Come Closer Please

Your cards have such elegance and beauty. While I can’t create cards like yours, I get inspiration and ideas from you cards and layouts. Thanks for all you share.ReplyCancel

Your use of Spellbinders is what initially caught my eye.. the way you mix and match them in your designs. I love the pearls, the bows, and best of all, the faith that pours out of your cards. Very special!ReplyCancel

I enjoy all of your work so choosing just one is impossible. My eye/brain immediately eliminates those with pink. I enjoy all your 3-D creations and numbers 3, 13, and 28 of this collection.

A Happy and Healthy New Year to you Becca!ReplyCancel

Wow! is all I can say! I don’t know how you do it day after day – creating so much beauty and elegance with a little paper, ink, ribbon! Thank you!ReplyCancel

As Julie above said, it was initially the Spellbinder samples that drew me in, but I love all the rest too. Your color choices are awesome, and you encourage me to add more to my creations (I am shy about a lot of embellishments or bling, although I love them!).ReplyCancel

Most of the cards that I make are modled after your cards. As I am new to card making, I haven’t collected as many beautiful papers as you have and I do a lot of ajusting to make my cards. But you really are an insperation to me. Thank you. CaroleReplyCancel

However, they are all beautiful.ReplyCancel

I cannot pick out one individual card, they are all of great inspiration, especially those ones that I can adapt with the limited supply of spellbinders dies that I have. If I have to pick No: 3. You are so talented.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca,
I’m sorry, I can’t pick any favourites as they all their own individual styles and exquisite details. Thank you so much for continuing to share your amazing talent.
Hugs
Louise xxReplyCancel

happy new year Becca-just back and catching up- thank you for keeping me inspired- I love all your works/products they are feminine and pretty but never to over the top with construction- I also love the way you think outside the square or box so to speakReplyCancel

I love the soft feminine touches you add to your elegant cards. I have several favourites, too, which seem to include lace and pearls…..ReplyCancel

I can’t chose because all of your cards are so beautiful . I love the elegance of card #2 and the feminine charm of card #8. The way you use Spellbinder dies is amazing. I never pre-order any Spellbinder dies after CHA until I see what you do with them. I have seen dies released that were blah to me and then I saw a wow card you made with them and I want them.
All I want to see in 2012 are cards that are “Simply Becca” :) You have a very unique style that I love and I would recognize yours if there were a hundred different cards with no designer names attachedReplyCancel

Hi Becca, you have such a distinctive style I can spot your cards at a distance! I too have recently come across your wonderful blog and website. The thing about your cards is that they inspire me to have a go; they ARE possible to do and at times can really challenge my developing crafting skills. Therein lies the trick – for me to get all that inspiration in one place is pretty marvellous.
I have become a a keen advocate and user of Spellbinders dies, JustRite and Waltzingmouse stamps – all because of your work. I have entered a world I didn’t know existed and it really excites me and delights my family and friends because it keeps me out of mischief – and the added benefit – it’s great for the diet because you just can’t snack and make cards at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!ReplyCancel

I am drawn to your beautiful soft colors- I love pink and the great tutorials and mix of spiritual stamps and the Spellbinders ideas you use. Plus, your cards are just knock out stunning!!! You are sweet and Oh so talented! I look forward to your posts and your inspiration! Thanks for a beautiful walk in your card garden!!!ReplyCancel

I have to agree with all the ladies above. I can’t pick just one card (sort of like eating potato chips). All your cards are so beautiful and creative. I really like your use of lace and ribbons. Thanks for posting these. I am going to try the first card in row 2 for my Valentine anniversary this year. After seeing this card in your blog I bought the embossing folder. Your talent is simply amazing Becca.ReplyCancel

Ooh Becca, I sure can´t pic any favorites, as I simply love all your work, and always looks forward to see, what you´ll surprice us with next time, and I´ve always been positive surprised every time. I love your romantic style and flair for colors and you always use such gorgeous papers and dies. Like many here, I´m a total fan of Spellbinders dies and you´re always showing such awesome and untraditional ways to use them, which I absolutely love.
All your work is sooooo gorgeous and I don´t think, you´ve ever made anything, I didn´t like, and you´re inspiring me in so many different ways all the time, so that I have dared to try many things, I would never have believed a few years ago, but you always make everything seem so easy, that we all really believe, we can do it too, and dare to try, and thank you so much for that. You are a huge inspiration in anything you do, and I just hope, you´ll continue the way, you have done until now, as it has been soo awesome.
Have a wonderful New Year hun and keep on like always hun, you´re doing such a wonderful job as it is.ReplyCancel

Becca I simply adore you and your style of artistry. As I have said in the past, you are surely my inspiration. If I am down, and many a day that is the class as I am in constant pain, I know I can always get a good feeling inside when I come over and visit you. You certainly are a wonderful spokeperson for the products you use. I see the wonderment of crafting. I hope your issues come to a settlement soon. I to know how bad you can feel when your body rebels. Please keep up the wonderful work you do. I so enjoy your techniques and videos. I could not pick one favorite, but I really like number 3 and number 6. I also enjoy the different ways you use products, always thinking out side of the box. Such great inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing with us.ReplyCancel

Becca you are just so amazing the way you use your Spellbinders and your stamps and of course not forgetting your bows. I have tried to copy (with what I have) some of your cards.
But I like the elegance and the simplicity of your cards Your punch work is fantastic and no 14 is a prime example of this. but images 12 & 18,are wonderful as are your Christmas 25 & 26.
Thank you so much for all your ideas that I get from just looking at your cards.
Hugs Trish.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca…I love to look at your blog every day. I am not good at always leaving comments but I love your work you have an amazing talent and I am so thankful that you share your talent with all of us. I love how elegant your cards are but yet they have a simplicity about them as well. You totally amaze me with what you can do with Spellbinders and I have purchased many based on your designs. Love my Spellbinders! I love everything that you make and I love your tutorials. Thank you so much!ReplyCancel

