Hello there!!  I’m still plugging away – yep my craft room is a mess but I cleared a path to the table.  I have a quick card to share with you today with a sweet little boy.  This has to be one of the only little boy stamps that I have in my stash and I love it!!  It’s called Fly Away and it’s one of those adorable Penny Black Stamps from Stamper’s Dream.
I colored it up with my Copic Markers on Prism Simply  Smooth Ivory Cardstock.  The background was created using two Impression-Obsession Cover A Card Stamps (Small Dots and Thick and Thin Stripes) – can you say quick and easy background?  I smudged all my edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink then added the little buttons.  No bow today :-) just knots – sheesh he’s a boy for heaven’s sake!! 

Back to work for me, I’ll pop in again soon!!

    I love this little boy stamp! Your coloring really brings him to life! I have 3 sons and 3 grandsons…not to mention a husband who loves to act like a child! LOL
    This is incredible!

    I don’t know if anyone has won your blog candy yet. If she hasn’t contacted you yet, and it continues to stay out there, will you please include me.

    I will be computerless for a few days, however, we have a family funeral to go to. If I happen to win, will you please give me until Monday evening to contact you? I would greatly appreciate it.

    This little boy could be any of my grandson’s going to their other grandmother’s funeral this weekend. Life is sure full of mysteries. God is in control, however!
    Amen?ReplyCancel

Well, try as I may to give away some goodies, the winner of the blog candy didn’t come back to claim the prize.  I hope too much time has not gone by – I gave it a little bit more than the 48 hours so I’m sure many of you thought the goodies were long gone.  There are those of you who come back every day and I hope here’s where that gives you an advantage ;-)  I selected another name by random.org and will wait another 48 hours for the winner to claim their goodies.  Here’s what I came up with:

Random.org picked the number 877

#877 was left by Sylvia/Little Treasures who said:

I’ve been commenting on Woodman’s my favorite In LaCrosse, Wis but it really is in Onalaska. Looked it up on my Search Engine and is an employee owned store since 1918. In Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. Not much of a shopper but If I’m having a series of bad news days, I might just get in my car and travel to CLear Lake, Ia about 30 minutes away and enjoy the “Old Fashioned” stores. Similar to Ben Franklin, Small Antique Shops, unique little food specialties shops, an awesome flower shop and gather ideas to get my mind refreshed and my spirits uplifted. It usually works. And being a “By the Lake” town, there is always weekends at the park with great celebrations. Art Fairs, Feb. Kite Flying, Xmas Parade, Old Boat Shows, Food Fairs, Antiques in the Park, Summer Music in the Park nights and a huge 4th of July celebration. It is also home of the Surf Ballroom and the BIG BUDDY HOLLY WEEKEND in Feb. Pretty thankful I am from the Midwest.

Sylvia, please reach out to me through my contact page at the top of the blog to let me know your address and I’ll send the goodies on their way.  After 48 hours go by, I’ll pick another name if no one steps forward.

God Bless you all!

Single Tied Bow

Hi there!!  I’m moving a piece of furniture in my studio so you cannot begin to imagine the mess in which I’ve been trying to work.  I joke with Hubby that my studio is much like that hand held puzzle where you have 16 slots and 15 numbers that you have to slide around to get them in ascending order.  To move one item causes a chain reaction!!  So for this card I’m keeping it simple and have made a graduation card that will come in handy for a young lady I know.  I have to say that there is not one pop dot on the whole card and the layers are very simple!!

Success Card in Sleeve

Basically this is a flat pocket card that fits into an envelope.  Up above the scallops, which I cut with Spellbinders™ Big Scalloped Borderabilities® Petite, the word “success” peeks out and the stunning vellum gives a great idea of what lies inside.  There is wired ribbon tied on the outside of the pocket and I created a medallion to cinch the bow using Spellbinders™ Blossom Two, the companion piece from Spellbinders™ Eyelets Pendant and the companion piece from Spellbinders™ Lotus Pendant.  A hole was cut in the center of two of the pieces and one of the pieces already has a hole – simply the ribbon was threaded through and the bow tied.  For the inside of the card both swirl and sentiment were stamped and layered on pink cardstock so that only the word success appears.   The card is roughly 5″ x 7″ and fits into an A7 envelope.


