Good morning sweet friends! I’m popping in today for a quick post and to also let you know that there is a treat in store for you tomorrow. Tomorrow I’ll be sharing some stunning book/card/mini albums that the Creative Team have put together using the 3D Vignettes Collection by Spellbinders . In the meantime, today I’m sharing one of my uplifting cards that uses one of my favorite sentiments from Quietfire Design. It’s honestly a “feel good card” and so many times the recipient has called to say that it lifted their spirits precisely at a time they needed it. That’s the home run I’m always looking for — just to know that it helped. I’ve used some of the favorites you have in your stash: Lunette Arched Borders, and Cinch and Go Flowers II in the Chantilly Paper Lace Collection. I’m also using Hemstitch Rectangles from the Venise Lace Collection.
I send out cards quite regularly. I do try to change them up slightly so that it’s not the same card over and over again. That’s where embellishment dies come in handy. Simply by adding the flowers, a different frame and the arched border, I was able to disguise my normal layout.
Pour and Send
Thanks for stopping by friends. I hope that if you have a minute, that you’ll whip up something to uplift someone who might need it! It doesn’t have to be a masterpiece. It doesn’t have to be posted online or even use new things. We collect and have so many tools at hand! It’s a great experience to pour your heart out by creating and then to pass it along by sending. Pour and send, if you will :-)

Yes, Becca, I agree. Truly uplifting just like all your cards do for me. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful card Becca. I love the hemstitch rectangles – might have to open my wallet!! I know exactly what you mean about sending a card to uplift somebody. I noticed a lady who attends the crafts class we run in the village had seemed rather low for a few weeks so I made a card for her. She was so pleased that somebody had realised that there was something wrong and had gone to the trouble (her words, because certainly it was no trouble to me)to do something for her. Just goes to show that it is the little things that can mean the most ! Hugs Christine x
Beautiful card. Your work is always so gorgeous and so perfect. I love the background paper by iralamija. Could you tell me which set this one came from? Thank you so much and thank you for the constant inspiration!!
Hi Sheila is from the set called: PINK ROSES
Thanks so much!!
Becca, this is just beautiful. Your work is always so gorgeous. I have been a follower of your blog for a long time and have always come away with inspiration. Thank you for that.
Beautiful card Becca. I love the sentiment too. And very much two last sentences in your post too.

I love everything about your cards. The colors, the designs, the beautiful dies, the sentiments, the bows and flowers. They just make my heart happy.
What a beautiful card and such a lovely saying. Quinty girl
I agree with you Becca – and it’s so easy with the die cut images to swap one for another to make a new looking creation! I always admire your choices in sentiments – it’s so important to fit the need of the receiver. Thank you for sharing and for your encouragement. Hugs Dianne aka the kardlady
This is really beautiful and elegant!!!!!!! I love every single detail, it makes me happy every time you use my papers! thank you for sharing <3
HOW LOVELY, BECCA!!! I LOVE the printed paper you used with the Hemstitched Rectangles, the pretty floral paper & EVERY LITTLE DETAIL you’ve added! Yes, “pour & send,” is a good thing to do! ;) I have those friends too… AND THANK YOU dear lady for the dies!!! They arrived on Friday & OF COURSE, I went RIGHT TO WORK with them!!! Will be posting something soon that I made with them! ;) MANY (((HUGS!))) I’ll be back tomorrow to see what everyone has for us! ;)
Beautiful card, Becca. I love everything about this, especially the love and care you always show to others. It’s reflected in your art and in your life.
What a beautiful card. I think sending an “I care” card is an excellent idea. I’m usually trying to make cards that take a lot of time which I don’t have a lot of. But something like this I can make to keep on hand. Thanks so much.
Wow such a spectacular card love the idea so much i want to try it :)
Becca I enjoy seeing your cards and reading all you post. I try to make cards mainly to family, don’t know I will ever be as good as you are but I wanted you to you I appreciate all you do and sure many others do as well. Please continue you do inspire me.
God Bless
Hi Becca
I just wanted to tell you how beautiful your cards are. Each one is more beautiful than the previous one and I really enjoy seeing your creations.
I noticed that you use a lot of ribbon on your cards and just wondered if you have a special place to purchase it. I live in New Brunswick, Canada and I can’t seem to find really nice ribbon. I would appreciate it if you could offer some suggestions of where I could purchase some.
Doreen
Hi Becca,

Hugs Pam X
“Pour and send”- that is such a great idea. Funny, I was thinking this morning about making a card and sending it to a very nice person I met at Creativation. Inspiring stamps from Quietfire were rolling through my mind. Will need to pour and send to this person.
Your card is beautiful and I adore the window frame you created. The flowers are so pretty!
Have a great day! Hugs
Hello Becca, I look at your cards over and over they gave me such joy. What talent you and your team have. My daughter is getting married this year and I will be using the ornamental arch and layered happily ever after die to create her invitations. Thanks for sharing such magnificent talent with us.
Love how creative of using all of these gorgeous dies and making this beautiful card!
I’m sure that anyone fortunate enough to receive one of your beautiful creations will immediately feel uplifted. Such a great sentiment too!
Hugs