I don’t post often either but I LOVE all your work. In fact I recently just went through your entire blog again. Yes I said ENTIRE blog and AGAIN… I’ve never done that with anyone’s blog and the reason I’ve done it here is because everyone of your projects is beautiful/stunning. I often think .. “How on earth does she keep improving and her work keep getting better and better. It just seems impossible. But it’s true. :) From the beginning of your blog to your last entry you can see a progression in your work. It’s all beautiful and inspiring… The colors and papers you choose the layout and thought put into each piece. I’ve been to blog’s where people just slap something together and it shows. One can tell the projects on this blog have time, thought and effort put into them. You can only say stunning so many times before it sounds artificial but in your case each piece truly is. I couldn’t pick just one fav card or style. I love them all as well as the boxes and crafty things such as ornaments etc. I look forward to coming here everyday. I don’t think there’s anything you could change, as one’s work reflects one’s personal style and also speaks about the person them self and I see nothing to change. It’s all beautiful and inspiring. :)ReplyCancel

You ask us to choose which style we like best and the best answer I can give to that is ” Becca Style” . All your cards are in your own unique style and it would be so easy to pick a Becca card from a line-up. All your cards have an elegance which comes from your perfect co-ordination of paper, accessories and sentiment and frequently a vintage feel. If I like one card better than another it is only because I have a preference for a certain colour or accessory that day.
I don’t always post as often as I should , but if you are missing from my inbox for a few days , I worry about you and miss my injection of beauty for that day.
So Happy New Year Becca and just keep on making those beautiful Becca cards.
Love
CynthiaReplyCancel

I have to say also that picking A favorite is impossible! I’m drawn to those with less pink on them but they are all gorgeous! I follow your blog for your creative use of Spellbinders dies, lace and those drop dead bows! Your 3D pieces this year have been flat out amazing! Since I have difficulty holding markers or pencils for coloring my style has evolved to using more die cuts and your blog is a such an inspiration to me! The Lord has blessed you with a great talent and we are so appreciative of your sharing it with us. God bless you in the new year.ReplyCancel

Becca, each time I see one of your new creations I’m in aww. You are asking a tough question to narrow it to one favorite. I just couldn’t make up my mind. You are truly amazing. Thank You for sharing your beautiful work.ReplyCancel

I’d never create cards like you do, but get all kinds of ideas from looking at your masterpieces. Layering is one thing I must try after seeing how you do so many layers for such great effects. The ribbons I admire, but am not into them myself – too fussy. I’m pretty plain Jane, but you inspire me and totally amaze me. Like dreaming up the folding birdcage card. I’d never tackle anything like that, but honor you for working out all the details! Happy creating in 2012~ReplyCancel

Please don’t make me choose. I love it all! I would like to know what your card dimensions generally are. I usually do A2 cards and I cannot get all of the beautiful stuff on mine that you get on yours, so I am assuming your cards are more like 6×6 cards. Please keep doing what you do best and that is crafting from the heart. That will keep you right in the zone! Prayers for you and your family go up everyday.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca
I love all your work, especially when you come up with a new technique and show us how – but my absolute favourites from this selection are numbers 25 (the poinsettia card) and 28
Best wishes for the new yearReplyCancel

Becca, I am most inspired by the creative ways you combine die cuts, colors and other elements – and of course, your bows. I am amazed by your non-card creations too! I don’t leave many comments, but I never miss one of your posts. Awesome work – thank you.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca. I think what I like most about your blog is that you post such a wide range of things, not only cards, but some really nifty projects, and you are always using the latest in designs and supplies. You also do such a great job with your tutorials. One more thing that I like about your blog is that occasionally you include a little personal information about how things are going in your life, which I think your readers are always interested in knowing, because we care about you so much. I hope that some day I can meet you in person.ReplyCancel

Oh Becca, it would be so hard to pick out a favorite as all of your creations are beautiful, who wouldn’t love to receive one in the mail. I tend to like the pink cards as I love the color pink but in this case I love them all. I also love your Becca bits, you are so good at explaining how you do things and I am so thankful that you are willing to share your knowledge with us.ReplyCancel

Amazing Paper Grace is one of my daily stops because I so admire your God given talent and how willing you are to share it with us. I do not have your talent but you inspire me to try so many different things and after visiting with you, it just puts a smile on my face.

I like all your cards, can’t pick a favorite. God bless.ReplyCancel

You speak softly through your creations, Becca. Personally, it does not matter what you post on your blog, your creations are elegant and inspirational and something I always look forward to viewing. Your video tutorials and tips are wonderful for those of us who are visual learners but even your written “Supplies I Used” list is comprehensive. You always seem to know what to use but never go too far with any of it. You keep creating from your heart and we will be there to enjoy the fruits of your labour. (of course, anything PINK is appreciated!)ReplyCancel

Becca, there are so many reasons I stop at your blog with each new entry. I love the way you layer your cards and projects and the creative way you use your dies and punches. We can’t forget those beautiful bows and all the embellishments. But probably the main reason I visit is that I love to hear what you have to say each day. As far as what inspires me, the pop up house card was exceptional. All of your projects inspire me and I miss it if there isn’t a post but anticipate the next one. Thank you for sharing your projects and heart with us. May you have a wonderful 2012.
God bless,
Peggy AllenReplyCancel

Becca, you answered your own question…you mentioned that you make what’s in your heart and it shows!!! That’s what I love about your projects. They are ALWAYS eye candy. I could just sit and stare at them…the colors, layering, softness, unique techniques…..no end to reasons! I guess one of my favorite things to do is live vicariously through you….I neither have the supplies nor the time to create like you do, so I look at yours and dream of what could be……thanks for your inspiration!!ReplyCancel

Becca your work is amazing. When I see what you create a calmness comes over me. It would be an honour to receive any of these cards as THE gift.
I love how you manage to pick just the right colour combinations and the way you layer your cards. Your bows make a real difference as well. So have you figured out that I love all of your work.ReplyCancel

