOW! Such a stunning card. . . from your paper, ribbon weaving, frames, sentiment, flowers, and your outsanding bows, this card is a masterpiece. You are such an inspiration both with your card making and your words of wisdom. I too would love to know what you do with all your beautiful cards you make.
From the bottom of my heart I want to say a huge “Thank You” for keeping your blog site updated, sharing such gorgeous cards and making me feel so inspired with your words of wisdom from your heart.
May you continue to be Blessed with the love of family, friends and creativity in your card creations.ReplyCancel
Well, you did get some beige and a shade of pink or rose in there! The black is a knockout! You must be in high hog-heaven when the new dies come out. Spellbinder’s products just keep getting better and more innovative. What wonderful toys for someone as creative and “out-of-the-box” thinking as you! What does it take to get you out of that craft barn when CHA is on the way? It is pure torture for me trying to figure out which ones I love the most and how much I can spend this time. Whacking those die templates is recommended by one of the other intricate die makers… they say it won’t damage them. I still try to be a bit judicious about how much and how hard I bang the die on the edge of my craft table. I haven’t tried the wax paper but that’s on my list of things to try. Blessings and Hugs, Becca.ReplyCancel
Becca you make my day!! First thing in the morning I opened your mail and I got the biggest lift! Just what I needed. I hope yu are lifted up by your fans!! You are terrific. Artist AND amazing Christian witness!! Thanks for all you do!ReplyCancel

It just makes my day to see what beautiful creation you have to share with us. Sharing your thoughts and talent is so inspiring.ReplyCancel
Just stunning! I always look at your creations, especially those with die cuts and wonder how your brain comes up with all the fascinating ways of using them?! I wish my brain would do that! But, I guess if we were all the same then life would be boring :)
The colouring of this card is also really beautiful. Your cards are always so decadent :)ReplyCancel
Oh, so delightfully beautiful, Becca! Blessings!ReplyCancel
BethEJune 25, 2012 - 9:14 am
Becca, you continue to amaze and inspire me! The colors are so far from your usual pastels but I would recognize it as a Becca card anywhere. You are such a delightful, warm, Christian woman. I would be proud to call you “friend” – actually, I think we all consider you a friend. I have already ” per-ordered” the wonderful Spellbinders “Marvelous Squares” and can’t wait to begin creating with these outstandingly intricate dies. Hugs and Blessings to a one of a kind, unique talent!ReplyCancel

When you want to make a big “splash” use black with tan etc. and you have it. I am absolutely in love with the colors on this card.

You are so creative and we are the beneficiaries of the time you spend on these lovely cards. Thank you.ReplyCancel

jo anne eggersJune 25, 2012 - 11:47 am
Hi–i love your work–each piece is something that should be framed! i have recently bought two Spellbinder’s dies that you use and i am having a terrible time getting the paper out of the die without ripping it. one is the Lace Doily Motifs and the other is the Splendid Circles. do you have any suggestions–paper thickness perhaps or just a LOT of patience.
STUNNING….like everything about your beautiful card…and your sharing spirit…
Blessings and Paper Hugs,

I have already pre-ordered the Marvelous Squares die. When I first saw the side slits, I too, immediately thought of ribbon weaving and wondered if that would work. Now I know it will !!! Your treatment on this card is magnificent. You say you will be showing a few examples of this technique, and I can hardly wait to see them. Your work is so inspirational to all of us. I have learned a lot from you. Thanks so much!ReplyCancel
Beautiful card Becca, and I love those richer colours too. These new frames look amazing too, yet another for my wish list. I’m glad your blog cheers you up, it certainly puts a smile on your blog readers faces (I suppose I can only speak for myself, but I’m sure others would agree).
thanks for all the lovely ideas and inspiration you give us, for using your dies in ways that stretch the imagination.ReplyCancel
Am I going to get an answer (recipe) to how to make those gorgeous snowflake-like paper embellishment you made with Spellbinders new Squares–or should I just forget about ever making them?ReplyCancel
MegJune 25, 2012 - 2:01 pm
Becca, I read your post about losing a friend suddenly. Am so sorry for that as it must have been such a surprise and shock. May you be comforted with the memories that you shared with her. Hopefully you will see her in heaven. I try to look at your blog regularly but don’t post much. You are appreciated very much and I’m grateful for your beautiful creations. Since I don’t have a die cut machine I don’t have any dies to create them in my own version, but do enjoy looking.
Keep up the good work for us to view and thanks again.ReplyCancel

These colors are stunning together!! I love the “criss-cross” effect of ribbon. It reminds me of vintage parlor look back in the day. My mother, always had a parlor in their house, and it was in these colors. She was from Rhode Island, so she pronounced it “paw-la” Thank you for letting us peek into your life and trusting us to share your feelings and your talent. We are honored.

