Oh happy weekend blog friends!!  It’s busy at my house but I sat down long enough to pull a card together.    Try as I may to adjust and edit, the ink on my sentiment is a peachy color but it looks hot pink in my picture and I have no clue why.   I resisted hanging on tightly to anything in my comfort zone except the pearls, lol!!   The paper I used has a little square motif on it so I put a teenie, tiny pearl in the center of each motif.  I pulled one of the new Our Daily Bread Designs sets called Bird Border and Corners.  The ground and the bird on the branch are separate stamps and I love that because you can adjust them to fit your situation!  So I inserted a sentiment from Scripture Collection 5 into the scene.

I cut/embossed half of Spellbinders Grand Labels Four as my main focal panel and layered Spellbinders Floral Doily Accents on top for my sentiment.  Up in the corner I put one of the elements from Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Motifs just to add a splash of color.  I layered on pearls, lace and a flower to finish off.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Bird Borders and Corners, Scripture Set 5
Paper: American Crafts, Expedx White Cardstock
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Colorbox Rose Pastel Chalk Ink
Accessories: Spellbinders Grand Labels Four, Spellbinders Floral Doily Accents, Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Motifs, Lace, Pearls

Thanks for stopping by, I hope your weekend is glorious!!

    I understand totally what you mean by the ink color looking “off” between the actual card and the photo — not sure why that happens either, but we know it really matches perfectly IRL!!! ;-) Beautiful card, Becca!!!ReplyCancel

This is a fun set that I’ve had for quite a while that I’ve been dying to get inky!  What clicked was this paper I recently purchased that reminds me somewhat of the blue and white china pieces similar to Wedgewood that I collect..  After looking at the pattern on the paper, I thought a-ha this would make a great “tea” card.  I ran through quite a few of my ink pads to find a shade of blue that would work, but I’m happy :-)

I used two different Waltzingmouse Stamps sets on my card.  Designed to match Spellbinders Labels Eighteen, I cut embossed a matching stamped image from Very Vintage Labels No. 18 and included a trimmed version of the teapots from the Afternoon Tea set.  I simply stacked the two images and mounted them at the top the card.   In love with those stamps!!  To construct the card I simply cut a tall panel 4.5″ x 8″ and mounted a cross panel embellished with strips of gold and bordered with the double arches border punch.


Well, that’s it for me today!!  This was pretty easy to accomplish and I just love the tall format cards – I wish I made them more often :-)

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Waltzingmouse Stamps – Very Vintage Labels No. 18, Afternoon Tea
Paper: Die Cuts with a View, Gold Foil
Ink: Ancient Page – Lapis
Accessories:  Spellbinders Labels Eighteen, Martha Stewart Border Punch, Jolees Lace Flower,  Ribbon, Pearls

Thanks for stopping by friends!!  Working on more things – and having fun, I’ll be back soon!

    This card is so beautiful! My mother collected Blue Willow and seeing the blue and white has me sitting back in the big country kitchen with her, smelling fresh baked molasses cookies and having a cup of tea in those special cups and saucers. You must have sweet memories as well with your beautiful Wedgewood china.

  • Iris, Saved by GraceApril 8, 2011 - 1:56 pm

    Hi Becca! It reminds me of Blue Willow too. So pretty, so crisp and clean. It has your “look”. I would know it anywhere. You know how some brands are just known for their excellence, like Wedgewood, Lenox, Rolex, Rolls Royce, etc , I’m sure some come to your mind, well I think someday we’ll say ” O that’s a “Becca”. ; ) You’re already known by so many, but I think that God will open doors for you, because you glorify His name and you are serving Him in your generation. I would love to own a “Feeken” : ) Take care Becca. Iris, Saved by GraceReplyCancel

    This takes me back to when I was a little girl. I received a tiny tea set of Blue Willow pattern dishes, and that’s exactly what this looks like. I still have one of the little cups. I would get Mom to put some coffee in one of the little cups, and then I would spit it out. I still hate coffee, and have never learned to like it. I have other vices though, so don’t feel sorry for me!ReplyCancel

    Oh, this card is fantastic! The colors are so vibrant and I love those Waltzingmouse stamps, especially the tea set! I love her vintage label look, it works perfectly with your style! I only wish that someone sold the stamps here in the states – I really don’t want to order from overseas!ReplyCancel

Oh wow!!  So many of you asked how I used the triangle ruler with my Tonic Cutter so I thought I would give you a very brief demo and more of an explanation.   Cutting is something that used to frustrate me, but now I have a little groove going.   As I mentioned before I make the first cuts on the big Tonic and then when layering papers I use the small Tonic to fine tune and to cut a scant edge.  I hope you enjoy the tip and it gives you a tool to make crafting more fun!!

    I do not have a guillotine cutter. I use the Dahle 550 rotary trimmer, which I just purchased a few months ago, and absolutely love! It has a guide that you can move in from the left side, but I really think that I could use a triangle ruler on occasionl! Thanks so much.ReplyCancel

  • Edna BurgessApril 8, 2011 - 6:26 am

    Hi, Like the way the triangle ruler works and think I’ll be getting one. Good tips. My friend has 2 guillotine cutters and will try hers out.
    We tried your bows that you made 5 petals and the covered button in the middle. It didn’t turn out as well as yours did, but we were able to do it. Probably takes a little practice. Thanks for all your tips. EdnaReplyCancel

  • RitaApril 8, 2011 - 6:43 am

    You are just so smart! Thanks so much for showing this. I love my Tonic cutter, but I have found that I’m usually off every time and was having some frustration with that.

