Happy World Card Making Day!!! We have a GIVEAWAY (details at bottom of post) today but as usual we’re making cards; it’s a wonderful way to celebrate WCMD! I’m tickled to show you a little bit of inspiration from my new October 2019 Die of the Month – One Kind Word Alphabet Collage.
I’m the kind that stands in the card aisle for hours on end looking for exactly the right sentiment to express what I’m feeling in a card. Have you ever tried finding a ‘Sorry’ card? Um, right! It was that frustration that led me to create this month’s Die of the Month. You can headline with Sorry, Amazing, Silly, Crazy, Fierce, Happy, Blessed, Gather, Home, Grow, Friend, Bestie and the list goes on and on. No need to stick to one word, you can have two – U Rock, Adore U, My Love.
One of the things we share when we share a handmade card, is kindness. What better way to share that kindness than to put the exact word you mean on the front of the card. Nothing like getting right to the point! The Alphabet collage is a card in and of itself but the words you can make with the letters that fall out, are priceless. You can use the 5 x 7 Sentiment Frame or go naked and simply make up your own sentiment.
My Project Today:
I simply can’t describe the draw I have to gingham and it was the strongest inspiration for my cards today. I have two cards that I cut on the diagonal of the gingham paper. I’m a seamstress at heart and if there are any seamstresses here too, you know how we approach cutting fabric. I was able to get two cards out of my cuttings as they are opposites. It just goes to show the flexibility with the die. It has a frame that makes it ultra easy to compose the card and a brilliant choice if you struggle with composition. The frame breaks apart the real estate so that it’s pretty easy to decide what goes into each quadrant.
Supply List:
Stamps: None
Paper: Neenah Classic Crest 80lb Natural White, My Minds Eye
Ink: None
Accessories: October 2019 Die of the Month – One Kind Word Alphabet Collage,

These cards are fabulous Becca! Your design team have made some lovely samples too. My words to create would be “RELAX” and “ENJOY”.
Oh! So, so pretty, Becca.

I’m with you, Ann, in wishing this extraordinary lady a wonderful birthday! Isn’t it perfect that it’s World Card Making Day? Becca would be so “tickled”, I’m making cards with her dies this weekend.
Love this die set and every other die you design Becca I have been following your blog for many years now and adore the inspiration it gives me. The word I would use LOVE as it means so much. Thank you
Just beautiful Becca, I would use the world “Beautiful” because life is beautiful, the world is beautiful and human kind are beautiful ?
The thing about card makers is that they show others they care. Sometimes it’s not about creating a work of art but more about getting the “word” out. Does this ever make that easy! I love using the gorgeous papers in my stash and collection of ‘Cinch in Go’ flowers- PERFECT!
Hi Becca, my word would be Love. I love your cards.
Thank you

Another beautiful and versatile die Becca. How do you do it? It’s so easy to make beautiful cards with your dies and awesome inspiration. Thanks so much.
Great idea. So many different looks with the alphabet dies. I like to do inspiration cards and my first card will be using the word “Believe”.
Such an innovative die! I would put the word “LOVED” on my card.
We are waiting for a new great-grand daughter who is due to be born in Florida any day now Our grandson and his wife are in Northern Wisconsin waiting for the phone call telling them that she has been born and they can go to Florida. Having adopted two daughters of our own, I know how hard the waiting game can be. She is already adored! It would be a beautiful card to welcome her home with!!!
Ji Becca,
As usual a gorgeous card and so dainty. Seeing that November is coming soon my word would be grateful, but nevertheless I am always grateful. Come Christmas it would be PEACE, we need a LOT in this world. Thanks for the chance to win!
Cariños,
María Alba
Gorgeous cards as always. I would use the word LOVE since it is perfect for so many occasions.
Becca, you are in your element coming up with all these beautiful die designs and I am so happy for you and for us, your followers! As I have perused each website,. the versatility if these dies is stunning. As always,. I simply love your cards!
This alphabet die is perfect! I love the delicate font. If I have to choose just one word, it would be LOVE. Isn’t that what life is all about, after all!?
Another great design Becca. Congratulations and thank you.
The word I would use with this alphabet die set would be HELLO.
I’m so excited to get mine absolutely love your dies and this club!!! Your dies are so beautifully delicate and feminine I believe I would use Peace because that is what I need right now. Thank you Becca
Great cards! I love this dies set!
The new die of the month and your cards are gorgeous. I would do the word treasured (if it fit) otherwise precious.
Oh Becca, you just never stop making pretty stuff do you? I absolutely LOVE your adorable cards here, and I too love the Gingham paper, sooo beautiful.
I think the first word I would use would be Sweetheart, as my little granddaughter is celebrating her Birthday next month and she is such a sweetheart, and would definitely love a card like this. I really wish it wasn´t soo expensive to get your monthly packs over here, but it is really crazy with taxes and postage, but my daughter is going to the US here in a week, so is there anywhere over there, they can be found in stores? I would really love to know, if possible.
A very HAppy Birthday to you today sweet lady, I hope, you´ll have a wonderful one and be spoiled rotten all day long.
I would love this, would use the word Blessed
I absolutely love your cards!?
I would make a card with the word GRATEFUL and BLESSED.
First of all, Happy Birthday! Hope you are having a great day. :)
I am so happy you came out with this set! The letters are versatile: they can be elegant or sweet or fun. The background die is clever! I zoomed in on the card to see how you did the banner when I realized it was the background die. You are one smart, creative cookie!
Thank you for always inspiring! Hugs.
Beautiful cards one kind word perfect alphabet die to complete any cards for any occasion.
Beautiful cards! I would do Mason, the name of my grandson who is turning 4 this month!
I would use the word amazing. Card Crafters are amazing people, they fill our world with color , and beautiful crafts.
Oh, I just love this dainty alphabet and sweet little card, all in pink!
My word is blessed, another is kisses. Thanks for the chance to win. Love all your designs. I have been a big fan of yours for years.
Happy Birthday, Becca! I am so happy to see what you’ve designed in the new One Kind Word Alphabet Collage die. Your examples and those of the design team show how versatile this die will be. I already have some plans for Halloween and will use “RIP” as my first word. Then, I’ll use “Peace” and “Hope” for my Christmas cards. Thanks for all you do to advance the crafting in all of us.
What a delicate gift to welcome new innocence into the world.
I look for perfection but as I’m not very creative or artistic I think I’ll always be searching, but I try my best x
I adore your cards. Love the flowers and the gingham.
HOPE is what I’d add to my work especially on a new born card, I don’t know where I’d include it as I mentioned I’m neither creative or artistic but we all HOPE that this new life will enjoy love health and happiness so HOPE would be my word xx
These cards are all so delicately beautiful. Always amazed at what you come up with Becca – especially the versatility of your dies. A word to spell? HOPE!
Sorry I’m a bit late to the party, so hope you had a wonderful birthday, Becca!
I adore these cards – and that beautiful gingham – oh my….!
Such a very clever die and a lovely alphabet. So many words that could be used, but which to choose when so many have already been suggested….?
Perhaps ‘friend’ :o)
Hugs