Hope you’re feeling better today. I am thankful for every morning that I open my eyes and I am still here. The older I get (60+), the more I try to fit as many joyful things in my day as possible.
I lost my husband to a heart attack when I was 26. Many years ago, but I have never forgotten the lesson that I learned. Love every minute and every day to it’s fullest.
With that thought in mind, my daughter and I leave tomorrow to spend a month with my dear daughter in Tn and my 5(soon to be 6)grandchildren. I live in central Florida and get to see them once a year. This will be my first time to spend a whole month with them. My husband works at Disney(35 years) and cannot take that much time off. I feel a little guilty leaving him and my home behind, but feel the need to spend quality time with my daughter and grandchildren. In a few years, she might be able to manage a trip down to visit. Until then, I will make the yearly trip to see them.
My largest regret is that I will not be able to see your blog every morning. My computer and cards will have to sit for a month.
Have a wonderful July, Becca.
You are such an inspiration.
Love CherylReplyCancel

Just can’t wait to get my hands on the Marvellous Squares – you make such beautiful cards Becca.
On a more serious note – is there a possibility of your Bow Maker coming to a retailer in England at all? If I buy from America I am charged tax by our Customs which takes it way up in price.

Thanks, Becca, for another gorgeous card. Would you consider doing a Becca bit on how you kept all the pieces together while weaving those ribbons. I can see how you did it. But I’m sure I’d be all thumbs at getting the ribbons taped down smoothly on the back without getting the front off kilter. Any tips?ReplyCancel

Sweet blog friends, thanks for your kind words yesterday. Really, I’m okay, it’s just something I wanted to share. I hope I didn’t sound condescending because make no mistake, I have been guilty of needing to be pruned from the garden in some cases. I try my hardest though! Now, with that said, I’m peeking in because I had a chance to create some things yesterday and I’ll even have a post again tomorrow! Now that the new Spellbinders are making their way out, I can use them to show you how they lay on your everyday cards. I have a little secret for you – you are going to love the lattice I used today – I know I do. Here’s what I did – I laid down my die template face up, then a piece of wax paper, then my paper. It.cut.like.butter!! I have my old Wizard sitting off on the right hand part of my work area and I took my template (face up) that is now filled with little tiny square scraps of paper and quickly rapped it on the metal bar – like the quick snap you’d give when hitting bug with a fly swatter. (I know that seems an odd way to describe, but that’s the only thing I could equate). That makes all the pieces come out at once and I can sweep them up later. I’ve gotten very good at this little maneuver out of necessity – I am always drawn to the more intricate die templates and now I’m able to move through my cutting tasks quickly. Now I’m not saying you need to do this – I mean, you could risk damaging your template – but I’m happy to share how I unseat all the confetti. (Lol, lots of you already know this little trick ;-) For my card today I’m using a sweet set from Our Daily Bread Designscalled Thank You – ah, the wisdom of Proverbs! I took a marker and outlined the inside of it to get the drawn pink frame, then I covered my die template with ink and reseated my diecut for another run through the machine for the brown border. I layered my sentiment on the new Spellbinders™ Scalloped Labels One (New). As I mentioned before, I used Spellbinders™ Basic Lattice (New) as a backdrop layer for the card.
SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Thank You Paper: Neenah Classic Crest – Natural White – 80lb, Bazzill, Die Cuts With a View – Garden Tea Party Ink: Amuse – French Roast Accessories: Spellbinders™ Labels Sixteen, Spellbinders™ Scalloped Labels One (New), Spellbinders™ Basic Lattice (New), Seam Binding, Bazzill Button, Leaf Pins – Joanns, Ribbon, Recollections Bling, Darice Pearl
Another rainy day here, but another full of calls from sweet friends and a shining “son” – blessings too many to count. Thanks for stopping by, see you soon!!
Becca, I too love that lattice die. I am sure that it will be one of the 1st ones I get. I love the way you describe how to remove the little pieces. I do it the same way and it works great. Your card is beautiful and I am looking forward to seeing all your wonderful designs using all the new dies.ReplyCancel
Kathy SJune 24, 2012 - 8:19 pm

Wonderful card. The lattice die really creates a beautiful background. Thanks for the wax paper tip as well as the “whack” tip. I’ve already got the fly swatter move down pat, at least when it comes to flies; so I think I should pick up the technique of paper removal in record time. Thanks for being a bright part of my day!ReplyCancel

