Oh blog friends, I had not intended to be gone for so long but I’ve been so busy behind the scenes.  Today I have a Becca Bit for you and some news – in fact, I hope we can make it a date!!  As you know every June/July new craft products start to roll out in anticipation of CHA.  That’s when I get kind of quiet with the new things I’m designing behind the scenes.  Well, it’s time again for Blog Frenzy and I’m so excited!!!  It starts on June 21st which is tomorrow but I can just tell you this little secret, I’m in Central Time Zone so my post will go live tonite at 11pm.  There are tons of new die templates to see and the contest is going to be awesome this go around!!  So, please come back around midnight so that you can get your name in the drawing and be prepared to be totally enabled!!

Now, on to a Becca Bit I’ve been trying to share for a while.  Since I’ve managed to collect all the Distress Inks, I was so intrigued by the nibs you can use to apply color.  Once I got rolling with it, I decided to get enough nibs for one per color and of course I needed some way to store them.  Just recently I purchased the nib holder to go along with the nibs and I really like this set up.  I simply used one of my clear cases and cut clear acetate to fit into both sides of the case and put a piece of double sided tape down the front on top of the acetate.  On the underside of the acetate I put listing of the colors with enough space in between each that the nib could be stored with the color.  I have a piece of wax paper that is cut to size – when I close the case, I simiply lay the wax paper in so that none of the nibs touch, if they are still a little moist they won’t affect each other and to keep the tape on one side from sticking to another.


This is a card I did several months ago that was colored using the nibs – I love the control and the way the nib handles the pigment from the reinker so I thought I’d share.  You can find the original post for the card along with the product list HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I’m so eager to hear what you think of what I have to show tomorrow!!

    Becca, so great to have a post today. Was hoping you were just busy – not having difficulties. Thanks for the lovely card…and the Becca Bit. I’m with Cindy on the tutorial when you have time. I’m not sure I understand the wax paper bit. The other made great sense. Great idea too! You did a fantastic job with the nibs…got to try that. Hugs.ReplyCancel

  • BobbiJune 20, 2012 - 12:09 pm

    Becca, great idea for organizing tools. Can’t be too organized, saves time looking for things. Again thanks for your help.ReplyCancel

  • Dottie DavisJune 20, 2012 - 12:09 pm

    Clever clever idea for nibs storage. As others have asked about the nibs you use for the Distress Inks I would like to know, too. I use nibs for Mineral Spirits with my Prisma Pencils but I think they are a totally different kind. looking forward to the new dies!ReplyCancel

  • charleneJune 20, 2012 - 12:13 pm

    Becca are you saying you use the reinkers by Ranger to color when you stamp? If so do you do that with all of your stamped images? Its beautiful!!!!!!!!ReplyCancel

    Thanks for sharing that tip about the nibs, if I had any i would use it :o)

    Cannot wait to see what is planned!

    Have a great day and may you be richly blessed !ReplyCancel

  • Mel McCarthyJune 20, 2012 - 12:43 pm

    This is wonderful Becca! I always love seeing how you organize & your card is stunning. I have some dedicated blender pens. I use Ranger ink refresher as the blender fluid & I love the smoothness, but now I’ll have to try the nibs for sure.ReplyCancel

  • Jan CastleJune 20, 2012 - 12:43 pm

    What is holding the nibs in place…can’t tell from the picture – slots to slide them in??? I get the waxed paper sheet to keep colors from touching…maybe a tutorial on exactly how you use the nibs and also a bit more on the nibs, holder and where to get them…pretty please!

  • Beth PJune 20, 2012 - 12:48 pm

    As usual I am behind the times and know nothing about these nibs…*sigh* but I really love the control you have using them as exhibited in your card! OK, so I have to go on a quest for these nibs…and of course I love your storage idea! I probably need to collect a few more re-inkers as I am sure I don’t have all my fav colors yet! LOL! Is there ever a point that we are satisfied?! I guess that the new discoveries are half the fun of our art!
    Hugs,

  • Charlotte ZweigoronJune 20, 2012 - 1:02 pm

    Great idea, Becca. I’m saving up for some of those cases but I can’t afford 200 at one crack so I need to find some crafting buddies to share an order.

    I keep my Distress Ink Pads stored upside down in drawers that are just deep enough to stack them two high along with my homemade foam pad holders (also stamped with the name and color it belongs to) resting on top of them. I keep certain color families together and stamp an image on the bottom of each case with the color contained inside. Since they are upside down, you see the color first thing. I have had to refresh them occasionally but I do all of my ink pads this way… upside down with the color stamped on the bottom of the container.

    And, yes, we have a date. Have you noticed the stores having great clearance sales? Making room for the new stuff, I bet! Also, since you are a MIchael’s regular, have you seen the Paula Dean papers in the $1 Bins? (At my store it is a $1.50 Bin but my sister in SC still only pays $1) Paula Dean?? I was sceptical thinking they would have to be fattening in some way (!) but they are nice and have a lot of pretty little florals which I know you love and I haven’t gained an ounce since I bought them!ReplyCancel

  • SuzMJune 20, 2012 - 1:05 pm

    I’ve missed you! Like you, I am coloring challenged. A tutorial on coloring with inks and nibs would be appreciated.