This is so not fair. You expect me to pick a favorite? I could pick each and every one of them. My jaw always hits the floor when you have created something new. Ok, in this exact moment in time, I will say the one with the peach colors and three butterflies that are 3D. Now ask me again in 30 seconds and it will change but I will hit send before that happens :) Hugs to youReplyCancel

Everything you do is beautiful ! I especially like your work with Our Daily Bread Designs stamps and the spellbinders accents, pastel colours are so lovely too,the beautiful papers, everything1ReplyCancel

Becca- All your cards are fabulous! I am especially in awe of all the layers and ivory and pink speaks to me!ReplyCancel

My style is very different from yours and I don’t dain to emulate you, but I love your work. I love to read the words of faith; they are very poignant and often cause me to pause in a busy life. I have purchased some stamps and spellbinders as a result of seeing your use of them. Some of your items are not available in England.

If I have to chose one card: first card on the fourth row.

God Bless You and Yours.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca,
I could never pick one card or style because they are all beautiful and an inspiration to me. Your work is always elegant and I think that is what makes it so special. God bless you…Your crafting friend, Delores in VAReplyCancel

What an incredible opportunity to see everything you did in one place. I’m drawn to everything in black and gold. They’re stunning! When I was a little girl I was very shy and when we did “temper paints” (I didn’t know what they were really called) by the time I got to the paints, the only color left was black. The school counselor thought I was depressed until they figured out I wasn’t inclined to push my way through the group to get the more popular colors, so I’ve been playing with black all my life.

I can’t believe I missed the pop-up card! It is truly amazing! But the one that stuck this year (my cat will still watch the video any time I’ll play it for him) is the pin cushion. I can’t tell you how many pin cushions I made for Christmas presents this year! They were loved by everyone who got one. I donated one to our local craft fair as a door prize and everyone oohed and aahed when they held it up as they drew the number. I thank you for that.

Okay, too much information. But I do love your stuff and appreciate your sharing it with us.ReplyCancel

After looking at each card several times, I have concluded that I cannot even begin to pick a favorite. They are all quite extraordinary and beautiful. Your blog was the first one I ever stumbled upon and I still read it each day. I hope you realize how much you inspire your readers – you truly are a blessing to us. On days when you have not posted a card, my day is not complete. Only a beautiful person can certainly create such special cards. Thanks for all your inspiration.ReplyCancel

So many pretty cards and projects! You know what I find is the common thread among all your work? It’s the beauty, the elegance and love that comes through in each one. They are not just put together, they are created with care and attention to details.
Thank you for sharing and I can’t wait to see what you come up with this year! :)ReplyCancel

I think my favorite is the pop up house, but with the exchange rate, buying Waltzingmouse stamps is hard to justify, and the labor involved in this one is way high on the scale of what I attempt. But I did buy two sets from this company due to your inspiration. I tend toward the simpler ones which use the Spellbinders,and paper that I can kind of duplicate. Every one of your cards thrills me, however.ReplyCancel

There’s a few photos here that I hadn’t seen before – I don’t know how I missed them! I am in awe of your beautiful work, Becca! Thanks for the inspiration you give!ReplyCancel

Your work is always gorgeous and I so get so much inspiration from you but what I love the most about your style is the use of your spellbinders dear. Just amazing !! HugsReplyCancel

You have the most elegant style of any crafter I’ve seen. I thoroughly enjoy seeing what you create each day. May 2012 be a wonderful year for you.ReplyCancel

I love the framed pin cushion. Basically, I love it when you turn $1 finds (or really cheap finds) into something amazing, like the pin cushion…it inspires me totally…

Happy New Year!ReplyCancel

The house that you made is simply,if possible, more than amazing. Would you ever do a tutorial on how you made itReplyCancel

Becca, it would be easier I think to say what didn’t like as much. But then again, even the ones I don’t “like” as much, challenge me to do something different. I love your bows and I love that you shared how to do them and even better, I can actually do them too. Did I mention that I am bow challenged? Thanks again for ALL of your cards.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca ~ this is a tough assignment:). Each of your cards is as stunning as the last one and I’ve been following your blog for a long time, and love it! It’s nearly impossible to pick out even a dozen favorites from your selection since your creativity offers something to every reader. I do love the elegant cards and the use of soft colors. Thank you, thank you for sharing your beautiful art work and brightening up my day. Blessings, Jean.ReplyCancel

All of your cards are my favorites, Becca. I have tried some of the simpler ones and have been pleased with the results. I always look forward to your emails to see what magic you have created. You touch my heart as well as my brain. Thank you.ReplyCancel

Are you kidding me? Chose a style I like from among your cards from last year? Can a mother of 4 pick which child is her favorite? Can’t be done. At least by me. I enjoy absolutely anything you put on this blog. NEVER have I seen a card that didn’t inspire. I do love the way you layer so many things that I would never have even though about using. But it works. And the beautiul bows and bling. Not to mention you always have the perfect sayings to compliment each and every card.ReplyCancel

The Style that is BECCA is what attracts me! All the dies….the lace…the bows & ribbons…the swirls of pearls…..the GORGEOUS papers…And the WONDERFUL way you layer them! I also LOVE how you make things that are DIFFERENT from the ordinary, those pop-up cards are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The 3D items, pin-cushion, bird cage & little house! (I know some of those are pop-up cards, but I consider those 3D gifts too!) And I LOVE your gift combos! Little boxes with matching cards!!!! It’s ALL “Becca!” SIGH! Your blog is STILL THE FIRST I look for each day! :)ReplyCancel

I agree that it is too hard to pick favorites. I find so much inspiration in your creating. I LOVE Spellbinders & look to you for inspiration in using combinations (many I would NEVER think of on my own). We all look for ideas to inspire us to be creative in many ways. I don’t feel that I “copy” but use small parts in ways that are new to me. You help each of us grow in our creativity. Keep up your wonderful cards. Creating is wonderful “therapy for healing”. We hope your 2012 brings you joy & happiness & continued love for what you do. THANK YOU !!
PatReplyCancel

