Hi there blog friends!  Let me start out by saying thank you so much — I am humbled by the sweet honor of your favor!!   I asked God for courage, and received an answer loud and clear, in a way that has left me awed and speechless.  If you left a message for me by going to my contact page and saying that you wanted to be on the pre-order list for the Peg Bow Maker, you should have received an email from me with a link to the ordering page and with my sincere thanks for believing in me.   I have yet another tool that I’ve been developing for the last year and a half that will see the light of day soon.   It’s not a do-it-yourself kind of thing but you’ve empowered me think I can actually finish bringing it to life.  Ah, courage . . .

In the mean time, there’s yet a wonderful new die template that you’ve not seen yet.  I wasn’t able to show it before CHA and it almost killed me!!  Spellbinders™ Floral Ovals is a template that I’ve been dreaming of.  I love ovals and use them often, but this one has a decorative, romantic, feminine flare.  I used two of the Floral Ovals set slightly askew to create an opening for my sentiment panel using Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Five.  Onr top of the opening I laid  Spellbinders™ Twisted Metal Tags and Accents – I know I use that a lot!!  Paired with new stamps from JustRite Stampers that you haven’t seen yet either – I ask you to turn your thoughts toward the Easter that approaches.  Using a sentiment from JustRite called Easter Blessing Oval Medallion, I  paired it the new JustRite Fleur de Lis Background Stamp.   Up the side of the card I used Spellbinders™ Moroccan Accents that I layered with lace and seam binding and finished with a Triple Bow (Double bow + 1 on Peg Bow Maker).

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: JustRite Stampers –Fleur de Lis Background Stamp, Easter Blessing Oval Medallion
Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Cream 80lb, Bazzill
Ink:  Colorbox Chalk Ink – Prussian Blue, Stormy Sky Distress Ink
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Moroccan Accents,  Spellbinders™ Floral Ovals, Spellbinders™ Twisted Metal Tags and Accents, Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Five, Seam Binding, Pearl Pick, Recolletions Pearls

Sincerely sweet friends, I am amazed – I read every email yesterday and responded individually to more than 250 of you, I have more to go but missed a night’s sleep somewhere in this adventure.  They were not all emails about the bow maker, some of them were well wishes and some were other people in my same situation reaching out for a shared word.  It’s a lesson to me daily that I don’t know everything about the world, but I do know that I have a treasure in the family I’ve made in blog land and I want you to know there’s not an iota of your kindness that I take for granted.

    We love and appreciate you too!! You are an original! Every wonderful creation I have seen on your blog is original. Not a re-do of someone else’s idea. You have no idea how special that is. I can’t count the times I have seen something on other blogs that was presented as their own idea when I had seen it weeks earlier on a different blog or two. Your original talent amazes me . I am thrilled the launch of your Peg Bow maker is a success. I eagerly awaiting getting mine.ReplyCancel

    Another beautiful card Becca, these dies are amazing.

    By the way I watched a CHA video earlier on by Noel Hyman from Paperclipping.com. She was at the Spellbinders booth and made a special feature of your amazing project (the crown and wand with the Maroccan dies). You may want to see it.

    Can’t wait to hear what your other new tool is!ReplyCancel

  • Becky GreenJanuary 31, 2012 - 1:19 pm

    Oh Becca!!! You know the world is truely cruel!!!!!! But every-so-often, you find somewhere, someone who hears what you’re saying! I think in what you do, AND because you’re SOOOO GOOD at it, you have found a group of people out here in blogland that can identify with you & appreciate you! I’m SURE everyone of these people have dreams…whatever they may be, papercrafts or otherwise! And when you find someone, like you, who is SOOO GOOD at what you do, WHY wouldn’t others encourage you in what you want to do??? You’re SO WILLING to share with others!!!!!! (That in itself sometimes, is hard to find!) Can’t wait to see what other tool you have come up with!!!!!!!!!!!! (I’ll probably want one of those too! ) :)
    Your card today is SOOOO LOVELY!!!!!!!!!!! The lace you used resembles the GORGEOUS dies you used!!!!!!!!!!! AND blue pearls to match???? WOW!!!! I have been thinking of Easter already!!!!!!!!!!! :)ReplyCancel

  • Marcie SmithJanuary 31, 2012 - 3:15 pm

    I too love this new oval !!!! As soon as I saw it, it went on my order. I am really intrigued with the tuck and fold dies, they remind me of some older brass border templates that had come out many years ago. Each cut had to be done by exacto knife, but it was all the rage in the scrapbook world. The other amazing new Spellbinder release was the new e-embossabilities. Some of them are really gorgeous and I just couldn’t help my self. I had to ask the question many times however, before someone finally told me that you need the new rasberry adapter plate for these. So I quickly slipped that on my order as well. This was the first time thou that I can honestly say there were some dies that I actually could live without. That hasn’t happened in a really long time.

    Becca, I am SO glad that you are marketing your Peg Bow Maker!!! My sweet husband made one for me from your pictures and description, and I am using it all the time. Best wishes on your endeavor!

