Good weekend morning!! I got to play a little bit last night, weaving this frame has been in my head since I saw Spellbinders Lacey Circles. This was driving me crazy and even at the dinner I went to the other night I was going though it all in my mind – over under or is it better under over — loop around — thread through. My hubby could see me counting it off in my mind – whew – glad it’s done – moving on to obsess about something else I haven’t finished, lol! By the way this gorgeous sentiment is from Quietfire Design and is called Each of Us Has a Song. (Ha..ha.. my hubby saw the stamp and said too bad some of us sing off tune.)
After cutting two sizes of Lacey Circles I cut/embossed each with Standard Circles Large so that my circles were hollowed out enough that I’d be able to see the pattern once I started looping. I taped one edge of each circle down to my work surface so that both would be stable. Once I got around to the tape I switched it to the opposite side and continued looping until I finished all eighteen loops. It honestly doesn’t take long – unless you’re watching a sad movie like I was ;-). I centered the pair of woven hoops over a circle that I cut in the card with Spellbinders Circles Large. I stamped on my lower layer and then framed everything up. I also ran a border of Spellbinders Big Scalloped Petites across the card and embellished with little sage pearls. The small ribbon wasn’t wide enough for a bow like I like, so I simply paired the 1/4" ribbon up with 1/2" sheer and tied them together.

By the way, our Double Play winner claimed her prize but didn’t have all ten words for the Bonus which means it is up for grabs still!! After another go at Random.org it pulled the number 752 which corresponds with Bonnie Rabon. Bonnie if you can email me the double play words within 48 hours, I’ll get them in the mail to you next week!

Love how you threaded the ribbon through the nestie!! Gorgeous effect and a lovely card. I’m with your hubby re: some of us can’t sing on tune LOL!
That’s so pretty Becca, how did you manage to keep the ribboned circles so evenly spaced? You are such a clever lady, with tonnes of patience and talent to come up with, and master these intricate ideas.

Becca – I bet Spellbinders had no idea all the ways the Lacey Circles dies (or other dies) could be used by you! I love the idea of the weaving of the ribbon – and, of course, the big fluffy bow, too!
Thanks for sharing this with us.
shoot…the order went through, catalog was free, but NOT the shipping, and I am upset, cause there is no way to stop the order now.
:(

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, I looooooooooooooove it! Please please do a Becca Bit on this one… I need to see it “in action”! Thanks so much.
That’s beautiful! Again, so creative! I love the way you say, “I simply. . .!” Maybe simple for you! LOL!
This is the prettiest card I’ve ever seen!
I have to shout it from the rooftop: this is the most beautiful card you have EVER made!!!!!
(and, yes, a Becca Bit would be appreciated)
Thank you!
Oh my, Becca, I am totally speechless of this BEAUTY!!!! I am totally blown away about all of these fabulous ways you use the Spellbinders dies……no one, not one, comes up with this much outside the box creativity but YOU!! WOW!!! Absolutly GORGEOUS!! Hugs and blessings, Sabrina
Ok Mrs. Becca I am waiting on your Becca Bit for this tutorial! Or will it be a Becca bow? I am thanking you in advance because I love everything you create and you have inspired me tremendously. Because of you, I have been able to create several of your projects in which I thought I would never be able to attempt. I did two of your twist top boxes, one with windows and one without. They both were hits. Sorry, to say I have not posted any pictures to my blog as I create and forget about pictures then give the things away!
I’m rambling so I let you read someone else’s comment now.
Blessings,
Mary
So beautiful Becca!!!!!!!
you are something! Very pretty!
Sandra

OH MY GOODNESS!!! That is gorgeous!
Love this card Becca. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Can we please have this included in your next Becca Bits.
God Bless you always
Oh my gosh look at that….amazing!
What a beautiful card you have created Becca. I think maybe a Becca Bit is called for if you have time. How clever to weave the ribbon in and out of the die-cuts. Beautiful sentiment and I love the colors chosen. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
Amazing card Becca. It is beautiful. You do such lovely work. Thanks for sharing.
Wow Becca it amazes me how you see the possibilities in those dies! This is STUNNING! Of course I love your bow.
Hugs & Blessings Bernie
Gorgeous as always. I can’t wait to get the lacy circles to give it a try.
wow love what you have done with the ribbon
This is a beautiful card you have made.
You AMAZE me! That is so pretty.
So gorgeous, Becca.
Oh boy this is awesome Becca. I just love this one, and I can see, there´s another thing, that has to go on my never ending wishlist here ha ha ha. Your card is just stunning.
have a wonderful sunday.
Big hugs Maryann
Gorgeous card! Do you have a trick for keeping the shaped on center while you weave the ribbon?
I love this card! But, then again I love all your cards. I have to agree with everyone else — please, please do a Becca Bits on both the weaving and the bow. How on earth did you get the smaller bow on the larger one? I love the weaving in the circles how did you do it? — so many questions. You are the best. I always look forward to your posts.
Stunning! WOW! Amazing! There are not enough words to say how fabulous this is. I love how your brain thinks and all the wonderful creations you come up with using the Spellbinders dies. I seriously think you need to write a tutorial book with step by step picture instructions on everything you do with Spellbinders… I would buy it!
Oh my goodness, I know I sound like a broken record here but you just keep amazing me with your creativity, Awesome!!
Holy smokes Batman. Talk about blowing me out of the water. You take nesties where no one else goes.
Your ribbon weaving is so pretty! I am always amazed at all the beautiful ideas you come up with! What an artist!
Thanks for sharing! :o)
OK now Seriously Becca!!! Does your creativity ever end??? I mean…come on…this is GORGEOUS!!! I wish I had a smidge of your talent in me…Thanks for sharing just the photo of your beautiful card made my whole smile…I hope the recipient enjoys it as much as we have!
Valerie
Amazingly Gorgeous card. You are the most talented woman cardmaker ever!!
Thank you for sharing another stellar creation!!
Becca ~ FAB Card! Love it! Thank you for the coupon code, I’ll have my catalog soon!!!
D :)
This is really beautiful, but I don’t really see it as a card .. it should be framed on your wall!! Much too exceptional for a card …
I love your designs… if I had even half your talent …. Would love if you packaged your designs with all the products needed… (besides tools) for purchase with a picture/ instructions to recreate exactly yours … ;-)
Been back to look several times now — the lacy circles/squares & Fanciful Holiday are my favs from the new release! LOVE your woven lacy circles here!!!
I am speechless over the beauty of this card, this is jaw-dropping gorgeous! I love the phrase and your hubby’s comment is hilarious but true! Thks so much for sharing this piece of art xx
GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You truly inspire greatness! God Bless!
Love it! but then I read your over-under or under-over dilemma and got so-o-o confused. Tell your DH that it doesn’t matter if you can’t carry a tune….he can just sing louder.
BRILLIANT!! You are a paper engineer! I look forward to your new blogs with such anticipation because you always have something bigger than the last one. How do you do it?! I love this one and hope I can manage that ribbon to come out somewhat as clever as yours… Keep em coming!
Wow! This is a fabulous idea and turned out so beautiful! Love it!
I have to say, I’ve been away for some time while I was putting together a vow renewal and am now back to look at all I’ve missed. Wow, this is a fabulous card, I love that woven circle centerpiece. What a great idea! Always when I need inspiration, I can count on you to give it to me!
