Romantic Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Spellbinders Victorian Letters and Spellbinders Moroccan Accents - www.amazingpapergrace.com
Good morning friends, I’m back with a quick card that’s all die cuts.  I’ve had this wonderful victorian alphabet laying on my desk for a bit and wanted to make a card to show the beauty of all the individual letters.  Using Spellbinders Victorian Letters  I cut all the letters out, lined them up and added a gold layer on the “i” and “u” and substituted a gold heart for the “o”.   I’m telling you, it doesn’t get any simpler than this, plus I have a quirky kind of satisfaction that I used every single letter :-)
WRBF-4833-2015
This is one of my simpler cards but honestly to get all the letters on the page there is no room for a big bow, trust me, I tried.  I added decorative corners using Spellbinders Moroccan Accents – they draw your eye in so that you might pick up the gold letters.   Of course a tiny little bow to highlight the heart.  I must say this is an easy flat card to send – a rarity for me!

WR-Supplies
Rubber Stamps:  None
Craft Paper:  Neenah Classic Crest 80lb Smooth Solar White,  Gold Poster Board (Hobby Lobby), Bazzill
Ink: None
Accessories:  Spellbinders Victorian Letters, Spellbinders Moroccan Accents, Sheer Wired Ribbon – Hobby Lobby,  Gold Heart Charm (Spare Parts – Hobby Lobby), Pearl Button from my stashpost-header-bottomThanks so much for your words of comfort.  My mom is enjoying her stay and I’m keeping her busy in between postings here – the best medicine in my opinion.  I’ll be passing her on to my sister in the next couple of weeks so she doesn’t spend the holidays alone.  She’s absolutely amazed at all the kindness here.

    Becca, I had to add one more comment on this card. As I was looking at it again, a light bulb went off, wouldn’t this make an awsome card card from my twin granddaughters to their Kindergarten teacher on Teacher Appreciation Day!! They absolutely love her. Just couldn’t be a better way to express it.
    Hugs,

    Wow! Simplicity and beauty combined together in this card. I love love love the alphabet dies and the way you combined them to create a card that shares “love.” Your creativity never ceases to amaze me. I don’t know how you think of things like this but I’m so glad you do. I’m glad you are able to spend this time with your Mom. When my Dad passed, I was blessed to be able to spend 3 months with my Mom at her home. We then traveled to my sister’s home and then onto mine for a few weeks. I think it helped us all with the grieving process but I know it definitely helped me. I’m continuing to pray for you and your family. God bless you all and Happy Thanksgiving.ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca, Please say hello to Mom for me though she doesn’t know who I am but she is family, too, even if cyber family. Thanks for using an oldie, the Moroccan Accents. Unless you remind me, I forget I have a winning die in my collection. It looks so good with just 2 corners–another good tip from you to make the card more interesting rather than squaring off with 4. Also, I now know what to do with ‘unused’ alphabet letters. Your Thanksgiving may not be so Happy this year but still lots to be thankful for. God bless and keep you safe. BarbaraReplyCancel

    Becca, who else besides you could think of using all the letters in the alphabet and making them so lovely with the a highlighted gold “I” and “U” and a “heart”, to make “I Love You”. And you were able to find a place for one of your gorgeous bows. How clever you are to come up with this card design. I like the idea on one of your posters that this would be a perfect card for her children’s teacher who they love! Hello, Becca’s Mom! Prayers continue for you and your family. Please know others care. Wishing you a blessed Thanksgiving.ReplyCancel

Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Spellbinders Corners and Accents One - www.amazingpapergrace.com
Good morning friends.  I’m so tickled to be back for Day of Giving Friday with a new card!  I’m a little late with my post today, but I have delightful company at my house and I hope you’ll forgive that each morning we are sitting on the porch in our pajamas lingering over our coffee – loving every minute of fall.  I brought my Mother back with me and there’s lots of catching up going on – a true blessing at a good time for both of us.

