I’ve always been infatuated with fine craftsmen and their art.  When you think about the time that goes into any labor of love is it any wonder what ordinary people can do?  Wanna see something kinda cool?  Just like the tools we crafters use get automated over the years, that happens in every discipline.  Things get easier to make!  The picture above is the facility that made the Becca Peg Bow Makers.  Once I saw the set up, I realized the precision that went into making each one alike!  It’s computerized, kind of like a Cricut except with wood, lol!!

So, just a quick post to let you know that Becca’s Peg Bow Makers have landed!! Several of you could not wait to get them out of the box and have set them up and tied some bows (I have the pictures to prove it!!)   Thanks for letting me know that you’re getting them and most of all thanks for the positive feedback.  A couple of people have had questions about the pegs or the DVD’s so I thought I’d post an answer in case you ponder the same question.

If you detect any resistance  on your first set up, this is normal, simply tap the pegs into place with a mallet or something non-destructive like a piece of wood.   With use, the pegs will conform to the holes without being too loose – just like a favorite pair of jeans that eventually mold to your body.

The Pegs are made by a precision piece of automated equipment, as are the holes. They are designed for an extemely tight fit in the holes so that there is no play in the pegs whatsoever.  This is so you make a nice consistent bow every time.  Because the span of temperatures that bowmaker goes through to get to your location, there’s always a chance that the wooden pegs expand or contract.

I’ve also answered some questions about the DVD . . .

If you are using it on your computer, take a second to reconfirm that your computer plays DVD’s and not just CD’s.  Sometime you have a combined DVD/CD player and sometimes they are not combined.  

If you’re not familiar with Becca’s Peg Bow Maker, hit Buy Now the link on my right hand sidebar and it will zoom you to the location with the details as well as a contact button if you have any purchase questions!

Happy Bow Making!  I can hardly wait to see what you create!


Happy Leap Day!!  I’ll be back later on in the day for the last day of the Waltzingmouse Releases.  All those goodies go into the store for purchase midday in the US, so be sure to consult the Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog to see when things go live in your time zone.

Hi there blog friends!   We are to Day Three of releases for the Waltzingmouse Stamps February sets.  Today we’re introducing two more new sets – Compact Sentiments and Heritage Patterns.   I couldn’t resist stamping out the harlequin pattern to use for my background on Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Three!  For the rest of my card I went with tones of an aqua that has some gray or blue in it, and was able to work it into the flowers made with Spellbinders™ Bitty Blossoms.


I loved the contrast of the white so I also used some embellishing curls from Spellbinders™ Floral Flourishes.  For my sentiment I simply cut a banner and snipped the ends, then stamped and curled up the edges.  Compact Sayings is one of those stash must haves – the sayings will take you through quite a few occasions!

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps:  Waltzingmouse Stamps – Compact Sentiments & Heritage Patterns
Paper:  Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80 lb cover,  American Crafts 
Ink: Versacolor – Laurel Leaf
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Floral Flourishes, Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Three, Spellbinders™ Bitty Blossoms, Lace, Cosage Pins, Recollections Pearls, Satin Ribbon, Clear Embossing Powder

Here are the design team members who have creations to share today.  I hope you can pop in and have a peek at what they have been working on!!

And in it, because I was one of the lucky first 100 buyers, was a beeeeee-ooooooo-utiful card handmade by none other than Ms. Becca herself.

    So first, I need to say THANK YOU to you, Becca, for sharing your glory with us, in all you do. You are one of the world’s brightest gems.

    Second, and no less of a compliment, this card shown here is luscious! I love the soft colors and the beautiful flowers and WMS stamps. Thank you for all you share!!

    I LOVE this color. I am usually all about crisp pastels; no “muddy” colors as I tend to call them. But this one has me… I even bought some little floral pieces in this color to use as soon as the opportunity presents itself. Your use of the crisp white makes it look so fresh. I love it!

    Didn’t see where to comment on the operation of your bow maker company. I’ll save this and show it to my son who built me my bow maker when you first had it as know he’ll enjoy seeing it. How wonderful you found someone to make them as not everyone has someone to do it for them. EdnaReplyCancel

  • LizFebruary 29, 2012 - 10:14 am

    Love this card! Just my opinion about the bowmaker. I don’t like putting things together and no hubby to do it for me. Honestly, if the thing was already put together, I’d buy it. I know it would cost more with shipping. You might think about making that an option?ReplyCancel

Hi there blog friends!  Wasn’t yesterday just dreamy with the French Country, Mark Your Word and Chicken Wire?  If I didn’t mention it, there are nine new sets and today we are previewing Florentine Frippery and Nordic Spring.  It’s so hard to pick a favorite, but I love trying, so here goes :-)


This card is made using Florentine Frippery.  Of course there are stamps in this set that match Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Four so I jumped to use them together.  I created a layered flower and alternated the layers with Spellbinders™ Persian Motifs and Spellbinders™ Persian Accents and filled in the center with Spellbinders™ Spiral Blossom Three.  The sentiment – which is so cleverly archaic is hung on Spellbinders™ Office Supplies.  


