Welcome to JustRite Stampers’ newest Wednesday feature, 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hops #4! Every Wednesday up until Thanksgiving some of your favorite designers will be joining some of the JustRite design team for a series of Christmas blog hops, showcasing JustRite’s entire Christmas Collection of stamps! This week, it’s the Spellbinders design team! So mark your calendars for Wednesdays at 9am Central for great Christmas gift, card & project ideas, starting at the JustRite Inspiration blog!
Just this past week readers shared their thrifty tips on how frugal they are when they craft and during life in general. After reading so many great comments it had me thinking how satisfying it is to find something, a left over perhaps from another part of my life that I am then able to use in crafting. My mind settled on some pretty, pretty lace cupcake liners I used for a gift quite some time ago. I had several of them left over and I used them on my card today. Those black cupcake liners, like most liners, have a curve. I used this to make an arch to highlight the JustRite stamps that I used for my Christmas Card. I just love the filigree look, I think it makes a stunning backdrop!! I ran my ribbon right behind the filigree since you can see through it.
I picked JustRite JB-08770 Christmas Joy as my focal image. It’s a tried and true sentiment from the JustRite Christmas Collection. I love the vertical oval and it matches several of my Spellbinders perfectly. For the oval medallion I layered Spellbinders Big Scalloped Ovals SM , then Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Ovals SM and lastly Spellbinders Classic Ovals SM. My image is colored with Copic Markers. I used the two cupcake wrappers by just folding them over the edge of my card and taping them on the back. I tried and tried to slather pearls all over this but my spidey sense just said no. Instead, three understated pearls on a cosage pin break up the strict symmetry.
How are you coming on your Christmas cards. I promise you, we’ll be there before you know it!! So how was my attempt to be frugal today? If you like it and would like to see more items like this, please leave a comment to let me know :-) In the mean time, please visit these designers’ blogs to see what fabulous JustRite Christmas inspiration they have for you on the hop today!

What a wonderful looking card! Before reading the article I wondered what the lace was. A terrific idea. I would love to see more frugal examples.
Simply beautiful, Becca!
Love the use of liners :)
What an absolutely gorgeous and creative card Becca! I adore those liners and you have created a magical card with them!
hugs,
Sankari :)
Really gorgeous! I would have thought that was lace…..love it!
Your card IS FABULOUS!!!!! It looks SO ELEGANT!!!! Sure we could ALL use more ideas on being frugal!!! :) If your cards will look as GORGEOUS as this one, who’s going to argue with you???? :)
Fantastic use of a lacy cupcake liner.
Beautiful.
Thank you for sharing
As always you have out done yourself!! This card is just Beautiful!! I was saying to myself now were in the world did she get that lace behind the verse….??? Never would had guessed it was a cup cake liner……never. Again, Just Beautiful! And would love to see you use other things in different ways!
I too wondered about the “lace”…I thought it may have been from a Cricut! Gorgeous…I have never seen them. Is that something that can be found at Michaels?
Beautiful (as per usual :) )
How gorgeous, what a great idea and I’ve never heard of lace cupcake liners? Fabulous!
Becca, your card is beautiful. I love it. I love the cupcake liner. Thanks for this card. Have a nice day.
Ohhh, a girl after my own heart!!! LOVE frugal ideas!!! Terrific card, Becca! Take good care!
Would love to see more ideas along these lines. Have never seen these cupcake liners at H/L (Don’t bake!). I will look for them next H/L visit. I thought it was lovely lace. What a stunning card…each one gets better & better.
Beautiful! Love the look of the lace!
I always try to figure out what products you use on a card but this one had me fooled….a cupcake wrapper! First, I’ve never seen a liner this elegant and secondly, I never would have thought to use it as you have.
Thank you, Becca, for sharing your artistic gifts with us.
Another lovely idea. More frugal ones too at least once in a while please!
Awesome! I LOVE the lacy cupcake liners.
Lovely card! I’ll try to get back for the blog hop, but have to go to the Dr. Thanks for sharing your talent!
I love it and would never have dreamed it was a cupcake liner!
I love how you showed your frugality in your card. I can’t really picture what your cupcake liners look like to be able to come up with such a beautiful shape underneath your image. Is it possible to post a picture of the cake cake liner, so that we can see the before and after? I would love to see more cards showing your frugal side. I LOVE this one!!!
Oh My ! What sort of naughty cupcake would you use those on? The card as always is stunning.
WOW, Becca, I have never seen these cupcake liners, and I am just amazed how stunning your card is!!! Love EVERYTHING you make!!!
What a Beautiful card! I think that cupcake liner would look great on a Halloween card, too. I absolutely Love all of your cards – you are so inspiring!
Stunning!!! Love the use of color combination. That is an amazing cupcake liner. Did you get them at a speciality store?
WOW I have never seen cupcake liners like this. I too thought it was lace!! I would LOVE to see more of your frugal tips!! You are truly amazing!!
As usual your card is stunning Becca. I have never seen or heard of cupcake liners in UK, they’re gorgeous. Seems a shame to mess them up with cake though. At first glance I thought you had maybe used a fancy Cricut cut out design that I’d missed. I suppose this kind of look could be achieved with an intricate Cricut image.
tfs
This is stunning!!!
Beautiful! Love the card and those cupcake liners!
This is beautiful. TFS.
Becca, you amaze me. Cupcake liners, you are a always thinking outside the box and I love it. I need to keep my eye open for great finds such as these. God bless.
Truly stunning! I love that cupcake wrapper!
absolutely lovely as always
Hugs

