Top of the morning!  Yesterday quite a few of you asked me to develop a tutorial to show you how to do the white flower that was on my pocket card.  I was only too happy to oblige so I cooked up a new card with the same flower as a sample to use during the tutorial.  For the round base of the flower I used Spellbinders Big Scalloped Circles LG and attached Spellbinders Nested Leaves, both are embossed with Spellbinders Floral and Stone Impressabilities.   The flower itself is made with a border punch!!  Then along the bottom I used Spellbinders Banner Basics One and Spellbinders Banner Basic Three for a little bit of whimsy and to show my tiny sentiment.


The video to show you how I made it is here:

OMGoodness, YouTube was having a little tantrum today.  It kept kicking me out or was telling me my little 5 minute video would take 6 hours to upload.  It’s behaving itself now, I’ve been trying to get this up for hours but thankfully it’s finally up.  Enjoy.  I’ll see you soon!!  By the way, the name of the EK Success Border Punch is Chinese Knot Chain.

    Hi Becca,
    I love the ruffled flower. On the first card you showed us with this flower it had pink backing petals that looked like you had stamped a design in white. Is that stamped or is that the paper? I would love to know how you did that also. Are the pink petals a die cut or a punch or what. Please share how you did the pink petals.
    Just love your work.
    Thanks so much for sharing your talent with all of us.

    You must be the fastest ‘scorer and accordion folder’ south of the 49th parallel. Kidding. Seriously though, I just love the card and the ruffled flower tutorial. It can be dressy or casual depending on what you attach in the middle. A very helpful flower to have in one’s repertoire. You somehow manage to keep coming up with new design elements that make your blog the coolest, freshest one around. Thank you again for all you do.ReplyCancel

    Lovely! However I’m afraid of it getting crushed in the mail. I found a medallion on You Tube that was hot glued to a one inch punched circle, so that’s what I did with my medallions and hot glued a button on top. Made it so much easier putting it together.ReplyCancel

Hi there sweet friends!! I had a ball yesterday with the pocket card and it literally opened the door for some other stamps I wanted to revisit because I originally thought them to be too large.  I love this format!!

As I said yesterday, I can make use all the decorative elements on the card that I want and still use a huge stamp or huge sentiment.  The stamp I’m using today is one of my favorite girl friend stamps from Inky Antics.   I love to send this sentiment just to get a laugh and a “I know, right?!?” I made the same pocket card as yesterday but this one is 5 1/2″ x 7 1/4″.  I’ll be delivering this one, so no envelope needed but if it did I would simply protect the flower with the ring from an empty spool of ribbon and put it in a bubble wrap envelope or I would rework without the dimensional flower.  I’m rolling in cute today so I surrendered, okay?  Doesn’t that sentiment just crack you up?  I flipped the panel that belongs in the pocket and put this on the flip side.    I’ve had this stamp for a long time but it will never, never go out of style in my book :-)  Easy, easy, I tell ya!

You see it all together now.  On the right is the pocket part of the card, on the left is the flip side of the front panel and the inside has the same type of paper as is on the front panel.  It all makes me smile!  Hope you are having a fab day too!

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Inky Antics (chocolate), Studio G (Hello Friend)
Paper: The Girls Paperie – Vintage Whimsy, Colorbok – Flea Market
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories:  Martha Stewart Border Punch – Garden Gate Trim, pearls, seam binding, EK Success Punch (Chinese Knot Chain), Blumenthal Flower Button, Copic Markers

Thanks for all your sweet, sweet comments – you all make it a pleasure to craft each day!  See you soon!!

