 
Hi there sweet friends! I’ve been out of town for a bit so I have a some catching up to do! First a card to share – this was the card made with the flowers and custom dyed ribbon from the Scrunched Flower Tutorial. It languished on my desk with a different colored background and it just didn’t speak to me, so I changed the background colors to brighten the card. Since they are my home colors, I like much more – oh, how often this happens. Again, I’m so loving the sentiment it’s a great addition to my stash and is one that will get much play – this’ll be a card I send often. Penned by my friend Suzanne Cannon with Quietfire Design, she’s given many options to go along with the bold word “Thanks”, you can see all the options for the Thanks Cuddlers Set HERE.
For my 5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″ card I crafted a cream background using the hinged method described HERE. I created a matted layer from card stock cut to 4-7/8″ x 6-5/8″ and design paper cut to 4-3/4″ x 6-1/2″. On top of that I ran a piece of lace and ribbon secured in the back by tape. I arranged the small, medium and large flowers made with Spellbinders Garden Blooms (by A Gilded Life) into a triangle arrangement and tucked the swirls from Spellbinders Foliage Flourish (cut with green card stock) behind the flowers. The sentiment is stamped onto a card stock cut with Spellbinders Labels Thirty Three and as an accent behind I’ve used Spellbinders Reflection, cut in half vertically.

What’s this stuff about the humans getting all the cards? Exactly! I was tickled beyond belief when this month JustRite Papercraft introduced pet centered stamps. My two main squeezes Bailey (remember Bailey? you can see her HERE) and Kira are gonna be happy girls. There’s a goodie box on the way to them with their name and a cute little card to boot!! This project simply made me smile and I know those girls are gonna go crazy when the mailman brings the box. (Anyone else have a dog that knows there are treats in the bag before you even bring them out?
For my 5-1/2″ square card I used Spellbinders Graduated Dots for the embossed background. In addition I wanted a stamped background so I used the paw prints from Pet Sympathy Sentiments. After spanning the card with grosgrain ribbon and lace I embossed/cut Spellbinders Gold Majesty Circles and threaded in a hand cut strip with a notched end that’s stamped with a sentiment from Furry Friends. Then the little treat boxes that are actually small milk cartons. I cut them with a steel rule die (discontinued from Dayco) and clear acetate. Lace, ribbon, bows and then that adorable little bone from the Furry Friends set finished up the things going off in my care package.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Bless you all and have a wonderful Easter!
Well hey, posts two days in a row! I’m excited today to share new stamp sets from JustRite Papercraft and you’re gonna love the sweet handwriting style of the set we’re using today – it’s called Grand Handwritten Sentiments. It has some unique sentiments and you know we’re always looking for sentiments that sound like us. I think ‘How are You’ and ‘Miss You’ are my favs – I send that kind of note all the time but I crumbled and added a Birthdays Card to the stash because I’m always in need.
Can I officially say that the purple slate color (at least that’s what I call it) has found a way into my heart? I don’t know the manufacturer but it’s a lovely vintage looking shade and worked for the romantic feel I was looking for. This is a simple layered card with a 5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″ card base, matting layers of purple slate and cream followed by a digital paper which I enlarged with Photoshop. Spellbinders Regal Frame adds a gracious and elegant layer that I threaded my bow through. I stamped my sentiment and finished off with the filigree piece from Spellbinders A2 Tranquil Moments and a couple of pearls.

Beautiful as always. It’s comforting to know I’m not the only one with have done projects that don’t speak and sit there on the desk till the aha moment happens. It is an encouragement for the day, thanks for sharing your heart. Blessings!
Your cards are always so very beautiful! It’s great to see that someone else waits for a card to speak to them before they can call it finished. Thank you for being such an inspiration.
So lovely Becca!!!
So lovely. I really will have to try the scrunching…and the sentiment, perfect as always.
This is so lovely

Becca, I so missed you and so happy to see you are back with another gorgeous card. I need to find time to try these flowers
Gorgeous card, as usual. I love this stamp set I will be adding to my wish list.
so very pretty, love your work
Hi Becca
Your card is beautiful as always
I am like you sometimes I have to walk away and come
back to it before I can finish it
How do you get the Designer paper bigger for the size you need
I ordered some from the Etsy store where you got yours and it comes
on 1 sheet and is little instead of individual sheets that you can size
I am trying to make 1 of your cards and am really frustrated with the Designer paper & it isn’t cheap. I ordered 2 from her.
Please help so I can finish this card
Thank you
Beautiful card.
Great card Becca and loved the sentiment. Popped across to check out the set – fabulous. Hugs Christine xx
Those flowers are so beautiful and I love the card!
Hugs

Hi, Becca. I have been missing you.

Hello Becca
When you don’t show new cards I think that maybe you aren’t well !

I must try those flowers they are beautiful ..but read your tutorial carefully first!

Hi Becca!
Hope you had fun!
Was wondering if I had missed an email lol we miss when you don’t post.
Beautiful card as usual.
On your link the card that comes up is a filigree one and I don’t see this one being filigree am I missing something?

The colors are so soft and delicate not only on the paper but the flowers as well. I love the crunched look! I, too, have had problems with printing up the digital papers as LInda (9) referred to. The ones I looked at and purchased do not size down but come up huge … 81/2 x11. A little frustrating. So I think I must be missing something here. All said I love this card with the lace and all, too. Just beautiful Becca.
Hi Becca. Gorgeous card. Love the soft colours. Hugs xxx
Elegant setting for the sentiment. Thanks for using Quietfire Design!
I drool everytime I see your cards LOL
I love that sentiment! Just might have to order it; I know I’d use that particular one a lot.
Loving the card and the crunchy flowers .
God bless

Thank you for sharing so much with us XXX
Lovely card! Background paper is perfect!
Beautiful, just love the flowers but haven’t had a chance to try the tutorial yet, like the added touches to that sentiment tag and that is a very nice font on that, lovely background to the card!
Beautiful card Becca. I do love the scrunched flowers. Have a great weekend. x
Becca, I love your cards and am an avid follower. I have been trying to make your scrunched flowers, but at the moment without success. I was using a different die, but have now managed to source a set of Garden Blooms, so step 1. successful, next can you please tell me the paper weight/gms that you use and hopefully when I get them all together I will have lovely flowers too. xxx
