Hi there friends, today I’m sharing an ensemble brooch and matching gift card. As you see, I was on quite the gift making spree but all the items I made were fairly easy. The brooch was initially going to be another ornament just like the one from earlier this week that you can see HERE but a moment of serendipity created this and led me down the road to make the brooch. Score!! Since scarves are so popular right now, that means brooches are too!!
For the card I wanted to clearly show the pattern on the ribbon so the recipient knows the brooch is handmade – a piece of ribbon is taped across two corners.
My card is 5-1/2″ square then I used Spellbinders Elizabeth Border Strip for the center between the two pieces of ribbon. That combination is then topped with Spellbinders Pierced Squares. Lastly, my sentiment is mounted on Spellbinders Petite Pennants.
For the brooch, I used the same ribbon and once folded and made into a circle, nestled a pearl button cluster on the inside and mounted a pin back on the bottom so that it can be worn..png){kind=small}

As we meander towards Christmas I’ll have more gifts – frugal gal that I am. In the mean time, I’m as always dabbling with cards – just can’t help it!!

Okay, let me go back and look at your creation so I can get in my happy space, again.

Just when I think I cannot possibly be more in awe of your lalents, you step things up with something new. Your broach and card are stunning! Both look to be very high-end artist creations. What a lovely gift this will be. You continue to inspire always in all ways!
Becca, this is such an elegant Christmas card and nothing says “elegant” better then Gold Majesty Circles die set. I just love it. Beautiful Card.

Oh, Becca. How lovely! The card is fabulous – I love the decorative square layered over the Elizabeth border. That is so clever!
But the broach. Oh, my. That is spectacular!! You little genius!
I´m totally blown away with the broche here, it´s sooo amazing and elegant, and what a great idea to make the ribbon come again on the card too. Both are sooo amazing and I love how you made them to fit each other in such a great way here.
You are truly amazing in everything you ever do. Have a wonderful week ahead here now.
Both the card and the brooch are just gorgeous, so elegant!
Lovely colors as well :))
Morning Becca, Wow !!!! these are stunning, and the recipient will be ‘over the moon’ to receive them.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hello Becca
I am loving these gifts that you’re making !
They are so beautiful and I love the colours you have chosen too!
Thanks for the instructions !
Take care
Love Marg
Double lovely. Love that brooch!
I love your cards <3 you inspire me :-)Follow you. :-)
Hi Becca, There you go again–diagonals and squares so different from florals and ovals but absolutely lovely. Your mind works in wonderful ways. But you skipped over “once folded the ribbon.” Even if you did a tutorial with the folding of the ribbon, don’t know if I could do it. Overall a beautiful gift that ties so beautifully with your card. All those details and all on the mark. So like you. Thanks for the pretties. Barbara
Becca, what a lovely card and brooch. Absolutely beautiful!
Another lovely project! The colours are awesome & it’s a gift ensemble that is sure to be loved & appreciated
LOOOOOVELY BECCA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the gift making! That is EXACTLY what I enjoy & I’m SURE it is of the other women too! ;)
Stunning!
Hello Becca,

Carla from Utah
I LOVE your card! That ribbon is so pretty and looks awesome with the kraft card stock! I would love to see how you made that beautiful brooch!
Hi Becca love the card but the brooch is stunning would love if there is any instructions
On how it’s made please Thank Helen
Another beautiful Becca creation. Would we like a tutorial on the ribbon brooch? Yes, please!
OMG Becca! what a gorgeous brooch and card!!!. Now, you CANNOT show us this beauty and not give us a tutorial on how to make that stunning brooch. You do not really think you can slide it like that, right? I am sure that I am not the only one who needs to learn how to do that. ( no idea how). I am so visual, please, please, please a tutorial is NEEDED. Thank you for sharing these two beauties.
So very pretty. The brooch looks like something you’d only find in the nicest boutiques. And to think, you made it! I love how the ribbon is also featured on the card so there is no mistake that the brooch was your creation.
What an ensemble! Is there no end to your creative talents…..
Hugs
