Good morning sweet friends. I’m tickled to be participating in the Spellbinders November Inspirational Hop and several giveaways. It just so happens that a collection I’ve designed is in the mix today and I’m so excited to share a little bit about the Chantilly Paper Lace Collection. The collection features embellishments as well as five layering frames that can be used alone for a quick card front, they can be cut together with a hinge for a shaped card or they can be layered over each other for a sweet romantic feel and enchanting look. I’m so blessed to be a die designer and very much design what comes from my heart as well as feedback that I get from this wonderful community.
If you are new visitor on my blog today, I hope you’ll subscribe :-) I’m a long time card maker and on the blog – for inspiration – I have a pretty large visual gallery of samples, sortable by die name (color, style, size and occasion) that I’ve been building for the past 10 years. I typically make fancy custom cards with unique layering. If you’ve one of my subscribers then you well know that I adore ensembles. I got started in papercrafting because I wanted to make a card to match the gift or gift box I was giving. Along that vein, today I’m using Spellbinders Bella Rose Lattice Layering Frame (my clear favorite) for a classic, elegant Christmas card and matching box ensemble.
The Card
One of things I’m loving about Spellbinders Bella Rose Lattice Layering Frame is that it can be cut so many ways. Today I wanted a deep frame so I layered up the largest diecut without the center pieces. I stacked three dies with foam tape between them and laid in a background from a vintage dictionary. I added a focal panel cut with Spellbinders Hemstitch Rectangles and stamped a sweet Quietfire Design sentiment in two colors. For the finishing touch I fussy cut velvet petals and rolled them into flowers – I wanted to rich green and red to signal traditional holiday colors.
The Box
The cream box is a simple one with a hinged lid closure. From Spellbinders Bella Rose Lattice Layering Frame I scored 7/8″ and 2-3/8″ from each end. This created a wrap. The loops from the end of the diecut overlock each other (total coincidence) to complete the closure and box simply slides inside the wrap. To finish it off, I added flowers!

This is soooooo beautiful! I love the vintage look with the patterned paper and classic gold AND those have to have dies!!
The Bella Rose frame is gorgeous. What an elegant card. Love all of your creations.
I really love the elegance of Becca’s cards!!! I also learn a lot from her and ways to use the die cutouts for more than just cards…for example….boxes! Really stretches the investment of our tools!
I make around 150 Christmas cards with the help of my family. It’s very sweet to see us all lined up around the table doing our assembly line. Why so many? Well sure Christmas is a wonderful time but there are many out there who are lonely so that’s who gets one from me and my family.
Very pretty card Becca!
Absolutely beautiful! I have none of these dies, please share where to purchase. Can’t wait to try one on my own. I have just loved looking at these, time to try on my own! Have a blessed holiday all!
Hi Sandra, if you click on the first link in my blog post, it will take you to where they can be purchased. Also down in the supplies list I have linked them also :-)
Beautiful card and lovely die. Christine S.
I’ve missed you! I make about fifty cards for Christmas now.

What a gorgeous set! The roses!!! How pretty and how clever to use the velvet in making them! Brilliant, as usual. Thank you for such a wonderful posting.
Your card is amazing and I love the beautiful box. I usually make about 30 cards. Thanks for your give away.

[…] Becca Feeken […]
Gorgeous card! I make from 25 to 30 Christmas cards each year. Sometimes I mass produce the same design and sometimes i make them all different!
Becca,
Such a beautiful design of both die and card. Thank you for the inspiration.
Wow! This card is beutiful! You are amazing the way you can come up with so many different designs and color combinations. Thank you for sharing. I make around 300 cards a year.
Such a beautiful card and what a great giveaway! Congrats to the lucky winner, I’ll be crossing my fingers :)
Beautiful! I’m excited about the blog hop and look forward to seeing the creativity. I usually send out about 50 cards but I’m fighting a serious bacterial infection in my lungs that I have to be on an antibiotic for a year! I’m not sure whether cards are possibility this year. I’m still super excited for the inspiration though.
Oh Sandra, sending prayers sweetie! Hoping you are feeling better soon!!
Such a beautiful card!!! Thanks for sharing. Love U ? & Spellbinders??
Beautiful card, Becca! I make at least 40 Christmas cards every year. Happy Thanksgiving!
Since each of my Christmas cards are different and bulky only a few will get one! Love this die and card.
Love this card. I usually make about 50 cards for he holidays. This card is so great I hope I can make some as great as yours.
Becca, your designs are so beautiful and ethereal. Love them.
