Hope is the Thing

Cardmaking Ideas by Becca Feeken using Quietfire Design Hope is the Thing and Spellbinders Oval Regalia - www.amazingpapergrace.comGood morning sweet friends!  I hope you had a grand weekend!   I received some happy mail – a beautiful swoonworthy quote from Quietfire Design so I tinkered around with it to get it into a card.  Hope is the Thing With Feathers, beautiful stamp and one of my favorite Emily Dickinson quotes.  The swirl bird that tops the sentiment is absolutely enchanting!!

    Lovely sentiment. You seem to get a lot of detail on such a small card yet it never looks over done. I am having a craft room sort out today. Well I’ve started today not sure I’ll finish today though! It’s been a while since it had a good tidy up and I’ve found things I lost and things I forgot I had. It will be worth it when it’s done I keep telling myself. I do like to be organised but it takes time to keep on top of things but good storage solutions are key then there are no excuses! Mmmmm… Time will tell. Better get back to it whilst I’m in the sort it out mood.ReplyCancel

    Beautiful card and such dainty details that reminds me of just how fragile our faith can be in times of challenges that to man seems impossible all while knowing that nothing is impossible for God. I wish I could have this card as a constant reminder to remain hopeful in times of challenges.ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca,

    Just back from a trip to London, England and visited one of our favourite craft shops.
    We brought a list of Spellbinder die names with us which you have used and came home with a large bag of goodies. Very happy camper. Love this die on this card.

    Happy crafting and hugs from Ireland

  • Jennifer BackJune 17, 2015 - 8:51 am

    Hi Becca, what die did you use to cut the centre out of the oval regalia? The ovals i have are either too big or too small.

    • Becca FeekenJune 18, 2015 - 2:55 am

      Jennifer, I’m so sorry I didn’t list that in my supplies – it went right by me. I used Spellbinders Classic Ovals Small (the largest die). I’ll add that to my list :-)ReplyCancel
