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)

    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

  • Camille M. RussellJune 23, 2012 - 8:37 pm

    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

    Beautiful card. Hope I can do it similar to yours after receiving the dies. Thanks for the card and video. EdnaReplyCancel

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!!

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!

  • 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

    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?

    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.

    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!

    Becca – thanks for your post. Excited for the blog frenzy from Spellbinders and to see what incredible projects you have come up with once again.

    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?

    Thanks for all you do!!!!ReplyCancel

  • Sally McDJune 21, 2012 - 5:11 am

    What a fantastic idea to use nibs, must be great for detail coloring! New dies? WOW!ReplyCancel

  • lois skiathitisJune 21, 2012 - 5:30 am

    In a word your card is stunning. Love the colors of the flower. Coloring with distress inks always has a look of it’s own. Beautifully embellished too Becca. Thanks for the Becca Bit, such a clever idea using the nibs for coloring. Beautiful work. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-DReplyCancel

  • MaxineJune 21, 2012 - 6:42 am

    Becca, I’m so sorry to hear about the untimely death of your friend. Only God has the answers. You spoke of flowers – remember how much more beautiful His bouquet is now that he has added her. I enjoy your blog so much, your talent is truly God-given. But even more than that, your love of Christ is so reflected in your words. You have found a truly wonderful way of sharing His love with others. I pray God gives you comfort.ReplyCancel

    So sorry to hear about your friend. It’s so sad to think this has happened to your friends. Thursday I heard from my daughter that my son-in-laws step sister went to bed Wed night and didn’t wake up Thurs morning. She was only 24 years old. They are awaiting the cause. She was going to be in her mom’s wedding today. It’s not a happy day! Peace to you. JoyceReplyCancel

    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!