Barbara jayJune 24, 2012 - 8:51 pm
I thought your reflections yesterday were exactly correct. We never know how many days we will be given and life is too short to spend time unwisely with people or activities that are not rewarding or the best use of of our time .
Your card is fabulous as always! The lattice die is defiantly on my wish list . I am very happy Spellbinders will have a lattice die, because the lattice dies from other companies do not emboss it . For me the embossing makes die cuts look more finished
Thanks again for a wonderful siteReplyCancel
Marzee CarnesJune 24, 2012 - 9:11 pm
Beautiful as always, Becca! I wish I had the talent you have to look at these dies and see the beauty inside! I would never think of using some of them the ways you do. I might be guilty of doing so. though. after seeing what you do with them…LOl.. I just LOVE your cards!ReplyCancel

Pat BJune 24, 2012 - 9:29 pm
A while ago I watched a video by one of the die demonstrators & they suggested rubbing the dies with wax paper thoroughly before using. After you run the die through your machine you can drop it back side down & many of the pieces will come out. Some of the tiny pieces are more stubborn. The slight bit of wax that goes into the crevices really does help. I have also “whacked” some of the tougher ones. Occasionally I still have to pick out some tiny ones. Try a thorough rub with the wax paper. It usually does the trick.
New lattice looks very interesting. Have recently received the 2 sets of lattice that came out previously. They are wonderful also.
Anxious to see what you create with the new dies that will be coming. Love your creativity. I learn a lot about experimenting & most of all layering.
Vorgeous card as usual! Love the Lattice and the Scalloped Labels 1(newbies)! These will be coming to my house as soon as I can get them! Have a blessed week.ReplyCancel

My jaw dropped when I saw that lattice die… I have been wishing and hoping for a die like this for a LONG, LONG time! Yes, there are some out there… but they weren’t the small lattice like this one. This one is my dream come true. I could go on and on about the new dies but I think I better take a moment and tell you that your card is delightful! I love that little drawn border inside the die cut.ReplyCancel

Love that lattice die! I can see so many fun ways to use it! And you have made an absolutely stunning backdrop for your artwork with it. Love the touches of distressing…very, very beautiful.ReplyCancel

Becca,
Hope you will be safe up there with Debby nearby. It does make for good creating weather though. LOL
This is just an awesome (my fav word in describing your work), love the lattice. I have not tried the wax paper but will do it next time I am cutting as just like everyone else experience the little pieces that have to be picked out – ugh! When will the dies be available as I noticed you do not have them highlighted so you can go to the Spellbinder website. I will need to add the lattice one right away!
THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR DEVOTION AND DEDICATION TO ALL OF OUR “SPORT~”.

Becca, Just love this background so many things to do with it, you make everything you do look “beyound words” and I so enjoy opening your emails before any other one.
Just last year I too decided with a heavy heart that I was only going to make cards for the people that “truly Loved them” I spend so much time “doing for others” and making sure everyone gets a card for their birthdays and what knots but I do not get any in return I truly mean any other than my kids and husband and I must send out at least 50 just to family alone, I felt a saddnes that I didn’t want to make them so I started making them fo r church and others I couldnt just stop because that made me sad. We all need to clean our “gardens” once in awhile .
You are such a blessing to all of us.ReplyCancel
I hope your making the necessarily precaution with Debby ….please keep yourself safe…
I love your card…..and I want this die….it’s amazing…how you can think outside the box with these dies….truly inspirational….love….love…it…thank you also for the tip….will have to tried that….ReplyCancel

What a lovely card! A beautiful marriage between Spellbinders and ODBD in your hands to add a dose of the Becca magic and make it come alive. Beautiful.ReplyCancel
SO LOVELY & SUMMERY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DOOO like that lattice die!!!!!!!! :) Thanks Becca!
I didn’t get to comment on Sat. For some reason, the little “comment” thingy wasn’t there & I thought you were just putting it out there…no comments! So, here is my comment for that day! :)
I KNOW EXACTLY what you mean about “prunning”!!!!!!!!!! We had to do this about 6 years ago now! The MAJORITY of the people didn’t like it & STILL DON’T! But, when someone(s) DRAG you down….try to DESTROY….just make you FEEL AWFUL…CONTROL YOU,…..ETC., IT’S TIME!!!!!!!!!!! Life is HARD ENOUGH that you don’t need that added grief!!!!!!!! People NEED TO LEARN to stay within their bounds, keep their noses to themselves, worry about themselves & their issues & stop trying to control others! What you said DOESN’T sound condescending AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO NEEDS THE DRAMA???? Not me & I dare say many others don’t want it either! Life is BEAUTIFUL WITHOUT all the drama!!!!!!!!! It’s PEACEFUL!!!!!!!!! Enjoy your new found peace Becca! (Believe me, those people will STILL try to spoil it! ) HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!! :)ReplyCancel

