Thank you so much for the kind, kind comments you left on my post about Spellbinders Sneak Peek Blog Frenzy!! The ornament boxes were fun, fun, fun to make!! I’ve had quite a few inquiries about where to get the template. I created the box from scratch and don’t have formal template to send out right now. After I return from CHA, I’ll have a video or step by step tutorial on how to make it. In the mean time, I have cards to share.
This set is precious!! One of the July releases with Our Daily Bread Designs is a set called Grow in Grace. I just love the sentiments in this set and opted to use two of the sentiments on one card – I’d say they go together great!! I sure don’t know how it happened, but this Antique Book Plate 2 has to be one of my very favorite Spellbinders die templates. As you can see it is perfect for a sentiment.
I have recently discovered the pleasure of stenciling these templates with chalk ink. Not sure what took me so long to get there but I had been stenciling with a brush and dye based ink. With the chalk ink, I use a piece of sponge and the ink is nearly opaque. It goes on very smooth and covers the area very quickly. I love the crisp solid look. In wider open areas where there is the opportunity to shade, I think I’ll stick to the dye based ink but for these little areas I think I’ve found a match!

Here is another of the Our Daily Bread Designs releases from July. I love the background stamp with the music from Amazing Grace. I paired it with a sentiment stamp from Grow in Grace. For an accent on the card I created a flower using layers from different Spellbinders templates – Flower Creations (eight Petal and large five petal), Sunflower Set One and Sunflower Set Two. The sentiment is stamped on Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio.

Wow! You are soooo creative with your card making and they’re all just so beautiful.
I love how you use Spellbinders dies – you make me want every single one you use and I’ve only recently started collecting.
Thank you so much too for crafting your faith and showing just how lovely scripture cards can be. We need more of this in the world.
Blessings
Stunning cards, Becca! I love the colors on both of them. I really love to see a tutoorial on how to make the flower. It gorgeous! Have a wonderful day!
Beautiful cards both of them. The one with the flower looks like a beautiful vintage card that some one kept in there treasure chest and they bring it out to admire every once in a while. TFS!!!
Oh Becca these are so gorgeous they give me goosebumps!!
Your faith shines through in everything you do.
I think you will have to do two tutorials though – one for the boxes and one for the flower. Please. (Er – you do know you have made me fanatical about Spellbinders dies?)

Both cards are stunning! I have so many Spellbinders dies to get, and I haven’t even gotten many from the first set….I am sooooooo behind, but I love that flower and I have one of the Sunflower sets, so now need the other two and I can have that fantastic flower you made…I love the first card, too, only 2 colors and so very elegant!
Becca,
Stunning cards! Just beautiful.
Hope you are having a great week,

Both cards are “Becca” stunning! I love those sets from Our Daily Bread! Will do some shopping when I return from vacation!
Good afternoon, Becca- two beautiful cards to view today. I love the scripture card with it’s soft blue and white – like Delft; and I love the flower card- the colours here are very elegant.
Your cards are truely inspirational, Becca. Thanks for sharing.
Love both cards-so lovely! Since Amazing Grace is one of my favorite hymns I need to get that stamp. tfs
I enjoyed your spellbinders reveal and wished you had mentioned Suzanne Cannons quietfire stamps by name. She linked to you on her yahoo group.

God bless!
these are two beautiful cards, i always admire the way you use ribbons on your projects!! and everything else. well thanks for sharing and the work is gorgeous.
hugs
I just love this card, it is gorgeous, but then again, all of your work is stunning.
very pretty cards, love the porcelian feel of the first one and the flower is just beautiful on the second along with your bow!
Becca, these are gorgeous cards, as all of your cards are. I was especially drawn to the first card (blue one) for I love the sayings. It made me think of my sister who is going through some rough times right now. Her husband is in hospice care, she is disabled herself and so the weight of the world seems to be crashing down around her. She is strong in the Lords faith but everybody can still feel down. I will share this card with her so that she may feel uplifted with the saying.
Thanks for your inspiration to us all.
Karen
i just love how ornate and fancy your stuff is. i wish i had the vision to imagine what you seem to capture effortlessly. i look forward to borrowing inspiration from you, daily.
Becca, I NEVER grow tired of seeing your beautiful work! Wow, these are both outstanding!!! God Bless!
Both cards are beautiful. I really enjoy visiting your blog and seeing all your creations. You are very talented and blessed.
