Hi there blog friends. I ran out of steam yesterday and got up early this morning to do some creating. I put together a card so that I could show you the new flower that I’ve made into a tutorial. It was fun, I’ve been experimenting around with these flowers for quite some time and I think they’ll be easy to do when I’m in a pinch and need something for a card. I have to tell you, I’m loving this flower and am trying it out with several different widths of ribbon, The tutorial has already been taped and when I get home from my Stamp Club Meeting this afternoon, I’ll put it finish editing it and I’ll upload it here.
I cut a pretty simple medallion using Spellbinders Grand Ovals and Spellbinders Labels Eighteen which I grounded on a cross panel made using Spellbinders Jumbo Scalloped Border Petites and EK Success Abstract Flower Punch. It’s not quite as many layers as I accustomed to but it worked up quickly.
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: Printworks Paper: The Girls Paperie, Bazzill Ink: Versafine Vintage Sepia Accessories: Spellbinders Grand Ovals, Spellbinders Labels Eighteen, Spellbinders Jumbo Scalloped Borders Petite, EK Success Abstract Flower Punch, Ribbon, Pearls |
Remember to pop back in and see how easy the flower is to make when the tutorial is published this afternoon! Thank you all — your kindness keeps me inspired enough to sit down and craft :-)

Gosh Becca, I just don’t know what to say……you come up with some very amazing inspirations and ideas! Thank you, thank you and many more for sharing your wonderful talents with us all!
Once again, a beautiful elegant art-card from you! I love looking at your creations and tutorials! I some point I shall try for elegance! I’m not there yet in my abilities! God Bless you and your creative gift!
What a lovely uplifting card! Today is a much better day, since I looked at your newest creation. There is something about yellow and pink coming together as only you can do, that makes me feel good. Thank you for sharing this wonderful card.
Beautiful work!
My last comment seemed to disappear into the bits & bytes bucket, so I’ll try again and hope I don’t create a duplicate.
My day improved exponentially once I looked at your newest creation. It’s a delight. There is something about delicate yellowy cream and pink coming together as only you can do, that makes me feel great. Thank you so much for sharing this delicate, springy card.
This is stunning, I love this ribbon and can not wail to see the tutorial :)
You are an amazing woman. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome talent.
Pretty card! Can’t wait to see the ribbon flower tutorial. I love all of your bows and goodies.
A beautiful feminine card. Anxious to see your tutorial on another beautiful bow!
Thanks for another beautiful bow, I will watch your tutorial and try some of these, you always give such good instructions it makes them easy to do.
Jan
Becca, Love how you’ve utilized the ecru and whites together to fold in with the beautiful pinks. Love the paper, and am totally facinated with the bow. I am eagerly awaiting your tutorial. May your day be blessed.
I look forward to the day that I can turn out the beauties that you do. Absolutely gorgeous! You have a God-given talent for this and I’m so glad that you share with us all. Am anxious to see how this flower is made. Thanks for sharing your talents.
Jackie
I like the card and the saying. Thank you for sharing.
Have a great day :)
Delama
Becca, Thanks so much for the flower tutorial. They are indeed beautiful flowers, and I look forward to making some.
Becca, after watching the vidio of you making the flower/bow, knew you would make something gorgeous.. and you did it!! Love ;yoour light pink and the lt beige together… they really look great and love the sentiment.. a beautiful card… TFS
Hugs, Jean
Becca,
What a really, really pretty card. It is just so delicate and is such a beautiful pink and cream color combination with a bit of white. To me the design and colors of this card signify real caring and love from the person who is giving it to their special friend, a spouse, their mother, etc. It is just down right gorgeous.
I especially like the Spellbinders Labels 18 die cut / embossed piece that you chose for the sentiment as this label die does not have a whole lot of distracting points on it for this particular card’s use further it sits really nicely on the cream colored Grand Oval die cut / embossed piece and you then placed them above the border of ribbon and the die cut and punched pieces in pink and white with those pretty white pearls on it. You have put all of this work together on a perfect choice of absolutely beautifully designed and colored patterned paper and all I can say is that it may not have all the layers that you are so used to creating with but can I make believe that I am sick so you can send it to me as a get well card?
Peggy
Beautiful creation Becca. I love the colours and the bow. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Becca for the beautiful card with that amazing bow. The tutorial was great and hopefully I will be able to make that pretty bow too.
You speak about your scrap room….how about letting us take a look! I find great ideas by seeing what others have done in organizing their spaces.
Again thanks Becca for another great Becca Bit!
Hello Becca, I love your new flower tutorial. I was wondering where you bought your seam binding ribbon? Thanks for sharing.
Hi, Becca you blow Martha Stewart away. Keep coming up with Becca
bits. I enjoy them.Thanks for sharing. GOD BLESS
Caroline
Hi Becca…your new flower bow is gorgeous and looks beautiful on your card. Thanks for sharing the how to video. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.
Becca, you never cease to amaze me! I have never used Scor Tape, but I do have some of the red liner tape. Do you think that would work? TFS again!
Lisa
Becca these are beautiful! I have Scor-Tape sitting on my desk and a roll of seam binding. I see a beautiful flower in my future! Thanks for the great idea!
Sandy
This brings back some memories. We made these back in my gymnastic days. We used sasheen ribbon (the kind that stuck to itself when moistened) and these were placed on the first place team ribbons. I haven’t seen that type of ribbon in years. Thanks for the how-to and the stroll down memory lane. All of the double sided tapes sure make crafting a lot easier these days.
Marcie
so pretty, just love the paper and that flower border punch is so pretty with the pearls! Pretty ribbon treatment!
I found your blog about a month ago and have checked in and out as I had time. I love your creativity and engineering skills, but more than that, I love your generous spirit and teaching ability. Not only do I see you as creative inpiration, but also as a sort of spiritual advisor. You see I am caring for my parents who are in their 80’s and started to feel the burden. I had given up on making my lampwork beads and polymer clay as it was too much time away from where I needed to be. My sister had inspired me to make a few cards but it wasn’t until I found your blog that I fell in love with the colors and textures and dimension that are possible with paper, glue and ribbon. I am also so sorry to hear of your recent loss and wish to offer my condolences. I am praying for you and your family. Thank you.
Renie
Becca there is nothing that you have created that I don’t love. God has really given you a talent that has allowed you to bless others. Thank you for sharing.
Becca
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of the scor tape, but I wouldlike to know where to purchase it. So that I may try that beautiful flower. And as usual thanks for sharing and I love the card and color combo. You’re bestest!! Have a great day!
