Sweet Blog Friends, I’m wishing you happiness today!  Yes, believe it or not, I’m back with another card.  As you can see, I indulged in everything I love . . . pink, pearls, lace, silk and filigree.  That’s why we craft though, right?  Seriously this card is nothing like the inspiration I had or wandhat I originally started out with – absolutely every part of it has been changed out!!   Sometimes that happens – so today, I was of the mindset to just go with it :-)  After I decided to use the lace, I mimicked the shape along the bottom with Spellbinders™ Classic Edges Two and stamped the matching border using JustRite Papercrafts Classic Lace Edges Two.  Since I didn’t want to cover up the wide lace, I cut a medallion using JustRite Custom Nest Oval Medallion Label Dies and framed it out using Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals SM and stamped using the matching stamp from the Botanical Medallions and Banners set.  The sentiment fits perfectly on my two layers using Spellbinders™ Fancy Tags Two.  I finished off by adding an embellishing swirl with Spellbinders™ Twisted Metal Tags and Accents.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: JustRite Papercrafts – Classic Lace Edges Two, Botanical Medallions and Banners
Paper: My Minds Eye, Neenah Classic Crest Cream, Coredinations
Ink: Victorian Velvet Distress Ink
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Classic Edges Two, Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals SM,  Botanical Medallions and Banners, Spellbinders™ Fancy Tags Two, Spellbinders™ Twisted Metal Tags and Accents, Silk Ribbon, Recollections Pearls, Pearl Pic, Lace

Today I’ve added a button on my sidebar for a subscription to my YouTube videos.  Not all videos are published here so be sure to subscribe to be notified of all new videos as soon as they are uploaded :-)  In the meantime, thank you for letting me indulge with all the pink and frills – I’ll be back tomorrow morning with some new stamps to show.  In the meantime, I want to hug you for stopping by today!!

    Becca, I’ve been following you for a couple of months now. I just have to tell you that you have the “most beautiful” cards I’ve ever seen. I made my first card in January of this year so I’m still pretty new. I hope that someday I could even come close to making beautiful cards like you. You totally rock!ReplyCancel

    I just love to see your cards. They are so beautiful. I have not been able to do the stamping I would like in the last year as I have been battling cancer and it looks like I will have to start another round. I put my faith in the lord to cure me. Thanks again for your beautiful cards.ReplyCancel

Good morning friends :)  I’m popping in to share a card with one of my favorite colorways.  I’m not sure when the inspiration grabbed me, perhaps I was looking at my coffee or thinking about creamy chocolate when that “go” button clicked in my mind for a tone on tone card with cream and brown.  It’s one of my favorites for sure and I’d like to think that the colors are classic.   I pulled out one of the new sets by JustRite Papercrafters along with the die template made to match – Botanical Medallions and Banners along with the matching die template – Nested Oval Medallions.  I paired it up with Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Two and Spellbinders™ Floral Flourishes.  The filigree background is done with a border punch using the technique I demonstrate HERE.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: JustRite Papercrafters  – Botanical Medallions and Banners,  Nested Oval Medallions
Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Cream, Bazzill
Ink: Amuse – French Roast
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Two, Spellbinders™ Floral Flourishes, seam binding, lace, Spare Parts Flowers, Pearl Pic, Satin Ribbon, Recollections Pearls, EK Success Border Punch


Since it’s a very rare occasion for me to make an A2 card – I decided to whip up a quick one.  My favorite card size is 5″ x 7″ but this little one was a lot of fun.  It was precisely the amount of real estate I wanted for the small sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs in their Dream Set.  I added a couple of store bought doilies as a layer then added a distressed flower and some seam binding.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Dreams
Paper: My Minds Eye
Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink – Rose Coral
Accessories:  Seam Binding, Pearl Brad, Silk Flower, doilies

I’m in a crafty mood today, how about you?  I’m wishing you both a creative and rewarding day.  See you tomorrow and thanks so much for stopping by!!

    My day is made – two Becca cards to drool over. I have a big weakness for tone on tone cards and your coffee with cream creation is a masterpiece. It stands up and demands to be noticed. And we do.

