Hi there blog friends!! I just love it when I have something for you to take a peek of.   This week we have new Our Daily Bread Design images that are scheduled for release on July 1 but I’m allowed to show one of them to you!!    I had quite the dilemma when I picked this image — my mojo said distress and my heart said don’t distress.   See, I’ve had that all week!   Mojo won and I’ll do another non-distressed version of this after July 1.   This is hands down the best flag image I have out of about four flag background stamps.    Why?   This one is the easiest to color.    I simply took three markers – a blue, a grey and a red and took my time covering the stamp.   Since it’s already shaded and distressed I didn’t have to do anything else.   I spritzed on some water then stamped on my kraft cardstock.   Easy, easy, easy!!    It doesn’t always have to be easy but I want to send more cards off to the troops and this one will work out quite nicely.


I’m actually showing parts of two different sets here.  The Flag Background is one and the big words belong to another – the two words I selected just seemed to fit perfect along the end of the card.  I know I’m covering up the stars and the detail on the left side, but trust me – you’ll see this background again.  I love patriotic stamps and have figured out that there are many more occasions to use them than just July 4th.  In this day and age, I bet you know what I mean :-)

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – Flag Background, Big Words
Paper: My Minds Eye, Bazzill
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, Vintage Photo Distress Ink, Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink
Accessories: Memento Markers, Seam Binding, Pearl Picks, Recollections Pearls, Lace, Silk Flower

Take care and have a wonderful, wonderful weekend!!

Well I can check lots off of my “rarely” and “never” lists.  It seems that those lists are getting a work out these days.  Seriously though, I don’t know why I do what I do in cardmaking but to occasionally take something I rarely or never do, and do it . . . is a little bit liberating.  You must try it!  I only had a moment to spend to put a card together, and really, I found myself both tired and brain dead.  I spied a pretty set of stickers that I purchased.  I “never” use stickers on cards.  I don’t know why but I always feel like it’s cheating.  Well never was sent packing on that one, I used a sticker on my card tonight and I think I’ll have to do that again . . . heee!  I backed the sticker with Spellbinders Labels Ten and Spellbinders Lotus Pendant and shaped the side of the card with Spellbinders Jumbo Scalloped Border Petite.


I may have made one other side fold card in about the last three years.  Does that qualify for rarely?  Here again, I have no idea why but it seems kind of silly.  I’ll do this again.  Maybe it’s habit.  Oh here’s my other rarely – when I take pictures, I rarely take less than 15; tonight I took two and used them both in my post. 

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: None
Paper: K&Company
Ink: None
Accessories: Seam Binding, Pearls, Bazzill Button, Spellbinders Labels Ten, Spellbinders Lotus Pendant, Spellbinders Jumbo Scalloped Border Petite, Lace

Are there crafting things you rarely or never do?  Use them as an excellent opportunity to get a leg up to get out of a rut!!  By the way, there is a fabulous sale going on over at the JustRite Stampers site (I jumped in and did my shopping yesterday).  In a nutshell, they are clearancing out their inkpad and markers (not Copic), in order to make room for more Spellbinders – some items are 30% to 50% off!  (While supplies last :-))  Thats all for me today, thanks for stopping in and I’ll see you soon!!

  • auntie emJune 21, 2011 - 5:04 am

    Your card is so pretty! I LOVE my stickers, even though they have gotten a bad rep the last few years. They have managed to inspire me, fill in that gap and finish a project off with just the right little touch so many times. We buy them because something about them draws us in or we wouldn’t have them in the first place so why not add them to our projects and cards. And when I have some that may not fit on a card or LO they get stuck on an envelope or parcel I am sending. (The postal workers love it when I bring a parcel in!)
    Thanks for sharing! :)ReplyCancel

  • auntie emJune 21, 2011 - 5:12 am

    Your card is so pretty Becca! I love the embellishments you added.
    I know stickers have received a bad rep the last few years but I love my stickers. Why else would we be drawn to these pretty, easy to use embellishments if we didn’t like them in the first place? They have helped me finish off many a project, fill in a small gap that was giving me problems or add an extra little touch. And those odd stickers that are always left on a sheet, I add them to an envelope, the top of a letter or note to a friend or on the outside of a parcel when I mail it. They can make quick and pretty gift tags and bookmarks as well when stuck on that little scrap of cardstock left over and then tucked inside a card or book for a gift. And if they really don’t work on anything I am doing, I pass them on to another scrapper or a child who loves stickers! Everyone is happy!
    Thanks for sharing! :)ReplyCancel

    Beautiful card. The sticker was not a bad thing for this card. Love your honesty. Sometimes you just need to do a quick card. Thanks for sharing.ReplyCancel