In going through my bin of cards I discovered a card I had not shown before and the sentiment is so positive and so, so appropriate.    I hope you won’t mind, but there are not many specifics to give on the supplies used other than the paper is Graphic45 and the sweet flourish over top of the ladies is Spellbinders Corners & Accents One (an embellishing die that never fails me :-)).  That stunning sentiment is one from a Tim Holtz collection.Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Spellbinders Corners and Accents One - www.amazingpapergrace.com

For your comment today, what’s a lovely memory or cherished routine you associate with fall?  For me, the sky seems bluer and the air seems so crisp and full of hope.  I love those first fleeting signs that the seasons have changed – a walk in the morning chill is a cherished routine and makes me appreciate the beauty in changing seasons.  How about you?

    For me it is the memories of going to the woods with my father and cutting wood for our fireplace for the winter. Seeing the beautiful changing of the leaves and smelling the wonderful smell of fall and pine leaves. My father is gone however; just the smells alone bring him back.

    thanks for sharing.ReplyCancel

    This is a stunning card!
    When I was little, I woukd run around our neighborhood collecting the different colored leaves in the fall. As I’d collect them, I’d put them in a bread bag my mom had ready for me. When I had one full, I’d bring it home and rub my fingers through the leaves and look at all tge colorsReplyCancel

    Hi Becca, I have not been on your blog for a long time as we have sold our villa here in Spain and have rented an apartment nearby .the disadvantage is that we no longer have Internet and so have been out of touch.
    I got a shock this morning when I read about your brother Ben having passed on,my sincere condolences Becca and also for the rest of the family.
    My heart goes out to your mother as it must be devastating to loose one of your children. Please Becca give her a big hug from me and I shall have you all in my prayers tonight. Bless you all.

    Now about your last few cards ,they are gorgeous and the sentiment on today’s card is very appropriate!
    How nice that your mother is staying with you and you are enjoying this important time together.

    At the moment we are staying in a hotel in Benidorm as I had to see the cardiologist for a half yearly checkup,all is well and I can catchup with my mails and blogs.
    Leaving Sunday ,I will have to find an Internet cafe near where we now live to keep in touch with everyone.
    Take care Becca, big hug ,love Jane B. From SpainReplyCancel

    What a pretty card!
    My favourite autumn memories are of the times we took our children back to Jesus College, Cambridge where the grounds have many, many huge Horse Chestnut trees and where we were blessed to be able to park under the beautiful falling leaves. As the students were not too interested in collecting them, the children had the pick of the huge glossy brown conkers, bursting from their prickly cases. The look on their faces as they found scores of ‘treasures’ was priceless.

  • Wanda ThomasNovember 20, 2015 - 12:28 pm

    Although I did not intend it to become a ritual, it seems to have evolved into that. Each year I gather a batch of those beautiful leaves and attempt to preserve them. Have tried countless methods and recipes and they seem to last just as long as non-treated leaves. But just the process of trying is therapeutic! Tell your mom she should be very proud of herself for producing such a talented and loving daughter (and rest of the family, I’m sure….)ReplyCancel

  • Clare WNovember 20, 2015 - 12:33 pm

    As Keats said the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness. I do love autumn. The light changes and seems to illuminate those late flowers. And the Fruit. Orchards, lovely tasty apples, pear’s and Black berry hunting. And then apple and BlackBerry pie. Mmmmm….