    I couldn’t agree more. In fact, isn’t chocolate one of the food groups?
    It sure makes every day a bit more enjoyable!ReplyCancel

    How fun! Overflowing with cute and clever artistry. Thank you once again for the inspiration!ReplyCancel

    Each new creation seems to out do the last one. Simply beautiful. I understand how you made the white center part of the flower using the Chinese Knot Chain punch, but what are the scalloped blue/pink die cuts behind the white center? They add a nice touch.. It’s a joy to visit your blog daily – Thank-you for blessing us Becca.ReplyCancel

    This is an adorable card! What a great chocolate saying. Perfect for your pocket card!ReplyCancel

    Your flower of the Loom tutorial inspired me to make one. After making a few lopsided ribbon flowers, I added a cutout round of sponge inside the box and poked the nail through; from the bottom, to hold the center nail straight to insure the flower would be in round and balanced. Your design abilities are magical and your designs are breathtaking. I will look for the prima papers at Michael’s as they would be lovely behind a ribbon flower.ReplyCancel

  • Dorthy BarberApril 29, 2011 - 11:42 am

    Becca, I look at your site often and admire all the beautiful cards you show, I have even tried to duplicate a few. The paper looks great and would love to add it to my supplies.ReplyCancel

    Yum…..chocolate…..I know someone who is alergic to chocolate and said that would be their last meal when they knew it was their last day on earth… don’t blame them. : ) God bless……deniceReplyCancel

Hi there blog friends! Several of you asked me to show how I put together the pocket card. It’s easy and doesn’t take much time so I thought I’d go ahead and make a Becca Bit out of it :-) I really like this format. It’s very easy and it makes a very sturdy card even if you have a wimpy weight of cardstock.  I see lots of possibilities for the cut out on the pocket with die cuts and border punches.  Since it’s fresh on my mind, you may see more this week.

Thanks so much for peeking in!!  See you tomorrow!!

    Becca, I couldn’t get your video on the pocket card to work. Message is the video is not available.ReplyCancel

  • DebraKApril 26, 2011 - 8:28 pm

    very cool, thanks Becca…! Was the camera in fast motion when you were cranking the handle or were you going that fast? Impressive! I noticed you used an embossing tool to score–will have to try that one…I don’t like the tool that came with my MS Score pad.ReplyCancel

    Love the idea of a pocket card… I don’t have the Grand Calibur, but I figure I will ‘down-size’ the technique to an A2 card…wish me luck! Tks for sharing.ReplyCancel

  • Debbie BApril 27, 2011 - 6:05 am

    Thank you for the tutorial. Could you do this in a smaller format if you don’t have the Grand Caliber? I know it wouldn’t be as grand as yours but maybe a 4X4 card?ReplyCancel

  • bonnie weissApril 27, 2011 - 7:03 am

    You make every trip to my computer worthwhile, whenever you have posted something, Becca and this visit is no exception. This is definitely a ‘let’s give it a go’ card style and technique…thanks.ReplyCancel

  • KarenApril 27, 2011 - 9:35 am

    Great tutorial Becca! Thanks for showing such detail-you make it look so simple. I had my a-ha! moment when you did the second score line for the pocket so it would accomodate a bulkier insert. Thanks for sharing it with us.ReplyCancel

  • CharlotteApril 27, 2011 - 10:02 am

    Your pocket card is a great idea! Thank you so much for doing a video tutorial on how to make it (which us “visual” learners so appreciate). I don’t have a grand calibur so can’t make a card this size – but, I’m going to try making a smaller size card with one of the “regular” nestabilities die.ReplyCancel

  • Francie (Montreal)April 27, 2011 - 10:14 am

    Thank you, Becca. You’re explanations are so easy to follow, I believe a dull-normal like myself could do it. If you ever give up crafting (shudder), I could see you excel in a teaching roll, too.ReplyCancel

  • Monica BlackApril 27, 2011 - 10:36 am

    Beautiful card. Thanks for the tutorial. I use blue painters tape to hold my dies in place. No need to de-tack it.ReplyCancel

  • CandyApril 27, 2011 - 10:53 am

    Very very nice! What did you use to create gold wording ie. gold stamping on your card? Was this ink? or embossing powder? or other? Was the tag cut out of gold mirror paper or other? Thanks so much for your inspiration.ReplyCancel

  • CandyApril 27, 2011 - 10:55 am

    I found the answers. Thanks again for all your hard work!ReplyCancel