    Next I asked my husband to help me with the Loom, after finding my round, hinged, wooden box at Michael’s for 9 cents. I had to buy the last two and make one for our daughter as well.

    I look forward to any and all your posts, including the absolutely wonderful one today. This card will be a favorite of mine – with the Easter verse in blue and ivory and all the Spellbinder layers and lace/pearl embellishment!
    Thanks ever so much for sharing your gift with all of us!ReplyCancel

  • Kathy BurrisJanuary 31, 2012 - 4:33 pm

    Another beautiful card Becca! I totally agree with you about oval dies and the new one from Spellbinders will go to the top of my wish list. I am a great fan of Spellbinders products (have the original Wizard and now the Grand Calibur). I have to say I am not at all surprised by the response you received to the announcement of your new Peg Bow Maker. It’s a wonderful idea and we all appreciate what you’ve done and continue to do – share your wonderful talent with us and at no charge. I have placed my order and look forward to receiving it. Your cards inspire me and so many others, so please know that we do appreciate what you do. I admit my curiosity is rampant about your other idea, so I will look forward to more information about that.ReplyCancel

    Becca, will be anxiously awaiting your new tool, I’m sure it’s brilliant…whatever it may be. I thought that the floral oval die would need to go on my list when I saw it…but now having seen what you did with it, yup, sigh, it has to go on the list. What I really need to do is win the lottery to feed my Spellbinders and ribbon addictions! (probably work better if I ever bought a ticket! lol) This is a gorgeous card, blue and cream is a favorite color combo. God has blessed you with a marvelous talent, take it and run with it!

The beauty and love in your heart come through in every project you make. I look forward to your posts not just because I want to see a lovely project, but because I feel some of the love you put in it.

    Becca you are such a sweet person-the kind that anyone would (and should) have as a friend. Your spirituality justs jumps out of the pages when I read your blogs.

    Becca,
    This is a stunning card today, but you are so naughty teasing us, especially me, with those Morrocan Accent dies as I am totalling longing for them, they are gorgeous. Also I think the way you have offset the ovals one on top of the other is lovely and they creates a lacy backdrop for the Twisted Metal diecut.
    The shade of blue you have used here is beautiful, could you tell me the Bazzill shade name please?
    All the best LindaReplyCancel

  • ANN ROBBINSFebruary 1, 2012 - 10:38 pm

    Oh My God, this is georgous. I just got the Grand Calibur two weeks ago on sale at JoAnn’s for $77 plus 30% off the following week on anything even sale items. I went crazy of course as Spellbinder dies were on sale for 30% off, mostly $14.99 less an additional 30% off. I spent $96. Of course, I went home and did the organizational thing with the cd boxes and magnets. The only thing I didn’t do was the labels. I did cut out the cover to show what is in the box so it turned out pretty well. The first of the year I did a big clean up campaign to get all my “stuff” organized. It took two army lockers and I still have a huge plastic tote full of paper. I haven’t started on my car’s trunk but all the stamps are in one box, punches in another, etc. etc. I keep them in the car so when I go to a crop, I have everything anyone there might want or need to use and it’s all in one place. Only bring in what is requested but it is there if needed.ReplyCancel

Hi there blog friends!  I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.  If you ask me, it’s glorious! ! I’ve been holed up inside for the longest time.  This week has been a breath of fresh air to have gotten outside a bit.   I have a new card to share today and again, I think it’s unlike my normal card du jour!   It contains a sneak peek of a new sentiment that will be fully revealed in the Our Daily Bread Designs blog hop on February 1st.  I kept the design simple and did not want to cover the beautiful features of the design paper.  So embossing, rather than cutting, with the die template seemed like my best option.  I used the Our Daily Bread Designs Grunge Cross die cut; it leaves the faint outline of a cross underneath the stamped sentiment.  


It’s a very subtle effect and can be seen much better in real life.  I was able to tilt the card to get a good enough picture for you to see the outline.    I love the effect and it didn’t cover that wonderful design paper.  I finished off with a stacked tiered bow (with no tails) at the bottom of the card.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – The Sea
Paper: Recollections, Hot Off the Press, Bazzill
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories: Our Daily Bread Designs – Cross Die Template, EK Success Border Punch, Prima Bling, Satin Ribbon

Hugs to you all, I’ll be back tomorrow!!

  • Jean HempelJanuary 28, 2012 - 4:28 pm

    Oh Becca, I love this card and the sentiment is so beautiful and can’t wait to see the whole line.. this new line you have gotten us into I think, is going to be a money breaker.. but it is well worth it.. once we get the stampers we ought to be okay and the sentiments will come slowly.. so many in one package so well worth it and know we can count on you if we have a problem… my problem is I would love to try to incorporate Tilda in one every so often.. Will try to play with that… Probably the birthday ones and the friendship ones… So glad you are you and do the great job you do.. Just love you and am so proud to know you.. Have a great day!!