Carol b
Love the card and the box above -I like what you did with the Bella Rose frame. I purchased this frame recently but haven’t created a card with it as yet! As for how many Christmas cards I created this year, my work was done in the summer months and I may have finished at least 6-8 new ones for a total of 160 cards. I usually create 20 of each for my craft shows and online. My selling season will be over shortly for Christmas cards and I’ll use some of them for own card list. This is the most wonderful time of the year isn’t it! Hugs Dianne
I just adore your style! It’s classic and luxurious. I find these cards to be delicious eye candy… so appealing!
I’m hooked!
Thank you for sharing your gift.
Elegant cards as always. Love your intricate die designs. I want to win this Spellbinders prize,so I can spend it all on your beautiful dies which I die for.
Oh sorry I forgot, I make over 40 cards at Christmas and donate most of them to my Church. I love the crafting and don’t know enough people to use them all…
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Hi there Ms. Becca, I tell you what you never cease to amaze me. So many beautiful things just seem to pour from your soul. Love love love all your dies and continue to purchase as I can. As for my Christmas cards, I make anywhere between 50 and 75 cards each year and almost entirely from scratch (as the ol’ saying goes). I just love to make pretty things and always have. Then to hear people say things like they never throw one of my cards away gives me such a special feeling. You are the very first person I ran across on the net to inspire me to make cards and I remember being awestruck at all the ways you can make paper sing. I was fortunate to win one of your cards a while back and I feel like I have a little masterpiece displayed front and center on its shelf. I just want to take the time to tell you again how much I appreciate your kindness and your talent and especially your zeal for our Heavenly Creator. I can tell you not only talk the talk but you also walk the walk so until we meet in Heaven , may God richly bless you and your family. Hugs, Denice with a “c”
I love the Chantilly Paper Lace collection. So delicate looking. The Christmas card in the colors other than red and green is great.
I make about 100 Christmas cards. I donate some and send the others to family and friends.
Beautiful. Love the framing and the flowers. I make 50-75 cards each year.
Oh Becca, what a beautiful collection. I already have several on my wish list. Maybe Santa will bring, I hope. I make about 50 Christmas cards a year and start in July to create my designs then start mass assembly soon after. All have a Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving.
Such a beautiful card!
I don’t have a set number. It depends on how many friends come to craft, I have to help them, so it slows down my prod7ction!
Hi Becca, I just love your cards and dies. I lovingly make about 50 Xmas cards each year.
Have a wonderful Christmas, love from Australia.

Hello Becca,
You have been missed. I always looked forward to Fridays with Becca…however, your creation for this blog hop/giveaway touches my heart. You have a way of romancing the pieces and parts to make something that takes the breath away. Our house buyer feel through, so we are waiting to try again to sell in the spring. Now, what to do, as I have packed everything anticipating a Nov.29 closing. I guess I’ll just HAVE to buy your newest Dies and the small 6″ Platinum Die Cutting machine. Giggle! Best regards, Sara
Lovely card, love the gold elegance and the richness of the velvet flowers. I make about 25 cards, usually for selling. I love all the Christmas card inspiration right now.
Wow! Your card is simply marvelous! You did a great job. Love the card you made. Thanks for sharing your ideas with your card you made.
Hi, Becca! Love you dies and you cards, I have some of you dies, but not all. Hope I can win to buy more of you lovely dies. ???
Your card is GORGEOUS, Becca! I LOOOOVE the flowers you fussy cut! (NEED to make a die for them!!! LOL They’re STUNNING!) I have begun to make my own flowers, following Joanna’s direction! ;) I LOVE the gold on this & the intricate die! Your ensemble is STUNNING! SIGH! You’re just adding to my Christmas readiness, seeing this! ;) O.K., I don’t send out many cards for Christmas, compared to others. I make about ten, & that is to make sure I have some for those that might pop up even. HOPE you have a WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!!!! ;)
Love seeing the creativity xx
Awesome just awesome.
Usually make about 15-20+ personal cards and a few more for general use. Sent locally and internationally. Lovely way to connect with friends and family.
You always amaze me with your beautiful cards. You and the others on the blogs are so creative and inspiring. Beautiful dies used in lovely ways. Thank You
This is a gem. Love the new die and the flowers are beautiful! Have beem missing you my friend!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

This card is absolutely beautiful! I would keep it out like a picture! The frame die is so pretty!
Beautiful card. Great release from Spellbinders.
I never get any cards made before Christmas so I send about 10 cards a year. Not many, I know!
Very, very, classy! Real pretty.
Gorgeous frame dies. Your project is beautiful.
Beautiful projects. I make about 30 cards a year. Thanks for sharing..
Your cards are so lovely. I just started making cards and am soooo inspired by your beautiful work. Thanks for giving me such wonderful examples to start my crafting journey
Your designs are astounding!
