Hi dear blog friends!!  I have received some inquiries about my Celebrate Card . . .
So I know by now you’re asking, What “Celebrate” card?   Welllllllll, it’s actually on the back cover of the Feburary 2012 edition of “Cards” Magazine.  I wasn’t sure if it was out on the new stands yet, but apparently it is – so I hadn’t posted it or referred to it yet.  I just can’t get anything over on you all!!!  Since there are questions about instructions and what I used to make the card, I’m posting the pictures as well as the full step by step instructions in my blog post today.  I made these items some time ago and planned to show them sometime in the future but hadn’t had a chance to get them posted.  Why?  Well, there is a box to go along with the card, and I wanted to do the box justice by writing a nice tutorial.  I won’t have the box today, but it will be coming soon!  I will tell you though, it is a new box you haven’t seen before and it’s one of my favs!!  :-)

So for some of those who leave comments saying, “I could never make one of your cards” . . . ahem,  this is one that you CAN make.  It’s a basic card, but there are enough frills that its different.  I encourage you to CASE it.  The design combined with the stamps sets that I used, is one I can pick up and interchange for just about any occasion I can think.  That’s not the case with every card I do, but you know I keep a “go to” list for that very reason.  So this makes that list my go to list for when I need a card and don’t have hours to pour over the design.

HOW IT’S MADE
1.  Cut cream cardstock to 7.5″ by 11″ and score at 5 1/2″ to create card base.
2.  Layer with blue cardstock panel cut to 7″ by 5″.
3.  Cut a blue cardstock panel to 6 3/4 x 4 3/4 and cut opening using Spellbinders LF-110 Grand Ovals #2
4.  Cut a cream cardstock panel to 6 7/8 x 4 7/8 and cut opening using Spellbinders LF-110 Grand Ovals #1

5.  Emboss blue panel with Spellbinders ES-003 Valor M-Bossabilities running paper through machine twice.  On the first pass emboss, on the second pass lay paper in place and match pattern taking a moment to feel the previous embossing fall into place on template, then emboss again.
6.  Embellish petal motifs with pearls.
7.  Adhere both frame panels and attach to card base using foam tape.
8.  Stamp Celebrate and flourish elements from Waltzingmouse Join Us and Waltzingmouse Say It Loud on a cream panel.
9.  Cut/emboss with Spellbinders S4-110 Classic Ovals LG #5 and adhere centering in oval opening.
10. Cut border using Spellbinders E8-001 Classic Scallop Edgeabilities and Spellbinders E8-002 Bracket Edgeabilities.
11. Emboss a 1” wide scrap of blue cardstock using reverse side of ES-003 Valor M-Bossability and apply to center of border; embellish each petal motif with a pearl then adhere border vertically on card.
12. Cross card with two pieces of seam binding and adhere filigree element on left side of card.  Top with bow, button and pearl.

(Don’t have to make them match then, do if u do with a punch , a grand idea). I am all for easy crafting, Yes sure i cna make this card, Thanks Becca for sharing .ReplyCancel

  • Lindyloo, South Wales, UKJanuary 26, 2012 - 8:05 pm

    Hi Becca, I hope you have been having a good day.
    You have used my favourite colour today. I adore Royal Blue. To me it is exactly as its described- Royal and it is always clean and fresh when used with cream or white. It’s funny though because blue is known as a cold colour and yet I see Royal as being a very warm blue.
    How beautifully you have used this colour to produce a very creative card, and congrats on its publication. It may not have been the front cover, but it was on the cover!! How proud you must feel. Wow, who’d have thought it a Cover Girl!! LOL…
    I recently CASED a card of yours and I think it turned out rather well. I think I will have to send you an email of it so I can get your appraisal.
    Thank you for todays inspiration.

Sweet friends, how are you today?  I’ve been musing about how truly rewarding it is to have hands busy and immersed in creating something. Some of you echo the same sentiment in your emails to me…  It was only several years ago that things were so busy that I never had time to craft.  I traveled much and managed to throw a little bit of knitting or crochet in my bag to take along with me but it was all I could do to get through a days work then fall into bed.  I’m grateful, so very grateful.  We all have things we have to do, I hope you find a moment in your day to relax and create!  I do have a card to share today – it uses one of the new Spellbinders die templates that is sure to become one of my favorites.  It’s called Spellbinders S5-083 Antique Frame and it has been floating to the top of the pile on my work bench.  Best for me to use it so that I can set my eyes on some of the others I want to touch!


I cut my thick frame using Spellbinders Classic Squares LG and Classic Squares SM then seated the frame from Spellbinders S5-083 Antique Frame over top.  The frame in this set is so elegant it just begged for a cameo to go inside so I selected
a Waltzingmouse Stamps set called Cameo to Go.  Then I attached a sweet little tag — perfectly sized — using Spellbinders S5-089 Home Sweet Home.  Up in the right hand corner I tucked the super elegant element from Spellbinders Twisted Metal Tags and Accents.

SUPPLIES I USED
StampsWaltzingmouse StampsCameo to Go
Paper: DCWV, Bazzill
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories: Spellbinders Twisted Metal Tags and Accents, Spellbinders Classic Squares LG, Spellbinders Classic Squares SM, Spellbinders S5-083 Antique Frame, Spellbinders S5-089 Home Sweet Home, seam binding, Bead Landing bead, Recollections pearls.

Thanks for stopping by!  You all are the best!!

Beautiful blog friends!  I hope you are having a wonderful day :-)  I’m back with a card to share today – I love playing around with the new Cut and Tuck dies from Spellbinders.  It was sweet serendipity when I figured out that they layer with other dies magnificently and it gives such a different look.  This time around instead of folding over the cut and tuck part I took a skewer and simply curled that part over.  Very dressy.  Obviously for a card like this, it will have to go into a box/envelope so that the curls don’t get smashed or this is the type of card that goes in a larger package without having to worry about an envelope.  I designed this one as a wedding card.  The sentiment goes with a new tea/friendship set, Special Blend, from Our Daily Bread Designs, but I feel like the sentiment works for it well.


I started out the base of my medallion using Spellbinders™ Picot Edged Circles and layered on top Spellbinders™ S5-079 Persian Motifs.  After cutting Spellbinders™ S5-111 Angle Approach I curled up each folded over element and put pearls on each section as well as fold up the cutouts from the center part.  For the sentiment I used Spellbinders™ S4-353 Labels Twenty Five and rimmed it with my gold pen.  I love the subtle and dressy texture of M-Bossabilities™ EL-001 Elite embossing plate, so I used it as the base panel for my card.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread DesignsSpecial Blend
Paper:  The Paper Company, assorted specialty artists paper
Ink: Versamark
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Picot Edged Circles, Spellbinders™ S5-079 Persian Motifs, Spellbinders™ S5-111 Angle Approach, Spellbinders™ S4-353 Labels Twenty Five, M-Bossabilities™ EL-001 Elite, seam binding, Recollections Pearls, gold embossing powder, Krylon gold pen, ribbon

I hope you have yourself a crafty little day!!  Smooches!!

    I get a head start on my cards for holidays during the cold winter months here in Wisconsin. I think your cameo card would be lovely for mothers day.ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca,
    You truly have a God-given gift that shines through in everything you create. I can hardly wait to see what each new card will be.
    Blessings,