    A couple of things. I ordered my new Tonic cutter and can hardly wait to get it. I trust your expertise and needed something I could take with me while we travel. Can’t wait to get it.

    Second, I could not hear your video. I had my volume turned all the way up and did not hear a single word. Is there a way I can get it louder? Thanks!ReplyCancel

  • Nadine BaileyApril 8, 2011 - 7:39 am

    What I like about the cutter you use is that there is a “built” in place to hold the cutter when you slice. Often when you hold down the the guide moves a little and will change the alignment. Thanks for the tutorial. I appreciate the information on the cutter and the triangle ruler.ReplyCancel

    What a helper, you are. i was wondering about the triangular ruler, also.ReplyCancel

  • Tina CovingtonApril 8, 2011 - 8:10 am

    Becca thanks so much for the visual. When I left my comment a couple of days ago, I thought that your used an additional cutter besides these two, which I own. But instead I now see you use the same two I use but you add this additional help tool. Love it! Will be getting me one of those ASAP! My large cutter has been, up until a couple of days ago, giving me “obvious” not straight edges. The same day I saw your post, I made a call to Tonic and he said that the screws that hold the arm down have tension springs and that I should try tightening the top screw on the arm slightly. Like he said half inch turns. I did that. And now it is back to perfect accuracy! And when I get the help tool too that you suggested? Stand back world! LOL! Thanks again!ReplyCancel

  • Elizabeth CApril 8, 2011 - 8:16 am

    Thanks Becca! I used one of those triangles during my jr high drafting class. I can’t believe I never thought of using it for cutting. And the agony it would have saved me when I was teaching and cutting construction paper! LOL Wish I wasn’t retired now so I could back and prove I could cut straight! Ugh the amount of paper I wasted along the way!ReplyCancel

  • Ann C.April 8, 2011 - 8:23 am

    Great tip for the plastic triangle! I’ve had the same guillotine cutter since 1995 when I first started scrapbooking. It’s an old metal office type, still sharp. That’s all that was available then. I’ve tried a few other things, but it’s still my favorite.ReplyCancel

  • Judy I, St. Louis MOApril 8, 2011 - 8:45 am

    I had a 30% off coupon for my local stamp store right before my birthday. When I saw the only Tonic cutter they had I grabbed it and told the owner, “My husband doesn’t know how lucky he is. He just bought my birthday present and saved 30%!” The store owner assured me I’d love it, and I do, but thought my not always accurate cuts was just me. I’m off to Office Max to find an unbeveled triangle. Thanks for the great tip!ReplyCancel

  • Cheryl LApril 8, 2011 - 8:58 am

    After learning about your success with the Tonic cutters, I immediately went on-line and bought one. My old cutters have been giving me some terribly inaccurate cuts. I can’t wait for it to get here next week! Today, I’ll get a triangle ruler, and I’ll be ready when the cutter arrives. Thanks for all the tips and tutorials. Your blog is my “go-to” blog every morning, and anytime I need inspiration or advice.ReplyCancel

  • Sally GasparriApril 8, 2011 - 9:04 am

    I too own both of these cutters, and that is all I use. At times my cuts aren’t as straight as I would like them to be so I intend to purchase a triangular ruler and try your way. Thank you, once again, for what appears to be a genius of an idea.

    Thank you so very much. I love the idea and it certainly is going to make MY life easier!
    I’m going to invest in the tonic cutters as well as they look like they are more accurate than my good old fashioned wood one. It’s been invaluable to me, but it’s time to upgradeReplyCancel

    Thank you so much Becca for a very clear and most useful tutorial. Having to cut ‘anything’ has always been a scary prospect for me because I just can’t recognise the difference between straight v slant! So when something is ‘off’ I could end up trimming a ‘straight’ side to make the correction – two wrongs definitely do not make a right!!!! iykwim!!

    You are a treasure Becca and a selfless one at that.

  • BernieApril 8, 2011 - 12:21 pm

    OH MY Goodness why didn’t I think of that!!! My DH was a hobby woodworker and used what I believe he called a square, it did virtually the same thing so he’d get a straight edge on his wood every time. Good heavens I even have a triangle ruler one of the kids left behind when they left the nest. THANK YOU for opening my eyes. I don’t have the tonic but I am sure this will help until I can save up to get one.

    That was cool. I have often thought about making my own quilling strips. How many excess pieces of paper that are long but thin could be used like that.? Do you decorate with quilling strips? I am thinking with your tonic cutter and the triangle, you could make allot of strips.ReplyCancel

    Thank you so much Becca. I’ve been searching for so long for the perfect cutter. I always loved the guillotine cutter and have tried EVERY OTHER TYPE. I always go back to the guillotine. My guillotine is wood and not really accurate though. I bought one online and got really carried away with the heavy duty thing. I could cut a tree stump with this thing but not accurate at all. I keep it for the thick card board though. ha ha. I’m going to buy a tonic when I’m done with all the holidays and my hubby’s 50th and other family things this month. Sorry so long. Thank you again for all your tuts.
