I could not wait, I could not wait, I could not wait to get my hands on this set of dies. Can I say that this is one of my fav’s and I think it will be one of yours too!! Sigh . . . it just oozes with elegance and oh, the possibilities. I knew my first stab would be something vintage looking and something to do with a flower. What I’ve done here essentially is created a flower cup to seat a bloom in using Spellbinders S5-059 Ironworks Motifs. This template works just as well on cards as on gift items (I’m working on my post for tomorrow which, if my crafty luck holds out, will be an ensemble using this template again).
I’m following the sketch from Mojo Monday (Mojo 199) except rotated the sketch clockwise 90 degrees. In following the sketch I put a border on the left hand side of the card using elements from Spellbinders S5-059 Ironwork Motifs, then created that neat swag using the new Edgeabilities – E8-001 (Classic Scallop) and E8-003 (Triple Scallop). Who knew? I didn’t it I sat down this morning and started playing around – there are so many different combinations – I love this one. My medallion was created using the largest element of the Motif set – I curled the edges on the first one and on the second one I interlocked the curlicues to maintain the structure of the cup. They were then stacked together with foam tape. I used the foam tape to add dimension and offset the layers. I double stacked my foam tape in the cup before I nestled in that sweet flower. What a joy to sit down and create this morning!!! I have things waiting off in the wings to show, but since I was doing the sketch challenge I hadn’t given any forethought to what to create because you really can’t, right?!? Pure serendipity :-)

Becca I just love all your work – thank you so much for sharing it.
WOW!!! I mean WOW!!!! What a F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C card! How can you ever top this one?!?
As usual Becca, you have found a way to make a beauty out of paper! Wow! Like the way you sort of curled the Ironworks Motif…very nicely done. You’ll never run out of ideas…that’s really, really great, Becca! You know, your cleverness helps others to expand these ideas onward and upward…thank you, thank you! Have a great day!
very pretty
Becca,
This card is so beautiful. I love the layout. Thanks for sharing.
Oh Becca after just seeing your exquisite card I soooooooo need these new dies. Oh you are just one heck of a tallented lady and as I ‘ve said before I thank you so very much for giving us such wonderful inspiration with your stunning creations.
God bless.
Love Sheila xx
Love this Becca and I’m with you, this is such a great die set. I love how it is so versatile. Lacey and soft (as shown on your card today), or rugged wrought iron used on an altered project. It is definitely on my must have list and that list just keeps getting longer. Really great sets in this new release. Will be fun to work with them. I recognize the paper !!!! hee hee.
Don’t you just love that CD.
Marcie
just gorgeous Becca
hugs sarah x
LOVE IT!!!! : ) Gorgeous card Becca!!!
IF (and that’s a big IF!) anyone could have resisted any one of these new Spellbinders’ dies, they’d never be able to after just a few days of viewing your postings using them — seriously, Becca!!! You are such a fabulous enabler, my dear Lady!!! ;-) See that CD is going to get a real workout too — LOVE your BG paper!!!
Fantastic, love your creation, such pretty layering for the flower!
Oh Becca, this is just beautiful! The flower is just wonderful! It is totally “girly” and so pretty in pink! This is just a wonderful creation.

Thank you for sharing all your beautiful creations with us.
Oh my gosh I am going to have to get another job to pay for all these new goodies that are coming our way again. I see what you mean by loving this die. I have added it to my “got to get list” but then I have added all the others that you have been show casing to that list as well..
I have already ordered the CD and cannot wait to play with that.
May I ask what weight of paper you are using to copy to?
thanks for all the beautiful creations.
Amazing new dies, cant wait to get them.
Could you just tell me what machine you cut them on as the very intricate patterns on some of the newer designs give me a few problems.
Any tips would be superb xx
Becca,
You just keeping amazing me with your beautiful cards. Thank you!

Once again a beautiful card. I just love checking in everyday to see what you’ve created for us – your faithful readers!!!! Hugs Becca, you’re the best.
Just beautiful Becca. I love how you cupped the ironworks motif to make a bed for the flower very creative. I can hear the excitement in your voice. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D

Hi Becka
I just purchased over $100 of Spellbinders dies based on the incredibly gorgeous cards I saw on your website, That’s a lot of $$ for a retired gal like me. Now there are all new ones! What’s a gal to do???????????
Thanks for all of your inspiring cards and messages. I guess I’ll just have to be a “little behind” for now.

Becca, every time I see one of your new creations it is greater than the one before. You blow my mind with your creativity and talent. I adore all of your work. I am just at a loss for words to properly describe how I feel about your cards. Those dies are fabulous too.
Beautiful, again. Spellbinders just keeps getting better and better!
Love the “curl” of the cup – beautiful card.
Amazing Becca. I agree, I think this will be a fav of mine as well. Spellbinders is truly a genius in creating new dies.
Thanks for the information on when the new dies will be available. Gorgeous stuff.
My heavens…. this card is absolutely STUNNING!
This is georgeous–I discovered your blog last week and everything I see is amazing. Thanks for sharing and inspiring. Just went out and bought all the supplies to do your ribbon storage idea.
OMGoodness!!! This is just such a beautiful card. I love the nest you made for the flower and I love that digital paper. Can’t wait for my CD to arrive. AND I love the ironworks dies. Aren’t Spellbinder dies just the greatest?
Dear me- this is just wonderful! WOW!
How beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing.
I think that this is my favorite of the dies so far…but then I think that each day when they reveal a new one! But I’m really liking the Ironworks dies…this is gorgeous! You never disappoint, Becca! I’d love to be a fly perched in a corner of your studio to watch you create!

A very beautiful card, I really love this one! So pretty. These new dies allow you to create wonderful die cut borders – how much fun!
Hi, Becca. You are not only an awesome designer, but awesome inspiration to us all. This project is stunning! I love papercrafting and playing. Needless to say, Spellbinders is my absolute favourite brand of dies! My son is getting married in August and I am using all my papercrafting skills and tools to come up with favours, decorations and embellishments for all the parties and wedding. i have all my young helpers hooked and in awe of a world they never even knew existed. I cannot wait to get these dies and make some other projects for maybe their first anniversary party. Spellbinders makes you want to celebrate every moment in life!!!!
This is gorgeous Becca! I love Spellbinder’s and these dies prove why! You are a perfect advertiser for them because your work is gorgeous!
Hi again,
Another feminine and lovely card, Becca! I love how you curled the edges of the Medallion…so, so pretty! Thanks so much for your inspiration!!!
Have a wonderful day,
Barb G.
Wonderful idea! And I can’t get over those beautiful dies… I’m sure glad you got your hands on them early to start experimenting and showing us the gorgeous results.
Perhaps in the future a little Becca Bit video might show us how you shaped and interlocked the pieces to form the cup? Please and thank you for considering the possibility! :-)
Absolutely gorgeous! So elegant! You are so talented and I appreciate you so much!!
