Today is a new release for Flourishes and the ladies at Spellbinders are hopping along!!  These sets are gonna blow your socks off – they’re darling and remind us of all things cozy at Grandma’s House.  We don’t need to tell you that tags and labels are two of the trendiest items to hit the card making market in a long time! And, to help you add style and pizzazz to your creations, Flourishes has teamed up with Spellbinders Paper Arts to make sure you have the perfect set of stamps to match a darling set of tag style dies. Wonderfully whimsical and reminiscent of Grandma’s calico prints, Flourishes “charming” set offers three labels that coordinate perfectly with Spellbinders Grommet Tags (S4-322).  Designed by Becky Fleck, you’ll also find 6 beautiful sentiments and 4 accent stamps to dress up your labels (Country Charm Labels)!  Pair that with Flourishes Country Charm Borders and you have the perfect set to make darling note cards in minutes.  Flourishes coordinating Country Charm Borders set features five border strips that match the labels set to a tee.  What fun!


When I saw this set, I immediately thought of country pin cushions and all the neat sewing tools that Grandma used to have.  Whether she was quilting, cross stitching or mending my clothes, a basket or jar of tools was always handy.  I decided to whip up some quick gift sets using the tags and borders on both my Mason Jar Pin Cushions and my note  cards.  These are meant to be gifts for some of my sweet crafter friends and boy did they ever whip up quickly!  Here are the three separate pairings:

Set of Leaf Pins and card.


Set of Assorted Ribbon and Card


Set of Assorted Buttons and Card

It was easy to coordinate fabric with the ink colors and the print on the tags – so country.  Perfect for a gift set.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: FlourishesCountry Charm Labels, Country Charm Borders
Paper: The Paper Company – Kraft, Bazzill, Coredinations
Ink: Distress Inks – Fire Brick Red, Sapphire, Pine Needles, Versafine Onyx Black
AccessoriesSpellbinders Lacey Ovals, Spellbinders Grommet Tags, fabric, Mason Jars, stuffing, hot glue gun, buttons, pins, ribbon

Because Flourishes knew this set was a match made in heaven with Spellbinder’s Grommet Tags, both design teams are joining forces for a fun-filled show and tell blog hop! Make sure to hop on over and see….

    Wow, went over to Flourishes using the link you included and couldn’t even find anything about the blog hop there. The blog I found through a link on that site did say something about problems with one of their blog hops… but didn’t seem to have a hop going on today. so, I’m confused. I usually go to the blog of the company having the hop to begin so I’m sure to start at the beginning and go from there… this one has me confused.

    But, none the less… your creations are lovely as always!!!!!ReplyCancel

Good morning blog friends.  I have a tutorial for you today, and it’s one you’ve been asking for – for a while.   I made a sample card to go along with it to show the end result for the technique.  Several years ago I figured out how to take a border punch and cut an even frame all around so that it comes out perfect every time. At the time, MS had just come out with the Punch Around The Page Product so I put my plans to do the tutorial away, thinking it obsolete.  Over the past couple of months, several have written to ask me to do the tutorial I had promised.  Then last week when I showed the Love Letter to the World framed hybrid project, several asked again.  Well, that’s how I decide content here – you request it . . . it gets on the list.  Also when a project gets a lot of comment, I assume you like it and then I plan to do more similar projects :-)  All that to say, I’m listening!!

Just a short blurb about my sample card — I’m using a two sweet sets from Waltzingmouse StampsHoliday Labels No. 14 (which conveniently matches Spellbinders Labels Fourteen) and Victorian Frippery.  You know that I have to make a special effort to tilt my cards, lol.  Yesterday I saw so many tilted cards that I determined I had to do it!  You may also notice that my card has stitching on it — that’s because I finally cleared a path to the sewing machine!

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Waltzingmouse StampsHoliday Labels No. 14, Victorian Frippery
Paper: The Paper Studio, Coredinations, DCWV
Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink – Prussian Blue, Versafine Onxy Black
Accessories: Spellbinders Labels Fourteen, EK Success Moroccan Border, Recollections Pearls, Recollections Flower, Recollections Resin Rose, Recollections Print Leaves, Seam Binding

Here is the tutorial on how to do the punching – I promise you it is not complicated, but you need to try it to get the gist of it.  It works best with single elements that repeat but try it on others:

Back tomorrow with something new!!  Hope to see you then!!

