Uplifting Cards | Believe in You

Good morning sweet friends! I’m popping in today for a quick post and to also let you know that there is a treat in store for you tomorrow. Tomorrow I’ll be sharing some stunning book/card/mini albums that the Creative Team have put together using the 3D Vignettes Collection by Spellbinders . In the meantime, today I’m sharing one of my uplifting cards that uses one of my favorite sentiments from Quietfire Design. It’s honestly a “feel good card” and so many times the recipient has called to say that it lifted their spirits precisely at a time they needed it. That’s the home run I’m always looking for — just to know that it helped. I’ve used some of the favorites you have in your stash: Lunette Arched Borders, and Cinch and Go Flowers II in the Chantilly Paper Lace Collection. I’m also using Hemstitch Rectangles from the Venise Lace Collection.

I send out cards quite regularly. I do try to change them up slightly so that it’s not the same card over and over again. That’s where embellishment dies come in handy. Simply by adding the flowers, a different frame and the arched border, I was able to disguise my normal layout.

Pour and Send

Thanks for stopping by friends. I hope that if you have a minute, that you’ll whip up something to uplift someone who might need it! It doesn’t have to be a masterpiece. It doesn’t have to be posted online or even use new things. We collect and have so many tools at hand! It’s a great experience to pour your heart out by creating and then to pass it along by sending. Pour and send, if you will :-)

Beautiful card Becca. I love the hemstitch rectangles – might have to open my wallet!! I know exactly what you mean about sending a card to uplift somebody. I noticed a lady who attends the crafts class we run in the village had seemed rather low for a few weeks so I made a card for her. She was so pleased that somebody had realised that there was something wrong and had gone to the trouble (her words, because certainly it was no trouble to me)to do something for her. Just goes to show that it is the little things that can mean the most ! Hugs Christine xReplyCancel

Dianne aka the kardladyFebruary 26, 2018 - 11:52 am

I agree with you Becca – and it’s so easy with the die cut images to swap one for another to make a new looking creation! I always admire your choices in sentiments – it’s so important to fit the need of the receiver. Thank you for sharing and for your encouragement. Hugs Dianne aka the kardladyReplyCancel

Beautiful card, Becca. I love everything about this, especially the love and care you always show to others. It’s reflected in your art and in your life.ReplyCancel
Theresa BushFebruary 26, 2018 - 1:21 pm

What a beautiful card. I think sending an “I care” card is an excellent idea. I’m usually trying to make cards that take a lot of time which I don’t have a lot of. But something like this I can make to keep on hand. Thanks so much.ReplyCancel

Doreen JohnsonFebruary 26, 2018 - 2:10 pm

Hi Becca

I just wanted to tell you how beautiful your cards are. Each one is more beautiful than the previous one and I really enjoy seeing your creations.

I noticed that you use a lot of ribbon on your cards and just wondered if you have a special place to purchase it. I live in New Brunswick, Canada and I can’t seem to find really nice ribbon. I would appreciate it if you could offer some suggestions of where I could purchase some.

“Pour and send”- that is such a great idea. Funny, I was thinking this morning about making a card and sending it to a very nice person I met at Creativation. Inspiring stamps from Quietfire were rolling through my mind. Will need to pour and send to this person.

Your card is beautiful and I adore the window frame you created. The flowers are so pretty!

Have a great day! HugsReplyCancel
Yvonne MarshallFebruary 27, 2018 - 7:32 pm

Hello Becca, I look at your cards over and over they gave me such joy. What talent you and your team have. My daughter is getting married this year and I will be using the ornamental arch and layered happily ever after die to create her invitations. Thanks for sharing such magnificent talent with us.ReplyCancel

Grand Dome Card Ensemble | Creative Team Inspiration

by Becca Feeken18 comments

Good morning sweet friends! Today’s post is long with pictures, inspiration and a Grand Card tip!! First of all let me say that I’ve caught up with mailing dies out to all prize winners – I’ll list below those who have claimed their dies so that I could get them into the mail. Otherwise, today I’ve made a Grand Dome Card Ensemble using Quietfire Design Stamps to create ready to go cards for several occasions in a sweet card caddy. Three Die sets were used from the Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignettes Collection by Spellbinders die sets: Grand Dome, Petite Double Bow and from the Venise Lace Collection I used the center from Marcheline Plume. The tiny tag (that I love hanging on things) comes from Graceful Tiny Tags.

