From the second I saw the new borders, I knew they had to be mine. There, I said it. I’ve waited patiently a couple of days to post this card that I played around with right before new years. These borders are so versatile, you can use one, two or border a whole card or page with them. Being a border junkie, I can finally put the border exactly where ‘I’ want it and ‘I’ say what’s top and what’s bottom. You might say that I’m border empowered, now!! I created a panel using the new Spellbinders™ A2 Bracket Borders One. It was the perfect jumping off point for a sweet new Valentines Day set from Waltzingmouse Stamps called My Heart, that is deliciously distressed. I cut the leaf heart out by hand and stamped my sentiment in the center of the heart. Then I threaded a corsage pin through the filigree openings of the die cut border and added a bow.
Many of you asked about the digital paper I used on my last card from January 1. My record keeping is horrible and I simply pulled it and this one from a stack of papers I had printed some time ago – I’ll keep looking, but email me if this looks familiar. Most of my digital papers are from the Crafty Secrets CD’s HERE.
| SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: Waltzingmouse Stamps – My Heart Paper: Coredinations, Digital Paper Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, Amuse – Cranberry Accessories: Spellbinders™ A2 Bracket Borders One, Satin Ribbon, Maya Roads Triple Pearl Pin |
Hope you are off to a smashing week!!
Nice use of the border.
Such a beautiful card here again and in such a nice warm color. I love what you´ve done here Becca.
I want those bracket borders. Saw them on the Spellbinders blog. They are so cute and I love how you used one.
What a lovely valentine! The border die is fantastic and I love seeing it used as it’s own decorative element. Beautiful, Becca!
Fantastic card – love the borders!! My Spellbinders “to get” list keeps growing longer, LOL!
WOW! You really made this border pop! And as I am just catching up on posts from the holiday chaos, I wanted to tell you how much your glass globe project inspired me! How do you come up with all of these terrific ideas? And the materials that are JUST THE RIGHT size! Love the new Spellbinders dies and can’t wait to see even more of your project designs! Happy New Year!
I like the paper it has the rustic look. I love the boarders. Very beautiful!
Becca,
This is really pretty. Before reading your explanation, I thought it was a clear-top box with a card inside. You really made the border POP! I love it! ~Cynthia

Such lovely borders…and you have done such lovely things with them!
Very pretty, lady!!
Today I got home from a weekend jaunt in the rv and my Becca Bowmaker was here. I am so anxious to put it together and start making “BECCA” bows!! That was my Christmas present to myself. Beyond the gift cards I got from family. I will let you know how I make out with it.
Hugs,

Becca,
Your work IS Extrodinare, Exquisite, Elegant.
You are truly an inspiration.
When I am feeling down, I find your blog to browse to put the sunshine in my day. (I’d like to be that little mouse sitting on the corner of your work desk).
I have to have surgery on my right arm in 11-days so I’ll be stopping by daily for a dose of medicine!
Cordially,
Cindy
