Top of the morning!  Yesterday quite a few of you asked me to develop a tutorial to show you how to do the white flower that was on my pocket card.  I was only too happy to oblige so I cooked up a new card with the same flower as a sample to use during the tutorial.  For the round base of the flower I used Spellbinders Big Scalloped Circles LG and attached Spellbinders Nested Leaves, both are embossed with Spellbinders Floral and Stone Impressabilities.   The flower itself is made with a border punch!!  Then along the bottom I used Spellbinders Banner Basics One and Spellbinders Banner Basic Three for a little bit of whimsy and to show my tiny sentiment.


The video to show you how I made it is here:

OMGoodness, YouTube was having a little tantrum today.  It kept kicking me out or was telling me my little 5 minute video would take 6 hours to upload.  It’s behaving itself now, I’ve been trying to get this up for hours but thankfully it’s finally up.  Enjoy.  I’ll see you soon!!  By the way, the name of the EK Success Border Punch is Chinese Knot Chain.

    Hi Becca,
    I love the ruffled flower. On the first card you showed us with this flower it had pink backing petals that looked like you had stamped a design in white. Is that stamped or is that the paper? I would love to know how you did that also. Are the pink petals a die cut or a punch or what. Please share how you did the pink petals.
    Just love your work.
    Thanks so much for sharing your talent with all of us.

    You must be the fastest ‘scorer and accordion folder’ south of the 49th parallel. Kidding. Seriously though, I just love the card and the ruffled flower tutorial. It can be dressy or casual depending on what you attach in the middle. A very helpful flower to have in one’s repertoire. You somehow manage to keep coming up with new design elements that make your blog the coolest, freshest one around. Thank you again for all you do.ReplyCancel

    Lovely! However I’m afraid of it getting crushed in the mail. I found a medallion on You Tube that was hot glued to a one inch punched circle, so that’s what I did with my medallions and hot glued a button on top. Made it so much easier putting it together.ReplyCancel


Hi there blog friends!! I had a quiet but wonderful Easter and hope you did too!! I decided to start my mojo this week by jumping in on the Mojo Monday 188 sketch. I love the sketch – there’s usually a round element and it lends itself well to pearls, so what a way for a gal to indulge, right?!?  I picked out some the Girls Paperie paper that I’ve been raving about for the last several weeks, you know I’m determined not to hoard it.  So far it looks like I’m breaking the horrible cycle, lol!!  I used  it along with some paper from the Paper Company for an easy to put together card that’s feels a little bit shabby.  I often feel like I’m getting into a rut, so this is a nice morning stretch.  How about you?  Do you feel you need to stretch to keep from doing the same thing?


I think my favorite part of the card is the underlying doily!!  It’s made with two of the Spellbinders Lotus Pendants and then I layered it with Spellbinders Floral Doily Motifs and Spellbinders Standard Circles LG.  There’s another punch of red on the right hand side of the card with Spellbinders Floral Doily Accents.  I pulled out my tiniest pearls today and I think it gives the card a little bit of sparkle.  I ran a border punch along the bottom of my card today, just to break up the pace of what I normally do.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Studio G
Paper:  The Girls Paperie
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, Antique Linen Distress Ink
Accessories:
Spellbinders Lotus Pendants, Spellbinders Floral Doily Motifs, Spellbinders Standard Circles LG. Spellbinders Floral Doily Accents, Prima Flowers, Recollections Pearls, Button, Seam Binding, Martha Stewart Blossom Eyelets Border Punch

Well that’s all for me today friends!!  Here’s to hoping your week is spectacular and that you break outside your routine and stretch!!

    Hey Becca, I love this card. I’m partial to anything red, so this makes me happy! I love the layers. And the pearls. Funny I always love your pearls, and yet I never think to pull mine out! I’ve got a big divided box with every size pearl there is…I think. And because my space isn’t well enough organized, they are stuck away, so I don’t think of them. But I’m working on really organizing so hopefully I’ll have them out where I can see them soon. Thanks for sharing.

  • Jan D.April 25, 2011 - 12:37 pm

    I love this card and the lotus Spellbinder is one of my favorites. If you have trouble getting the cardstock out of the die, put a piece of wax paper between the cs and the die before running it through your die cutter. I love this die, but was about to send it to retirement since it was so difficult to get the cut cs out without tearing it up….then I learned about the wax paper trick….I now use it on all my detailed dies.

    Love all your art…tfs.ReplyCancel

Sweet Friends!  Happy Easter!  He is Risen!  My best wishes to you and your loved ones as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord!


I spent a blissful yesterday amongst sweet friends at a wonderful stamping meeting.  I have the blessed fortune of being in a club of wonderful women who have gathered each month for over nine years.  My precious friend Nancy is a CTMH representative and she emails us and tells us how many pieces of paper to bring and then we show up and get busy while we have no idea what we are making.  You can’t know how rewarding it is to show up and be the student.  Yesterday, Nancy sat us down with a paper cutter and called out sizes for us to cut and this is what we ended up with.  Can you believe it???  As she would say, and I wholeheartedly agree, this is stinkin’ cute!!  What an appropriate gift for a little one today.  It contains just enough chocolate to remind you of how much you like it but not as much as a diabetic Easter Basket, lol!!


This little box holds two Ghirardelli bars and eight chocolate nuggets.  Unfortunately I don’t have instructions to pass along because I didn’t design it, but I could not resist sharing it.  I’ll certainly add it to my repertoire for gift giving time.   The papers I pulled were Colorbok, Flea Market and some Bazzill Paper.  I don’t always make the right choice when I’m working blind on a project, but this time I think I got it right.



Have a wonderful Easter!  Blessings!!

This gift, so freely given but ignored by too many…what a forfeit for a worldly life.”I serve a risen Savior; He’s in the world to day, I know that He is living, no matter what men may say… He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today…He walks with me and talks with me, along life’s narrow way, He lives, He lives; salavation to impart. You ask me how I know He lives…He lives within my heart.

Thank you for sharing your tutorial on the wooden bow maker, I had my husband make me one too. I had a retail rubber stamp store for 7 years and closed it 11 years ago. Through lifes changes I had’nt been stamping again until the past 6 months. I felt truly inspired by looking at your postings of your cards and comments. Keep on doing what you do you are reaching out to others. Your latest posting of the pink little box is so precious. If you or your friend would share the how to on this let me know. I would even pay for the pattern and instructions. How much fun you ladies must have had that day creating those little boxes! Warmly, Cindy DurganReplyCancel

    I think you chose perfect on this project! Maybe you could convince your friend to pass along all the measurements and directions – or if she has a blog to post it and we could check out her site for instructions? If this happens I would definitely like to know because I love the container and would like to try making one. I hope you have had a wonderful Easter.ReplyCancel

  • PattiApril 24, 2011 - 8:53 pm

    This project looks very similar to a project posted on my blog on Jan. 28, 2010 called the Candy carrying Case. I do have detailed instructions for the project if anyone is interested. I like the paper used to make this one along with the fabulous flower, too!!! And, of course, if Becca made it – it’s always fabulous!!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Love it!!!!