  • Vicki BMay 12, 2011 - 1:37 pm

    Becca, thank you so much for that tutorial. I tried it with a MS punch and it worked!!! My corners turned out a little more rounded but I’m fine with it. I won’t “need” any more corner punches now to have a great punched all around edge.ReplyCancel

  • JessicaMay 12, 2011 - 1:38 pm

    Thanks Becca, I just tried it with one of my punches, and it didn’t quite work out well, even thought the depth was still 3/4 inches. But I’ll keep on trying by starting out with larger pieces of paper.
    At least I’ll have a place to start. I’ve tried a couple other ways to do this, that I can’t remember now. They were just too involved. You, as always, make things very easy to understand. Thanks again
    Hugs, JessicaReplyCancel

  • BernieMay 12, 2011 - 2:11 pm

    Wow this is awesome and a great money saver. I can’t afford those Punch Around The Page Punches but I do have a few border punches and you have just doubled their use for me. I tired it and it works! I have written the depth of each punch on the punch with a sharpie so it was quick work to sketch my lines and punch away. I am SO excited! Thank you ever so much.
    As always your card is stunning!

    Becca,

    Love this! You are such a treasure to share these. I try to be a frugal scrapbooker, whenever possible. Your tutorials are a great help. Thanks so much & God bless you.ReplyCancel


Hey chicklets!  I’m much better today, and I have a project to share that was soooooo much fun to make, I’ll just have to explain how I got there.  First of all this is a new release by JustRite Stampers called Family Garden — adorable, hunh!?!   The first time I saw the set, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.  It’s super cute because they included flowers in the set, but since they are not a part of the stamp, you can substitute anything you like, buttons, pearls, rings, a round of crochet – you get the picture.

I’ve tried  before to stamp on slick buttons with Stazon ink but was never happy with the results.   So recently when I saw someone  stamp on a fabric button, this was the a-ha I needed.  So now what fabric to use?  For a while I did cross stitching and somewhere along the line I hit a super clearance sale on cross stitch linen.  I have tons of it and thought if I was lucky, it would take ink.  Turns out that it takes ink very well – I used Stazon and Brilliance.  Using Scor-Tape sheets, I applied the linen to a piece of cardstock and stamped on it and then cut it for my project.   For the Gable Box I used a steel rule die cut and for my card, I simply cut my panel using my Tonic cutter.

For all the buttons I simply used an inexpensive covered button kit from the fabric store.  In this kit, all the top domes for the buttons had teeth which made it very easy to keep the fabric in place.  I did all of these (21 in total) by hand, each one taking less than a minute.  I applied them to the box and card with my glue gun.

For the card I used small, simple elements.  Spellbinders Standard Circle LG and Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Accents make the side embellishment.  My title, from JustRite Stampers You Are the Best Set is centered on top of Spellbinders Grommet Tags.  I’ve fallen in love with this linen, he-he . . . I just know you will see it again.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: JustRite Stampers – Family Garden, You Are the Best
Paper: Bazzill
Ink: Olive Stazon, Twilight Collection – Brilliance
Accessories: Spellbinders Standard Circles LG, Spellbinders Fleur de lis Accents, Spellbinders Grommet Tags, covered buttons, pearls, ribbon, lace, hot glue gun

Theres more JustRite goodness to see :-)  You can check in with these DT Members to see:

    Becca – I never would have considered stamping on cross stitch fabric….so clever!! Perhaps after the pain of the headache yesterday, your creative side of your brain is feeling so good since feeling so badly that inspirations just come you in a snap today. Whatever – we are grateful!

    I’m amazed at how well the texture of the linen took the stamping ink – I’ve got textured paper that won’t do that good! Another beautiful card and more inspiration from you, Becca. Can’t tell you often enough how much your sharing is appreciated.ReplyCancel

    Well this is just the cutest thing ever. I love using fabrics in paper crafts. This is simply adorable. And I love too the bow made from multi colors of ribbon. Very clever indeed. You outdid yourself this time for sure, Becca. Don’t you just love how God keeps giving you new ideas all the time??? Thank you once again for yet more inspiration. You’re the best, girl.

    God bless youReplyCancel

  • BernieMay 11, 2011 - 12:11 pm

    Happy to hear you are feeling better. OH MY GOSH These are stunning! For some reason they make me think of my Grandma. I have a box of goodies to donate including two covered button kits and several sheets of cross stitch fabric. I can’t see well enough to cross stitch any more and I don’t even know where the button kits came from but I’ll be pulling those goodies out of that box ASAP. Thank you for the inspiration.

