Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Quietfire Design - I Dwell in Possibility and Spellbinders Royal Medallions - www.amazingpapergrace.com
Good morning friends!  I love a classic go-to card that doesn’t take too much fiddling but really has impact.  I tuck those ideas away in a folder and every time I need a quick wedding card, thank you card or just don’t have the time to brainstorm – I go to that folder.  Here’s a new one for my folder this year. The laurel wreath die is a fairly new die from the A Gilded Life Collection – Royal Medallions and it absolutely makes the card.  I layered it onto Spellbinders Heirloom Oval and love the play between the two dies – the staggered look draws your eye in.  (It would also look lovely on the die I used on my last card Spellbinders Oval Regalia).   The beautiful new quote from Quietfire Design called I Dwell in Possibility is a perfect fit inside the laurel leaves.  The bottom of the focal layer is cut with Spellbinders A2 Bracket Borders One

Designers Tip:  The dimension in the laurel wreath is just begging to be shown.  After cutting it in gold, sponge on some brown ink and wipe some off – it’s a bit like antiquing and some will settle in the nooks and crannies to show off the beautiful deboss.  The card is 6″ x 6″

    Hello Becca,
    I would never have gone for a Laurel Wreath die, it just goes to show how wrong I am. This is stunning, and the tip about the brown ink is very useful. Thank you.
    Please keep your bugs to yourself over there, I had enough last Christmas!!! but I do hope you feel better soon.

    What a breakthrough idea to cut apart a die and layer the pieces. Now I realize that you have cut pieces in the past, however, I just understood it clearly. Thanks for your continued designs that inspire and teach !ReplyCancel

  • Carol H.June 21, 2015 - 9:31 pm

    Such a beautiful card! I love the dark blue and how the core of the paper is showing.

    The name and email fields are blank but I have “AutoFill” turned on so I just have to click that for it to fill in my information. It’s always worked this way for me. :)ReplyCancel
