Thank you so much for the kind, kind comments you left on my post about Spellbinders Sneak Peek Blog Frenzy!!  The ornament boxes were fun, fun, fun to make!!  I’ve had quite a few inquiries about where to get the template.  I created the box from scratch and don’t have formal template to send out right now.  After I return from CHA, I’ll have a video or step by step tutorial on how to make it.  In the mean time, I have cards to share. 

This set is precious!! One of the July releases with Our Daily Bread Designs is a set called Grow in Grace.  I just love the sentiments in this set and opted to use two of the sentiments on one card – I’d say they go together great!!  I sure don’t know how it happened, but this Antique Book Plate 2 has to be one of my very favorite Spellbinders die templates.  As you can see it is perfect for a sentiment.

I have recently discovered the pleasure of stenciling these templates with chalk ink.  Not sure what took me so long to get there but I had been stenciling with a brush and dye based ink.  With the chalk ink, I use a piece of sponge and the ink  is nearly opaque.  It goes on very smooth and covers the area very quickly.  I love the crisp solid look.  In wider open areas where there is the opportunity to shade, I think I’ll stick to the dye based ink but for these little areas I think I’ve found a match!

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Our Daily Bread Designs – Grow in Grace
Paper:  Making Memories Vintage Findings,  The Paper Company – Blonde Columns, Bazzill
Ink:  Onyx Black Versafine, Blue Chalk Ink
Accessories:  Spellbinders Antique Book Plate 2, Ribbon, Pearls

 

Here is another of the Our Daily Bread Designs releases from July.  I love the background stamp with the music from Amazing Grace.  I paired it with a sentiment stamp from Grow in Grace.   For an accent on the card I created a flower using layers from different Spellbinders templates – Flower Creations (eight Petal and large five petal), Sunflower Set One and Sunflower Set Two.  The sentiment is stamped on Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Our Daily Bread Designs – Amazing Grace Hymn, Grow in Grace
Paper:  SEI Windsor, The Paper Company – Khaki, Burgundy
Ink:  Versafine Vintage Sepia, Versafine Black Onyx
Accessories:  Spellbinders Flower Creations, Spellbinders Sunflower Set One, Spellbinders Sunflower Set Two, Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio, Ribbon, Pearl brad

Thanks friends!!  See ya soon I hope!

    Wow! You are soooo creative with your card making and they’re all just so beautiful.

    I love how you use Spellbinders dies – you make me want every single one you use and I’ve only recently started collecting.

    Thank you so much too for crafting your faith and showing just how lovely scripture cards can be. We need more of this in the world.

  • Karen ArthurJuly 22, 2009 - 12:51 pm

    Becca, these are gorgeous cards, as all of your cards are. I was especially drawn to the first card (blue one) for I love the sayings. It made me think of my sister who is going through some rough times right now. Her husband is in hospice care, she is disabled herself and so the weight of the world seems to be crashing down around her. She is strong in the Lords faith but everybody can still feel down. I will share this card with her so that she may feel uplifted with the saying.
    Thanks for your inspiration to us all.

I have several projects to share with you today and have been waiting with great anticipation!!  To start,  I will be sharing a vintage look Christmas Card made using S5-018 Poinsettia Frameability.  The template absolutely begs to be stenciled so I will take you step by step through the simple process with a tutorial below:
(Special note:  Please remember that many hours go into the making of tutorials so I ask that pictures and content not be republished elsewhere.  I encourage and welcome you to share the details by linking directly to this post.)

Card Recipe:
Accessories:  Spellbinders S5-018 Poinsettia Frameability, Gold Leaf, Helmar Vellum Spray Adhesive, Ribbon, Recollections Gems, Ranger Inkssentials Blender, sponges, Clear Embossing Powder, Firm Brush, Eclipse Masking Tape, Teflon Mat
Stamps:  Quietfire Design – All Hearts Come Home, Stampabilities
Paper:  Strathmore Art Paper – 12" x 18", Bazzill, Grafix Metallic Foil Board
Ink:  SU Ruby Red, SU Old Olive, SU Always Artichoke, Tea Dye Distress Ink, Versafine Vintage Sepia, Colorbox Chalk Ink – Lipstick Red, Colorbox Chalk Ink – Dark Moss


Let’s get started:

The detail on this die template is amazing and the dimensional poinsettia is a fun element that you can either accentuate or play down.  As for me, on all the projects I’m showing it was wonderful to let the rich red card stock below peek out.

Now on to my second project – a set of ornament boxes!  This frame is perfect for showcasing an ornament for this years ornament swap!!  The cut out part of the frame makes for a neat way to see and show off the contents.  The top folds up and down to allow the ornament to be removed.   The box is 4 1/2" on each side and with the top in place is 6 1/2" tall.  

After constructing the box, I created four panels using  Spellbinders S5-018 Poinsettia Frameability.  I stenciled the poinsettia and leaves on each panel then applied gold leaf to the remaining decorative scrolls on the frame. 