    WAUW what a beautiful card here again today Becca. I just love these beautiful colors you´ve used for it, and I have also been missing your gorgeous bows, so I´m so glad to see one here today.
    I love the wonderful colors of the fall season, and as a child, I grew up in my countys biggest wood, and every year we make a family trip back to it, to collect great stuff for all our decorations here every year, and I just absolutely LOVE that week-end each year, and I also LOVE, that all my lovely granddaughters seems to apreciate it just as much as I do, and always starts asking for when it´ll be this year, as soon as the leaves begins to change colors.ReplyCancel

  • Judy BNovember 20, 2015 - 12:49 pm

    Taking my mom for a drive down to Brown County to see the leaves changing color. We lived all our lives, until 10 years ago, where the leaves were green all year… no color change at all. I love the fall with the beautiful colors, and even the winter with the snow! If you’ve never had it, it’s nice to be able to experience the changing seasons.ReplyCancel

    The card is so lovely. I love all your layers, the visual texture it gives is wonderful. I’ve got to really try to do more of that on my cards.
    The fall leaves and all their color is a good memory for me ( grew up mostly in Massachusetts) but even better… I love the crunch beneath my feet, still do! Oh and I can’t forget the clothes! Sweaters, boots, hats…. oh my!!! what a wonderful time of year.

    Every Fall, my beloved father would call at the beginning of school (I am a teacher) and wish me a special “Have a great first day and a wonderful year”. It made a world of difference and set the perfect tone for a new academic year. Each year now, I take special time to remember and relive those calls. It carries me through and let’s me have some sweet time thinking of a great , loving man.ReplyCancel

    Believe it or not, it’s Black Friday… but not like we have now. We never even called it Black Friday, we called it ‘the day after Thanksgiving’! Every year my mom and I would drive about 40 minutes to where she grew up and we would pick up my Godmother. We would head over to a local department store where they had Santa and photos, Christmas music, and hot cocoa. After shopping, you would bring your receipt to the service desk, and pick a tag out of the fish bowl. Each tag had a percentage that you would get back in cash on the spot! Most were from 10% to 20%, but they did have higher ones, evan a 100% one, which my Godmother got once! After that, we went to lunch at a local landmark restaurant, and then visited my Grandma, who was physically unable to go out shopping like that. My Godmother and Grandma are long gone, and boy do I miss them!ReplyCancel

    Another gorgeous card! For me fall is the time to get to cook in the oven again. And fill the house with the aroma of roasts and cookies and pumpkin bread. Love to hear the crunch of the beautiful leaves as we go on walks. Enjoy those porch chats and sips, Becca.ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca…enjoy this precious time with your Mom. I love this beautiful card with that lovely sentiment! I think that my absolute favorite tradition in fall is having my grandchildren over on the day before Thanksgiving to help me prepare some of the food. Among other things they love to tear up all the bread for the stuffing and mix it with all of the other ingredients. I’m blessed with three beautiful grandchildren!ReplyCancel

  • Debbie in ColchesterNovember 20, 2015 - 2:23 pm

    Hi Becca, how true the words are on this beautiful card.
    A lovely memory of the season is being brought up in a village in Wiltshire where you learn to appreciate the great outdoors, picking sloe berries for mum to make sloe gin, collecting fallen leaves, conkers and beech nuts for school projects. Happy days. xxReplyCancel

    The piles and piles of leaves to jump in is my favorite memory of fall. Now in NH we sit on the porch and watch the leaves turn color. The leaf peepers (people who drive very slowly along our highways watching the leaves turn)are now a tradition as well.

  • Christine MillerNovember 20, 2015 - 4:44 pm

    When my son was a little guy, we went on walks as Fall began to show its face. We collected acorns and changing leaves for pretty displays. As he grew older, he chose two acorns, one for each of us. He put one in his pocket to think of me and gave me the other to think of him (as if I ever stopped!). He is in college now, and we text a lot, but I miss those sweet little tokens!ReplyCancel

  • Colleen HowellNovember 20, 2015 - 4:59 pm

    How wonderful that you brought you mother home with you. This is such a difficult time for both of you, but it can be a joyful time as you share wonderful memories of your dear brother. Enjoy your time together. Your card is beautiful. I love the sentiment, and it is so appropriate.
    One of my favorite fall memories is my grandma making persimmon pudding. These are persimmons you get in the woods and you have to wait until after the first frost. If you pick them off the tree, they’ll pucker your mouth, but if you pick them up right after they’ve fallen off the tree they are yummy and make the most wonderful pudding. It isn’t really pudding consistency, it’s more like pumpkin pie, but a little more dense. With a dollop of whipped cream – mmmmm!ReplyCancel

