Hi there blog friends.  While I had a second I’m wedging in another Becca Bit that you asked for.  Recently I made a flower using cut yardage from my organza/chiffon stash.  Several of you asked about it – it’s a very  easy flower so I thought I’d show you how:

How easy was that?  If you are interested in knowing more about the loom I made, you can check out this post – https://www.amazingpapergrace.com/tutorial-flower-of-the-loom/ Thanks for stopping by,  see you tomorrow!!

    That IS a very pretty flower. I’ve got to try one of those. I don’t have anything in the way of flowers, and everyone is using them on cards now, so all the tutorials I can watch on making flowers is what I need!ReplyCancel

    Very pretty and easy too. I had my son make me one of the looms and have used it already. Thanks for the tip and the pattern. EdnaReplyCancel

    It’s a beautiful flower. I found the box, have the rivets and bit, just need some time to do it. A friend even gave me some great tulle. Thanks so much for always being a great teacher and sharing your little Becca bits.

    Hello Becca
    I love this romantic soft type of flower and it’s easy to send through the mail.
    Now my question is to you think you could do a Becca Bit on how you created your little loom to do it on.
    Pretty please with whipped cream on it.

    pat…I love that little loom.ReplyCancel

  • pat p.June 16, 2011 - 3:39 am

    Becca
    I just found your tutorial for making the little loom for making your flowers. I had asked if you could do a Becca Bit on how to make the loom and there it was a link to the how to make the loom. Wow how quick was that. Now I’m going to go out and get those parts.. Thank you so much Becca..your so darn clever…and so great to share it all with us.

Don’t forget, you have until Tuesday, June 7th to leave a comment for the Girls Paperie Blog Candy – you can click —–>HERE to get to the correct post :-)

Hi there blog friends, the day got away from me, but at least there was a sweet diversion.  My sister called me and we did a little bit of catching up and my daughter was home.  I am still working on some deadlines but I guess I always post at odd hours.  At any rate, I took a moment to finish up a card that I started earlier.  I’m thankful to be adding a baby card to my stash and in reality I need a couple more.  Is it just me or is it easier to do them ahead of time instead of an hour before the shower?  The sentiment I’m using is a new one from Quietfire Design called A Baby is Such a Beautiful Way; it’s simply precious.  You know I’m partial to dressy, elegant cards and that sentiment surely fits the bill.


I’m using a MS Punch for the border and corners and I defaulted to those lovely Girls Paperie papers.  After I punched the border I thought it would be a shame to mount it on cardstock and lose some of the loveliness of the pattern so instead I adhered a card base to the back that is longer in the back than it is in the front.  It gives the illusion that it’s floating. 

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Quietfire Design – A Baby is a Beautiful Way
Paper: Xpedx Brilliant White Cardstock, The Girls Paperies
Ink: Colorbox Chalk – Pink Pastel
Accessories:  MS Punch, Pearls, Recollection Rose, Button,  Recollection Resin Rose, Hand dyed Rose Seam Binding, Pink Corsage Pins

Hard to believe June is already here, but it is.  Yikes it’s one of the busiest months in the year for me and I already know it’s gonna get crazy.  Hang in there, okay?  See you soon!

Hi there blog friends!  Need a new frugal embellishment for your cards?  Since you asked, today I’m showing you how to make that bunting I used yesterday and the flag pick is made in less than 60 seconds.  Join me?

Although we’re just in time for the coming patriotic holidays, the pick I made can be translated into any holiday, occasion or sport a sentiment.   The bunting is easy, but once you see what I’m using, I just know you’ll be searching through your stash for something you already have on hand.  I’ve taken the liberty of speeding up some of the parts of the video so that you’re not simply watching me fidget but I really wished my fingers moved so fast, LOL!

Take care friends, be on the look out for something from me later!!

    What a great idea. I have taped fabric to card stock and run it through an embossing folder, but had not thought to do it with ribbon and score it. I like the way you think! Keep up the good work.ReplyCancel

    Wow, Becca. I could hardly believe my eyes when I “tuned” in to your patriotic creation yesterday! I’ve been on the hunt for a good patriotic card idea for years! I’ve just never come up with one I’ve liked. But I LOVE this one. And today when I saw the tutorial, I nearly fell over! I’ve had those ribbons for YEARS!!!! Everytime I clean my ribbon stash out, I toss them, but before they make it to the give away or throw away destination, I pull them back out, always knowing that someday I’ll figure out something to do with them! THANK YOU!!!! I adore your creativity!ReplyCancel

  • Vicky SchmidtJune 3, 2011 - 1:41 pm

  • Anne McIntoshJune 3, 2011 - 1:42 pm

    Thanks for showing us how to make this bunting. I would have probably tried to make a whole circle, because I wouldn’t have thought to make just the arch – DUH! It’s a beautiful card and I’m gonna try it for July 4th! Thanks againReplyCancel

    WOUW this is funny, I actually published a simular tutorial for my friends on my blog a couple of days ago, just made as a rosette, so I guess, I have learned to use your way of thinking a lot too ha ha ha ha. This shape here also looks really amazing, and also the idea with adding ribbon to it, as I used some fabric and else just ordinary cardstock.
    Thanks sooo much for always sharing your gorgeous work and ideas with all of us here. You´re amazing.

    Fantastic! I knew how to make the flag but never thought to tape the ribbon to card stock for the bunting. Brilliant! You could even use fabric! Thanks for all these tutorials. This morning I bought a corner punch came home and watched how you used it on a circle. LOVE IT. Thanks again.
