Sweet friends, I hope you’ll indulge me. Making dies is a dream come true for me and the long wait from design time to production feels like a kid waiting for Christmas. Since life has changed for me so much over the last years, this is something I really look forward to and truly savor plus it lets me be able to keep Amazing Paper Grace going. These are dies I designed at the beginning of the year and I’ve sat on pins and needles hoping you like them. As always, you know that you can pop me any advice about things you’d like to see on my contact page. Without further ado… Introducing Cinch and Go Flowers.
Here is a video so that you can see the dies in detail as well as how to make two versions of the flowers I show here.
I decided to go with a long format card (sized 5″ x 9-1/4″) so that I could build a spray of flowers using S6-050 Spellbinders Cinch and Go Flowers by Amazing Paper Grace. The flowers run down a good bit of the length of the card. A custom envelope will be in order but that’s easy these days the envelope board I normally use. I simply embellished the card with Spellbinders Victorian Arch and the corners are the edges of Spellbinders A2 Tranquil Moments – I just isolated one corner and tucked the rest behind.

Rubber Stamps: Jillibean Soup – Handwritten Sentiments
Craft Paper: Neenah Classic Crest 80lb Smooth Natural White, Vellum
Ink: Versamark and White Embossing Powder
Accessories: S6-050 Spellbinders Cinch and Go Flowers by Amazing Paper Grace, Spellbinders Victorian Arch, Spellbinders A2 Tranquil Moment, May Arts Ribbon, Netting, Corsage Pin, Darice PearlsI’m really excited! Thanks so much for stopping by – more to come!!
Beautiful card and set Becca. Love the different sizes and those swirl dies.
What a stunning card, from your gorgeous half circle, to your filigree corners to your amazing bows and flowers cascading, I am in love with this card.
Thank you, thank you for sharing!!!
JUST GORGEOUS BECCA!!! This would make a LOVELY Wedding Card with the spray of flowers & the one die looking like a fan! GORGEOUS!!!!!!! ;) AND THANK YOU for the win!!!! :D You’ve made my day!!! ;)
Great video instructions! Love, love, love this die set! The flowers are beautiful and quick is good. It is a must have. Looking forward to future dies.
Oh wow! So feminine and beautiful! You make flower making look easy…mine never turn out like this. Love the card…
A beautiful card, and a nifty die set. Love these 3 different looks from this versatile die, and I’m really enjoying the videos you’ve shared lately. Enabled me into getting a Minck, and now looking for a laser/scanner printer. If you’ve time, could please provide info as to which one you have? Thanks Becca, and God Bless. Hope your sweet Ben is doing better. Hugs
Wow, I just have to get that die set. Like you I love flowers on my cards. But I never have the right colour at the time. Now that I will be able to make my own so easily I’ll never be stuck again. You are a genius. Thanks a mil for a great demo. Aiveen.
Hi Becca, I’m excited,too. For you but also for me. Your new dies are lovely but what you do with them is even better and you demonstrate features not seen on first glance making them must haves. I went on line and will be ordering all available 5 this week. The flower making video was great and I hope you do videos on all your new dies with follow up cards on the blog. You are just like the Energizer Bunny–your talent just keeps going and going and you continue to share. Many thanks. Barbara
Hi! Enjoyed the video…very clever dies…great idea!
I do have a couple of questions on a different subject….with your oversized cards and envelopes…do you use 12×12 paper for the cards and what kind of paper do you use for envelopes? Thx!
Aww just beautiful as always Becca, thank you for the video, i will watch it in the Morning , Night Night
God Bless.

Simply stunning!
A lovely delicate looking card today. The color combination is awesome. WOW, your latest set of dies are wonderful to make three different flower looks. Thank you for your video. I can hardly wait to try these. I like how you wired the pearls to use as a thread to go though the flower petal groups. You are so clever. Prayers continue to go out for Ben, you, and your family. Hope Ben is doing better today and is out of the ICU. Hugs.
Hi Becca,
Lovely card and flowers, you sure make it look easy to make them my flowers never turn out like that.Enjoyed your video.
this is a beautiful card and what pretty flowers. Now I can make them in the color that I want. The video was great very carefully put together and spoken slowly enough to make one as you speak. Looking forward to your other new dies.
Good morning Becca, I hope all is well, my prayers are with you.
What a talented lady you are : ) your flowers are gorgeous and your card is Devine : )
Have a good one!!!

