I came this close to forgetting that someone needs to have the Prima Paper that has been up for grabs this past week, lol.  I’m so sorry to be late with this but I’m working, working, working.  Well, the name has been picked so peek in here to see if it is you.   I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

All I ask is for the  winner to reach out to me though the contact tab at the top of my blog page and leave a message for me with their mailing address.   Once confirmed, I’ll ship it out to you in my next post office run.   If no response is received within 48 hours, I’ll pick another name using random.org.  And the winner is. . .

I hope to see you some time tomorrow.  This week has been a great exercise for me since I usually make long drawn out cards – well this week since I have some other creative commitments, I’ve leaned heavily on finishing something I wasn’t originally thrilled with.  Hmmmm . . . I guess I need to go and have a look in that box to see what I can spiffy up!

Hi there friends.  I pulled something out of my “didn’t work before” pile and finished it up.  I had a time yesterday, for what ever reason I couldn’t sit for more than 5 minutes because my leg and hip hurt.  That’s a new one on me.  Standing wasn’t too bad, but sitting, not so much.  I’m not lucky enough to be able to lounge and read or surf because I simply go to sleep.   Needless to say, I had a restful day yesterday and am off to a good start today!!  This is a new Our Daily Bread Designs sentiment called Kind Hearts that I was working with a couple of weeks ago and set aside.  Today it finally found its home on a card base.

For my medallion I layered a piece of Spellbinders Parisian Accents (used two pieces, each cut in half) behind Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Rectangles.  I tied a Figure Eight Loops Bow and seated a sweet flower head in the center.   I finished off with a spray of Zva Creative Pearls.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Kind Hearts
Paper:  Bazzill, DP Unknown
Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink – Dark Moss
Accessories: Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Rectangles, Spellbinders Parisian Accents, Spellbinders Classic Rectangles SM, Recollections pearls, Zva Creative Pearls, Jolee’s Flower, Martha Stewart Scallop Punch.

Have a great day friends!!

  • Gabriela (Gabi with an Eye)June 16, 2011 - 10:01 am

    Becca, of the 3 layers of Spellbinders, what is the name of the Moss colored Spellbinder that’s at the bottom of this stack? The dies you listed in the “Accessories” only lists Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Rectangles and Spellbinders Classic Rectangles SM (which I recognize in the photo), but I don’t know the name of the bottom Spellbinders piece and would love to order it.

    Thank you! Your card is so very beautiful and quite inspirational.ReplyCancel

    The card is gorgeous. Pretty colors & a beautiful sentiment. If your leg & hip hurt only while sitting, it must be due to a nerve that’s experiencing pressure.

Hi there friends, I hope you don’t mind that I’m popping back in today.  I’m working on a lot of stuff and since I thought up a Becca Bit using the items I’m working on my project with, I decided to take a five minute break to show you how I made a terrific embellishment for a future card and some for my stash.    I’m strutting  just a little bit because I didn’t have to run to the store – everything was from my stash, lol!! (It’s just the smallest things, isn’t it?)

I made some text covered buttons that I can either glue down as an accent or can use in the center of a flower.  The button I’m making is on the large size – which I did intentionally so you can see on camera.  I much prefer the smaller size which is probably 5/8″.  Also I like to hit the shiny buttons with a quick coat of spray paint to dull them down, but obviously I didn’t do that today because I had not planned a video.  At any rate, take a look – it may be something you want to add to your repertoire – *wink*!!

See you soon!!

    Becca, I mind – I mind – that you popped in with a video!!! NOT!!!This is so clever. If you are not allowed to say ‘brand names’ for the particular button that you covered, could you put in a ‘supply list’ at the bottom. I couldn’t make out the ‘teeth brand’ button, but I will surely be on the lookout for some and try this. It is SO unique (to me anyway!) TFS. Have a great day.ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca,
    Great video. I’ve had all the covered button supplies bought since the ITopper came out, thinking I could do the same thing as that, without buying into getting a whole new tool setup. Needless to say, I haven’t put my supplies into use yet, but they’re there when I get around to it. I had plans to try a “what-if”, as in, what if I snipped out the shank prong, and slipped one of the bazillion brads through the slot of the back, before assembling the button, making my own covered button brad? I plan to give it a try eventually, to see if it works. This would be my own little “making do”, rather than buying a new tool. If you try this, maybe you can do a little Becca Bit sequel, to show us if it works, or not.ReplyCancel

    Oooooh thanks, I have some of those buttons in my old sewing basket which does not get looked into very often. Will drag those out and try this. I love your Becca Bits!ReplyCancel

    Excellent tip! Thanks for sharing this. Now I can use little bits of leftover scrap material for pretty buttons that I have a hard time parting with!ReplyCancel

    Awesome idea, Becca!

    I was thinking that one could also sand the surface to dull it as well. Do you think?ReplyCancel

    I love text too, I didn’t know you could do those without a tool to clamp them, I will have to check that out, tfs!ReplyCancel