Note: All Amazing Paper Grace Collections are 15% off at Scrapbook.com until midnight MST on Thursday, February 22nd they are grouped together —> HERE

For the Grand Dome Card Ensemble caddy is assembled just as I did in this video except I’m using only the front and the back, no inserts. I also use a side piece as a bottom piece and added a 12″ strip of paper for the handle.

Next, for the cards I cut them double as I do using the hinge method. The chads fall out of the front panel but do not fall out of the back panel with the 80lb paper I used. Then I added an extra panel on top with an aperture.

I love making these type of sets because it means I’ll have a variety of ready made cards on hand.
I used my favorite sentiments from Quietfire Design:

The Greatest Strength
The Best Thing – Believe in You
Worry
The Moment A Child is Born

Grand Card Tip:

Several people have asked how I get edges on a Grand Card (like the Grand Dome or the Grand Cabinet Card) without having the tabs pointing out on the side. The way the side piece dies are configured, you can cut with slots or without slots. For cards that have no tabs pointing out I simply flex and glued or taped down the tabs and covered with a duplicate side piece that has no slot!!

Stamps: Quietfire Design: The Greatest Strength, The Best Thing – Believe in You, Worry, The Moment A Child is Born
Paper: Bazzill

Accessories: Amazing Paper Grace Dies by Spellbinders, Grand Dome, Petite Double Bow, Marcheline Plume, Graceful Tiny Tags.

Now, here are the winners, who won dies, whose prizes have been mailed!! If your name is not on the list and you claimed a prize (within two weeks of announcement) from one of the blog hops – please reach out to me.

And now for an inspiration treat, this week the Creative Team is showcasing Z Cards today and they are gorgeous!! I love what everyone has done with the single elements from the 3D Vignettes and a Z Card is a nice way to overlap the two layering elements. These are cards that can be done without the Grand Bases and need only layered elements and embellishments :-)

Hi Becca, Just received my first set of the new dies and I cut some last nght, they cut like a hot knife thru butter. Have to watch the video once more for the assembly. One of your dies that I ordered from Spellbinders was not in stock so I went ahead and bought it from ebay (someone whom I have bought quite a few and she sends them out really fast). So excited about working with these “amazing” dies that you have created. You are a gem my friend!!!!!And all of the designers on your team are excellent.

Spellbinders February 13th 2018 Blog Hop

by Becca Feeken130 comments

Hi there Becca Feeken with Amazing Paper Grace here. We’re having another Spellbinders blog hop to celebrate new collections and today I’m going to share with you an alternate use for one of the new die sets I designed for my 3D Vignettes Collection by Spellbinders. If you have come from the Spellbinders Blog, you are in the right place and I’ll link you to your next location below.

3D Vignettes is a series of theme dies that can be inserted into what is cut with a Grand Base die to create 3D upright cards that fold down flat to go into an envelope – a collapsible tunnel card! If you cannot envision it here, you can see it in action in the 1.5 minute video ——> HERE. Where these Vignettes are unique, is the ability to die cut or not die cut each and every layer for an ethereal see through dimensional layered creation. Collection elements were designed to cut out whole or to be cut out inlaid for inclusion in a Grand Base. The collection centers around three themes – baby, love and birthday. The die set that I’m using today is 3D Vignettes – Grand Dome along with 3D Vignettes – Filigree Numbers. In addition I’m using Cinch and Go Flowers III and Vintage Elegance – Filigree Pocket.

My creation looks like the normal card you would create however it is open on one side, which essentially creates pages. I used the opportunity to create a 10 Things I Love About You Card Book.

There are 10 numbered pages and on each page is a small filigree pocket that has a double folded card. Inside the mini card is a space to hand write one of the 10 things and there are 10 mini cards. I used the round/oval medallion that comes with the 3D Vignettes – Grand Dome to make a topper that ribbon is threaded through. That way each mini card can be pulled out individually. There are a total of 5 pages with a pocket on the front and back of each page except the Cover and End.

The flowers are quick and simple inked petals using Cinch and Go Flowers III .

Stamps: N/A
Paper: Neenah Classic Crest – 80lb Smooth – Cover, Metallic Gold Poster Board,
Ink: Ranger Distress Inks – Victorian Velvet
Accessories: Amazing Paper Grace Dies, Spellbinders – 3D Vignettes – Grand Dome, Spellbinders – 3D Vignettes – Filigree Numbers, Spellbinders – Vintage Elegance – Filigree Pocket, Spellbinders Cinch and Go Flowers III, PL-001 Platinum™ Die Cutting And Embossing Machine with 8.5″ Platform

Okay, Becca,
This absolutely cinches it – I must have the Grand Dome die!!!
This booklet format is the one that fits my projects perfectly and, woohoo, there are so many more possibilities (I think you’re just scratching the surface!).