Oh My Goodness Becca, I love the new dies and can’t wait to add them to my collection!! Beautiful card! Loves, Ruthie
Wow! How exciting, I love your card and I can’t wait to buy your die set. I really enjoy making my own flowers so that they match my projects. I also find it quite therapeutic to sit and make flowers.
Absolutely gorgeous! I love them, You did awesome with them {{{hugz}}}
Oh Becca, what beautiful little flowers, so cute and dainty. Love them girl!! I can see this is going to be a month of Becca dies – never can wait until I can get my hands on them. Already have the Tranquil moments. Thanks for sharing this lovely card.
Bless you.

Becca, this is such a gorgeous card and I love your dies! Your talent and creativeness is beyond words.
Lovely flowers you made a beautiful card with them.
Becca, These flowers are so lovely. Can’t wait to get the die.
Wow! I love your new die set! I watched your video and the tip to use wire with a pearl is one that I have never thought of and will remember. Your scrunched flowers are so very pretty! Congratulations on your fabulous new die set! Oh, I love your cards too, as usual they are so beautiful!
I saw these dies somewhere yesterday, I did not realize they were your design. Love that they are attached for ease in cutting. Beautiful card and video
Spellbinders is so lucky to have you designing for them. I can’t wait to get these new dies. I loved your video!
This is just sooo gorgeous sweet lady. You´re just not fair, to make such beauties here already again, now that I´ve finally got the store to get hold of the old ones you made, and now you already show me more, that I need to have too, so I can get started all over again here ha ha ha. But I hope, it wount take them that long again this time, as it did last time , as they must know now, where to go for them.
I absolutely love your wonderful work here.
Have a wonderful week ahead here now and lots of great fun too.
Wow! Fab dies and video. These are a must have! Love the card also.
I think you just made my hubbies Christmas shopping easier!?
OH MY!!! A set of flower dies from Becca Freeken! I am so thrilled! One of my favorite things to do is create my own flowers for my projects and I’ve been waiting for something from you. I have not disappointed either…not that I ever thought you would. You have thought of everything! Attaching the smaller dies together to create the perfect card size flower is BRILLIANT and your idea for stacking them on a pearl with wire is ASTOUNDING! You will save me hours of work and the flowers can be done in multiple ways! AMAZING! I cannot wait to hold these gems in my hands and add my ink and maybe a bit of glitter now and again!
The card you created is stunningly elegant in its simplicity! I love the taupe, cream and PINK colors. The die cuts are GORGEOUS and your flowers complete the look of a very chic card. I am in love with this card and have no doubt I will recreate my own version and send it off to my Mothef. She will adore it too and it will brighten her day!
Thank you, Becca, for adding dies to your beautiful line. I know I plan to add them to my collection because they are incredible! Blessings!
Hello Becca these flowers are lovely and you make it look so easy
to make them ! Love the way you put them together .
You have put a lot of thought into how you have placed the dies

A beautiful card, and I really like the flower die set you have designed!
So easy to use – a “must-have” :))
Gorgeous! You knocked it out of the park! Easy flowers and wonderful card!
Your dies are now and always have been fabulous. Love the new cinch flower. Sure makes flower making easy. Just finished weekend project with my twin granddaughters- painted pumpkins. they painted their pumpkins with faces and then along with bling, jewels, glitter and tons of flowers and greenery, they embellished. Of course, grandma had to come up with the flowers and boy could these dies have saved me some time!!!! Lol. But for 5 year olds, I am amazed at how creative and artistic they are. Pumpkins turned out adorable, and we had fun. However, trying to meet the demands of two kids at the same time was difficult. At times like this, I certainly wish I had a clone. One for each of them.

Beautiful!!
Oh, Becca! I LOVE flowers and these are so special! Can’t wait to get my hands on theses! I do a question about the glue gun you are using in the video. Who makes it & where can I get one? I am always looking for a more controlled method of applying glue! {{{hugs}}}
Beautiful flowers and I love the die to make them; so easy and quick. I love your videos, always easy to understand and done at a nice tempo!! Thank you as always for sharing your creativity!
OOOOoooooohhhHHH! Becca!!! What a beautiful card! I love your new dies! ! They are wonderful and I’m heading right over to get some. Love those roses!
Still keeping Ben and your family in my prayers. I know God will be your Rock.
Beautiful flowers Becca, loved the video , think I am going to have to get these!
On another note, i pray now that your brother will start to improve and come to a full recovery, and that you will find the strength to hang in there ,
God Bless ,
