 
Hiya Friends! Jumping in to share a card after being MIA for a bit. April is passing so quickly but since the last time I was here, the flu bug, spring fever, cleaning (everything), conquering clutter and some home renovations we’re all vying for my attention. I surrender – with the exception of the flu bug I had, I loved the change of pace and have a couple of ‘wins’ to my credit. I’m sharing a card today using a sweet sentiment from Quietfire Design called A Smile That You Send Out I used Spellbinders Antique Corner to create filigree accents on two corners of my card. Then I threaded some satin ribbon on the diagonal and embellished it with a bow then nestled Spellbinders Majestic Labels One in the center. A couple of pearls to finish it all off!
Card Dimensions: 6″ x 6″
Loving every second I get to spend outdoors right now! I hope you are savoring spring too!
Hi there sweet friends! Thank you for requesting a tutorial on the earring holder I shared on March 30th, I’m happy to oblige!!
I love DIY and after doing this project I’m reminded not to be so stubborn in getting out my tools to make a great gift. I have to ‘make’ myself paint things, but once done I realize it’s no more involved than coloring seam binding. Yes, my friends and family love getting cards and such, but to change up and give them a decorative gift or even better – a functional gift – well, that’s a welcome change. This is an easy project – no great mechanical skills are necessary or I would not have been able to do it either :-) Let’s get started! (By the way, if you want to pin the tutorial in it’s entirety, that pin is HERE).

Hiya friends! I thought I would bring some color into the world today. I came upon a pearlescent pad of paper in my stash and combined several colors with a stunning pattern from K & Company. It was a wonderful palette to use the new JustRite Stitched Circles Background. I used it in a subtle way to add texture to my design paper. Because the design on the stamp is so airy, this will be a fabulous one to layer over top of so many things with not too much risk of it becoming busy. Digging through my stash, I found a silver pearl embossing powder from a long gone stamp company – but I’m sure someone makes an up to date version.
Along with the gorgeous medallion stamp from the Congrats Vintage Labels Three and Seven Set , there are quite a few large sentiments – I picked ‘congrats”. The medallion is cut using Spellbinders Labels Thirty Two and the sentiment is stamped on Vintage Labels Seven.
You Can Make This Card Too: Start out with a cream hinged card base sized 6″ x 7-1/2″. Here are the rest of the layers from the bottom up. Pumpkin panel cut to 5-3/8″ x 6-5/8″ – adhere to card base using foam tape. Matted panel from gold cut to 4-7/8″ x 6-1/8″ and stamped design paper cut to 4-3/4″ x 6″. Add lace and satin ribbon. Using largest die cut from Labels Thirty Two, stamp and heat emboss medallion – adhere to base using foam tape. Add die cut layer using Vintage Labels Seven stamped with sentiment – adhere to base using foam tape. Add bow in lower left of Labels Thirty two die. Embellish with pearls and add stick pin.

Lovely to see you back on the Blog, and hope you are recovering from all the ills that you have been through!
This is a beautiful card and I adore the Satin Ribbon really enhances your creation!
Take care
Love Marg
Love the way you have wrapped the ribbon over the corners. Looks stunning! A gorgeous card. Hope you have recovered from your viral illness. Hugs Christine x
I have fallen in love with this card becca , the ribbon over the corners is just superb along with the pearls.

Oh my goodness Becca, this is just soooo gorgeous too. Sooo simple to make, but yet soooo beautiful. I love it, thanks soooo much for your inspiration always, you´re sooo amazing lady.
Have a very Happy Easter now sweet friend.
Good morning Becca,
What a beautiful card you have made for our delight today and with a beautiful colour of ribbon across it. You have been missed when you went off the radar, so i hope a part from the flu you are all sorted and we can see your wonderful creations once more. Take care and i hope you are having a fantastic day,
Love and crafty hugs

Love this card…so pretty
Love this – it’s a must try! so eye catching and love the diagonal ribbon. I met Sue Wilson at Ally Pally in London on Saturday and we chatted about you and your amazing bows – were your ears burning? – I am trying to find your bowmaker and DVD here in the UK – I’ve tracked down the UK supplier but they dont have any and dont know when they will be getting any more – boohoo – please can you shed any light on this? Yesterday I tied my first tripple using organza ribbbon – it’s’ not perfect (like yours are) but I think with a bit more practice and attention to detail I could get there or at least something passable! Happy easter and hope you are feeling much better – the flu bug can take quite a while to fully recover from – so take it easy for a while – ha!
Beautiful card and the sentiment is lovely. Glad you are back to crafting
Love the diagonal ribbon treatment on this card – hope you feel better and don’t overdo it for a while, it’s surprising how much flu takes out of you. Happy Easter!
Love the way you have done the ribbon. Hope you are on the mend. That flu bug is a nasty little critter!
Hope you have a happy Easter…

Hi Becca,
Sorry to hear you’ve been unwell and I trust you are feeling a lot better! What a beautiful card! I, like everyone else, love what you have done with the ribbon! Will have to give that a go!
We have had lovely sunshine here and that showed all the dirt on the inside of my windows! So I’ve been cleaning windows like someone possessed! Hope it makes me thinner!
Wishing you and your family a very Happy Easter.
God Bless,
Love Myra

Hi Becca! Beautiful card!! I love every thing about it. The way you did the ribbon and pearls, wow!! Loves, Ruthie
Beautiful card
Elegant and classy as usual! I do love your work, and I wish I could afford to have all those Spellbinder dies and transform all my work into works of art. However, the going outside to spend time is not happening just yet where I live…maybe in another few weeks I’ll be able to venture out there for longer than it takes to get into the car!
Lovely card & colours
I got a chance to work with Linda Strawn in Ashton, Idaho and we had a grand time following some of your wonderful tutorials. Now I am at home in American Fork, Utah. I will be following you on my own. For some reason, I think you live pretty close to me. Answer only if you care to, of course. I am an 81 year old Grandma who has been blessed to “stamp, ETC.” for 20 years. Thank you for all you do for all of us. Sincerely, MaryCarolyn Stoy
I love the softness of this beautiful card. As always,, it is a work of art and I am inspired by your creation. I am also happy to hear you are feeling better.. Having had a bug myself, I know how good it feels when you begin to recover.
Hi Becca, This card is stunning, beautiful colours, a truly stunning card.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Just beautiful Becca!
Oh, this card is sooo girlie! It’scheerful. I’d savor Spring more if it was actually Spring here. Sadly, the door on my car was iced shut and my friend living north of the Twin Cities got 9 inches of snow. Thanks, I really needed girlie, cheerful today!
Hi Becca,
Missed you, but the wait is such a beautiful card ,you sure know how to just use ribbons and a few die cuts and you come up with some thing so lovely.. I wish spring would come still lots of snow, and we got some more on Tuesday but this weekend its to be a little warmer so should melt some of it.
Have a great weekend and a nice Easter.
labels one is my fav of all my dies.
Thanks for using Quietfire stamps- so lovely!
What a beautiful card Becca. My favourite colours too.
Stay well.
It’s such a sweet and pretty card. Thanks for the inspiration.

Becca will you be at the stamping convention here in Ohio again next weekend?? I realized that is where I met you the first time when you were selling your bow makers.
Hope to see you again!
Love it, Love it, Love it !! Thanks for the inspiration as always.
