Dear Blog Friends, I hope you are ready for Christmas!!  Me?  Sadly no, lots left to do and quite a few deadlines looming but I thought I would take a second to post a card that I worked on during my downtime.  Ugh, decisions – I went through three versions of the background and reverted to the simplest – duh!  Anyways, while I’m busy on other things, thought I’d go ahead and post. :-)
Waltzingmouse Stamps had a fabulous, fabulous release this month and I couldn’t participate but it didn’t keep me from eventually getting this Ornate Ornaments set inky.  The set has matching stamps for Spellbinders™ 2012 Heirloom Ornaments and Spellbinders™ 2010 Heirloom Ornaments die templates, so I used both of those on my card.  I used Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals SM to cut frame openings in each of the ornaments  then seated my pearl pic and bow in the center.  I love the sweet little sentiment – I don’t have this one anywhere in my stash.  After cutting it out with Spellbinders™ Back to Basics Tags, I glued it to the center of the bow with linen thread.  The background is Spellbinders™ Ornamental Iron (Side A).  Lol, through all my trials with changing up the background, I found a new one – new to me at any rate.  Hope to have a card with that soon :-)

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Waltzingmouse Stamps – Ornate Ornaments
Paper: The Paper Company
Ink: Amuse – French Roast
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ 2012 Heirloom Ornaments, Spellbinders™ 2010 Heirloom Ornaments, Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals SM, Spellbinders™ Back to Basics Tags, Spellbinders™ Ornamental Iron (Side A), Organza Ribbon, Maya Roads Triple Pearl Pin, Darice Pearls, Recollections Flat Pearls

Happy crafting friends!  See you soon!!

    thank you for all your inspiration throughout the year,
    god Bless Yvonne xxReplyCancel

  • Georgia LindseyDecember 19, 2012 - 4:38 pm

    Becca, You are so talented. You can make one embosser look so different just by changing the placement of pearls, the color, and the paper. I envy your talent. You have said you have had some health issues and I pray for you every day but I am asking for additional blessings for you this Christmas. God bless you and thank you for sharing your talent with us. GeorgiaReplyCancel

Hello sweet blog friends!  Have you ever made a card and decided something just wasn’t right.  It nags you the whole time, but you plod along on the original course, laying it down, looking at it, picking it up, laying it down, glancing at it sideways . . .  You get the picture?  Happens to me all the time.  I’ve been waiting to use this sweet Die D-Lite Spellbinders™ Medallion One (can you say favorite?) and I knew it would be perfect to create a lacy background.  Once I was done, I was pleased with the look then started piling things on, and on, and on.  Long story short, when I was done, (including a huge panel with a sentiment on the front), you couldn’t see a bit of the gorgeously intricate work of the die.  It was a crime I tell ya!!  On the way to take pictures, I turned right back around and reconstructed.  The large sentiment – in the trash; small pennant, smaller sentiment – felt much better.  See, crime averted :-)

This one was really a cinch.  Using a 5″ x 5″  cream panel, I cut Medallions One – four times, embellishing with pearls.  To keep things from looking too boxy, I added scallops on the bottom using Spellbinders™ Classic Edges One.   I added a smaller sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs from the Away In A Manger Set; it fit wonderfully on Spellbinders™ Nested Pennants.   I added another light brown panel and secured everything to a 6″ x 6″ card base.   I finished up with some $1 Bin Poinsettia’s from Michaels.  

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Snowflake Sentiments
Paper: Coredinations
Ink: Amuse – Cranberry
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Medallion One, Spellbinders™ Classic Edges One, Spellbinders™ Nested Pennants, Hug Snug Seam Binding (cream), Button, Recollections Flat Pearls, Maya Roads Triple Pearl Pin, Michaels 1$ Bin Poinsettias

Thanks so much for stopping by!!  Sending big hugs!

  • kathy/NorthCarolinaDecember 18, 2012 - 3:05 pm

    So pretty, Becca…I think it would look even better if you placed your lovely flower over the medallion in the lower right hand corner and let the pennant flow from there. I think it would give it some ballast…there’s still something not quite balanced here….although it is beautiful!ReplyCancel

  • Rosy NewlunDecember 18, 2012 - 3:40 pm

    I’ll bet the first one was brilliant, too. But I get this problem on every card. This is stupendous, Becca – thanks for all your inspiration.ReplyCancel

  • Jan D.December 18, 2012 - 3:54 pm

    LOL….I r-e-a-l-l-y needed a good laugh today…thanks for making me laugh….been there, done that with overdoing it…sometimes I don’t know when to stop. Gorgeous card you made! The other one was probably just as pretty, but I understand what you are saying….I do that with background cardstocks….cover up too much of it to a point that I wonder why did I bother using it? LOL

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!ReplyCancel

  • AstridDecember 18, 2012 - 4:26 pm

    Well worth the re-work, this looks fabulous now! Love that stunning stickpin you used!!ReplyCancel