I love the way you use spellbinders die’s. They are my go to tool in my craft room and it is always fun to see how others use them in different ways then I would ever think of . I love stopping in to see what you have for us to see.ReplyCancel

Honestly, I think I like everything you do and knowing that it comes from your heart and what you are experiencing at the time means that much more that you would share it with your viewers and let them into your life.
Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us and looking forward to 2012 with Amazing Paper Grace! God bless, RoseReplyCancel

Querida Becca todas tus tarjetas son bellas y es difícil escoger cuál me gusta más, sin embargo la pop up, es increíble, gracias por enseñarnos y compartirlas.
Muchas felicidades para este próximo año, que Dios bendiga tu camino y el de tus seres queridosReplyCancel

15, 17, 28 and 30 of 31. Those are my favorite of the above. Don’t know if that helps you at all. I do know I prefer not as much pink, but because it is your favorite color and I love what you do I don’t mind and I can always change the color scheme of your card if I try to case it. I also know I ALWAYS am wowed by your cards or whatever you do, get inspiration by your work and love your personality. That is what is important to me – that is what is the common thread. Blessings Becca.ReplyCancel

I love when you do paper crafting. I love making little things to put candies, little gifts into. But, I also love how you have the uncanny ability to put together amazing cards with so many layers of Spellbinders. I have lots of Spellbinders myself, but can never see the different templates together as a beautiful set like you can. You always inspire me to be more creative. Thanks!ReplyCancel

Becca, I dfon’t even know how to explaine what I feel when I see your work. We are all given jobs to do by God on earth that lift others up and inspre them to be better and take that leap of faith and go foward! In the world of crafting YOU do this. I belive that one of your great purpose is doing what you love and sharing it with others. When somthing is really wonderful so wonderful that it makes you feel somthing in your mind and heart that words cannot exprss and sometimes you cry tears of JOY that is a GOD thing! Thast how I feel with your work! You have blessed my life just that way. I say Thanks You for your insperation.
As far as what card inspired me well all of them in there own way. So keep up the talen that the Lord has blessed you with and I love how you acknowldge this in your work. soooo arry on and I look foward to seeing more. designsbywendysueReplyCancel

I love everything you do! Ribbon, die cuts, and pearls… I had my dh build me a bow maker (4) for Christmas and for a couple of friends.. lol. But please don’t start something like that again with … please don’t drag you dh into doing this for you… he had to point that line out to me! lol

Have a blessed New Year!

ClarindaReplyCancel

Becca:
I really don’t have a single favorite. I love everything that you do. It’s always fresh and inspiring some are even breathtaking. Have you ever considered having online classes – video. I know you have a few tutorials, but I would like more. I’m a visual person. I’m still a novice – tring to reach perfection like in your cards. I have just started using spellbinder dies and not really sure how to make them work to get the effedts that you have on your cards. I’ll keep watching and trying. Thanks for all you do to keep us inspired.ReplyCancel

Becca: your work is so elegant and I look forward to your blog every day.
I love looking at your 3D work and popups but not something I have conquered. I take a little from every card you do to learn from. I love Spellbinders and use them on nearly every card I make. If I have to choose, I could only narrow it down to 3…..9, 15, 21. Is there something about the cards on the right side! Happy New Year.ReplyCancel

Becca you are asking the IMPOSSIBLE! Pick one style? Never. I love them all but admit an affinity for the card with the vellum scalloped layer and lace below it but I also love your three dimensional projects and ones using Spellbinders. Your work is impeccable and anything you do delights me.

MaryReplyCancel

They are all gorgeous. I am drawn to the bottom left one – very classy and elegant :)ReplyCancel

Happy New Year Becca

Becca, I visit your site almost daily. I am always encouraged and uplifted in seeing your beautiful creations. You sharing your gift have been uplifting to me.
Your cards and other projects just keeps me in WOW. I have visited your site when my spirits were low and I tell you after visting with Becca I feel so much better. Keep doing what you do… Just do you
Be blessed and encouraged in 2012. My new saying for myself this year is “I’m EXPECTING a MIRACLE” . Thanks Becca for all you give, you are loved and appreciated.ReplyCancel

I adore every card you’ve ever made. It is impossible to choose one style as a favourite. That’s the beauty of your work. Your approach to card creation is unique and different from everyone else. Each one elicits a ‘wow, is that ever cool and why can’t I think of such things’. I would be sad to see you limit yourself to our preferences. One of your major strengths is in your innovation.ReplyCancel

Becca, I love all your cards. I love your soft feminine colors, elegance and wonderful embellishments. I always look forward to checking out your creations and I am always amazed at the different ways you use the Spellbinder dies and other punches. You are always an inspiration and look forward to seeing what yo create this next year.
Wishing you a happy, healthy new year.ReplyCancel

I find all of your cards amazing. I love the way you use the Spellbinders and other shapes in new and interesting ways. It helps me to stretch my craft budget when I see you have combined items in ways I would not have thought possible. I am in awe of your ribbons, bows and other embellishments. I tend to be more focused on stamping, less on the embellishments. You inspire me to add some fancies to my cards, and it really livens them up.