  • ChelseaNovember 20, 2015 - 5:27 pm

    What a lovely card! And the sentiment is so appropriate. You’ve showcased it beautifully here.
    My cherished routine in fall is to take a vacation at Elkins Resort on Priest Lake in northern Idaho. We go every October. The dogs run around like nuts down at the water and romp through the leaves on the trails. The air is crisp, the sky so blue it hurts your eyes! I’d better stop, or I’ll keep writing about the wonderful times we’ve had year after year.ReplyCancel

  • SuzzieQNovember 20, 2015 - 7:51 pm

    A cherished memory in fall for me is one from my adulthood. I was invited to attend a Brunswick Stew cooking at my brother-in-law’s parent’s home. They made one day, a year, of cooking their Brunswick Stew. It was a very “cool” day in the fall under century old red oak trees in the yard where an enormous black iron pot was set up for cooking the stew. This black pot at one time had been used for “cooking” laundry! No regular spoon would do for stirring the stew due to the depth and width of the pot. We used a wooden “boat” paddle. Hot hickory wood coals were ready to heat the pot from underneath. Precooked beef, chicken, pork, tomatoes, butter beans, potatoes, onions, creamed corn, meat stock and a few spices when into the pot. Stir, stir, stir. We all got to stir. Reminded me of witches hovering around a black pot on Halloween! The warmth of the fire was comforting on this fall day. At last, the stew was done. It was time to taste Ms Margaret’s recipe. Each of us was given one dinner spoon for one dip of this mix-mash of bubbling goodness. The instruction was to “take care of your spoon”. Well, I was not turning in my spoon to be washed for I wanted more of this red stew! So, later when the spoons were being retrieved, I pulled my spoon out from my pant’s pocket. You see, I was taking care of my spoon! Everyone got a hardy laugh from my act of caring for my spoon. I guess no one had ever done that before. A sweet memory. Becca, your card is lovely. The sentiment is so priceless. Amen. Thanks for sharing.ReplyCancel

  • Marcie SmithNovember 20, 2015 - 8:04 pm

    I love the fall. Great sleeping weather!!! But, the thing I look forward to are the Holidays. This is one of my favorite things, when the whole family gets together. We host Thanksgiving and Christmas every year, and I love it. I love to cook and love having the entire family together under one roof!! This year, we will only be having 15-17 family members at Thanksgiving. Usually we have more. Not sure how many will be joining this year at Christmas. Flying is getting a little scarry these days.

    Becca, as always the card is just lovely. My favorite time of year is fall. I think I get this from my dear mother. We lived in So Ca while I grew up. She grew up in Wisconsin. They have 4 seasons there! She always said fall was the best! Here in AR fall is great, no longer hot and no cold yet. We have lots of colors to see when the leaves change. We always go driving to have a better look, but have so much just in our back yard. The Lord has blessed us all! Blessings, LisaReplyCancel

    Fall is my favorite season! I love the beautiful colors that are the last bloom of summer, the harvest of fall squashes and sweet potatoes, the wonderful crisp mornings walking through the garden and seeing dew on the cob webs, the wonderful bright pumpkins up beside the corn stalks, all herald that fall is here! Time to GIVE THANKS!

    So sorry for your loss. It must be terribly hard what you and your family went through. My prayers are with you all.
    A fun thing we do in the fall is to gather acorns with our grandchildren. Recently it was 2 seven year old, a four year old and a 20month old. It is such fun watching them. Of course they have to look under all the bushes for “treasures”. The latest was a small gin bottle that they put berries in and topped with an acorn cap. They were so proud of that. Their imagination is worth it’s weight in gold.
    Have a peaceful season.ReplyCancel

I’m not good with this time of year when we have a lot of darkness, I am a definite summer person, so I am counting the days until we have spring again haha.