janeyJune 25, 2012 - 8:18 am
Thanks for the tip with the wax paper and the wack!—-I will give it a try. I had to read your desciption about how you used ink on the die to get the brown edge on the whilte Labels 16 – and then read it several more times just to make sure I could picture it all in my head…I think I’ve got it. I am sure it’s all so clear for you and I always appreciate that you try to explain your techniques to us, so even though it may take us awhile to grasp how you did something, please don’t stop those explanations. I love this card and the colors and I’m ready for the release of all the new Spellbinders dies! Thanks, BeccaReplyCancel

Hi Becca, I’m wondering about the embellishment with the leaves on it, is that a piece of ribbon, or a punch? It is so pretty. I enjoyed showing your cards off to some friends I had over for some card making. They were properly impressed!ReplyCancel
Jackie PiertJune 26, 2012 - 12:35 am
OK love the lattice…but is that ribbon at the bottom???? LOL who cares what it is..just share what it is LOL love the look and color!
Sweet Blog Friends, if you were mildly curious why I have been MIA, then I have an admission to make. My table has been covered with new products and it’s frankly like being a kid in the candy store. Wrist deep in some tantalizing new Spellbinders is every crafters dream so I thought I would show you one that is going to be at the top of my “go-to” list as well as a project or two to show you why I fell in love with it right away.
The new die template I’m using is Spellbinders Marvelous Squares. It’s a mix and match die template that offers a near infinite possibilities in layers as well as an infinite possibilities of detail within those layers. On this project I’m using a piece that has decorative edges and I’ve folded them into a star arrangement for a package embellishment, an ornament collar, and a stand alone ornament. For the gold gift box I’m using the star as an embellishment piece.
The ornament collar below is folded from a thin vellum paper and edged with a gold pen. For the stand alone ornament below you can see the detail from the die template on the tips of the star points. That simply made my heart sing!! ETA: Many have emailed me to ask, so I’ve done some poking around understand these die templates are scheduled to ship in mid-August!
SUPPLIES LIST
Die Cutting Machine: Spellbinders™ Grand Calibur® machine Dies: S4-483 Spellbinders Marvelous Squares – MSRP $24.99 Cross Promotional Partners: Scor-Pal – ScoreTapePaper: The Paper Studio Ink: None Accessories: Recollections Pearls, Krylon Gold Pen, Buttons, Joann’s Tulle, Ribbon
But let’s look at this die template in greater detail. Here I’ve created a layered, interlocking gatefold card in a jacket that’s 6″ x 6″. Because of all the possibilities with the layers and details on the layers, I used one die template set to complete the whole card!! Cutouts and layers create the illusion of intricacy but one peek at the YouTube Video Tutorial I’ve created will blow away all the smoke and mirrors I used to make the card and I hope you’ll give it a try! Here’s the card tucked away safe in a decorative jacket.
Here is the card outside of the jacket.
Then you can see how the card layers match up with the gatefold sides to open below.
And finally the inside.
I have a YouTube Video here to show you how! (available in HD)

Only then can I get into the mood to create a card for someone special to me. Many Thanks !!ReplyCancel

Tea Bag folding made easy – I LOVE it Becca! Absolutely beautiful artistry with the templates only Spellbinders could make. I love Tea Bag folding but it can be a challenge, these are gorgeous.
The gatefold card is not something I would have thought of but what a creative use. Marvelous Squares – hitting the top of my list and this is the first of the new releases that I’ve seen! Of course every material you picked looks outstanding together and I love the jacket to protect your masterpiece. So many thanks for the inspirational sneek peek!

