Sweet Blog Friends! What happened is that I had a million projects in process got sidetracked. This was my week to get back on track so I have a tag to show you that I finished this week.  I love tags and don’t know why I don’t sit down with them more often!  They are smaller than a card and you can get away with breaking lots of rules – you can pretty  much do what you want to do. This is a new JustRite Papercrafts set that you’ll see more of next week and I couldn’t resist the urge to jump in with a little sneak peek to calm your heart that there are Christmas stamps coming. This set called Noel Christmas Ornaments matches all of your favorite Spellbinders Ornaments from your stash.  I’m using Spellbinders™ 2010 Heirloom Ornament and Spellbinders 2012 Heirloom Ornament.  I’ve paired them up with some sweet little roses from Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms and for my background one of the new templates – Spellbinders S5-152 Fancy Lattice (heart be still, I think this one tops my favorites list).

I cut and embossed Fancy Lattice and added it to my background then cut my rose ribbon trim diagonally to match the size of my tag.  Stamped, cut then embossed both ornaments and popped them up for dimension.  After distressing some Cameo Beige seam binding, glued a figure eight peg bow to the top of my tag.  Bitty Blossoms is one of my all time favorites, I cut and rolled the two smallest flowers, distressed them and added to the bottom of the tag with a couple of leaves.  Ok, I call all of that therapy :-)

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: JustRite Papercrafts – Noel Christmas Ornaments
Paper: K and Company, Neenah Classic Crest Natural White 80 lb
Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink – Chocolate Roan, Charcoal, Amuse – Cranberry, Vintage Photo Distress Ink, Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink, Victorian Velvet Distress Ink
Accessories: Spellbinders™ 2010 Heirloom Ornament, Spellbinders 2012 Heirloom Ornament, Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms, Spellbinders S5-152 Fancy Lattice, seam binding, Prima Lace, Pearl Pic, Recollections Pearls, Michaels Rose Ribbon

Busy times!  Thanks for stopping by, see you soon!!

    Therapy is the right word, Becca. The joy of creating is definitely therapy. Especially when you do it so well…! The paper crafting community itself is theraputic. What a wonderful collection of people always willing to share and be supportive. Could you ever have suspected that your collection of craft supplies gathering dust in a corner would bring you to where you are today? I know it means the world to me and how much more it must mean to you. God Bless…ReplyCancel

Two cards in one day?  Yes, I’ve been creating!  I hope you’re off to a good weekend – I wanted to hop in and share something that popped into my mind for a simple Thank You card.   Earlier in the week I made a card using the new Spellbinders™ Les Papillion and since I had not used the dies before, I cut all four butterflies at once.  It left me with a sheet with four negative holes and I thought hmmmm, I wonder if that will make a good card front.  Well I did go back and tidy things up to give it a try.  Yep, this is simple.  To keep things straight and tidy, I cut my square layers using Spellbinders™ Grand Squares then cut the butterflies next. I then tied a center crossing bow and I finished off by hanging a tiny tag from the bow using Spellbinders™  S4-367 Back to Basics Tags.  

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Thank You Sentiments
Paper: Graphic 45, Bazzill
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Les Papillion (new), Spellbinders™  S4-367 Back to Basics Tags (new), Recollections Rhinestone Stickers, ribbon, linen thread

Enjoy your weekend!!  Thanks for stopping by, see you soon!!

Greetings Blog Friends!!  What a busy day it has been.  You’ll find this hard to believe but I can count the number of masculine cards I’ve made in the last couple of years on two hands. I guess the planets have aligned because I’m back with another masculine card.  Yikes!  They are the tough ones because I can’t simply slather pearls and lace on them but for those of you who thanked me for the brief break from pink – this is for you!  Waltzingmouse Stamps welcomes a new release and this set is called My Island.  I love the sentiment You Bring Me Sunshine – it’s so very true!

The rays of sunshine are framed in Spellbinders™ Card Creator S5-136 A2 Fancy Weave.  I simply tucked it under my burlap ribbon and embellished the bottom with pearls.  To corral my ribbon I used Spellbinders™ S5-138 Octagon Strips and Accents and simply wove the loose ends of my bow up and down through the available openings.  I finished off with a masculine embellishment at the bottom – not a flower, but a piece from Spellbinders™ Ribbon Buckles.  That’s it short and sweet – this goes in the pile for when some occasion calls for a guy card!

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps:  Waltzingmouse Stamps – My Island (Available July 1)
Paper: K&Company, American Crafts, Recollections Kraft
Ink: Wild Honey Distress Ink, Memento Rich Cocoa
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Card Creator S5-136 A2 Fancy Weave (new), Spellbinders™ S5-138 Octagon Strips and Accents (new), Spellbinders™ Ribbon Buckles, Recollections Pearls, Satin Ribbon, Burlap Ribbon

(New Spellbinders die templates ship in August)

    A really beautiful card, that any male would be proud to recieve, that´s for sure, so why you don´t so more, is a riddle to me??? You could do loads of this kind and make them look just as gorgeous I´m sure.

    Becca, I really like this card,especially the burlap ribbon. Perfect for a guy. I can’t help but wonder what it would look like without the bow. I think, for a guy, it might work even better without it. Everything is so perfectly paired: paper, burlap, stamps, etc. You really are an artist!ReplyCancel

  • ANN ROBBINSJune 30, 2012 - 6:19 am

    The burlap sure makes the masculine feature. This can definitely be a problem thinking of things for a male card. My man is into old cars so I use stamps I have for him. His birthday is in July so I may use the burlap effect ~ think he would like that. Thanks for sharing and love 2 cards in one day. You hhave been busy, girlie. Bless you and your talented hands!

    I have seen a lot of talk lately about the difficulty of man-cards. I agree, it is a stretch… but once I get into it, it opens a whole new door… and, I love to peek into new corners and see what I can do! Probably the hardest part is that men don’t tend to gush over our efforts the way our lady friends do… it goes with the territory, I suppose. I do notice that my husband keeps every single card I make for him and seems protective of them. That’s gotta be a good thing in a man’s world. My grandsons are most impressed and expressive when I make them a card with something they think is only part of their world, like Steam Punk or Grunge. Grandma does Steam Punk?! That’s impressive!!ReplyCancel

    I sure cannot wait to get my hands on that card creator set. You have really put that set to a lot of inspiring use, and I love how you worked it in to this card. Fabulous card, Becca.ReplyCancel
