Card Making Ideas from Becca Feeken using Quietfire Design - Learn to Write Your Hurts and Spellbinders
Happy weekend friends, today I have a card to share using a sentiment I love from Quietfire Design.  The sentiment is called “Learn to Write Your Hurts in the Sand”; pulled proudly from my stash when I realized I’ve never used it before.  It does me as well stamping it and turning the meaning over in my mind as it does sending it out to someone who welcomes the message — does that happen to you when you stamp.?  I think a huge part of why we stamp is empathy – we know how we feel when we get a meaningful card and the sentiment resonates with us – at least that’s how I operate :-)  In the scheme of things this is an easier card than most – instead of my normal layers, I covered my focal panel with a piece of sheer fabric that is edged with lace.  Beyond that I added Spellbinders Window Three, flowers made from Spellbinders Rose Creations and wonderful tendrils from Spellbinders Sprigs (love!!)

WRBF-3998-2013

Here’s your Step By Step Recap of die cuts and layers, from the bottom up:  Start out with a Card Base  7-1/2″ tall by 5-1/2″ wide (or see how to make that size with the Hinge Technique HERE) , foam tape, white matting panel cut to 7-1/8″ x 5″, cover with lace fabric and sentiment stamped on the bottom, foam tape, die cut layer using Windows Three, 7 flowers created with Rose Creations and Sprigs. As always, stack, position ribbon, pearls, flowers and bow on correct layer, admire, then glue!

CRAFT SUPPLIES I USED
Rubber Stamps: Quietfire Design – Learn to Write Your Hurts in the Sand
Craft Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80lb
Ink: amuse – Seattle and Pebble
Accessories: Spellbinders Sprigs, Spellbinders Rose Creations, Spellbinders Window Three, Recollection Pearls, May Arts Silk Ribbon, Lace, Grand Calibur Die Cut Machine

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Hope you’re have a sweet and wonderful day!

    WAUW Becca, this is just another really gorgeous creation this week. Sooooo beautiful and those words are so true, and I wish all people knew them and would live after them, then this world would be sooo much better for many others too. Really gorgeous work. I love the lace fabric, but it´s sooo hard to find here these days, and I have looked for it for other projects, where I wanted to use it, because I think, it´s soooo cool for romantic works.
    Hope you´re having a wonderful week-end too hun and look after your self too.ReplyCancel

    Hi, Becca! I’ve been away for a while. My dh had open heart surgery and we’ve been busy recovering and adjusting to our new “normal.” Had to pop over this morning to see what you’ve been up to and found this glorious creation. It’s heavenly…all that white and those gorgeous roses. Love the sentiment, too. Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving!ReplyCancel

  • Norah McPheeNovember 27, 2013 - 12:21 pm

    Hi Becca,
    I missed this one and i don’t know how as my inbuilt radar normally sends the finger to your blog each morning after i’ve been onto Sue’s blog. What a stunningly beautiful but simplistic card you have designed. I have to agree with what you say about sentiments as before i tried my hand at making cards, i got fed up trying to find one that said what i wanted it to say, hence the reason i think i took up making them. This one would make a beautiful wedding card especially if it was a low key affair that the couple were having. A card can say a million words with just a few of them, saying it all.
    Love and crafty hugs

  • Charlotte ZweigoronDecember 6, 2013 - 7:07 am

    Beautiful, Becca…. I do love white on white and, like you, find great meaning in that sentiment. If I could buy all the sentiments that I love, I’d be swimming in them (and broke) !! Which reminds me, we’ve seen one little spot in your crafting area… how about a full tour sometime?ReplyCancel

Altered Purse by Becca Feeken using Spellbinders Celtic Knot
Hi there friends, today I’m showing something that started out as a card and ended up as something else.  Lol, you’ll be interested to know that this was something I put together in way less time than it normally takes me to make an original card.  I’ve been dying to use Spellbinders Celtic Knot with all that luscious texture.  Once I embossed it on gold Art Foil Board and buffed it to the degree I liked, I decided the texture was way too pretty to cover up this time (maybe next time).  So, out with a small wooden purse  purchased at Michaels for a couple of dollars, my favorite gold Krylon Short Cuts Paint and ScorTape Sheet Adhesive.  I spray painted the box and it was dry and ready to use in less than 15 minutes.  I traced the purse on to my embossed panel and ScorTape Sheet Adhesive then cut them out.  I applied the ScorTape to the painted purse then laid the embossing on top of the adhesive and pressed it down good with my fingertips to anchor it.  I finished it off with a fob made using Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Bronze  and Spellbinders Squares One mixed media bezels by Susan Lenart Kazmer.  Both bezels are spray painted with the same paint (takes about 3 minutes before they are ready to handle) and one is filled with a pearl while the other was filled with hot glue before spray painting and then embellished with a pearl.

Edited to add:  Purse stands 6″ tall including handle and is roughly 6-1/2″ wide.

All that, in a little over an hour…

Craft Paper: None

Paper Cone by Becca Feeken using Waltzingmouse Stamps - Compliments of the Season Two (close)
We’re cooking with Christmas on the front burner now!!  Welcome to Day 4 of A Waltzingmouse Christmas.  Today we’re sharing Christmas Decorations!!  As I have mentioned, I’m starting from scratch on my Christmas tree this year and I’m simply not finding the types of things I want locally so I’ve been playing around with a limited set of decorations and ornaments I can make myself.  One of the decorations I’ve had on my mind are the vintage cones that hang from the tree.  This one is large enough to hold a small gift and I have candy in this one.  For my skinny pencil tree I’d have to go much smaller, but I’m pretty much there!  For my square cone I’m using a regal looking stamp from Waltzingmouse Stamps called Compliments of the Season Two  Claire provides the digital cutting files for this set free ——> HERE.

WRBF-3993-2013

I simply cut the digital file in burgundy and embossed in gold then cut a matting layer from gold.   The luscious trim on the top is from A Gilded Life and a small piece of velvet ribbon threaded through jumbo eyelets gives me a way to hang it up.

Paper Cone by Becca Feeken using Waltzingmouse Stamps - Compliments of the Season Two
I added a tassel and bow to the bottom :-)

CRAFT SUPPLIES I USED
Rubber Stamps: Waltzingmouse Stamps – Compliments of the Season Two
Craft Paper: Coredinations, Simple Stories – Handmade Holidays
Ink: Versamark and gold embossing powder, brushed corduroy distress ink
Accessories: Compliments of the Season Freebies, Velvet Ribbon, Paper Source Gold Ribbon, Tassel, Cousin Crystal, Darice Pearl, two eyelets, A Gilded Life trim.

    Oh so pretty Becca. Homemade is always so special. Is your cone from a die or just a pattern on paper? I do the rounded cones but like this for a change. Thanks for sharing,ReplyCancel

    Ok, I’m going to claim stupidity, but what are the dimensions of the cone? How’d you make the cone? I would love to make one for each of the kids at Christmas time. Please share?!ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca,

    These cones were often used in Victorian times to hold little flower arrangements or candies and they call them Tussie Mussies. This is really lovely. It would make a great wedding favour filled with sugared almonds.ReplyCancel