The border is created by lining up the filigree element from Spellbinders™ Damask Accents then layering a strip of paper over top.  The Frippery pattern that is stamped on the border strip is simply exquisite!

For this card I used elements from Nordic Spring and Florentine Frippery.  The heart is cut using Spellbinders™ Classic Hearts which I mounted over two cuts using Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Five.  I love, love, love the matching stamps!!


Using the Nordic Spring I stamped the border and folded it to make an elevated banner.

I love the sentiment.  It really pokes fun at archaic sayings and this is definitely not a stamp or sentiment you already have in your stash, lol!!

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps:  Waltzingmouse Stamps –  Nordic Spring and Florentine Frippery
Paper:  EK Success – Sea Breeze,  Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80 lb cover (1st card), My Minds Eye, Bazzill, Neenah Classic Crest Cream 80 lb cover (2nd card)
Ink: VersaMagic Chalk Ink – Sea Breeze (1st Card),  Colorbox Chalk Ink – Rose Blush,  Memento Rhubarb Stalk (2nd Card)
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Four , Spellbinders™ Persian Motifs, Spellbinders™ Persian Accents, Spellbinders™ Spiral Blossom Three,  Spellbinders™ Office Supplies, Recollections Pearls, Satin Ribbon, Zva Creative Pearls (1st Card),  Spellbinders™ Classic Hearts, Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Five, Recollections Pearls, Seam Binding, Pearl Pic, Lace (2nd Card)

Here are the design team members who have creations to share today.  I hope you can pop in and have a peek at what they have been working on!!

    Think you could save a lot of time if video while you make a project. Then dont have to do all the typing on your blog. Just a list of materials and items used. Think of the more time you would have to craft lol

    Wow Becca, these cards are beautiful! I especially like the Florentine Frippery stamped elements, I think it must be the colour. Absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing again, you are a true inspiration (I’ve said that before but it is so true!)ReplyCancel

    Beautiful cards, love the diecut and stamped border with the lovely flower.
    The second has such a lovely cross-stitch feeling to itReplyCancel

    Darling cards! Love both of them, especially the blue.ReplyCancel

  • Carol RFebruary 27, 2012 - 10:34 am

    Both cards are stunning! I don’t know why, but the first one in the pretty aqua blue reminds me of a butter cream frosted cake! So yummy to look at!ReplyCancel

    Oooooooooo! What a lovely card! Great job!ReplyCancel

  • Julia AstonFebruary 27, 2012 - 10:49 am

    My goodness Becca! Two most elegant presentations here! I love the colors on both – all the pearls, the wonderful layered and curled labels to create your blue flower, the die cut edges – the pink heart layered over the red label with that gorgeous multi-bow ribbon, pin and flowers – I could look at these for an hour and still see more details!ReplyCancel

    Just gorgeous Becca. Beautiful cards. TFSReplyCancel

  • Eunice BrownFebruary 27, 2012 - 11:07 am

    Good morning Becca,
    Oh my, I love both of your cards this morning, especially the aqua card,(at least I think it’s aqua). No matter, you did a wonderful job in pooling all the elements together. I don’t know how you do it day after day. I could work all week and only get one card to look decent (lol) the rest would end up in the round file. Thanks for sharing, and have a great week.ReplyCancel

  • Ann CFebruary 27, 2012 - 11:25 am

    Becca….these are just beautiful. I think you personally keep the pearl providers in business! Did you ever get my personal e-mail to you?ReplyCancel

  • Renee LFebruary 27, 2012 - 11:29 am

    I’m totally and completely gobsmacked…

  • Sandi MarsonFebruary 27, 2012 - 11:44 am

    Hi Becca! Thanks for sharing this beautiful card (they’re always beautiful!) with us today. I was wondering if it’s possible to one day do a tutorial on using the Spellbinders Spiral Blossom Three. Thanks for all your inspiration!ReplyCancel

