There are still four days left to register for my current blog candy. You can check out the post with the goodies HERE.
Today I’m sharing a card made with a relatively new set from JustRite Stampers called Joyful Hearts. I love it that all the sentiments are all so optimistic and the ovals are one of my favorite orientations. I made a medallion using Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals LG – Die 2 on top of an oval that I hand traced to fit. That pairing is layered on top of Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals LG – Die 3 with my stamped JustRite Border and Spellbinders™ Classic Scalloped Ovals LG – Die 3. The bottom layers is Spellbinders™ Labels Eleven – Die 4. Everything is smudged with Antique Linen Distress Ink.
For the detail work I pulled my Martha Stewart Loopy Border Punch and punched two edges of my cardstock. I took a silk embroidery ribbon and zigzagged through the loops up and back to create a lattice along the center of the card. Each of three other edges are punched with a Martha Stewart Flourish Border Punch.

Why is that springing forward is so hard for me? I love the falling back but literally have to brace myself for springing forward. Well the good thing is there is absolutely no doubt that spring is on the way!! Thanks so much for stopping by.
Oh Becca this is beautiful. I guess you have to be quite gentle with the loops. I’m always amazed how you think out of the box. I can only get one foot out, but I’m working on it. TFS!
Becca – this is stunning. I recently had my birthday (11th March) and my sister wanted to make me a card but didn’t know what to do – I asked her to come on to your blog and look at your cards for inspiration as I love everything you do. I told her she’d find the link in my right hand menu bar – where you are just so I can keep up with your stunning projects. Thank you for sharing your talent and beautiful hand crafted projects.

Speaking of “a thing of beauty”–your card sure is! Love what you did with the ribbon and the soft colors are yummy!
oh goodness…what a beautiful display of ribbon, punches and embellies!
More beautiful lattice work. Another stunning card.
Your card is really amazing today dear friend. I just LOVE the way, you have kind of weaved the ribon on the front with the loops in the borders, and the way you´ve layered the sentiment with the bow and the button. I just love this onee quite a lot. Really beautiful.
biiig hugs Maryann
Becca,
WOW!!! You’ve gone and done it again.
Beautiful.

Another gorgeous card! I love how you weaved the ribbon but not at all surprised that you would come up with something this creative.
Becca, this card is AMAZING!!! I don’t know how you keep coming up with different ideas that continue to out do the previous! I love the weaving of the ribbon in the Martha Steward Loop punch! TFS your God given amazing talent!
Becca, What a beauty this card is. I love the way you wove the ribbon like lattice work. You are amazing! You blog name sure fits you! Hugs Lori
Beautiful Card! Wish I had your talent. Thanks for sharing, SharriC
Awesome card, very inventive.
Oh My!! The cards get more beautiful each day. What an inspiration you are to all of us. Thank you.
AMAZING!! You have to tell me, how do you come up with these great ideas? Do you see it when your buying your punch or is there some other way your inspired? I would like to know!!!
Becca~ I love the way you did the lace….how creative. Keep up the good work.

OH! I forgot to add to my post……I have another idea I would like to see for JRS…..
1. Advent things to make a calendar with…you know like a circle with a advent image in the center ….am I making sense?
2. 12 stamps to represent the months but the centers be a different animal or characture….not the number or the month name…that could be around the circle.
Ok, Becca, there you go again making another absolutely beautiful card. Love the lacing, button bow, paper, JR sentiment, punches & pearls.
Blessings,
Peggy
just stunning Becca….. I love the card, especially the way you’ve woven the ribbon thru the circles…. Just gorgeous!!!
You are such an inspiration to all of us!!! I always look forward to the new cards on your blog.
Wow, your card is a thing of beauty. I love visiting your blog each day. Thanks for sharing your talent and creations with us.
Awesome as always Becca. I love your blog, creations, and ability to always come up with something no one else does. Thanks for all the inspiration.
“Hugs” Granny
This is absolutely beautiful – I wish I had a tenth of your creative brain!! love the lattice work. Stunning.
Wow… only 4 days left and I didn’t get a notice until now! I do read your blog every time I get a notice of a new post, so I wonder why I didn’t get the initial notice about the new blog candy. I’ve re-checked all my e-mails and my junk folder, but your notices never go in my junk folder anyway, not to mention that I check it more than once a day! LOL!! So, anyway… I’ll head over to the right place and add a comment… but before I go, this card is so GORGEOUS!!!!!! I LOVE the ribbon lattice… I’ve been looking for that Martha Stewart loop punch set so hope one of my local stores gets it in… I have the double loop set so will have to see how that one would work and I think I have another one of her edge punches that looks similar to this loop one that might work. Thank you again for the wonderful inspiration!!!
It is very beautiful. It is great idea.
Becca, I don’t know how you keep coming up with these ideas. This card is absolutely beautiful! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Gorgeous! I have never seen that Martha Stewart punch before. I’ll have to look for that one. You did a beautiful job of incorporating the loops!
Becca, another blue ribbon winner….I am learning so much from you and can’t thank you enough for your generosity in sharing!
Wonderful card-love th ribbon lacing. tfs
WOW Becca, this card is wonderful.

Becca, you are so creative. This card is just beautiful. I love the way you weaved the ribbon through the loop edge and I love the extra touch of a bow and a loop of ribbon above it. You always add that extra special touch. Thank you for sharing, I can’t wait to try these ideas myself.
Another beautiful card! I don’t know how you can come up with such a variety of lay-outs! Amazing!

Stunning, awesome layering all around, the lacing is such a creative and awesome idea, great shading too!
Beautiful card. I love all the ribbons and stitching.
Another stunning card. I just recently bought this Joyful Hearts and I do love it so. This card is so soft and elegant.
Another fantastic layout using techniques and craft supplies in a way that don’t even enter my mind on most days. Thanks for helping us all to see things through a different pair of eyes.
All your work is so pretty. When I grow up I wanna do work like you do. I love all the different things that you have done with the Just Right items. Keep up the beautiful work.

Hi Becca,
What a beautiful card. I am always amazed that each card is so differant and full of new ideas. Wonderful and inspiring work.
Becca, this card is absolutely gorgeous!! Your work continues to blow me away. Thank you for all your inspiration. The bow and ribbon treatment on this card is wonderful – you have again come up with something unique that I for one would never have thought of. Love the medallion too.
This is beautiful…I have promised myself to at least try the ribbon weaving. It is truly impressive and this one seems to be kind of easier than some of the others you have featured. You are definitely my inspiration. Thank you.
When I grow up, I want to have a sprinkle of your creativity!!!
I love this card; the weaving and all the punches. I especially love the way you used the flourish border punch to accent the rectangular frame- how did you do it? I love the way you share all your secrets, and I will be patiently waiting for our reply. Thanks for all your inspiration.
Much admiration, Rachel
