Hello there friends!!  I hope you are having a magnificent Fourth of July for friends in America and a happy Sunday for friends elsewhere.   I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to pop in and say that and I have a small project to share.  This is a pop up card – and was it ever easy!!  I’ve never made one before but it was issued as a challenge on the Magnolia-licious DT, so I was certainly game to give it a try.    For my card I chose #392 Tilda with Peony from the recently released Wedding Collection from Magnolia-licious. Remember the palette I made to hold my distress inks?  It’s working like a charm and I reach for them more often than I did – I colored this Tilda using those. 

For the border on the upright part of the card I used Spellbinders In Spades Borderabilities Petite and actually used the throwaway part that you have after cutting the border.  This gave me that nice embossed sawtooth border!  I used the same thing to go around the Mega Ovals LG, I simply cut as close as I could to the edge without destroying the border.  This made it flexible so that I could curve the border to fit the oval.  After tying a bow, I added a Spellbinders Tag 5 round tag and used a rub on sentiment that says "remember this".  This kind of card will fold flat to fit into an envelope.  I’ll simply flatten the bow to send it on it’s way.

If you are interested in the tutorial to make the pop up card, you can find it HERE.  Better yet, make one and enter it in the challenge this month at Magnolia-licious.  There are prizes to be won and all the details can be found on the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog. 

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Through Magnolia-licious – Tilda with Peony
Paper:  Bazzill, K & Co
Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories:  Spellbinders Mega Ovals LG, Spellbinders Tags Five, Spellbinders In Spades Borderabilities Petite, Pearls, Ribbon, Making Memories Rub Ons, Clear Embossing Powder


Thanks so peeking in!!  I’ll be back soon!

    Becca your pop up card is beautiful. You are so creative I love how you used the Spellbinder spade border to make the saw tooth border very clever! I love to look at your blog for this very reason you think of things that my mind would never think of. Thanks so much for sharing!

    Super job with the distress inks Becca. I still have to try one of these pop up cards. I love the colours you used and the design looks terrific.

    Tilda has a gorgeous flushed look about her.

Hi there you sweet things!!  Ugh, I know I’m scarce, I’m working on some stuff behind the scenes but I took a break to make a quick video showing the much requested round origami thingies I used on my JustRite Card last week.   Hey, are you on the fence about the new Scor-Buddy?  I got mine this afternoon so you can take a peep at it in this video.  It’s so cute and it’s perfect for my workspace.   It has 1/8″ lines and 1/4″ lines – hallelujah!!! You know the way you felt about your Scor-pal?  Same feeling here, only better!!  If you haven’t preordered yours yet – I’m tellin’ ya, you’ll want to get on the list!! Okay, so on the the video – it’s short and sweet so don’t blink okay?  (P.S.  I know some of you will ask this – the tool that I use with my Scor-Pal/Scor-Buddy is simply an embossing tool – remember brass stencils?  I use that as well as the plastic tool that comes included – they both work the same :-)




Big Hugs Friends!  Thanks so much for stopping by :-)

  • Wendy AJuly 3, 2010 - 6:27 pm

    Hi Becca, this is such a wonderful idea, I tried your flowers the other day and used my small scalloped spellbinders to cut them out so they have a rippled edge. I like the idea of scoring them rather than folding like I did. It has a crisper edge. Thanks so much.ReplyCancel

    Becca,
    Thanks for sharing this with us. Thank your friend for us also. I was reading a previous comment above, how someone tried this using the scalloped circle die. Sounds like something else to try. Thanks Wendy (hope you are reading this). Sounds like it would also make a cute & fancy medallion.

  • Pat JandacekJuly 3, 2010 - 11:05 pm

    Thanks, Becca. Amazingly simple when it looks so complicated. I do have a question. You seemed to just put the circle ‘anyplace’ on the Scor-Buddy and scored the center. I’d have to start from the side and count how many slots there are, divide by two, and then count over to that slot, KWIM? What’s your secret?ReplyCancel

Here in the USA, this is a big holiday weekend and we know many of you are busy with company and family events, so we’re going to keep the hop real simple!  There are no secret words to collect, no email to send, but there are still goodies up for grabs.  Three of our design team has prizes hidden throughout the hop – even the designers don’t know.  You’ll want to make your way through the entire hop for sure!

Here’s What You Need to Know to Win:

  • The Blog Hop runs from 8am EST on Thursday, July 1 through 8pm EST on Friday, July 2nd.

  • There will be 3 Winners . . . who will each receive a free stamp set of their choice from the Our Daily Bread Designs Store.

  • Winners will be randomly chosen from all the qualified entries by the three designers with the blog candy and will be announced on Saturday, July 3rd on the ODBD Blog. 

 

Here’s What You Need to Do to Win: 

  • Hop to each blog of the Our Daily Bread Design team and leave a comment on each blog.

  • Return to the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog  and leave a comment that you completed the hop and left comments for each designer.

  • If for any reason you cannot leave a comment, please give us the name/s of the designers you were unable to leave comments for… and you’ll still be qualified for the drawing.


I have not done a 4th of July card yet this year so when Kelley showed us the new sets for this month, I was tickled that there was a patriotic verse to use.   I’m using the new set called Our Daily Bread.  I actually cheated a little bit and dug back into my older sets and picked up the eagles head  to also go my card it’s from the In God We Trust set.  For this one I simply added a Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Borderabilities Petite in red on the first layer of the card.  On the next layer I added a panel punched using my right angle punching technique and a Martha Stewart Punch Corner Punch – this particular one makes a border that looks like stars inside circles so it fit my theme just right.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Our Daily Bread Designs – Our Daily Bread, In God We Trust
Paper:  Bazzill, Kaisercraft, The Paper Company
Ink:  Walnut Stain Distress Ink, Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories:  Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Borderabilites Petite, Martha Stewart Corner Punch – Corner Quilted, clear embossing powder, buttons, ribbon

Okay, now I need to send you on your way.  Your next stop a is to visit my magnificent friend,

Grace Nywening

You won’t believe what she has dreamed up for you this time!!  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the hop.

    I just love the ways that you use paper punches, i have been looking for a book on how to create different looks with punches and i can’t seem to find anything, even on the net ! so this web site of your’s is such a real blessing to me, as i minister to those in need of encouragement through cards; thanks for all the inspirations ! and this is a new thing for me to blog hop so i will give it a try; oh- i have a ” card making” room, it used to be my living room ! i have alot of space in it, i am waiting to see what the lord will do to fill it up with supplies, as i headed the lords call on my life to do this card ministry, so, i pray that i will win so that i can minister to more and more folks who need a positive word of Godly encouragement. so i pray you will pick me. this ministry started after i had my kidney cancer, you might remember me as i put a lenghty comment on the last give a way. If i win, the stuff i win will go so much farther than me alone, it will touch so many lives– as i don’t make anything to keep for myself, if i did this i know the lord would take my ministry away from me, as i was called by him to minister to others and not myself !! crazy hugh ! but blessed and surviving cancer free today. thanks girl !! please remember me, i can always use prayer, i am disabled and alone most of the time, which to me is a blessing ’cause i can take that time and do alot of ministering ! thanks, GOD BLESS , love you and your work, i bet we would do some serious damage in my card room if we got together ! oh well, i live in louisianna in the hurricane rita affected area and no one wants to stay here long so , LOL , we will just have to visit on your blogs !