    I also have a weakness for pink and the sentiment from ODBD. Indeed, I just happen to have received the Dream set a couple of weeks ago and love it to bits. You set off the sentiment beautifully, as you always do.ReplyCancel

  • Beth PMay 30, 2012 - 3:36 pm

    I really like this colorway, too. But its all the other things that you add that make your cards so special.
    I have a question for you, Becca…you mention in today’s post that you may have been drinking your coffee and that could have inspired this card, but my question is..do you have parts of cards, maybe backgrounds, bows, flowers etc already made up to put together later? Do you have days where you just make parts of cards in different colors to be added to different cards later?
    thank you
    JulieReplyCancel

    • Becca FeekenMay 30, 2012 - 11:33 pm

      In reply to JulieB on Comment#24 – I truly am a frugal stamper, I save everything and if something didn’t work for the card I’m working on – it goes in the bow basket, the die cut basket or the embellie basket for a gig on another card or project. For this card the filigree background, the bow and the Labels Twenty Two die cut came out of one of my baskets of cast offs. In any case, it is never foresight (as in making things in advance) it is aftersight (as in oh gosh, I can’t let that go) :-)ReplyCancel

Good morning blog friends!  I confess, it is no secret that I’m partial to background stamps! Recently I received a couple of background stamps from JustRite Papercrafts and besides the Fleurista Newsprint Background Stamp that I’ve used several times this month, I fell in love with the Heart Scroll Background Stamp.  It’s huge and it has a very large motif with bold lines – I immediately wondered how it would look overstamped or combined with another background stamp.  I experimented with colors and came up with a double stamped background that I really like.  It’s an easy technique and I give you the 1, 2, 3 and additional pictures at the bottom of my post.

My card is a simple two layer card.  I let the beauty of the double stamping show as much as possible.  


I also used JustRite Papercrafts Summer Words for the sentiment.  Both the flag and the heart in the upper left corner were cut using – Vintage Labels and Banner Dies 

So in my mind the jury is in . . . because the Heart Scroll background has big bold elements – I think it will work in tandem with many of the other JustRite Stampers Backgrounds  :-) You can click on the three thumbnails below to see the sequence to coordinating a double stamped background.,
    
1.  Stamp your first background stamp with distress  ink – when picking your two stamps be sure to test them before going on to the real thing.  I try to pick a small print and a large print for the overstamping.

2.  Stamp your second background stamp using embossing powder, then emboss with clear embossing powder.

3.  Using a distress in sponge, smudge over the embossed cardfront using an ink of your choice.  This is the resulting panel you’ll get.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps:  JustRite Papercrafts – Heart Scroll Background Stamp, Fleurista Newsprint Background Stamp,  Summer Words 
Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Cream, Bazzill, Versamark
Ink: Victorian Velvet Distress Ink, Vintage Photo Distress Ink
Accessories: .Vintage Labels and Banner Dies, Clear Embossing Powder, Lace, Seam Binding, Twine, Paper Doily, Safety pin, pearls, flowers, gauze

 

Thanks for stopping by, see you soon!!

    I have been on the road for a week so haven’t posted but with iPad with me have definitely stayed in touch. This absolutely elegant! I have managed to look at all your blogs – would never miss one. So inspiring but I broke my grand Calibur before I left so sent it out for repair the dY before I left so should be back in another week. I hope! TFS, Becca!

    Love this elegant card. I”ve done the double stamping with the Impression Obsession Cover A Card stamps, but never thought of doing the 2nd layer with versamark & embossing. Great idea, and I’m off to try it. Thanks for the lovely card and the super technique. Have a good week. HugsReplyCancel

    Becca, bless your heart. You know, one day about a week ago, I found this card on some site and I do not know where I was. It has been on my mind and in my heart since. I tried to find it again and with no luck Tonight, after seeing my emails, I decided to check in on you. And here it is. Thank you Lord!! He is so faithful. And you are so blessed. Now I have the answers I needed about this card. And I have been reading and reading all the comments to you and your followers love you, honey. And so do I. But then we have a common bond. We both love our creator. I am, your sister in Christ, Bonnie.ReplyCancel