My “go to” color is black. If I don’t use it as a base, I use it as a layer because it makes other colors pop.

I just love this new collection of dies!!!
Love & blessings,
SandyReplyCancel

  Further to my earlier comment, I hopped on all the blogs and it was fun to see all the creative ways these ladies used your dies. I’m still in awe. As with any tool, the best ones are those we use. With so much versatility these are ones we surely need in our “tool boxes”!ReplyCancel

Now, to answer your question… I’m supposed to have a ‘go-to’ color?! lol! I usually just reach for whatever I think will work with my project, but I just went and looked at my Instagram and I seem to use a lot of white as it goes with everything, so that must be my go-to color.ReplyCancel

I gravitate to blue. It’s always
been my favorite color in everything
so it seems a lot of my cards are
touched with blue somewhere. Gold
and silver are also prominent – love
the richness. The album is
fantastic – would be a wonderful
give for a wedding shower or wedding.

Becca, Your creativity never ceases to amaze me. Your die designs are always so beautiful and I love that they are interchangeable with the previous releases. And I love how you think “out of the box” when it comes to using your dies. It helps me to look at my dies more creatively. I use white for most of my cards but will go to off-white/cream when I want to do something more elegant.ReplyCancel

Lynn ConlonFebruary 14, 2018 - 12:33 am

You have outdone yourself with these dies and the many ways they can be used Becca. I’m always looking for Wedding card ideas that have a wow factor and I know I’ve found several with this die release. My normal “go to” color is white. I find that most colors really pop on white paper. It gain color I use a variety of ways including dies, copics, alcohol inks, papers, and foil. I will be buying this group. I am looking forward to making something unique with them.ReplyCancel

My go-to colour is white first as I can enhance it easily with inks/dues. Love this book idea, would have loved to have made it for Valentine’s day… Next year. Happy Valentine’s day everyoneReplyCancel
Joy MossFebruary 14, 2018 - 7:03 am

Hi Becca! When I first saw these I went to the Spellbinders website and left a “notify me” message. CAN’T WAIT to get my hands on these!!! My sister got married on New Years Eve day and I haven’t sent a card because I want to make one for her using these series of dies.
I don’t know if I have a ‘go to’ color for cards. But I do know I frequently run out of black card stock and white card stock. So I guess my go-to colors are black and white!ReplyCancel
Susan G.February 14, 2018 - 7:38 am

Wow. These dies are amazing. I love that you can make projects/ cards that fold flat. I have alot of family and friends that are not living close by. Congratulations on another spectacular release. Thank you for a chance to win to help buy them.ReplyCancel
- Susan G.February 14, 2018 - 8:36 am
  
  I forgot to say that my go to color is white or vanilla depending on the color/colors I will be using. Lately I have been adding a touch of red a lot.ReplyCancel
Aimee LaCroix-SlocumFebruary 14, 2018 - 8:17 am

You have made a beautiful card book and such a unique way to use these dies and open up the possibilities!
My go-to color? So hard to say….since my favorite color is rainbow I usually go with a rainbow of color. If I tend toward one, it seems to be navy or in the pink family.ReplyCancel

SuzzieQFebruary 14, 2018 - 9:51 am

Wonderful and exciting new release. My go to color is mostly white for my base card, with ivory in second place. After that, I enjoy some shade of purple if I can get away with using this purple. I do change the colors around for the men in my life to use more masculine colors. I have a lot of pink cardstock on hand and need to “think” pink for awhile.ReplyCancel
Teresa DoyleFebruary 14, 2018 - 10:08 am

WOW Becca, how stunning! Your card\book is out of this world. I tend to make (95%) of my cards using white bases as I can do whatever I want after that and it always works.ReplyCancel
Stephanie RogersFebruary 14, 2018 - 10:11 am

I love your work. The colors and designs are spot on! I may have to case one sometime! Ordering the dies so I may play. I have many colors in my stash and try to use my not so favorites to challenge myself. I usually use white bases for all.ReplyCancel

Jessica BruceFebruary 15, 2018 - 6:29 am

So beautiful! Your work is always so inspiring! I don’t know if I have a go-to color or not…most of the time it depends on what I’m making and for whom/what occasion. If I had to pick a favorite I tend to be drawn to black and white designs…but black is the absence of color, right??ReplyCancel