  • Rachel BrooksMay 11, 2011 - 1:26 pm

    TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO clever, you are! Love this set. I assume the box was a premade one you covered, or are you just THAT clever too?ReplyCancel

  • SuziMay 11, 2011 - 1:55 pm

    Fantastic! I love the way you think! Wish I could crawl inside your brain and absorb some of that talent! The fabric gives both the card and the box such a feminine homespun, but professional appearance. Just gorgeous!ReplyCancel

  • Francie (Montreal)May 11, 2011 - 2:31 pm

    I adore the effect of stamping on the cross stitch linen and the buttons are, well, cute as a button. You just keep coming up with fabulous ideas to charm and amaze us. I don’t know how you do it, but please keep doing it. Does that brain of yours ever sleep?ReplyCancel

  • ChrisBMay 11, 2011 - 2:39 pm

  • Barbara JayMay 11, 2011 - 3:43 pm

    Oh I love the idea of a fabric covered box. So much work goes into making them it is nice if they are a bit more permanent.
    Love the project!! TFSReplyCancel

  • Kelly SasMay 11, 2011 - 4:30 pm

    Becca, can I have your brain for just one day PLEASE??? You amaze me how you come up with the most original ideas ever! Plus you don’t need any fancy expensive gadgets to make embellies with like those buttons. If you can’t find a cheap gadget that does it, you make one of your own like your peg bow maker etc! You are my idol!!!ReplyCancel

  • Cindy LouMay 11, 2011 - 4:59 pm

    Woohoo, I am loving this card, just ordered this set today! This morning as a matter of fact. This set is just all me in all types of aspects. Your box and card are just awesome! Love them! Love all the texture especially the buttons that you made. Your use of this stamp is awesome in both the card and the gable box! Wish you lived closer, someone just gave me a gift that I absolutley adore, but have more than I can use and would love to share (and don’t know anyone close that I can share with). Regardless, love your use of the stamp! Thanks for sharing! Blessings!ReplyCancel

  • bonnie weissMay 11, 2011 - 5:57 pm

    Wowzers…that linen is so cool! Trust the one and only Becca to come up with an idea like this!ReplyCancel

  • TanjaMay 11, 2011 - 6:33 pm

    These are lovely – a little different from you usual style and so fresh and soft. The linen is so pretty – thanks for the inspiration. I love the pastel colours you have used in the flowers and the combined ribbons. Have a lovely day Becca.ReplyCancel

  • FMMay 11, 2011 - 7:33 pm

    I just love both of these projects!!! The linen really makes it and I love the stampset, too! Thanks for all of your creativity!!!ReplyCancel

  • Maxine D/KiwimeMay 11, 2011 - 7:36 pm

    As an embroiderer I flinched when I saw linen on your card – it is soooooo expensive here – but I must admit it looks fabulous on the card and buttons and box :-)

    OMG Becca, the card AND the box are absolutely gorgeous! I just love them!!! I guess I need to check out the Just Rite stamp set and keep a copy of this post. You come up with the neatest ideas and projects.

    Glad to hear that you are feeling better.ReplyCancel

    I love that vine stamp! So versatile, and useful for many different types of cards. But using precious cross stitch fabric to stamp on? For shame! Scraps, maybe.ReplyCancel

  • DanicaMay 12, 2011 - 7:48 am

    I love the look of linen. It is simple and sweet but, for me, it has a sort of elegance too! I have a huge stash of cross stitch fabric around here somewhere. I am going to have to break it out and stamp on it. Tfs!!ReplyCancel

  • auntie em (emily)May 12, 2011 - 7:48 am

    Your pretty gift set is lovely! It makes sense that the fabric would take the ink since they print patterns on it. You are a smart cookie! I am so glad I know now what to do with all that cross stitch fabric I have ‘hoarded’ away! Since my eyesight isn’t good enough to stitch I will have to ‘stamp’ on it instead.
    Thanks for sharing! :)ReplyCancel

  • deb vandersteegMay 12, 2011 - 8:25 am

    Miss Becca! You’ve done it again!!! This is the BEANS!

    Hope you have a beautiful day.

    Oh My Gosh, Becca … this card and box are just jaw-droppingly gorgeous … adorable beyond words … I simply cannot believe your skill and talent and creativity. All of your projects are stunning … I just cannot believe it each day when I visit and find yet another fabulous creation. Everything you design and create is a joy to behold … and I’m guilty of not taking the time to tell you so often enough!! Your tutorials are really marvellous and much-valued too … you are generous beyond words. Thank you so much, Becca, you are truly amazing!!ReplyCancel

    This set is just wonderful, I have been sitting here just looking at it going back and forwards from one picture to another! You must have been so chuffed when you put this together as it’s a real winner. There’s something about the fabric that makes it look so tactile, if I had made those items I would be so proud of myself so I hope you are! :)ReplyCancel

  • AnneMay 13, 2011 - 4:14 pm