OMG. Beautiful work. These dies are amazing!!…I want a Spellbinders Grand Calibur Machine so so much to get these dies. The Grand Calibur Machine is one of the best tools out there to have as a scrapper. Spellbinders Dies are top notch and give so much versatility to create a variety of projects. There is nothing else out there like them. I have said this so many times before in comments, and I repeat myself again because I so love Spellbinders…. everything. This is so exciting and I am looking forward to each sneek peeks.ReplyCancel

Since discovering your site this spring you have inspired me to do things
I wouldn’t have dreamed I could do. I’m an (older) retired crafter and I
have enjoyed conquering your ideas even though they took me a while
to do. Thanks for sharing, I’m also new to the computer (at 80) they
told me I couldn’t do it, but I keep plugging away. Thanks again for
sharing your talents. God blessReplyCancel
I wanted to comment on your very last post but was unable to so am making that comment on this post. Your post, as they often do, really spoke to me. I lost my best girlfriend suddenly in March. We spoke daily on the phone, sometimes more than once. I cannot tell you how much I miss our phone conversations, especially when I am frustrated about something. She was really there for me, especially after I lost my husband, checking on me almost daily to make sure I was ok, even after five years that he’d been gone. You really don’t know what someone means to you until they are gone from your life. She never judged me but always spoke her opinion. She was always happy to see you and you were never an imposition. She was just a truly wonderful person, very religious minded, so I know she is in good hands.ReplyCancel

Hi, Becca! I know the contest part of this has already ended but I had to stop and tell you how beautiful your work is and your photos are brilliant as well.

These are so beautiful and intricate; can’t wait to create some lovelies with these!ReplyCancel
Is there a step–by-step as to HOW to fold the new squares into snowflake-like ornaments? Or does the village idiot (me) have to wing it to figure it out after shelling out too-much money for the dies and then not know how to use them properly. Loved the gate fold card but I have my planning in the works for Christmas and some paper ornaments and cards as that is all we will be able to afford this year. The hospital that saved my life from the dreaded cancer that they told me would take my life has now turned into the evil Witch of the West and will not allow me to pay off my last hospital stay ($1,156. that the insurance doesn’t intend to cover). So this will be an extra-lean Christmas, even if we can squeeze out the $24.95 plus tax and shipping to get the die needed to make something hand-made for Christmas!
So please, a video as to how to make the snowflake-like things?ReplyCancel
Thanks so very much for an awesome tutorial here again Becca. Your card here are fabulous and I´m totally stunned withthe beauty in it. You are amazing girl, and I just so love your work.ReplyCancel

Well, almost. I did not read all 400+ comments but I am sure some others have asked for it so I am adding my name to the petition. Please, please, and ‘origami’ tutorial for the more challenged among us.
As always, truly inspiring creativity. Love ya!ReplyCancel

Gorgeous card Becca, love the darker colors used. It’s a little old world yet shabby-chic at the same time if that makes sense. You have embellished just beautifully. Amazing work. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
Really beautiful….The weaving technique is quite amazing. But part of me hates to cover up the beautiful frame. I love the color palette!
This is such a gorgeous creation! I love the color combination. I love coming here just to see what beautiful things are there to brighten my day. Thank you so much, always, for your inspiration. I’m very grateful for everything you share.
I really like the black. One of my fellow cardmakers is very creative and she uses a lot of black. every week when we get together, I take my impad and show them all your creations for the week. Love getting the second one so fast ~ guess Sunday’s rain put you in a creative mood. Know it did me. The stamps add so much! Love it!

Oh my! I’m quite sure I always start my coments this way, all of your cards are so beautiful! This background paper is just gorgeous and no one ties a more interesting bow than you Becca! Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful card! Of course it comes from a beautiful heart!
Oh my! Another magnificent masterpiece! Your ribbon weaving and bow are even more spectacular than usual – if that is possible. I love your blog and have learned so much from you. Thank you.
Wow, what an amazing card, stunning! Love the woven ribbon in the background, a real eye-catcher, it made me go wow the moments I saw it.
I love all your cards. They are so intricate and beautiful. I would love to take a class from you and find out how you put the different backgrounds and dies together. You are amazing.
Love your color combo, it is stunning , Glad to hear what you do with your bows, I made one the other day felt like I had to cut it to fit in the mail.
Have a Wonderful Day ,
Ilove going on your site your cards have given me so much inspiration,although I am from across the water in England I don’t miss a day to look at your fantastic cards.
What a wonderful way to start the day with beautiful cards and beautiful hearts. Today is one of those days that I would like to hit a “like” button for so many of the other comments. I, too, would be curious about what happens to your beautiful creations after you make them.
P.S. Your cards are almost beyond description. BUT you kick that up another notch (sorry Emerrill . . .) by your photography-card awesome and such immaculate (I’m running out of words . . .) backgrounds used in the photo.
Absolutely stunning creations here again Becca. You are simply amazing and your work is just soooo stunning always. Thanks so much for all the awesome inspiration, you always share inhere. I´m really astonished by all the beauty always. And this is definitely one of those, I´ll keep in mind for a very long time. I love it.
I swear you never cease to amaze your my newspaper haha. Every morning faithfully I pull you up to see what is happening with you and what beautiful creation you have ins tore for us. My mother is from the Philipines nice to see crafts branching out from all over the world.
SOOOOOOOOO VERY BEAUTIFUL Becca!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!! :) The darker palette is WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Thanks for showing us! :)
What a stunning card! I just love all of the colors. You certainly have a gift, and are a gift to all of us in the card making community!
OH MY! What a gorgeous card. Thanks for sharing your God given talent with your readers.
You are amazing! Have a great day.
Gorgeous card Becca and you are so very creative; especially when it ocmes to ribbon.
May you have a great day and a better day tomorrow