    In your nib storage, do you run a row of double sided-tape on the acrylic so the nibs stay in place and don’t roll around when you close the case?

    Thanks for another handy hint for storage.ReplyCancel

  • Becky GreenJune 20, 2012 - 1:13 pm

    YES! I’ve missed your e-mails! :) BUT, happy to know you’re doing something in the background to show us! :) Can’t wait to see….Your “nib” idea is GREAT!!!!!!!!! Leave it to Becca to be SOOOO ORGANIZED!!!!!!!!! :) You’ll keep us ALL in-line! :) Thanks Becca for ALL you do!!!!!!!!!! :) AND I LOVE this card!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!! :)ReplyCancel

  • BeckyJune 20, 2012 - 1:19 pm

    Love the nib storage idea. You didn’t specify how the nibs stay in place tho.
    Did you use double sided tape? When I first read your Becca Bit and saw the picture, I thought you bought the item, but on the second read, I got it that you made this..just wasn’t sure about the attaching of the nibs.

    Thank you for all of your great organization tips. You are a blessing in so many ways.

  • María Alba NegrónJune 20, 2012 - 4:07 pm

    Hi Becca,

    I had already thought of that way to store my nibs also, but I could not figure out a way to keep them in place when I closed the case in order for them to not run all over. But I have doubts about the wax paper, do the wax paper protects them or do you use something else in order for them to stick down? I would also like for you to tell me how do you think they work best dry or wet? Thanks for all the help and keep inspiring us with your awesome talent!

    Are the nibs for the water pen that you use with the new Tim Holtz distress markers? I am not sure? I don’t have these yet but I believe I saw a video showing how to color using a water pen with an interchangeable nib?

    i dident see my comment ,so im sendind again. i also just goy my cases,they are great for our dies ,stampsand im also adding m.s paper clay flowers. BUT idont think there is any thing special about there magnet sheet, not worth it. i get big sheets at lowes cuts like butter for lots,lots less.$ you only need narrow strips because cases are hard enough dies dont flex. i had nice system with file box that had plastic sheets,i added chip board, but some times they still fell off. so now im thinking of were to store these cases. any ideas welcomeReplyCancel

    Becca- I had seen these some time ago and now I am thinking of putting in my order (the magnets were quite successful as they are on BO now). Anyways, I am wondering, can you tell me if I can fit 2 SB sets in each case: basically one on each side? Thanks for any feedback.

    Hello to everyone who sent their congratulations to me for winning the DVD cases Becca so graciously offered! Just to let you all know, I appreciate your comments. But unfortunately, I missed the deadline to notify Becca. My sis and her husband were visiting us from California and we took them on a 4-day trip around Colorado. We arrived home this evening and when I opened my computer and found out I had won, I about cried! So now it’s my turn to congratulate you, Lisa. I know you are going to enjoy those cases – they are WONDERFUL!

    Love to all,

Hi there blog friends – there’s still time . . .  Waltzingmouse Stamps just celebrated their 100th sketch challenge and there’s a celebration going on.  All the wonderful details are at this post of Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge Blog – HERE.  The sketch is a marvelous one and you have until Friday, June 8th if you’d like to give it a whirl and upload it on the InLinkz in the post I mentioned.  There are lots of prizes to be had and of course the more the merrier.  The sketch was right up my alley, I pulled out couple of my favorite die templates and shuffled them around to match the sketch.

I layered Spellbinders™ Standard Circles SM along with Spellbinders™ Twisted Metal Tags and Accents then stamped my sentiment on a strip embellished with Spellbinders™ Nested Pendants.  Following along with the rest of the sketch  I used vintage embroidered ribbon, burlap ribbon and lace as my cross piece and used satin ribbon for my vertical piece.  I tied a triple bow on the 2.5″ setting on the Peg Bow Maker and finished off with filigree and a button brad flanked by one of my handmade pics.  Lastly, I used linen thread to crochet a little medallion to sit on the end of the pennant.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps:  Waltzingmouse Stamps – Vintage Circles SM, Afternoon Tea Sentiments
Paper: DP given to me, don’t know name but I love it!!  DCWV card base, Neenah Classic Crest Cream, Coredinations
Ink:  Versafine – Vintage Sepia
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Standard Circles SM,  Spellbinders™ Twisted Metal Tags and Accents, Spellbinders™ Nested Pendants , satin ribbon, lace, burlap ribbon, linen thread, Peg Bow Maker

There is also still time to pop by and leave your name in the running for the TapeOnLine clear cases.  Just click HERE to get back to the correct post.TapeOnline.com

Hugs to you all!!  Thanks for stopping by, see you soon!!

    Dear Becca, I want to tell you how much I love your cards, they are so beautiful, I try so hard to make them and they never, never look like yours, I think one of the problems for me is I am always guessing on the size of your cards. I know they are usually large but when I go to make them, they just don’t look as beautiful as yours. Could you put the sizes of the cards on your site. I look forward to seeing your cards when ever they are posted and in fact I show them to everyone. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with all of us web friends.ReplyCancel
