Good morning friends, I can hardly wait for March 31 when we kick off Spellbinders Shipping Frenzy! I’m excited because I have a tutorial to share with you but I’m equally excited that you’ll have a chance to win die templates! Just be sure to stop by on March 31 to get your name in the drawing! In the mean time a feminine card to share today. Silhouettes and cameos are my favorite so I wanted to make a vintage feel card using Spellbinders Silhouette, it’s a classic! I’ve used Spellbinders Labels Thirty Six to place the silhouette and garland on and it is yet mounted on an accordian folded medallion. I skimmed through my stash of stamps and found a My Minds Eye set – Honey Happiness Stamps – and it had a fabulous sentiment that I thought would fit wonderfully! After stamping on Spellbinders Classic Ovals LG, I rimmed with gold pen to make it pop. I’m in love with the music paper…it’s been calling my name for a while so I’m tickled to use it in a project.
I have to gush a little bit about a recent find that made my heart sing! While shopping in Hobby Lobby I came across a stack of ‘aged’ paper tied in a bundle sitting in a random display – there were only one or two. I’m certain that it was meant to be a knick knack of some sort but when I fanned through the paper, it was absolutely delicious with aging on the edges of each piece. It came home with me to use on cards and such; I can’t wait to try to make flowers with it!! The top pages look like they’ve been tea dyed and the center pages are not pristine, they have some stains on them but it sure won’t bother me. It’s a wispy thin paper kind of like rice paper…I never really care if it’s acid free or not on things I use for cards – I’m sure this is not acid free. At any rate, I put a picture of the stack below. I used this paper in my pleating above and the Labels 36 layer. This Aged Hobby Lobby paper is 6″ x 9″ – I know it’s hard to tell in the picture.

I am always excited to see what great things are coming from youand Spellbinders.
Wonderful find! Your card looks just like a pin that my Mom used to wear. So pretty! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Hi Becca,
As one of your fans from the UK ! I just loved the name Hobby Lobby!
You didn’t need to know that – but you do now! I, too , love to find things in unusual places. My best find was a bag of buttons! I paid just over a pound for a large bag of the most beautiful buttons – they had obviously been someone’s pride and joy!
Your card is lovely and I love cameos! Your musical script paper is lovely and your sentiment, bow and button! I should just have said I liked it all!
Tomorrow, Sunday is Mothering Sunday here. Happy Mothering Sunday to all Mums and Grandmas in the States! PS we also move our clocks forward one hour after midnight! Then we have BST – British Summer Time – ha ha !
God Bless,
Myra
Love Myra
Oops it was not meant to read God Bless Myra, love Myra. The first Myra is surplus to requirements! Sorry!
What a very beautiful card Becca ,great colors used and a lovely little sentiment .
I hope you have a lovely Mothering Sunday
God Bless
Love Elaine H X
beautiful card, Becca! I love finding “jewels” such as this. Sometimes at yard sales I come across things like this! Patiently waiting for Monday. I ordered from a supplier other than Spellbinders, wonder when they will come. Very anxious!

Beautiful cards, and will definitely be here on 31st,to see what you are up to.
Quite honestly, I almost fell off my chair when I opened your e-mail and saw this magnificent card. (By the way I do not make a habit of this practice!! :o)
Every element is just perfect and the end product is soooo elegant, feminine and a feast for the eyes. Unquestionably a ‘Becca Feeken Studio’ card. Your artistic talent is unsurpassed in card-making circles imo. I wish I had 1% of that talent. ..sigh..
What a find and what a card! It looks fabulous…as always!!
Oh my my. What a speckie…. Lovin this card. Gold always gives a lift to everythng. Can not wait for my orders… still missing sleep with excitement. Thank you for sharing and caring.
Hugs Lorraine FDU

Very beautiful card with many elegant touches. Your HL find looks like a real treasure.
Exquisite!
Beautiful card. I love your find with the papers!! I don’t know about you, but I love the feel of old paper, and also the smell. (I know, strange) I loved onion paper when I was a little girl- it sounded so crisp and clean. I pray paper never is replace with technology !

Gorgeous card and love the aged paper stack!
I love this card “Just the way it is.”. Love everything about it. Thank you for your inspiration.

Hi Becca, This card is really beautiful.

Awww, did you make that just for me? LOL. I’m a music teacher. Wonderful card.
Fabulous card! Just beautiful!!
SMASHING CARD
Good evening Beautiful Becca! I have a question. I’ve looked through the tutorials regarding bows and don’t see anything that refers to the type of bow you used on the card (3/9/14) Wonderful or similar to the one used today. I’ve tried myself and end up with a mess. Any hints or tips? Also, I’d love to know the color of the May Arts ribbon you used on the 3/9 card.
Several months ago I asked you to guide me as to the dies I should buy first and you made a wonderful suggestion and at Christmas my children chipped in and gave me a few gift cards that promptly went to Spellbinders and JustRite! I am once again ready to place another order for some of the magnificent dies Spellbinders released in January – Valiant Honor, Divine Eloquence, Feathers, Tranquil Moments, Belly Band One, Romantic Rectangles 2, etc. Spellbinders makes it very hard to only choose a few!
Thanks Becca for all you do and I hope your Spring is blessed with sunshine, laughter and lots and lots of flowers. God Bless you and keep you safe.
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful card. God bless.
This is beautiful and timeless!
just love the project thanks for the insperation