 Success Card Out of Sleeve

This is a little bit of a departure for me, but I love the simplicity. My cards usually open with a top fold, for this one, I’ll simply jot my best wishes on the back.   I created an A7 envelope and instead of gluing the envelope so that the flap opens the long way, I turned it to open the short way.  To send this off, I’ll flatten the ribbon a little bit and slip it in the envelope then slip the protected card in to a little bubble wrap mailer and off it goes.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Retired PSX – Success
Paper:  Bazzill, Vellum – It Takes Two
Ink:  Versafine – Onyx Black
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Big Scalloped Borderabilities® Petite, Spellbinders™ Blossom Two, Spellbinders™ Eyelets Pendant, Spellbinders™ Lotus Pendant, Vellum glue, Ribbon

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

    It IS good to hear that I’m not the only one… I’ve been delaying adding and/or changing storage units because of the difficulty and turmoil getting materials back in some reasonable order. My husband says it’s not because I don’t have enough room. It’s because I have ‘too much stuff!” Can you imagine!! Anyway, another beautiful card and a great variation from the standard card. I appreciate hearing how you mail your cards with their gorgeous ribbons.ReplyCancel

    Delightful card and the colors are “So Spring” This card would also look nice as a regular card not just a pocket card.
    Thanks for sharing
    I don’t have the luxury of a dedicated craft room. The table in my dinette area is where I eat, stamp, do other crafts , sew, fold laundry and pay bills LOL
    I have to put everything away the minute I finishing using it . I would love to be able to leave a project on the table and close the doorReplyCancel

    I love the card and really hope someday “soon” you will show us your craft room. I look forward to your blog everyday. Thanks for beautiful cards.ReplyCancel

    This must be shake up your craft room week ’cause I’m in the same boat but I sure didn’t make any cards to compare to yours! That is sooo pretty with the flowered vellum and I love the idea of the card inside not opening since it cuts down on the bulk if you mail it.
    Thanks for sharing! :o)ReplyCancel

    Lovely card and the use of the floral frog to hold it is a stroke of genius! I must try that for next photo session.

    The problem with rearranging is that I can’t find a blooming thing when I’m finished!ReplyCancel

  • Debby WaltersApril 12, 2010 - 1:43 pm

    ahhhhhh… another beautiful card. Everytime I clean up or rearrange something, I can never find what I am looking for. It almost isnt worth the effort.ReplyCancel

  • lois skiathitisApril 12, 2010 - 1:50 pm

    Your card is just lovely Becca, such pretty colors you chose, they are so soft and feminine. I’m stepping over boxes all the time. I need to take a crash course in organization, it doesn’t come easy for me. You’ll get the job done, just like i will. As always Becca,TFS!!! :-DReplyCancel

    I have a really strange question – your cards are so magnificent and beyond compare BUT – how do you mail them and have them arrive in the same beautiful condition they are when you photograph them????

    ThanksReplyCancel

  • CindyApril 12, 2010 - 8:36 pm

    Beautiful card. I love how you incorporate wider ribbon into your cards. I need to try that…ReplyCancel

  • Susan GApril 13, 2010 - 1:10 am

    My studio is still in the planning stages, my “scrap crap” as hubby calls it, is all over the house. LOL! Good luck :)

    anyway…this card is GORGEOUS!!, and the young lady will most likely save it forever in her year book or scrapbook, because of the Emerson piece you selected, and the SUCCESSFUL card that it is in :)

    Just Lovely!

    What a beautiful card! I love the idea of a vellum pocket, but even better is that medallion for the bow. What a great idea! And, as is so you, the bow is so dreamy. I’ve been looking for wider silk ribbon now because of you, love those bows. What kind of paper do you make your envelopes out of, and what size did it take to do a flipped one that size?ReplyCancel

  • Chrissy SApril 13, 2010 - 4:44 am

    Hi Becca, I would asume that moving furniture means the knee is all better? I think you have a lot of pent up energy. Beautiful card, I like the pocket simplicity.

    You simply inspire me. I come here practically every day to see if you can top the previous card and every time you do. I don’t know where you get your inspiration from, but you certainly inspire me.