Oh my goodness, my mouth is just hanging open! This is gorgeous!!

I love the lace look !!It is so unique . You never cease to amaze me
I have never seen cupcake liners like this. I’m Off to Hobby Lobby
Hobby Lobby buyers will wonder why the sudden run on lace cupcake liners LOL
They never met you :)

I am so gld I found out about this hop it’s getting me in a good mood and ready for the holidays beautiful work
Becca this card is so elegant. I just love it. Glad I read thru to see where the lace came from. Never would have guessed that it was a cupcake liner thou. Where did you find these. I’m a baker and have never seen these. However, Martha Stewart has teamed with Provo Craft and has a cake cartridge with nothing but cupcake designs shaped like these. However, I don’t believe any of the designs are as this intricut or as beautiful. Must share where you found these. Please. This is definitely where frugal and saving has paid off.

I have never seen anything like that before… Just gorgeous Becca!!
I must be shopping out of the loop because I have never seen cupcake liners like this. Awesome card. TFS.
Yes I would love to see more frugal ideas or designs using older Spellbinders dies, JustRite sets or other things from past years.
I am on a ” New Ideas for Old Stuff” mission
Thursday’s supper has always been leftovers before I go shoping on Friday.
I clean out the freezer and frig and figure out a meal from the left overs.
Maybe you could do “Left Over Thursday” with cards from old stuff. LOL
This is a fabulous idea. I will definitely look for those liners when I’m shopping next! Love how intricate they are. Stunning card!!
Very romantic looking!
WOW Becca! That’s all I can say-WOW! Absolutely GEORGEOUS! Like so many others, I would have never thought of a cupcake liner/wrapper. And I have never seen them in the stores either! So very ingenius!! WHERE do you come up with all these BEAUTIFUL ideas? God has really gifted you!! LOVE ALL your cards!!
Stunning card Becca! So elegant!
How very ingenious. That is quite lovely! Don’t believe I have ever seen those liners.
cupcake liners you say! WOW…love the look. Wonder if anyone can make a die like that????? YUM! Beautiful card Becca!

Wow, I guess I never would have thought to put such a thing on a card. It’s lovely. Guess I need to start thinking out of the box!!
Becca, As usual you have a beautiful card. I like the idea of the cupcake liner. Once I used a paper lacey doilly in my card.
absolutely stunning Becca!!! Love the lacey look
Amazing…love the cup cake liner idea. I love to see how people can repurpose items for stamping, etc.
Love the card and the bling. I always find a lot of inspiration on your blog.
Absolutely amazing.. This is just stunning.
wow, I had never even heard of a cupcake liner and what a delicate filigree it is! Very pretty indeed and no wonder you used it on your card, another triumph Becca!
OH so pretty!
*GASP* Becca this is Stunning!!!!
I loved this card from the moment I saw it, and couldn’t read fast enough to find out what the lace was. What a great idea.
Cupcake liner??? It’s gorgeous! So is the card you created with it. Hmmm~ wonder where you get cupcake liners?

Hugs and smiles
I love your card Becca. It is so elegant. Thanks for sharing.
You even have fabulous left-overs! I’ve never heard of nor seen a lacey cupcake liner so you are still keeping up your reputation (with me, anyway) of always introducing something new and wonderful. TFS
I never would have suspected that you used cupcake liners. How awesome.
WOW Becca – my jaw dropped when i saw this beautiful card – but when i read that it was a cupcake liner – it dropped a bit further!!!
its simply stunning and a fabulous example of frugleness – i wish all my frugleness turned out like your just did!!!

What a gorgeous card!! Those cupcake liners are so pretty… I’ve never seen anything like that before… didn’t know anything like that existed. Now will be on a search for pretties like that. Can you tell where you found them?
