  • Rosie WaldtMay 10, 2013 - 12:29 pm

    Becca: I totally love your work and made the cute little box, now am working on the card (thx to you for the tutorial). I’m assuming you folded the cardstock to cut the card & didn’t cut the oval out. Did you cut a separate piece to place over the sentiment part and put the sentimate on that? Thx for your reply in advance.ReplyCancel

WRBF-3817-2013
Hello there blog friends!  You’ll note that I’m on a pink and peach kick, I don’t think it’s going to be over soon so I’ve just given in.  No doubt you get in that kind of mood.   Lately, I’ve fallen in step with a clean vintage look and my sewing machine is sitting across the room pouting.   I say go with it because it does wind down and then you fall in love with another color scheme and your sewing machine becomes your best friend again.  Today, a Get Well card for the stash using a phenomenal JustRite Papercrafts background called  Secret Garden Background Stamp and a sentiment from the Floral Thank You set.
WRBF-3818-2013
I heat embossed the background stamp then spread a wash of Victorian Velvet Distress inker to fill the crevices where there was bare paper.  Then, I cut one Spellbinders™ Medallion Eight and cut it in half to layer behind Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Nine.   The bottom of the card is bordered with Spellbinders™ A2 Bracket Borders One.   Pearls, of course – they’re always the icing :-)

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: JustRite Papercrafts – Secret Garden Background Stamp, Floral Thank You
Paper: Neenah Classic Crest – Natural White – 80lb Smooth, Coredinations
Ink:  Colorbox Pigment – Cocoa
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Medallion Eight, Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Nine, Spellbinders™ A2 Bracket Borders One, May Arts Silk Ribbon, Maya Roads Trinket Pin, Recollections Pearls, Becca’s Bow Maker, Crepe Paper, Button

Check back to see what requested video is coming soon!  In the meantime, bask in this glorious weather.  What are your outdoor plans?

    Hi, Becca,

    I was making a birthday card for my sister yesterday that I thought needed a little more oomph. I remembered that, on another card you had posted, you cut a die cut in half to layer as you have done with the medallion on this card. I tried that and it was just what the card needed. Thank you for blessing us not only with your gorgeous creations but with your ideas and techniques as well.ReplyCancel

  • Marcie SmithApril 29, 2013 - 4:29 am

    This background stamp is very deceiving. It sure looks a lot bolder as packaged, but really is very suttle when paired with pastel ink. I am really loving it. As for your pink mood, I guess I am in the same mood lately. Must be contagious. Maybe it is the fact that Spring has sprung in my neck of the woods. Whatever the case, I just can’t seem to get enough of it lately. Beautiful Card.

Hi there blog friends!  Not too long ago I received a reader request.  She said she didn’t know what to do with the new Spellbinders Gilded Gate die and asked me to show how I would use it.  Your wish is my command! :-)   I cannot find the original email but I hope you are still out there.  Now, there was only one gilded gate at the time the request was made and I’ve not been able to get my hands on it but I just recently got  Spellbinders™ Gilded Gate Two, and thought that it worked beautifully.   It.is.exquisite!   I started out with a card base cut from Spellbinders™ Grand Labels Twenty Three.  I cut the gate two times and glued them together to form the backing for my sweet sentiment from JustRite Papercrafts from the set called True Friends Vintage Labels Four.  Underneath the gate I layered Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals SM to give the panel some stability and also to frame the final oval I put on top of the design with my sentiment.  The card is 5.5″ wide by 4.25″ tall.
WRBF-3816-2013

Sweet flowers and some silk ribbon cover some of the behind the scenes goings on, like the join from the two gates.  A girls gotta do, what a girls gotta do…

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: JustRite Papercrafts – , True Friends Vintage Labels Four
Paper: Neenah Classic Crest -Solar White – 80lb Smooth, Prima Tea-Thyme
Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories: , Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals SM, Spellbinders™ Gilded Gate Two,  Spellbinders™ Grand Labels Twenty Three, May Arts Silk Ribbon, Recollections Pearls, Becca’s Bow Maker

Have a request for a die template you would like to see how I might use?  Tweet me!  I’m @AmazingPaperGr on Twitter.  I’ll add it to my list and see what I can come up with.

    Beautiful card, Becca. I think you have shared this before, but “I just don’t get it……lol” How do you make your shaped cards using the spellbinder dies. I understand when you don’t put the cs all the way at the top of the die, so you have an uncut portion at the top. But, how did you make this card where it looks like you have the whole die cut out. Sorry to be thick about this! (I don’t use Twitter by the way or I would have asked you there.)ReplyCancel

    Hi Joanna,
    Usually when I have a heavily filigreed die that I’m trying to make a card base from, it’s hard to cut two clean layers at once, so I use the technique shown in this video: https://www.amazingpapergrace.com/filigree-hinged-card-tutorial-and-a-giveaway/

    For the card above, it’s no problem to double my paper and cut through two layers cleanly for the card base. To give it yet a cleaner look, I die cut an additional Labels Twenty Three Layer and simply adhered it to the top of the card base.

    Hope this makes sense…. :-)ReplyCancel

    Thanks Becca for responding to my question. Probably going to need to invest in another die cutting machine!! Love working w/ the dies even if it takes extra time to remove the little pieces. Please design some more cool ones!ReplyCancel