Thanks for all your sharing!ReplyCancel

Yousr cards just over whelm me. Such beauty.ReplyCancel

I really enjoy your cards. Thank you for giving us a year in review. Where to you buy your gorgeous lace? I would love to be able to add some of this beautiful lace to my cards. Thank you in advance for your answer. Keep them coming!ReplyCancel

You are my all-time-favorite designer … I have tons of your cards in My Favorites on SCS and I subscribe to your blog. I love everything you do. Even though I’m not a “pink person” like your friend, I can visualize your pink cards in other color combinations. I like your cards because they are generally not “cutesy”. I like a card that is a little more “adult” and formal and your designs fit the ticket for me. Of the list you published, here are my favorites:
1 of 42 – Pop-up Card Collage
3 of 42 – WRBF-2257-2011 (Heart to Heart)
12 of 42 – WRBF-2593-2011 (With Gratitude)
13 of 42 – WRBF-2604-2011 (My Father the One …)
25 of 42 – WRBF-2873-2011 ((Christmas Blessings)
26 of 42 – WRBF-2910-2011 (Santa Claus is Coming …)
28 of 42 – WRBF-2929-2011 (Thank You)
29 of 42 – WRBF-2937-2011 (Santa Claus is Coming …)
Looking forward to your wonderful work in 2012! Thank you for sharing your talents with us.ReplyCancel

oh my gosh, what DOESN’T inspire me with your work???? Ok ok, you want a real answer LOL,,,they are all inspiring, of course, but the ones I love the MOST are the ones with layers and layers of spellbinders and edgeabilities, etc,,,,,,,,,,I love when the layers start to blend and you can’t hardly tell which diecut is which,,which punch you used, or is that a piece of lace or a doily????,,,it just becomes one big lacy diecut,,,and you have inspiring talent as to which goes well with which,,,,,,,,well, I love that when I manage to create it i n my own work, and yours is extremely inspiring to me! Thank you for that!ReplyCancel

Becca, thanks for sharing again your unique creations from 2011. As I reviewed them I once again felt the same awe and inspiration I did with my initial viewing. How you manage to put pieces together with “just the right touch” continues to amaze me! My favorite is the birdcage – it is so precious! Thank you for the chance to reminisce and once again be motivated to achieve a higher artistic level.ReplyCancel

More than just your cards, which are beautiful, I like your tutorials and Becca Bits. They inspire me to try something different. I have especially enjoyed all the different ways you have shown us to make bows. Keep me inspired.ReplyCancel

For me it’s like a kid in a candy store Who’s parents never let them eat candy then one day they let me loose in the store I just look at enerything in amazement at at all the pretty things and wonderful colors, pretty ribbons and just everthing you come up with is Amazing there are no word to explain how beautiful everthing is put together. thanks for letting this kid loose in your beautiful shop of wonderful things.ReplyCancel

Becca,
The elegance and diversity of your cards is what brings me here everyday. Of course we are all going to have our favorite colors and shapes but I think it is the diversity that is the most important.
Hope that helps.

Beth PReplyCancel

Wow! What a beautiful collection of projects!!! I just love your ribbon and bows and the way you create these beautiful layered creations!

Hugs,
Antonella :-)ReplyCancel

You are an artist- that is all I can say. I love all your work. I love your little house and bird house but I know I wouldn’t make those but your cards are out of this world. I too like pink as well as green and I don’t know if it is my age or not but purple is catching my eye. Keep up your beautiful work.ReplyCancel

Becca, your projects are pure eye candy! I especially love the innovative ways you layer the dies. God bless and have a wonderful New Year! Hugs, SarahReplyCancel

I love black & white, so I tend to choose those, but I think each of your cards is a work of art. I don’t know how you can part with them.ReplyCancel

Thank you, Becca for all the lovely inspiration! I’m glad I found you and your blog. I’m most encouraged by your faith and feel immediately connected as believers. Then I’m in total admiration of your beautiful work. I’m especially in awe of how you take a flat design and create a 3-D piece by multiplying it. So impressive and inspirational! Everything you make is done with elegance, unique and fresh ideas and ways to use craft products.

Thanks again for always giving and sharing the wonderful talents that God gave you! You are a blessing to us all!

Hugs, LauraReplyCancel

I enjoy seeing home decor projects.ReplyCancel

I love to view each card that you create. You are so talented and I really appreciate that your feelings come through in your work. You are and encouragement in what you do even when you probably need encouragement from others. I like the elegance with simplicity that is in many of your cards. Please continue to teach us. Thanks for your inspiration.ReplyCancel

Becca, your cards are beautiful. I like the colors of cardstock, the ribbons, the lattrice-like dies, the sentiment, and how you have it arranged on the base card. Continue to use your wonderful God given talent to inspire others in 2012.ReplyCancel

Thanx for putting up all this past year’s cards on your post. I think I have printed all of them as they came to be during the year. I use them for inspiration when I am blocked, and take parts of this one , and parts of that one, and come up with my own version of something very similar to yours. I follow a few blogs, but I have to put yours as my favorite. Your talent for design, color, execution, etc is remarkable. Please keep the cards coming.ReplyCancel

Becca, there is no way to pick a favorite they are all lovely,and you have a style like no one else.When I love all the samples you have here I can feel the love that goes into everything you make.It is so wonderful that you share the talent that God has given you.As we know a talent grows as we share it with others.My love and prayers go to you as you create.
I can’t wait to look at your blog when I get an email update.

Becka,
I just love the way you combine die cuts and ribbon! It is so girly!ReplyCancel

you are without the BEST card maker EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hugs Sarah xReplyCancel

all your cards are so gorgeous and elegant!!! I love the way you layer all the spellbinders and I don’t know why I never think to do that, lol Anyhow, keep up the excellent work and may you have a wonderful new year!!!ReplyCancel

Ok, I looked and went thru a second time. Each card is it’s own beautiful creation. I love the pinks- soft and shabby; blacks and gold- regal and elegant, blues- soft and soothing, reds- clean and bold. Each one inspires me and your tutorials are a huge help, since I learn visually. You have inspired me to create more cards for the ladies in my bible study. Each one looks forward to their own personal card I make for them. So you have inspired me to combine my talent and love for the Lord and give to others. So, my favorite is ……. the one that inspires me daily. Thanks for your gift.