I like so much this new square frame and the dark colors. Those 2 elements are taking all my attention.
Merci
Francine
WOW! Such a stunning card. . . from your paper, ribbon weaving, frames, sentiment, flowers, and your outsanding bows, this card is a masterpiece. You are such an inspiration both with your card making and your words of wisdom. I too would love to know what you do with all your beautiful cards you make.
From the bottom of my heart I want to say a huge “Thank You” for keeping your blog site updated, sharing such gorgeous cards and making me feel so inspired with your words of wisdom from your heart.
May you continue to be Blessed with the love of family, friends and creativity in your card creations.
Becca, this is simply beautiful.
Becca: Where did the die cut of the sewing machine come from? It’s so pretty!
Mary
I really love all your cards. You are so talented. This one is gorgeous and I love how you did the ribbon behind, too.
Very beautiful and all the extra ribbon. Can’t figure out how you did that. Anyone would love receiving such a card. Know I would. Edna
Becca, you do not make cards. You create art. What a God given talent you have!
Well, you did get some beige and a shade of pink or rose in there! The black is a knockout! You must be in high hog-heaven when the new dies come out. Spellbinder’s products just keep getting better and more innovative. What wonderful toys for someone as creative and “out-of-the-box” thinking as you! What does it take to get you out of that craft barn when CHA is on the way? It is pure torture for me trying to figure out which ones I love the most and how much I can spend this time. Whacking those die templates is recommended by one of the other intricate die makers… they say it won’t damage them. I still try to be a bit judicious about how much and how hard I bang the die on the edge of my craft table. I haven’t tried the wax paper but that’s on my list of things to try. Blessings and Hugs, Becca.
awesome! love the color combination.
Becca you make my day!! First thing in the morning I opened your mail and I got the biggest lift! Just what I needed. I hope yu are lifted up by your fans!! You are terrific. Artist AND amazing Christian witness!! Thanks for all you do!
Gorgeous card! I love the color palette you used and your style of elegance in all your designs. And thank you for consistently sharing the moments. It’s what brings the realism into an otherwise digital world.
Becca,
It just makes my day to see what beautiful creation you have to share with us. Sharing your thoughts and talent is so inspiring.
Becca, this is absolutely stunning! What a wonderful card for anyone to receive. And I loooove the long ribbons!
Just stunning! I always look at your creations, especially those with die cuts and wonder how your brain comes up with all the fascinating ways of using them?! I wish my brain would do that! But, I guess if we were all the same then life would be boring :)
The colouring of this card is also really beautiful. Your cards are always so decadent :)
Amazing dies and your card is so elegant. Thanks for sharing
Oh, so delightfully beautiful, Becca! Blessings!
Becca, you continue to amaze and inspire me! The colors are so far from your usual pastels but I would recognize it as a Becca card anywhere. You are such a delightful, warm, Christian woman. I would be proud to call you “friend” – actually, I think we all consider you a friend. I have already ” per-ordered” the wonderful Spellbinders “Marvelous Squares” and can’t wait to begin creating with these outstandingly intricate dies. Hugs and Blessings to a one of a kind, unique talent!
wow Becca, this is stunning. Love how you did the ribbon and the colors are gorgeous. Your photos of your cards are awesome too, do you actually own the stuff behind the cards you photograph?
Gorgeous!!
Absolutely GORGEOUS! I love the vintage look of this dusty rose ribbon on the darker background!
Becca: This card is so gorgeous. I love, love, love the colors. ALL your cards are so beautiful. Also, thank you for the videos you share with us. I always look forward to my e-mails from you. I can hardly wait to get the marvelous squares. I do have a question. Will we be able to use the marvelous squares in our Cuttlebug, or will I have to get a Grand Calibur?
Thanks for sharing you talents. You are an inspiration.
LOVE the ribbon weaving! And I love the long ribbon tails, too!
What a pretty card. Love the colors on this card and the ribbon weaving looks so nice on this card.
Is there any card that you do that is not GORGEOUS? It seems as I look at all your cards they are all just so breath-taking! You are a very talented artist, hun! God gifted you well :o)
Keep them rolling in!
Beautiful, as usual. I love your creative brain that “sees” so many alternative uses for dies, stamps, etc. It helps my elderly feeble one think slightly more outside the box!
Gorgeous creation and I love the Colors. Looking forward to more of your weaving techniques. Thanks for the inspiration you give everyday..
What endear you to me are not only your wonderful creations but your KIND AND GENEROUS HEART as reflected in the loving thoughts you leave us each time. Take care Becca. Love you dearly.