  • AnnieDecember 18, 2012 - 4:27 pm

    So pretty! I love it the way it is now though I have no doubt the other way was gorgeous too. But you’re right. It would be a shame to cover up such a beautiful design.ReplyCancel

  • FrancineDecember 18, 2012 - 4:46 pm

    Where is the nested pennant?
    I can imagine the situation when we are not happy whith the result ?…
    But when it is easy it is because another time it was difficult.
    I thing it is acquiring experience.
    You work hard but now your card is really nice.
    Thanks for sharing.ReplyCancel

  • Fran LDecember 18, 2012 - 5:28 pm

    Another beauty. You never cease to amaze me.
    I rethink, rework, and second guess nearly every card I make. Sometimes they get changed, but sometimes on second look they stay just as they are!
    So glad you are back with us. I missed you. Hoping you are feeling well.ReplyCancel

  • Edna BurgessDecember 18, 2012 - 5:50 pm

    I have done that also. But your end result is beautiful. Just the right amount of things on it. And the die is great. EdnaReplyCancel

  • Ilene AtarianDecember 18, 2012 - 6:06 pm

    Just beautiful – – as usual. I know how that goes when you keep looking at what you have done and something isn’t quite right. I’ve had cards sitting for over a week that I keep “peeking” at to see if something has changed. Not sure if I think a “card fairy” will come and fix something or what but I sure can relate to the feeling. You are amazing!!ReplyCancel

  • Beth EllisDecember 18, 2012 - 10:23 pm

    So very glad you avoided prosecution for the terrible crime of “something not being quite right”! Have been there and done that as well. Sometime I just have to let the card sit there overnight and wait for the new day to inspire me to correct whatever the error was. Funny how the dawn of a new day can give you inspiration. Guess you don’t always have that luxury if you are trying to meet a deadline. Anyway, I am so happy that your recent surgery did nothing to take away your great sense of humor. Blessings & Hugs.ReplyCancel

  • Juanita BakerDecember 18, 2012 - 10:24 pm

    It’s comforting to know that even the best of the designers struggle at times, I had a good chuckle at your description of how things just weren’t right. I am going through the same thing this very morning making a card for one of my brothers….. hope mine comes out at least half as nice as yours did.

Sweet blog friends, I hope you are embarking on a fabulous Monday!!   Me? There are lots of little projects on my desk and I’m having a distracted time trying to make myself finish off some pressing deadlines before jumping on another idea that pops into my head.  Ever have that happen to you?  While I was taking a break over the weekend it dawned on me that every Christmas I make a simple red and white card.  I just love the pop of the color, so I cranked this out very quickly.  It’s much simpler than what I normally make but I didn’t want it to get complicated, keeping the color the focal point.  My sweet friend Suzanne with Quietfire Design put some amazing Christmas Stamps in my hand this season and this one was calling out to be framed – Christmas Waves a Magic Wand.   
I started out with a white card base and added the fully embossed motif from Spellbinders™ M-Bossabilities™ Winter Wonders (Side B).  I mounted the embossed panel, matted with red onto my card base.  Using Spellbinders™ Marvelous Squares and the second and third largest templates, I created my frame.   I lined my frame with a negative cutout left over from cutting Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Six – taking care to make sure that none of the red showed on the outside of my frame.  Next, I added a layer of foam tape under each layer to elevate the frame and give it some depth.  Lastly a big bow :-)  Many of you ask how I tie them, and would you be surprised if I told you that 99% of the bows I make are made using the Peg Bow Maker?  It  comes with a DVD that shows the double and triple bows I make – mystery solved!!

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Quietfire Design – Christmas Waves a Magic Wand
Paper: Bazill
Ink: Amuse – Cranberry
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Marvelous Squares, Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Six, Spellbinders™ M-Bossabilities™ Winter Wonders (Side B), Peg Bow Maker, Ribbon, Recollections Pearls

You so make me smile!  Happy Monday Friends!

    OOooo, Becca! The beautiful red and white – perfect for the Christmas season. And it is ideal with your sentiment. We are expecting snow this evening…the world does become softer and more beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration.ReplyCancel

    Stunning card, Becca. I love the simplicity of the colour scheme, but then you showcase those two colours with the beauty of the die cuts. I just have to make this one. Many thanks.ReplyCancel

    It is so beautiful Becca, and maybe it´s kept very simple, but it´s still very very gorgeous. I really like this one a lot.ReplyCancel

    My first thought was the simple beauty! Then I thought, “Wait, Becca doesn’t do simple!” LOL! But with all the wonderful layers, die-cutting, embossing and ribbon, it’s not all that simple! Just simply beautiful! :o)ReplyCancel

    Happy Monday to you Becca! I took one look at your red and white card and I said “OMG, I love this, and NEED to buy that embossing folder!” It is now on order, along with the pine tree folder, plus three others! Your card is absolutely gorgeous and strikingly beautiful. The first of the year when I start making my cards for 2013 (that’s what I’m saying now) I’ll be trying my best to duplicate your card. Thanks so much for sharing Becca, I always look forward to your posts.ReplyCancel