    We went to the US to visit our daughter who was studying there,
    and drove by car from the West to the East coast.
    A fantastic journey; all the wonderful people we met, the beautiful landscape and the colors of the trees and landscape – becoming more and more brilliant the further east we went!

    Fall always brings back cherished memories of my mom, in heaven now for 3 years-3 months now. The Monarch butterflies migrate though our part of Texas every year in October around the time of her birthday. We would always call each other when we first saw one, and now that she’s been gone, I always think of them as butterflies from heaven. This October I saw the first one on the afternoon of the day before what would’ve been her 81st birthday!

    We had many cherished times when my sister and I would take her to Canton (if you’re from Texas you know what a fun time it is) for her birthday and have a grand time shopping and laughing!! So thankful for these fun times we had with her!ReplyCancel

Christmas Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Spellbinders 6 x 6 Holly Frame and Quietfire Design Christmas Is A Piece of Home - www.amazingpapergrace.com
Good morning friends, just a short note to say that I’m back.  I went to Virginia for Ben’s funeral and to help put his affairs in order.   It’s been a long last couple of weeks and I’m mindful of many lessons learns and reminders to live every precious moment.   All that to say, I’m present, I’m current and love you all; you lifted me and now we move forward.

How refreshing it was to sit down and tinker with a Christmas card.  I picked a lovely sentiment by Quietfire Design that resonates the sweetness of home.  I’ve had this die on my radar for many months, it is Spellbinders 6 x 6 Holly Frame. Many will wonder how I was able to get two tones within the die and the border surrounding the sentiment – I explain that in my Creating Borders on Die Cuts with the Minc Machine Tutorial.  If you don’t have a Minc Machine, you can achieve a similar look by die cutting foil.   I have to admit that I originally cut the holly frame and interior border with Solar White paper and wished that I had cut it from cream paper.  No worries, Antique Linen Distress Ink to the rescue :-)  I so wanted to put a bow on the card but instead opted for a button/pearl accent on thin ribbon instead.

    Becca, I am so sorry for the loss of your brother. I hope it will give you comfort, if not today, maybe later to know he won’t have to suffer any longer. Kidney failure is not painless, nor is the loss of a loved one. Blessings to you in the continuation of your journey.ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca, Welcome back. I knew that you must have been dealing with family matters when new posts stopped coming. I pray you and the family are able to move forward without Ben and appreciate the time you had with him. Your talent displayed in the ‘Piece of Home’ card is as vibrant and fresh as ever and a joy to see. I don’t have these dies but all your new ones arrived at my door so I look forward to seeing you in action with those. Take care and know that you are loved via cyber technology. BarbaraReplyCancel

    Dearest Becca,
    I send you gentle hugs to you and your poor family, my love and prayers that you will fine a time to look back at Ben through the eyes that only a sister can have especially for their beloved wee brother. The sun will shine once more but you will have a lot of things to overcome first and that takes time, so just know that i’m thinking off you.
    Your card is stunning Becca and i too have had my eye on the holly frame die from SB for a wee while as it is just so pretty. You softening down the white background so that it had a more natural colour to it is just right. I just can’t seem to put white with gold either as it looks odd to me as i think the crispness of the white lends it’s self to silver and Ivory or Cream to gold some how. The red that you have used in the frame has a lovely depth to it so shouts out elegance. Thank you Becca for your beautiful card,
    Love and crafty hugs

    Hi Becca,
    Oh I am so sorry for your loss, haven’t been visiting your blog for a while and were therefore oblivious of what you and your family, not least your brother Ben, must have been going through. We really are a bit lax generally when it comes to making a will etc, so your advice is good advice indeed.

    It’ll be a Christmas filled with memories for you, it is so good that you and your family are there for one another. I’m hoping that your faith will give you comfort and strength, your brother is now free from pain and his soul is free.