  • JoJoJune 21, 2011 - 6:05 am

    Never say, “Never”, huh? Having a stamp store for 11 years, I, too, said I would never use stickers. I thought they looked fake compared to the stamped and colored images. I’ve started using them, now, on cards for children. It gets to be a challenge to find just the right image to suit each child. I started buying stickers when the “themed” birthday parties started. I have 11 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. That makes for a large variety of ages and interests! You were brave to use one on that beautiful card, but everything you do looks great!
    Have a blessed day!ReplyCancel

  • lois skiathitisJune 21, 2011 - 6:10 am

    Becca, if you didn’t tell us that you used a sticker I would have never known. They make some wonderful stickers these days. Your card has a fabulous look to it today you used colors that I have never used together before and to my surprise it works. I love the use of the lace which softens the look. I also like that you are using stick pins in your art. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-DReplyCancel

    The quality of stickers seems to have cranked up quite a few notches since I last looked at them Never in my life would I have guessed this was a sticker. It’s a positively charming card; love the pink/gold; ribbon and lace treatment of course, even the sticker is first class.ReplyCancel

    I am not one to like using stickers on my crafting either – I agree with you that it feels like I’m cheating and some of them are so shiny that it just doesn’t appeal to me. But this card creation is so very lovely. I might have to pull out that “give away” pile of stickers and go through them one more time to see if there are any usable sentiments!ReplyCancel

  • Marlena M.June 21, 2011 - 7:59 am

    Becca, what fun to know that you don’t use stickers because you feel like you are “cheating”. I am exactly the same way… always feeling like guilty if I use a sticker or background paper that I haven’t done something to in order for it to be my own.

    We are good at guilt…you know.
    You give me courage to do something quick and easy and looks great too!!!

    Hey Becca, I agree… I never use stickers either, for the same reason! Your sticker is lovely. And I think we must be drinking the same water or something, because I made a card for my grandson Joseph the other day, and I used a sentiment on a vellum sticker! First time in maybe a year! Shame to let all the lovely stickers marking time in their little folder!

    Becca, your card is lovely. In regard to stickers, I didn’t used to use them either, however, there are some beautifully cut gold (or metallic) stickers available these days, (yours is a good example0 that, in my opinion, add just the right elegance to a card, whether it be a delicate line, a lacey corner, or even an intricatly cut chain or tiny butterfly. The cards I enjoy making lean more toward a Victorian style. I even use some of the tiny “waste” middle pieces, for instance the inside of the links in chains, for just a dot of bling on the tips of punched borders. (Like where you might add a flat backed pearl or gem). There is no extra postage charged for bling from a gilded sticker, and I for one am not ashamed to use them!ReplyCancel

Good morning sweet friends!!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  I’m looking forward to plowing into this week and as usual jumpstarted it by doing the Mojo Monday sketch – Mojo 196.   I don’t get too complicated with it and try to use items that are already stamped out but didn’t work for another card.   This Emily Dickinson quote from Serendipity Stamps is one of my very favorites and I have used it many, many times over the years.  Since I had already stamped it out and cut it using Spellbinders Labels Fourteen, it was ready to go and only needed a card base.

I had to flip the sketch over to make it work for me, but that’s what sketches are for, right?!  When I thought of the quote I used, I thought that butterflies would work well.  I pulled out a relatively new set, Spellbinders Nested Butterflies Two, and cut two hoping to balance out the left side of the card.  I then added some Zva Creative pearls for my butterflies flight path.   Well I’m off . . . much to do and so little time!!

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Serendipity Stamps – We Never Know, Impression Obsession – Medallion Background Stamp
Paper: The Paper Company, Bazzill
Ink: Colorbox Chalk – Pink Pastel, Versafine Onxy Black
Accessories:  Spellbinders Labels Fourteen, Spellbinders Nested Butterflies Two, Zva Creative Pearls, Seam Binding

Your sweet comments yesterday lifted me and my family, thanks ever so much . . . I really am grateful to have such a wonderful blog family.  Take care :-)

    Simply lovely! Just enough black to make the pink pop! Love the sentiment and the butterflies go with it prefectly. I love how you pay such attention to the little details. This card would have been perfect without the tiny pearls along the bottom but it that much more special with them.

    Becca,

    Your card is so pretty and I think I have everything to make it. Of course, I could do everything just perfectly and it still wouldn’t be as pretty as your cards are.

    I was on vacation last week and it was so fun to look back at the cards you had completed. I’m sure someday, there will be a Scrapbook/Card Hall of Fame – and you’ll be right there in the entry area.

    Blessings,
    KayReplyCancel

    Very beautiful card, Becca! I love the paper, the simplicity, and what a gorgeous border. You put so much into your cards, it must be an honor for anyone who receives one.