Oh Becca, That was so fun going down memory lane. I just can’t pick one, I love each and every one of your cards! God has blessed you with an amazing talent to pick colors and themes that really speak to your faithful fans. Every morning I am so excited to open up my email and see what you have created. Thanks for sharing your life with us! Wishing you a wonderful 2012! Hugs to you! TeresaReplyCancel

What are ya crazy? Pick a fave? No way, all your cards are my faves!!! Hugs!ReplyCancel

I just love seeing what you create. My wish list is a mile long but………….the pocket is short! Each and everyone of your cards is a delight to the eye. Oh to have the “sight” that you have for putting these works of art together!
I love to visit just to see your work and to DREAM!ReplyCancel

Becca, that is so like you to want to include our wants in your designs. But, I can’t pick any one; all I can say is to just keep doing what you’re doing and create what you like to create, because that’s all I want. I’m often amazed at the seemingly overflowing fountain of ideas you have. You’re truly blessed with a creative gene. What I admire most about your designs is the use of Spellbinders and use of colours. So just keep making what you want, and I’ll bask in the enjoyment of your talent. I’m just so happy that you can share it with so many with blogging. Thank you. :)ReplyCancel

Hi Becca, I can’t pick any one of your cards, you have a style all of your own which shines through everything you make. You never fail to inspire or surprise me with everything you do. I look forward to seeing whats coming up next. I followed every step of your blog I’ve laughed and cried with you. I came upon your blog looking for inspiration for my cards but I found so much more I know everything you make comes from your heart and all I can say is God Bless You Becca for being there and thank you for letting me in to share it.

As a number of folks have already posted, the word “elegance” always comes to mind and I’m always inspired by how you use different elements together. I always learn something each day that I check your blog. Thank you for all your inspiration and information.ReplyCancel

Dear Becca, you’re asking the impossible. Your cards are such fantastic works of art how could we possibly choose. It never ceases to amaze me how you come up with such wonderful ideas. You have inspired me on too many occasions and as a result I am the proud owner of many Spellbinder dies. Thank you for sharing everything with us. Bless you. xReplyCancel

Hi Becca
I just find your cards so awsome and inspiring, that anything you do
encourages me to try my hand at crafting. They are truly a work of art
and for me just looking at the beauty that you create lightens my day.

The Lord has certainly blessed you.

with love and hugs
Chrissy xxReplyCancel

Oh, my. Do I really have to choose? Impossible!! There are so many fantastic and beautiful things that you have made. It seems that you can take something absolutely plain and turn it into something amazingly beautiful. I enjoy seeing pretty much anything you choose to make. I know that doesn’t make it easy. Michaels now carries Nestabilities so I guess I love seeing what you do with those.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca,
Oohh.. this has been so hard. I only found your wonderful blog last year, but have been slowly catching up with all the archive posts (still looking even now). But to ask me to chose favourites from those you have posted today was so hard I changed my mind a few times. Anyway, I will try to show the ones that win even if only by a hair compared to any of the others.
Row 5 Cards 1&3
Row 6 N0.2
Row 8 Cards 2&3
Row 9 No.1
Row 10 Card 1
Thats the smallest I could make it sorry and that took me half a day! lol..!
Your cards are so lovely. Best wishes Linda (S.Wales, UK)ReplyCancel

Hello Becca I could not choose. Your work is always so inspiring and though my cards are not as layered, elegant etc etc you have certainly influenced my style. I cannot remember now who directed me to your blog but thank goodness they did. Thankyou. May you have a Happy and Healthy 2012. Anne xReplyCancel

Becca,
What a fan I am of your work! The fact that you do it to glorify the Lord has inspired me to use my own talents in the same way. Honestly, I have a hard time reading other card making blogs just because you knock it out of the park – every time.
My favorite cards are the ones with the following features:
a) Symmetrical design
b) Two or three colors max – e.g. gold and white, black and beige, beige and white, pink and white etc…
c) The ones with use of ribbons, few pearls and a sentiment – this is your trademark :)

I like it simple as I think more is less. So my favorites are as folllows (from top row going down, and left to right):
Row 1: card no 2
Row 2: card no. 1
Row 5: card 1 and 2
Row 6: card 1 and 2
Row 10: cards 1 and 3

My all time favorites are a) the one you made for your husband’s anniversary/memorial (blue with wings, not shown above), and the crochet background card that you made for ODBD shown on your card.

God bless!ReplyCancel

What a difficult job you gave us I couldn’t make up my mind which card I I preferred and for one reason or another they all appealed.
The details in your cards just blow me away.
Thank you for all the inspiration you give me JackieReplyCancel

I could never chose a favorite as each card has many things about it that I like. I enjoy anything 3D, cards with ribbons, flowers, layers of diecuts…the list just goes on and on! Your creativity just amazes me and I really appreciate you sharing it with all of us. Another one of my crafting goals this year is to learn to work with Copic markers.ReplyCancel

Don’t know how anyone could possibly choose a favourite as all your cards are so beautiful that I really am spoilt for choice.ReplyCancel

Becca – As I look through your lovely creations I am in awe of how beautiful they all are. But, what keeps me coming back to your blog over and over is YOU!! Your attitude about life breathes a fresh air of sweetness into all of your project. Thank you for sharing your talents and also YOURSELF!!!ReplyCancel

They’re all lovely, Becca. I love your style, from elegant to vintage, to lacy. Please don’t change your style. Thanks for sharing.ReplyCancel

I stop by your blog daily just to see how you create and use spellbinders in such a totally unique way that I’ve not seen on any other blog. I think it would be great if you wrote a book of your tutorials on how you come up with such creative layering of these dies showing various combinations of layering and uses for them. I would buy it in a heartbeat!ReplyCancel

Your cards and other projects (boxes, ornaments, birdhouse, and house
just to name a few) are elegant! I too, as many of your followers, love
the way you use the Spellbinder dies in such unique ways. I also
enjoy whenever you do a tutorial for us, as I am a visual learner also.
As far as what interests me to stop by your blog daily, is to hear how you are doing, and see what you have created!! Thanks so much for your
time and talent that you share with us.ReplyCancel