    Hi: The comments about the bow maker are so numerous that it’s coming across as jumbled on my screen so I want you to know what I posted. Suzanne Runyeon is really the main host on HSN for crafts. I put on her facebook that she needed to look at your work and at the bow maker….she actually got back with me yesterday and said she was having the HSN buyer check it out at CHA….don’t be surprised if you are on TV one of these days….every since QVC gave up on scrapbooking, crafts and sewing, HSN has been the channel that sells a lot of crafting supplies.ReplyCancel

Sweet friends, how are you today?  I’ve been musing about how truly rewarding it is to have hands busy and immersed in creating something. Some of you echo the same sentiment in your emails to me…  It was only several years ago that things were so busy that I never had time to craft.  I traveled much and managed to throw a little bit of knitting or crochet in my bag to take along with me but it was all I could do to get through a days work then fall into bed.  I’m grateful, so very grateful.  We all have things we have to do, I hope you find a moment in your day to relax and create!  I do have a card to share today – it uses one of the new Spellbinders die templates that is sure to become one of my favorites.  It’s called Spellbinders S5-083 Antique Frame and it has been floating to the top of the pile on my work bench.  Best for me to use it so that I can set my eyes on some of the others I want to touch!


I cut my thick frame using Spellbinders Classic Squares LG and Classic Squares SM then seated the frame from Spellbinders S5-083 Antique Frame over top.  The frame in this set is so elegant it just begged for a cameo to go inside so I selected a Waltzingmouse Stamps set called Cameo to Go.  Then I attached a sweet little tag — perfectly sized — using Spellbinders S5-089 Home Sweet Home.  Up in the right hand corner I tucked the super elegant element from Spellbinders Twisted Metal Tags and Accents.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps:  Waltzingmouse Stamps – Cameo to Go
Paper: DCWV, Bazzill
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
Accessories: Spellbinders Twisted Metal Tags and Accents, Spellbinders Classic Squares LG, Spellbinders Classic Squares SM, Spellbinders S5-083 Antique Frame, Spellbinders S5-089 Home Sweet Home, seam binding, Bead Landing bead, Recollections pearls.

Thanks for stopping by!  You all are the best!!

    The moment I saw this card today a great big smile crossed my face as if you took my comment right to heart! Those contrasting colors of black and white just grab me every time. This card is just so classy. I, too, can’t wait to get my hands on some of those new dies. I will be so glad when they are released. Absolutely lovely card!ReplyCancel

  • ChinnuJanuary 25, 2012 - 8:57 am

    Very elegant! I love the corner treatment with the Spellbinders element. How do you find such pretty embellishment (e.g. the metal bead)? I never see “the possibilities” of all these items the way you do. Thank you for sharing your ideas and your talent!ReplyCancel

  • LaurenJanuary 25, 2012 - 11:38 am

    Becca, Oh my gosh…..black and white, pewter and mauve…..just too wonderful. Wish I had the money to shop for these items to construct a card such as this. In the old days I could, so I love looking at what is available now so that I could emulate your genius.
    Hugs,

    Hi Becca,
    This could easily be a photo frame to adorn a favourite picture of a loved one and any lady out there would feel priviledged to own it.
    This is a perfect example of how to create something stylish with panache. Clever you.
    All the best LindaReplyCancel

  • Sandra PolencheckJanuary 25, 2012 - 11:45 pm

    Rachel Brooks and Fran L have expressed my sentiments… exactly!
    How do you keep track of all of the many Spellbinders dies you have?
    You use many of them together- I was having trouble remembering what I had, but today, I used sticky-backed magnetic strips on the back side of my cabinet doors and mounted all of the dies I have .. right where I can see all of them at once. Your cards are so inspiring. Thank you,ReplyCancel

    At the risk of sounding like a broken record, this is a gorgeous card. I love the black and pink, and the little touches like the button (or is it something else?) in the middle of your bow, the frame, and the Twisted Metal Tags & Accents scroll in the upper right corner.ReplyCancel

  • JoannJanuary 26, 2012 - 4:00 am

    Becca this is just so elegant and beautiful! But then again all your cards always are!!! I do have a question for you though… in this particular card, can you tell me what sizes your layers of paper are? I think they are so wonderfully layered just showing a tiny bit of the back layer. I always wanted to know how people cut their layers to get that perfect tiny edge…would you mind sharing with me? Thanks so much!ReplyCancel

    My new craft project today, was learning to make Becca Bows. I have made 3 of them so far. I didn’t have a bow maker so I had to jab 2 pencils into the top and out the bottem of a stiff box and hold it in my laps. It will have to do till my husband can make me something better,ReplyCancel

  • Carol RJanuary 26, 2012 - 8:25 pm

    This is such an elegant looking card. I love the black antique frame you made for the silhouette. Lovely!ReplyCancel

  • Marcie SmithJanuary 27, 2012 - 3:06 am

    What a stunner !!!!!!!! So Beautiful Becca. This frame die must be one of the releases that they have been saving for CHA. Didn’t see it in Abilities and Beyond or it would have been on pre-order by now. I love how you have framed the cameo on that oh so gorgeous blk/wht damask paper. Enjoy your trip, we are having some wonderful weather thru this weekend. It has been in the mid 80’s most of the week, but will be cooling down some next week.
