Our sweet friend Michelle Rodgers is under the weather so the Design Team for Stamper’s Dream all got together to send her healing thoughts.   Hope you’re back on your feet soon Michelle!   Now if you got here from Laurie Schmidlin’s blog, you are in the right place.  

I’m sending well wishes to Michelle with this little birdie.  I cut the frame with an AllDeco Punch and the Ornament Chickadee is from Impression-Obsession. The sentiment comes from JustRite Stamps and is embossed with Versafine Black Onyx.  The birdie is colored with Copic Markers, easy peasy!  Your next stop along the way is with Dawn Easton.

Card Recipe:
Stamp:  Impression-Obsession
Paper:  The Paper Company, Bazzill, K & Co
Ink:  Versafine – Black Onyx
Accessories:  AllDeco Punch, Offray Ribbon, Pearls, Copic Markers

For those who asked about the lace flowers from yesterday, yes, I will make a quick tutorial – it was actually very simple so the video should be short and sweet (even with my longwindedness :-))

I also said that I would announce the winner to my Blogaversary Blog Candy this morning.   What was I thinking???  There were over 1500 entries and I promised a bonus if the winner left a list item every day, so it looks like I have a bit of reading to do, lol!  I’ll post the winner back here on Sunday morning.  Thanks for your patience, and if you have not read the entries for the Blog Candy, they are amazing – you can see them HERE.

See you tomorrow!

    Your little bird is sooo pretty and I love how it is just “perched” on your ribbon! Beautiful!ReplyCancel

    Beautiful card Becca.
    Now, I left a comment everyday on your blog candy post but if, in the very unlikely event that I win, I’m unlikely to be able to claim the candy. I’m off on vacation Sunday afternoon and, as I’m in the UK and 6 hours ahead of you I will probably have left for the airport by the time you post the winner. I will give congratulations to whoever does win and hope that they will enjoy the candy as much as I’m sure I’m going to enjoy my vacation … safari and beach for a really relaxing break and 3 weeks of it as well!ReplyCancel

  • DianeFebruary 14, 2010 - 1:03 pm

    2 questions if you don’t mind… 1. The sentiment from JustRite… is it from a set or did you create it from two font sets on your own? I’m just getting into JustRite Stamper products so wondered if this is from a set I should be looking for or if I need to keep collecting the various font sets! LOL!! And… 2. You put beautiful bows on most of your cards… but how do you mail them??? Or even put them into an envelope for giving??? I make cards because I live far away from most family and even friends because of a recent move so all of my cards have to be mailed. I’ve thought about trying a bow and sort of stuffing it with tissue paper or cotton or the like and see how it works in the mail but I’d love any suggestions that you’ve found to be tried and true.

    Thanks… as always I LOVE your work!

OMGosh, TGIF!  I have a quick card to share using a sentiment from this months Our Daily Bread Designs release – You Will Find Refuge.    I was playing around with Spellbinders™ Classic Lace Border Grand and came up with these flowers.  After I had them made I figured out I better do something with them so I simply lined them down the card then added the sentiment.  For the sentiment I stamped on Spellbinders™ Standard Circles SM, cut in half, then added Spellbinders™ Petite Scalloped Circles LG, cut in half.

The center buttons on the flower were made with the I-Topper.  They make a button roughly 7/8" in diameter which seemed to be the perfect diameter for wrapping the border around.  Okay, you caught me on my "experimental" day.  I’ll be back tomorrow with another card.

Card Recipe
Stamps:  Our Daily Bread Designs – You Will Find Refuge
Paper:  The Paper Company,  K&Co.
Ink:  Ancient Page – Chocolate
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Classic Lace Border Grand, Spellbinders™ Standard Circles SM, Spellbinders™ Petite Scalloped Circles LG, I-Topper Brads, Brads Ribbon

Be blessed my friends!

    Upon close examination I can see where you’ve sliced each petal from the other so you can curve it, but if it’s much more involved than that you are planning to make a tutorial, aren’t you? I marvel at the talent you have for using things in more than one way, and thank you for sharing it with us.ReplyCancel

    Oh Becca,
    You are so wonderful and talented. Graced by God for sure!!
    I love your flower….I wonder if you didn’t cut it. Otherwise it would be hard to get it to bend and stand like this? Did you score it at all round and then fold it in a bit to shape it, then bend the ends?
    I hope you are going to show us all how you made it. For once I actually have the Spellbinder Lace Border that you have used and would love to know how to do it properly.

You still have until Friday night at Midnight to enter for the blog candy.  Read about the rules and enter HERE.

I’m using one of the new sets from Our Daily Bread Designs called Nest.  The sentiments are wonderful and cover so many occasions, so I’ve made a card that can be used as housewarming, welcome to the neighborhood or just a gift.  In order to get the sentiment to fit on the tag I created, I used my Stampamajig to split the sentiment in half – ya gotta love that tool!!   I was intrigued by the shape made when crossing two Spellbinders™ Labels Four and used it as a mat for my oval medallion using Spellbinders™ Petite Scalloped Ovals LG, Spellbinders™ Petite Ovals SM and Spellbinders™ Petite Ovals LG.