My favorite projects are the pop-up cards and boxes. I love the challenge of trying something more complicated, especially when you have such detailed instructions to follow! Thanks for sharing with all of us, you are so inspiring!ReplyCancel

I’m always enthralled by the way you build up layers of diecuts. I’ve yet to try this but appreciate how well it works for you….someday, I tell myself. : ) And your innovations with punches creating different frames, edges, etc. takes vision and your talents for that are much admired…and CASEd. I also love your loving spirit that comes through in what you say, do, and are. I also so enjoy reading your mail – responses on your blog – and understand why you have so many loyal followers and admirers since I am one of them.ReplyCancel

Becca,
I just wanted to say that I love looking at everything you do. I often can tell when I see one of your designs somewhere that it is a “Becca” or “Amazing Paper Grace” creation. You have your own signature style and I enjoy all of its different manifestations! Thanks for all you do! I look forward to another wonderful year of your blog creations!
God Bless,
Jill Norwood / Seattle WaReplyCancel

I LOVE LOVE LOVE all your creations. I’m especially drawn to the cards, since that’s what I mostly do. Your cards are so elegant and creative. LOVE your tutorials. Formost though is the love of God that you share and display. Thanks for taking us “blogfriends” along on your ride.ReplyCancel

Dear Becca,
Your website is the first one I go to every day! I love your cards and the main reason is that you are the best at using Spellbinder’s die, and I am addicted to Spellbinders dies! I live in Phoenix, the home of Spellbinders, and I have 242 Spellbinders die sets. Have a great time at CHA, I wish I could go, but I am only a cardmaker and scrapbooker addict, not a vendor.
You are the best!!!!!!
Sincerely,
Susan GarvinReplyCancel

Hi Becca,
I loves all your cards. You inspired me everytime you posted your card here. I’ve to subscribed you because I don’t want to miss a single thing (*_*) this website. I read your post from day 1 until now.
Thank you for sharing Becca Bow, now, my bow look better than before. I learns so many things from you.

Difficult to me to choose but I pick 3 top card to me.
No.1 : Popup card collage. (truly amazing card)
No.2 : WRBF-2917-2011 (loves the flowers & beads)
No.3 : WRBF-2951-2011 (U make something simple to an amazing look)

Execellent job Becca!ReplyCancel

Hi Becca – for me one of the reasons I come to your blog is I always find beauty here. If I’m having a bad day, or it’s raining and I want a little sunshine your designs provide that. Even on those days when you’re blogging and not feeling 100% the fact that you took the time to say hello to those of us out here in cyber space is encouraging.

For my own crafting, you inspire me to try new things – to not be afraid to put a square in the middle of a circle, to not be afraid to put a bow on something for a man, or to make a flower out of some kind of paper that doesn’t exist in nature.

Overall, this is just one of my most favorite crafting stops – if not my most favorite!ReplyCancel

My 2011 favorite is the pop-up birdcage card inside the coordinated box. The complexity, challenge, and engineering is over the top! God has blessed you with the artistry, vision, and the mastery to engineer the unbelievable! I praise God for His amazing works through your creations!

TammieReplyCancel

It was really hard to pick just one, but the black and cream combination (third from the end) was probably my favorite. I used the layout in a 50th anniversary card I had to make. Thanks always for sharing your talent with us. I look forward to your blog posts every day. My 87 year old Mother is even hooked!!ReplyCancel

Well after I got over my card envy and learned to use your cards as teaching tools . I found out that I love layering on cards and all your cards have beautiful layering. So I can’t chose just one like so many of your followers.ReplyCancel

Becca… Every card or project you make is inspiring in one way or another! I check each day just to be amazed. I am partial to 3-D projects… things with gems and baubles more so than flowers… but your creations are so fabulous I overlook the flowers! So I am choosing the wonderful, creatively different bird cage… and I am partial to the boxes in image 25 and 30. Another feature i LOVE are the fabulous lace trims you use… oh how i would love to get my hands on those!!! Also love the layering .. especially with the fleur de lis spellbinders…images 3, 16 and 17. You have inspired me to acquire some that I didn’t think i would have used! Thanks for all the fabulous inspiration…keep up the great work!ReplyCancel

I adore all your work! I love the feminine cards you create. all the bows are just devine. I check in daily to see if you’ve added anymore wonderful creations to inspire us all. And I adore the use of God’s precious word on most of your creations. aren’t we blessed to have such a loving and gracious father! Thank-you for sharing your gift with us.ReplyCancel

I love your vintage cards most of all. They are so beautiful in all their delicate details!ReplyCancel

Your cards always look so elegant!
It looks like you’ve spent hours on one card!
I need to add more layers, and your ribbons & bows are always so perfect!ReplyCancel

Mission Impossible to select my favorite card. Becca each and everyone of these are an inspiration in terms of bows, paper colors, embellishments, etc. Keep up the great work as you are a treasure.ReplyCancel

LOVE your work and have been an admirer for quite some time now. My favorite thing that ALWAYS draws me to your work is a couple of things:
1) the clean, sleekness of your designs
2) the way you put such beautiful colors together and it flows
3) the thing that drew me from the beginning, and continues to do so, is the lacy things you create out of mere paper.
Thanks so much for always inspiring and always giving me a treat for my eyes!!!
Looking forward to more………ReplyCancel

I could not pick just one! Your style is very recognizable whenever I see it, I always know that you created it! Your work is just simple amazing and beautiful. How you layer different dies, your ribbons and bows and your end results are just absolutely gorgeous. Keep up the beautiful work. I always enjoying your blog and your creations!ReplyCancel

Its not so much a style of card as it is YOUR style–elegant, classic, romantic, very professional looking. I think its your attention to detail that always catches my eye–whatever card style you choose (square, oblong, tall, short, etc).