Hi, Becca,
This is a gorgeous card & gift box – such a delight for my eyes! I couldn’t be happier that Spellbinders is featuring your Chantilly Lace dies. I am always fascinated by multi-layers but some of the other bloggers highlighted just how elegant your dies can be used on their own. Fancy certainly doesn’t have to be hard and time-consuming, since YOU do all the work!
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m so grateful to fill my creative space with your beautiful dies.
Love and blessings, Sandy
Oops, I realized that I didn’t answer the question you posed regarding how many Christmas cards I make each year – about 50. My present day passion for making greeting cards started with an annual handcrafted Christmas card project. Here I am over 30 years later!!!
Becca Thank you so much for such a Beautiful Christmas Card… Thank you so much for all your hard work…
Hi Becca what a gorgeous vintage Christmas card
I just picked this die up I have now got some inspiration !
I have missed you ? I only make about 20 cards for Christmas
these days Hugs Pam XXX
Becca, You and Spellbinders are a match. Thanks.
Your projects with your die designs are lovely. I usually make about 25 Christmas cards each year.
Wow! These are so intricate and lovely. Thank you for the ideas.
Gorgeous card, Becca. I will probably make about a dozen cards this year.
Beautiful card!
Oh my goodness ! The Rose Lattice frame is out of this world. I am so impressed with your wonderful talent. Thanks for sharing it with us :)
Gorgeous card and
box, love the colors
and those flowers!
Carla from Utah
You’ve created such wonderful, elegant dies yet again, Becca, and showcased how gorgeous they are with your card. I usually create a LOT of cards as I have many supportive friends who buy my cards to mail to family & friends, so I can easily say I create around 100 cards in various designs.
Your work is absolutely gorgeous! I really love what you create and how you make it possible for crafters to create too. Thanks.
Love this card ??
Becca, your talent never ends. Always clean and classy and so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your passion with us.
Lovely work! I’ve already made approximately 250 cards and have maybe 100 to go.
Stunning projects- I love coordinating my cards and packaging too. I usually make about 50 cards for myself and this year made 80 for my kids’ piano teacher.
thanks for using the new Quietfire stamp in this lovely card! Happy Thanksgiving!
so beautiful!
What a gorgeous project! Love the elegant look to these beautiful dies!
I make about 20-25 cards to send out.
Enchanting, so beautiful!!
Your card is amazing, as always!!! I usually make about 12 cards each year.
Beautiful card! I always look forward to seeing your creations and have never been disappointed. Oh, to be so talented as you. This year my handmade Christmas Cards are down to 58 from 80+ as Arthur has my hand so swollen and painful that even stamping is an issue right now. Guess I need to rest it. Have to wait until Friday as my cooking for Thanksgiving dinner starts tomorrow! Have a blessed Thanksgiving. I am so thankful for you and your creative mind.
Gorgeous projects!
Your work is always so beautiful and elegant ..I just love your projects and the gorgeous way you use the dies .
Fabulous!!!!!!!
truly gorgeous…loved how elegantly you have used the dies.
Love the paper lace die cuts. Thank you for the beautiful designs!
Elegant card… love the color combination…
This is beautiful and so detailed. Have made forty-five cards, and am now
making kiddie ones for the grandkids!
Oh I love what you’ve done with the layering frames and the rose well that’s gorgeous too. Thankyou for sharing your talent. How do i subscribe to your blog please. Xx
What a beautiful project! I’m a new crafter so I’ve never made Christmas cards before.
Hi Becca
I’m in awe of your
Missed your postings for awhile, but it was worth to wait for this one! Your creation is beautiful. Since I have this collection I must try to create/design something beautiful, as time allows. Made about 50 Christmas cards, there is more to be done. Wishing you and yours a blessed Thanksgiving.
The dies are really gorgeous. And I love the inspiration card.
Love your beautiful card – so delicate and showy! I’m only doing thinking of you and birthday type cards for December this year. Using a winter theme. Thanks for sharing your lovely card!
[…] examples to get a jump start on that next card you need to make. Don’t forget to go back to my post from yesterday to enter for prizes given by Spellbinders for their November New Arrivals Blog […]
You have shared some beautiful cards, but this one actually took my breath away when I saw it. Thank you for sharing
It seems like each year I make less and less.
As part of the older generation, the friends
are dropping by the wayside. I’m probably
down to about 30 (includes the ones I make
for a card swap). Your card is
beautiful. thanks for sharing.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Your work is so lovely and I love your dies. I usually send out about 20 to 30 Christmas cards each year, though as I age, names have to be removed from my list. However, going through the list each year brings such fond memories of each and every one I make a card for.
I am so enthused to make cards with your beautiful dies!
I haven’t made many cards period for the past 2 years. Maybe I will get a few Christmas ones done this year. Beautiful cards and dies.