From my stash I had a piece of lace that is actually raw on the edges and is probably used for insertion in heirloom sewing – it just seemed to add a little bit of interest to the underlying green ribbon.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Our Daily Bread Designs – Nest
Paper:  Bazzill, Graphic 45 – Florentine, K&Co. – Lifes’ Journey
Ink:  Versafine – Sepia
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Labels Four, Spellbinders™ Petite Scalloped Ovals LG, Spellbinders™ Petite Ovals SM, Spellbinders™ Petite Ovals LG, Copic Markers, Pearls, Ribbon

Thanks for stopping by today.  Mwah!

  • luvglitztooFebruary 11, 2010 - 6:29 pm

    Another stunning card. Your choice of colors and textures are great. How do you do it? I mean really. How do you start to put it all together and make it so wonderful? If you haven’t done it already I would love to see you put together a tutorial on your process. How do you get started when you have a blank card in front of you? That’s my problem. I think that I will put that on my bucket list. . . helping you help us. Hahahahaha.ReplyCancel

  • JannaFebruary 11, 2010 - 6:47 pm

    You are “amazing” your cards are absolutely beautiful. I love the bird nest stamp and you have done a very unique card with it. One thing on my bucket list is to go Wyoming when they have the big rodeo. My family went when I was young and I have always wanted to go back.ReplyCancel

  • TeelaFebruary 11, 2010 - 7:29 pm

    Beautiful colors, great paper combos. I’m learning so much from you : )ReplyCancel

  • Patty WFebruary 12, 2010 - 12:19 am

    Hi Becca, Hope you and your family are doing better. I’m still praying for ya too. You’re card is beautiful. Your coloring is beyond compare. I study your work and try to use your technique when I color. (I didn’t say I achieve it, but I try.) What a nice gift this card would be, for someone to get when they move into your neighborhood. As for the “B” list……..My husband lived in Idaho when he was a young man. He traveled all over the west and from Canada to Texas. He loved it. He’s talked so much about it that I have wanted to go there too. Well, you know with work and getting a start in life, building a home, having children (5), we didn’t have the time or money to go. Now the kids are out of college and out of the house, so now’s the time, right? Hopefully if life doesn’t get in the way, my Sweetie and I will get there. That’s the Plan! Thanks for letting me try to win your fun candy. I would sooo love to win! Blessings! Patty W.ReplyCancel

    Last bucket “thing”: I dunno. I just can’t think of any more. I am going to sit down and make a list, including the things I’ve posted here, and turn it into a scrapbook page.ReplyCancel

  • RubyFebruary 12, 2010 - 7:53 am

    Just a fab-u-las card, you always kick it up a notch. As for my bucket list, guess it would be learn a new language, probably a romantic one, French. Bonjour and Au Revoir! (its a start)ReplyCancel

  • SharonFebruary 12, 2010 - 8:24 am

    Your cards are always wonderful, Becca, but there’s something about this one that really sings to me. Maybe it’s the colors, the stamp, the design – everything you do is inspiring.ReplyCancel

  • Kyle E.February 12, 2010 - 9:36 am

    One more bucket list item: To share my time and talents helping others.ReplyCancel

  • ToshFebruary 12, 2010 - 10:02 am

    So charming Becca!! I LOVE that nest image and you colored it beautifully!!ReplyCancel

  • Lynne PhelpsFebruary 12, 2010 - 10:37 am

    You are right – the “ribbon” is called entredeux (between two) and it is used as insertion between two pieces of fabric – usually a fine cotton batiste! With the opening being so wide, this probably would have been used as beading with a fine satin ribbon woven in and out through the bars – maybe you can try that technique with your entredeux on another card! I used to do lots of French heirloom sewing by hand and machine when my darling neices were young, I sure miss all the special requests for American Girl doll clothes! Now they are in college – I’ll have to hope for lots of grands!

    Your card is exquisite, I have Label 4 and I am in love with how they look crossed! Brilliant, as always!ReplyCancel

  • janeyFebruary 12, 2010 - 12:32 pm

    Another beautiful card, Becca. The deep green ribbon is stunning…a comforting color to me. Another bucket list desire would be to have a week long workshop with you. I don’t want to copy your art, however, I would like to learn a sense of how you put things together; what is the creative process that you go through.

    Thank you for giving us this topic to dream and share.ReplyCancel

  • GeorgetteFebruary 12, 2010 - 2:24 pm

    Becca, this card is absolutely beautiful. The nest in the oval really looks like it is embroiderd and still in the hoop. You never cease to amaze me. Thanks for always sharing.ReplyCancel

  • Betty GoodsonFebruary 12, 2010 - 2:46 pm

    This is gorgeous… You make the best bows ever, they bring such beauty to you cards. I keep telling myself I have to take bow lessons from you… I can’t tie a bow if my life depended on it…well maybe then…lolReplyCancel

  • Bonnie RabonFebruary 12, 2010 - 4:47 pm

    Hi Becca. I’ve thought of another item for my bucket list. I would like to scan all my photos and put them on disks for safe keeping. Plus i could share them with family members.

    Such a pretty card today. You know, I’m kind of curious about your scrap area. Have you ever taken photos of it? I’m sorry, I guess I’m just nosy, lol. Take care,
    ~BonnieReplyCancel

  • Linda StandartFebruary 13, 2010 - 8:24 am

    It’s a beautiful card and a wonderfully creative use of the ribbon insertion strip. Incidentally, that’s what it is. Not lace. And you were right in your guess concerning one of its uses. It was a common element in Ladies ‘intimate garments’ in times before elastic. Ribbon was threaded through, gathered and tied in a knot or bow. So it was both functional and decorative. Today it’s usually just a decorative element.ReplyCancel