I prefer traditional shaped cards, I suppose, I think just because thats all
I’ve really ever seen. Although, I have to say your square cards and tall cards are lovely.ReplyCancel

I have been following your blog almost since Day 1 and I can truly say that all your cards have been inspirational. I love what you do with Spellbinders, your mix of color, layering of papers and embellishments, use of sentiments, and the list goes on. Rarely do I make a card that you have not inspired in some way. I love receiving your e-mails and look forward to them. I also very much enjoy your tutorial and videos. You are so precise and calm your instructions are always clear. Thank you Becca for a year of great inspiration.ReplyCancel

PS – The Becca Bits are brilliant! Love them!! I’ve learned soooo much. Thank you for taking the time to make them, and thank you for sharing your ideas and techniques so freely.ReplyCancel

Your creativity, is amazing…God Given!!!! Thank you for being a
tremendous Mentor to us all. My Choices for the year 2011: HEART TO
HEART, the Card iwht John 12:26, LIVE EVERYDAY TO THE FULLEST,
Any card done with Black/God, Black/Cream, and As many Fleur de Lis
as POSSIBLE as in the THANK YOU card…takes my breath away.
How I long to soon take my time and endeavor making similar or close
to your designs as Possible.
May God Continue to Richly Bless you ….as you do to others.ReplyCancel

I could never pick out a favourite from a selection of your cards I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE then ALL………..
If I am ever looking for inspiration for a card I just click on and there it is, a fantastic selection of everything anyoneone could ask for.
Your tutorials are so good and easy to follow, Becca!! you are just the greatest, you are so talanted.
Thank you for all you share with us.

God Bless,
PatriciaReplyCancel

couldn’t possibly pick one. however, I was unable to enlarge. didn’t know if anyone else had the same problem. thanks for sharing your amazing talent with us.ReplyCancel

Becca, you are amazing. Every card you make is just beautiful. You have a beautiful talent. Beside that, you are a beautiful person. Hugs to you.ReplyCancel

I like several of your images, numbers 13, 14, 16, 20 and 26. I made some of the pin cushions from image 20 and they turned out great. Most of all I love your bows and tutorials on making bows. Keep up all the good work you do to inspire us.ReplyCancel

Becca, I just found your blog last week and have gone thru most of your posts. I appreciate your dedication to God and your love of discovering the creative nature God gifted you with. I love soooo many of your cards, but I love your bows and how you embellish them.ReplyCancel

I love the way you layer your cards with the different dies. You have inspired me to give it a try and I surprised myself with the results. I was in such a rut and after following your blog I was able to challenge myself to try something new. I also like the way you use the beautiful laces (is that plural in itself — like sheep?). I have some very old lace that I have been saving and now I am using it. No one is enjoying it when it is in a drawer so I am now using it. You are an inspiration to me!!!ReplyCancel

Oh Becca, I can’t get enough of your cards. Sooooo beautiful and so full of warmth and meaning. May you be blessed to have many more creative years and making other people happy.ReplyCancel

Becca, its hard for me to just pick one card…….I loved and still love them all. Keep sharing your God giving talent with us…..we love your work!!!!ReplyCancel

I love looking at all your cards as it inspires me. My favorites are ones that I can imagine making myself. So, please keep giving us the “recipes.”
P.S. I also love pink! and purple! and turquoise! lolReplyCancel

It is very difficult to pick out my favorite projects. I am fascinated by the 3-D projects, boxes, bows etc. I appreciate the “recipes” that you give also. Your cards are so unique that I am inspired by all of them!ReplyCancel

Becca – you had me as a devoted fan two years ago – goodness!! I’ve loved how you add dies on top of dies and how you use color to enhance the stamp messaage. I can usually pick your cards from pictures of many, just because your style is just YOU….Others may try to ‘case’ your cards, however, your style does deeper than that – and we are all so grateful that you share with us.

Don’t change or offer less than what you want to give.

hugsReplyCancel

Now for what I really meant to share. How cruel of you to ask me to choose my favorite card. For two days now I keep looking the past year of Becca creations over and over and I am starting to go goo goo gah gah and twirl my hair and my eyes are bulging and I am drueling. Please, please, don’t make me choose. I want one of every one, I can’t stand it any more, I want to be Becca crafty person just for one hour and be ableto create something so inspirational. Just once, could you give me some of that. LOLReplyCancel

I think my favorite style (although I love looking at all of them) is what I would describe as classy shabby chic. Much as I enjoy looking at all of your cards, I especially enjoy when you design and then do tutorials on how to make ornaments, boxes, etc. Thanks so much for sharing all of your talents with us. Yours is the only blog that I make sure I never miss a post.ReplyCancel

Your pieces are very rich with elegance, feminine, and very professional. I love how you layer and use bows and bling. All these things keep peeking back to see what you’ve come up with. Please don’t stop.ReplyCancel

I just recently found your blog. I always wanted to create elegant cards, but could never get it to work right. Now I know how because of your creations. You inspire me in so many ways (creativity, faith, etc). I love all of your creations and really can’t pick one as I love them all. My dream is to one day get to go to CHA as well as a few other things.ReplyCancel

Oh Becca! There’s no way to possibly choose 1 card as a favorite! At least not for me. Each beautiful card is a masterpiece all on its own, created with love by the artist. I adore looking at your designs. They totally inspire me to create cards along the same lines, though not near to the level you are at.

Thank you so much for sharing your creations. I look forward to your new designs of any type this year. I know they will be fabulous!ReplyCancel

I just love looking at your beautiful cards! They are inspiring and so elegant. Does it take a long time to create these masterpieces? Do you actually send them to people? (I’m just wondering who would be the truly lucky person to receive one!)ReplyCancel

Becca, I love all your cards. Your creativity is awesome and I look forward to opening the emails annoucing your new creations in card making. Your layering, out of the box use of dies/templates/punches keeps me coming back. Please don’t stop. Your emotions and joy in creating shine through with each of your designs. You are and always will be one of my favority go to designers!ReplyCancel
