Hi there sweet friends, I have an easy peasy, all die, no measuring card to share with you today. I was inspired by the sentiment but I wanted to keep it simple. Three layers, that’s all and since they are staggered, the layer behind them shows off very well. The sentiment is Wordsworth from a set called the Women Collection – I just adore Louisa May Alcott.
I used Spellbinders Exquisite Labels Eleven for my card base. I have a video on how to cut and join each of two pieces for a hinged card – you can see that HERE. The next layer is the Mediterranean Medallion M-Bossabilities 3D folder, then the upper layer is Spellbinders Valiant Honor. The flowers are embellished with the petite little leaves and swirls from Spellbinders Sprigs.
Here’s how I made it – step by step:
- Cut/emboss two Exquisite Labels Eleven from cream cardstock. One of the cuts must encase a 1″ horizontal fold in order to make a hinge. For visual learners see the Hinge Video.
- With pink cardstock, emboss Mediterranean Medallion M-Bossibilities 3D Folder and trim around the motif edge with an exacto knife.
- Cut/emboss second largest motif from Valiant Honor with cream cardstock. Stamp with sentiment then attach to Mediterranean Medallion with double foam tape.
- Take an 8″ length of Blossom ribbon to span across card vertically over both layers of Mediterranean Medallion and Valiant Honor, securing on back with tape. Attach to card base using double foam.
- Embellish with pearls and add bow on top of vertical span of ribbon.
- Cut/emboss leaf piece of Sprigs with green cardstock, and cut/emboss flourish piece of sprigs with cream cardstock.
- Add Sprigs and flowers to bow.

This is an awesome card. So simple yet so beautiful !! I am running not walking to my craft room right now!
Stunning! One of my great-great grandmothers (not sure how many greats) was very good friends with Louisa May Alcott, in fact was a character in her book Little Women. Love this card. :)
Very beautiful and the sentiment is very timely for me as I am going through some serious storms with my health right now.

Hello Becca
In the last few weeks we have had a number of storms !
Its been hot here which is unusual, the last couple of years it rained and rained, and flooded, it is never the same, that’s an English summer.
The Butterflies and Flowers love it!
I love Little Women one of the Classics of my school days!
I really like the font on your card Becca, such a lovely card

Good evening Becca,
Oh how i love when you make your beautiful filigree cards as they look so delicate and so very pretty looking. They look as if they took so long to the unaware amongst the population, but they are so exquisitely designed and put together. Thank you Becca for your continuing inspiration,
love and crafty hugs

This is such an exquisite and stunning card. Every element complement each other. Lovely!!
Lovely card Becca, and a great sentiment from one of my favorite authors. Thank you for the hinged card tut, I plan to get one going here in a day or so. This is another great inspiration.

Becca,
Did you make this card just to inspire me with the meaningful words? Thanks, I needed it.
Love, love, love the card and easy peasy is wonderful!
What a beautiful card & as you said easy. Love all the cards & bows that you teachs us.
Gorgeous card as always – but the sentiment is the one that spoke to me most today – I see a new stamp set in my near future.
Thanks, Becca!
Becca, another beautiful card today. When you layer your cards just what glue or adhesive do you use on the delicate layers and what weight of card stock do you use for them?
Joanne
Becca what a stunning card!
So simple, yet so elegant! Love the sentiment.
Love this – and the double satin bow is back – yeah! I am :-) again. Just cant beat your bows Becca.
Hi Becca,

You made a wonderful card.

Another truly stunning card. I love the colors and the texture added by the embossing folder.
Hi Becca,
Another absolutely gorgeous card. I have tried this style a number of times but I find it really really hard to get the dies to cut through the creased part because it’s a double layer. Can you tell me if there is a specific type of card you use? You make it look so easy but I’ve tried for hours and hours to get this right and I keep messing it up.
Hugs Alice xx
Hi Becca
As always your card is beautiful! You never cease to amaze me with your talent. I have a question about the cutting of the hinge front if I may please? I have tried cutting card fronts in the way you show in your video however, mine always seem to not quite cut in the double layer of the card. I have tried running through my GC several times but this seems to mess up the card. Do you have any suggestions please that may help to cut the card easier? Perhaps I am using too heavy a card (centura pearl which I believe is around 250 to 300 gsm).
Best wishes