When you want to make a big “splash” use black with tan etc. and you have it. I am absolutely in love with the colors on this card. I fall for the black every time but do not use it often myself either. It is for very special occasions it seems. You are so creative and we are the beneficiaries of the time you spend on these lovely cards. Thank you.
Gorgeous card with rich deep colors. Regal colors. makes one think of times gone by and the richness of fabric, lace,ribbon and flowers. Just love it. Anxious to see how you did the weaving. …..have a good day…..hugs and smiles….thank you for you inspiration.
Hi–i love your work–each piece is something that should be framed! i have recently bought two Spellbinder’s dies that you use and i am having a terrible time getting the paper out of the die without ripping it. one is the Lace Doily Motifs and the other is the Splendid Circles. do you have any suggestions–paper thickness perhaps or just a LOT of patience.
thanks so much, Jo Anne
A work of art and a labor of love! Wow!
I just knew you’d do something interesting with those Marvelous Squares, you never disappoint. FABULOUS!!!
Blessings Bernie
STUNNING….like everything about your beautiful card…and your sharing spirit…
Blessings and Paper Hugs,
Jan
I have already pre-ordered the Marvelous Squares die. When I first saw the side slits, I too, immediately thought of ribbon weaving and wondered if that would work. Now I know it will !!! Your treatment on this card is magnificent. You say you will be showing a few examples of this technique, and I can hardly wait to see them. Your work is so inspirational to all of us. I have learned a lot from you. Thanks so much!
Beautiful card Becca, and I love those richer colours too. These new frames look amazing too, yet another for my wish list. I’m glad your blog cheers you up, it certainly puts a smile on your blog readers faces (I suppose I can only speak for myself, but I’m sure others would agree).
thanks for all the lovely ideas and inspiration you give us, for using your dies in ways that stretch the imagination.
Absolutely Love it!
Blessings!
Love the ribbon art you did and of course, thos SB Marvelous Squares, I’ve got to have that one!!! Very gorgeous as usual, Becca!!!!
Am I going to get an answer (recipe) to how to make those gorgeous snowflake-like paper embellishment you made with Spellbinders new Squares–or should I just forget about ever making them?
Becca, I read your post about losing a friend suddenly. Am so sorry for that as it must have been such a surprise and shock. May you be comforted with the memories that you shared with her. Hopefully you will see her in heaven. I try to look at your blog regularly but don’t post much. You are appreciated very much and I’m grateful for your beautiful creations. Since I don’t have a die cut machine I don’t have any dies to create them in my own version, but do enjoy looking.
Keep up the good work for us to view and thanks again.
Very lush. good job
WOW —Soo love the darker colors today. I’m hoping to place a
order for all the tips you’ve included for us…THANK YOU , thanks again!
Love this card!
Love the pairing of the rose colors with the darker! Thanks for that inspiration! You bring inspiration each day…in design, color, and most of all humanity and love of God.
Wow! What a beautiful pairing of colors! You always amaze me with your creativity and design. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with the world.
Another amazing card! This is just beautiful, Becca!
This card just beautiful ,darker colours is so appealing ,can’t wait to next one !!
Really love those ribbon’s you use am useless with ribbon’s
Such a great talent you have Becca!
Lovely, such neat criss-crossing of the ribbon, I can’t wait to get that square die :)
These colors are stunning together!! I love the “criss-cross” effect of ribbon. It reminds me of vintage parlor look back in the day. My mother, always had a parlor in their house, and it was in these colors. She was from Rhode Island, so she pronounced it “paw-la” Thank you for letting us peek into your life and trusting us to share your feelings and your talent. We are honored.
Cindy
This is just gorgeous and I love the way you have folded the ribbons on the side into the Marvelous Square die.
What a beauty! I love the ribbon weaving and the color combo is so “dramatically” elegant.. I know sometimes you say it seems to take you forever to choose your designer paper, but you always make a fantastic choice.
PJ
Everything about this card is beautiful beyond words! Only you could have thought to do the wonderful ribbon weaving which made the card go from wonderful to totally amazing!
So beautiful! I love the long tails, too!
Dear Becca,
Thank-you SO much for sharing your talents and your life with us.
Yours is the 1st blog I look for every day. Blessings
Gorgeous card Becca!! Love the colors and how you pulled it all together. Great job!! Gloria
Beautiful card. I love the way you wrapped the ribbon.
love, love, love it!!!! The “woven” ribbon, the long tails, color combo, just elegantly gorgeous! Glad to know that the love & respect comes through in the comments.
Hugs,