Kay
Oh Becca! I have been away from my card making for a couple of years and am just returning, I know, “Gasp”. And oh boy, you have been busy! What lacy and gorgeous dies you have come up with. As always, your creative genius never fails us!
Umm, gee, I probably make around 65 Christmas cards a year. I love Christmas time as it seems to still be able to inspire us to a kinder side of ourselves.
Hugs for now,
Elizabeth P
Harrisville, New Hampshire
I’ll probably make about 30 cards! Love your inspiration!
This card is beautiful! It’s always a thrill to get your email because I know I am in for a lovely surprise when I look. I’ve been loving your designs; wish I could collect them all. Thank you for the inspiration.
Wow! What a great card. I usually make around 25 cards for the holidays.
Becca.
What lovely elegant detailed dies. They are truly gorgeous. You have been a busy elf! :) I’d love to win one of them. thanks for the chance.
~Gin K.~
i begin making 25 cards to send out but end up mailing about 12 just to family and a few friends :( . I get burnt out pretty fast during the holidays. Becca i love this rose lattice die and you made it AMAZING!! Thank you for sharing this on this blog hop! :)
OMG your workmanship is just amazing – love your cards and your creativity:)
This is my first year making Christmas cards so far I have made about 20 ! I’m so excited to be making my own this year. Christmas is the most favorite time of year. I love to decorate for Christmas. I enjoy the simple things of Christmas. Thank you so much for the chance to win! I just adore all your works !!
Beautiful, as usual!
I love this elegant die set! I see so many possibilities for it! Your card is gorgeous!
This is so beautiful!!!
So elegant and pretty!
I make about 30 Christmas cards each year.
Really beautiful card.
Becca, this is gorgeous card. I love Bella Rose, as well as the other Chantilly Lace designs you have showed. I love the graceful way you put everything together. O yes, I made about 20 Christmas cards last year.
You did it again Becca. Absolutely beautiful collection. I can’t wait to make my new cards with the Chantilly Lace collection.
I make approximately 25-30 Christmas cards a year. I start early in July. Each card takes about 3-4 hours to make. It is worth it because I know I bring smiles to those who receive them. Happy Holidays!
Outstanding
This is a really pretty card made with your beautiful dies. I don’t make too many Christmas cards, but have been busy creating Christmas projects for a Christmas market this year.
Your dies are gorgeous and so is your card.
I am pouring over your blog all the time for inspiration and I never fail to find just the right project that I can adapt my way. Thanks so much for all your hard work!
What a stunning card, have ordered my dies to have a go myself. Thanks so much Becca for the inspiration xx
Wow.. Love that box from the die.. This is just a beautiful die. Great ideas.
Another beautiful card Becca. The only thing more amazing than your dies are your cards. You have a very special gift that I aspire to achieve on my cardmaking journey. I haven’t been at this for a long time but I make about 50-75 cards for Christmas. It’s a challenge but I feel so rewarded when I’m done with them. Thanks for all your inspiration.
I make 40 to 45 Christmas Cards. I’ve worked out my design for this year. Now to start them!
This is absolutely gorgeous!
I only make about 30 cards a year; but that is why I like blog hops, they can all be different. Thanks for the inspiration.
Simply stunning!I make thank you cards but not Christmas cards!
Another STUNNER of a die!! (Do you realize my Spellbinders wishlist is over 1/2 your creations?!! This one is going up near the top!) Love those roses and the LEAVES!!! Did you just freehand fussy cut them, too?!
My cards are all Thank You and Friendship cards. But, since I’m disabled, I only get out about 4 or 5 a month.
Long time fan, Becca, and you never cease to amaze and encourage! Normally I make about 70 carts but don’t think I’ll have the time this year! Happy Thanksgiving!
Your creations look like jewels !!
I make over 50 cards per year. I really make Christmas cards all year long. it’s kind of a running joke with my friends. they laugh because I tell them I don’t send cards I just make them. I do send them but not as many as I make. I have a friend who always needs a card so I box mine up for her. she I tickled pink when she gets them. I have to laugh because sometimes she’ll send one to me. I love your new collection. can’t wait to play with them.
Your dies and projects are always awe-inspiring and so beautiful! I feel so inspired each time I visit your blog. As for my Christmas cards, I usually make about 60 and send out 30 or so. The rest I donate to a local nursing home for home bound seniors. They appreciate the handmade cards so very much.
Fabulous cards.. You amaze all the times. Thanks
Your cards always blow me away! The layers of die cuts and flowers are just gorgeous. I don’t make too many Christmas cards each year since I send photos cards but still make them for my close family and friends. I also make cards for the teachers in my daughter’s classrooms and other school personnel.
What a beautiful card. At first I thought it was a frame.
Such a beautiful card! I don’t make very many Christmas cards. only 11, just for my immediate family and good friends.
stunning! such detail and depth