    Super cards.
    Merci FrancineReplyCancel

  • BernieFebruary 27, 2012 - 11:59 am

    It is so wonderful to get up and see a post from you each morning. Even though I don’t have the supplies and tools you do everything you share inspires me to get in my Craft Closet and create something beautiful. Your cards are both so lovely but that flower is amazing!
    Blessings BernieReplyCancel

  • Francie (Montreal)February 27, 2012 - 12:13 pm

  • Dottie DavisFebruary 27, 2012 - 3:37 pm

    OOOh, ahhhhh. This card is gorgeous! I love the colors, the ribbon, the flower, just every thing is splendidly done. Gosh. I am trying to think of something original to say but I can’t find the words to describe your creations. They are just out in a league of their own. If someone wants to excel he needs to hang with the big dogs. You are one of those from which to learn. Thank you.ReplyCancel

  • Kelly SchirmerFebruary 27, 2012 - 4:22 pm

    Oh my what you do with Nesties! Your layered Label 24 flower card is out of this world! It doesn’t even look like paper! The curled edges on the petals are so smooth and lovely! Your Nordic card is so elegant, I just love the birds nestled in the heart with the lovely Frippery sentiment. I shake my head in wonder, heee!ReplyCancel

  • Maryellen WebberFebruary 27, 2012 - 4:27 pm

    I just think these cards are beautiful. Those sentiments are certainly different. The flower on your first card is so beautiful with the layers you
    created with the Spellbinders.ReplyCancel

  • ElenaFebruary 27, 2012 - 4:35 pm

    Great news here!!! I finally got my Becca’s Peg Bow Maker, the CD and the most gorgeous and precious card. It is so beautiful and so elegant! I love it so very much!!!! Thank you, Becca!!!! I will treasure it forever!
    I know I will LOVE my Becca’s Peg Bow Maker and I can’t wait to watch the CD. I just had to come to my computer to send this “thank you” to you. Thank you so very much!ReplyCancel

  • Trisha B.February 27, 2012 - 5:53 pm

    I HAVE to get this “frippery” set. Somebody appreciated my irreverant side when they created this! Love it to pieces!

    Speaking of loving it, I love what you did with the aqua flower. Stunning! I just bought Labels 22 yesterday (if I remember correctly, you were responsible for introducing me to that as well :) ), now I’m going to have to go shopping again. Whatever will I do?

    Thank you for such a fun way to end the day!ReplyCancel

  • cindy ClickFebruary 27, 2012 - 6:12 pm

    Becca,
    My husband always knows when I pull up your blog because I let out a little gasp each time I see one of your beautiful creations!! What elegance, what a stunning flower and the aqua is so soothing. Your heart card is so pretty. The lace, bow and stick pin just works so well together. These knew stamps are so wonderful and will have to order them, along with the flower #3. I bet these companies see a serge in orders every time you post a card!!! I hope you get a cut!
    And then today, I rec’d happy mail. The bow maker came in and I can’t wait to start playing. Thank you for all your contributions to the craft world. I tell my husband you are the reason the mastercard bill is so high each month!! (Just kidding, he gives me a craft budget each month.)
    Hugs,
    CindyReplyCancel

  • Charlene LeBelFebruary 27, 2012 - 6:16 pm

    Hi Becca, Just Beautiful. Your cards are the absolute most fantastic in the world. I recieved my bow maker today and the card that was with it is just gorgeous. What a lovely accompaniment. I hope I can make some bows almost as lovely as the ones you make.
    Thank You for making these beautiful cards and for your bow maker. I only wish I had the money to get all the Spellbinders to go with the bows I hope to make. I have some dies and I try to get some when I can. I love Spellbinders dies.

    Thank You,

    Take Care,
    CharleneReplyCancel

    Hi Becca,
    I can hardly find the words to express my feelings. These cards today are just wonderful; the first being one of my all time favourites now.
    You are so clever and blessed with such a beautiful creative talent.
    Have a good week. Hugs LindaReplyCancel

  • TeresaFebruary 27, 2012 - 9:00 pm

    Another beautiful card to add to the list of favorites. As I read over some of these comments there is really nothing left to say as everyone is always in Heaven just looking at your creations. But I found something to top the list! Today I recieved my Becca’s bow maker and I was so excited to open the package. Now I have my own Becca card!!! It is so pretty and I am so pleased. My first bow was not hard to make either. Thank you for all the inspiration you give. I also have to agree with some of the comments on how I am inspired to buy by what I see you use. Great advertisement.ReplyCancel