What a beautiful card Becca! You are so good to your readers and I so appreciate all of the time you take to share your amazing talents with us. Looking forward to more of your weaving!

Have great one!
Jackie
Oh and silly me finally figured out that if you run your mouse over the calender…LOL it shows what posting was on that day..and if you click it..LOL guess what..it takes you to it roflmaooo I so amuse myself sometimes!
Jackie
Becca, it is lovely color, and the tails are tails, let them be as long as you like it, it is you, it is yours, it is totally your way.
Becca
I love the darker palette and I loved the ribbon work. It really makes it sing.
Everything is perfect as usual but I do love the rich colors.
Love all your works but some speak more to me than others.
take care Becca and GB

Thank YOU Becca…..Love your card – I use black quite often in my cardmaking and teamed with pink and cream it is delightful. The ribbon weaving is stunning. I’m so looking forward to these new dies becoming available. tfs.

Stunning!!! I love these colors also….they are so elegant….can’t wait for these dies to hit the market….tfs
Becca I love this card! I love the colors, i love everything about it. You do some awesome work!
Hugs,

Hope you’re feeling better today. I am thankful for every morning that I open my eyes and I am still here. The older I get (60+), the more I try to fit as many joyful things in my day as possible.
I lost my husband to a heart attack when I was 26. Many years ago, but I have never forgotten the lesson that I learned. Love every minute and every day to it’s fullest.
With that thought in mind, my daughter and I leave tomorrow to spend a month with my dear daughter in Tn and my 5(soon to be 6)grandchildren. I live in central Florida and get to see them once a year. This will be my first time to spend a whole month with them. My husband works at Disney(35 years) and cannot take that much time off. I feel a little guilty leaving him and my home behind, but feel the need to spend quality time with my daughter and grandchildren. In a few years, she might be able to manage a trip down to visit. Until then, I will make the yearly trip to see them.
My largest regret is that I will not be able to see your blog every morning. My computer and cards will have to sit for a month.
Have a wonderful July, Becca.
You are such an inspiration.
Love Cheryl
Just love these new majestic squares. Your card is so lovely. Love all the elements of this card from the gorgeous prima paper to the beautiful ribbon usage and of course this new die set, which is a stunner.
Marcie
I ab-so-lute-ly LOVE these colors. There is a nod to vintage and a bit girly. I so enjoy seeing the works of art that you share with us.
All your cards are works of art. Surely a delight to those who are lucky enough to receive them.
Beautiful cards. I am anxious to try some of these ideas. Do you have to pa extra postage? Most times I don’t mind but at Christmas it would be very expensive.
Just can’t wait to get my hands on the Marvellous Squares – you make such beautiful cards Becca.
On a more serious note – is there a possibility of your Bow Maker coming to a retailer in England at all? If I buy from America I am charged tax by our Customs which takes it way up in price.
Best wishes
June
A FRIEND JUST TOLD ME ABOUT YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL WORK.IM JUST GETTING STARTED INTO MAKING CARDS , YOUR A BIG INSPRIATION TO ME .YOUR CARDS ARE UNBELIEVEABLE.THANKS FOR SHARING. GLENDA S NEWMAN
Thanks, Becca, for another gorgeous card. Would you consider doing a Becca bit on how you kept all the pieces together while weaving those ribbons. I can see how you did it. But I’m sure I’d be all thumbs at getting the ribbons taped down smoothly on the back without getting the front off kilter. Any tips?
Becca, thank you for your inspirational cards once again. I can’t wait to do some next week, which is our school vacation winter break time. I am looking forward to surrounding myself with craft materials, and not watching the clock!
GORGEOUS!!! Love the weave and the way the ribbon trails off the card.
Such a beautiful gorgeous card..I love the darker deeper coloring, it is so beautiful and makes the card so stunning and sharper.. A stunning card for a Thank You card… love the flowers and the ribbon combo…
Hugs, Jean
