Good morning sweet friends, I hope today is shaping up to be a glorious day for you. I have a quick card to share today from pieces and parts that were hanging out on my desk – kind of like a grab bag card. I love the beautiful floral image from JustRite Rose Bouquet Vintage Labels Seven so it seemed perfect for a feminine card. The card is built up with Spellbinders 5 x 7 Elegant Labels Four, Spellbinders Majestic Circles and Vintage Labels Seven. Since the rose bouquet image was the focal image for my card, I hung my tiny sentiment off of a tag – Spellbinders Back to Basics Tags.
Here’s how I made it – step by step:
Start out with a card base that measures 5-1/2″ wide – 6″ tall. Cut a panel 5-1/8″ x 5-5/8″ and mat with a panel slightly larger; attach ribbon and adhere panel to card base. Next cut/emboss Elegant Labels Four (mine is cut and reassembled across the bottom to make a more compact card – simply cut apart and tape together – no worries, your ribbon will hide the cut) – adhere with double layer of foam tape. Cut/emboss Majestic Circles and adhere with a layer of foam tape. Cut/emboss Vintage Labels Seven, stamp and color then adhere with foam tape. Cut/emboss tag from Back to Basics tag and stamp with sentiment. Attach bow, hang sentiment, add pearls.

So jealous… if only I could come up with something like this from bits and pieces lying around on my desk. Beautiful work as always, Becca!
Tres chic – love that bow! Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
Thanks for the inspiration and reminding me about making grab bag cards. So often I try starting from scratch and its alway nice to be reminded to revisit previous die cut outs as a starting point.
So very pretty and as always elegant. This altering technique is one of my favorites, it’s great to maximize your dies and get different results. The stamps are gorgeous too. Love it! Thanks for sharing.
Greetings Becca from across the pond. I found you accidentally one day last week and I just love your talent, work, and love of sharing with all. Thank you for all you do.i just know I will be a huge fan .

Good afternoon Becca,
This is stunning. My bits and bobs on my desk are nothing like yours!! There’s scribbled notes, three pairs of scissors, tweezers, craft knife and bits of card with pieces cut out. Even you would be hard pressed to produce anything of note out of that lot.
BUT I’m going to put everything in its proper place and start to craft.
I have done my version of your Crystal Angel card and was so pleased with it that I did another in different colours and one will be going to each of my grandchildren who are 7 and 10. They will be thrilled with them as I will tell them they are their Guardian Angel cards.
Love xx
It always amazes me how you are able to create such fabulous soft and sensitive cards. That is a very special talent to be sure.
Blessings

so lovely, I like how you did the tag, pretty way to dress it up!
Hi Becca,
What a pretty card! You must have a beautifully tidy , organised craft table!
I try but mostly fail miserably. I do, however , have a box of unused die cuts, handmade roses, flowers etc! Maybe I’ll get there one day! Thank you you for another lovely card. I love that little tag.
Love Myra
This is really beautiful Becca!:) That lovely pink, the bow, the dies…, the image, the tag, your coloring & the pearls……sigh! Yep, looks like my day has begun nicely! Thanks to YOU Becca! Just BEAUTIFUL!:D
Gorgeous card, amazing how you put this together from pieces laying around your desk!!! Love your wee tag and sentiment, just precious!
This is a beautiful card! LOVE the roses from Justrite!
So creative! All of your work is glorious! You are the reason why I have so much joy in my paper crafting! Thanks for all of your inspiration! You are my rock!
Hey, I have just tried Cutter’s Glide on my Spellbinders paper dies. This product is amazing. Because it helps release the paper plus sharpens the metal edges. I still place wax paper between the die and the paper. Wish I would have found this product earlier. It has made my paper crafting so much more enjoyable.
Lovely! That card is just luscious!! Pink delicate – wow! I love your creativity here, Becca!
wished my card could turn out with bits and pieces. Melanie
I love seeing your creativity. I hope to continue to let my creativity flow and see something come together from gazing at items in my Romper Room. Yes, that’s what I call my room and no one gets it unless their about my age – and older.
Becca, thank you so much for sharing your great talent. You are an inspiration for crafts and as beautiful woman who is living life in an appreciative way and grateful for the world around.
Hi Becca,
what a lovely card – I really must look at my bits and pieces and try to create something half as lovely as yours.
Hugs, Rose (in Chester, UK)