Here is a view looking down at the top that spirals open.

Here’s the ornament outside of the box.  The ribbon on the ornament threads through the top and serves as a way to tote the box also. 

Project Recipe:
Accessories:  Spellbinders S5-018 Poinsettia Frameability, Gold Leaf, Helmar Vellum Spray Adhesive, Pearls, Copic R29, Ribbon, Scor-Pal
Stamps:  None
Paper:  Strathmore Art Paper 12" x 18", Acetate
Ink:  SU Ruby Red, SU Old Olive, SU Always Artichoke, Tea Dye Distress Ink

While the larger box would go to the swap recipient, I also made a smaller box appropriate to give to the swap hostess.  So here is the smaller matching box.  It has a peek-a-boo hole at the top so that you can see the contents inside. 

 

The box is a 4" cube with a short lid.  To decorate the sides I used Spellbinders S4-218 Lattice Borderabilities.  In order to create the peek-a-boo hole at the top I used Spellbinders S4-113 Classic Ovals, Small then decorated the opening with the smaller frame from S5-018 Poinsettia Frameability.

 

Project Recipe:
Accessories:  Spellbinders S5-018 Poinsettia Frameability, Spellbinders S4-113 Classic Ovals – Small, Spellbinders S4-218 Lattice Borderabilities, Scor-Pal, Prima Flowers, Ribbon, Green Shred
Stamps:  Quietfire Design
Paper:  Strathmore Art Paper 12" x 18"
Ink:  SU Ruby Red, SU Old Olive, SU Always Artichoke, Tea Dye Distress Ink

I have the distinct feeling that many of these little boxes will be in my gift giving this year!

I’m tickled to introduce you to S5-018 Poinsettia Frameability – MSRP $24.99

The S5-018 Poinsettia Frameability is made up of a large frame, small frame and two accents.  The size of the large frame is 4 1/8" x 6 1/8" and the dimensions of the small frame are 3 5/16" x 2 9/16".    MSRP of the S5-018 Poinsettia Frameability is $24.99.

    I’ve been making a ton of boxes and 3D items lately and they all seem to pale in comparison to the amazing ornament box. Then I see that your paper is 12 x 18 and I’ve never heard of that!

    Wow. I am impressed. Nice job.ReplyCancel

I guess you could say that I’m coming up for air :)  Sorry to have been sooooo absent, I’ve been working on some things for CHA I forgot how much time really goes in to the thought and process of creating.  I’ve literally been living in the craft room for the last two weeks and have been woefully missing from commenting on blogs and seeing what’s going on out in the craft world.  So today I’m sharing something I made quite some time ago, but hadn’t had a chance to share.  This is a blank card using Spellbinders Eyelets Pendant,  Eyelets Borderabilites, Fancy Scallop Pierceability and Classic Scalloped Circles, Large.  It’s not my normal style, but the slots on that die template were just screaming for some ribbon to be threaded through them so, I gave in and did it, lol.  For the ribbon that’s threaded as a star, I simply twisted the ribbon to make each point before threading the ribbon into the next hole.  The ribbon threaded through the Borderability is simply knotted.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  None
Paper:  The Paper Company – Blonde Columns, Bazzill, K & Co.
Ink:  None
Accessories:  Spellbinders Eyelets Pendant, Spellbinders Eyelets Borderabilities, Spellbinders Fancy Scallop Pierceability, Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Circles Lage, Ribbon, Pearl, Button 

How about that Spellbinders Blog Frenzy?!?  Aren’t the new templates fabulous??  Guess who’s template comes up for reveal on Sunday night at midnight?  Hee…hee…that would be me.  I loved the template I worked with, it is so…well….me.  I just know you are going to like it to. Just in case you haven’t seen the parade of new templates, here is the encore as well as those still to be seen:

7/9       Debbie Olson

7/10     Michelle Wooderson

7/11     Karen Hunsaker

7//12    Kazan Clark

7/13     Linda Duke

7/14     Heidi Blankenship

7/15     Kimberly Crawford

7/16     Julie Overby

7/17     Sherry Cheever

7/18     Debbie Seyer

7/19     Lesa Rapp

7/20     Becca Feeken (that’s me!)

7/21     Jennifer Davis

7/22     Keri Lee Sereika

See you then.  In the meantime, be blessed my friends.  As always your kind words lift me up.

    Yippee!! for once I actually have ALL of the spellbinders that you used to make this card!! but the paper is going to be a toss up to see what will look as lovely as yours. My searches from my chair at home just see as well as my eyes do face to face so I am always guessing about the colors I am buying but thank you for always teaching us so I am learning the names and what to look for. now I just have to teach it all to my daughters. one of my dreams came true recently when my granddaughter and daughter both joined me in my craft room to make cards. It was so much fun! my daughters are always so busy with family and church that crafts do not have a high priority in their lives right now. but I keep telling them that a couple hours a month would do them a world of good. So thanks be to God for blessing me with my precious daughters and grandchildren and the best husband in the world.ReplyCancel
