Hi there blog friends!!!  We are still in the middle of the blog hop and prizes for Our Daily Bread Designs.  If you are interested in entering, you have until 8pm EST tonight and you have to scroll down to my post dated March 17th, titled “Our Daily Bread Designs – 3rd Anniversary Celebration” and leave your comment there.   I encourage you to sign up!  These are premium stamp sets, and just because of the variety, they get a lot of mileage. 

Okay, so on to my card for today.  (Whisper. . . it’s a masculine one!!)  A rarity for me, I was working with these colors earlier in the week, so I thought I’d go with a manly card today.  It is a very welcome addition to my stash!  I’m using two new sets from Our Daily Bread Designs – the crosses and sentiment are from the set called He Will Rise and the stamped background that was cut with Spellbinders Labels Seventeen is called Fancy Labels.  In addition I’m using Spellbinders Labels Ten, Spellbinders Grand Ovals and Spellbinders Ribbon Banners. 


SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs – He Will Rise, Fancy Labels
Ink: Distress Inks
Accessories: Spellbinders Labels Seventeen, Spellbinders Labels Ten, Spellbinders Ribbon Banners, Spellbinders Grand Ovals, Ribbon

Thanks for stopping in today!!  Check back in the afternoon to see if you are crooner that won the Prima paper :-)

    Always such beautiful layering on your cards Becca and this one is no exception……..love the gorgeous bow too.ReplyCancel

  • Sheila - UKMarch 18, 2011 - 4:12 am

    Another beautiful card Becca and the colours are so subtle….they go great together and seem just right for the sentiment…your bow always adds the finishing touches to your card and I have now sourced somewhere here in the UK where I can buy the May arts pure silk ribbon which I love. You never cease to amaze me with your wonderful works of art.

    Love Sheila xxReplyCancel

A dear friend of ours, Kellie Fortin with JustRite Stampers is having a birthday today.   The design team pulled together a hop to show our appreciation for all her hard work and to show off some JustRite birthday goodness.  Big hugs Kellie, and Happy Birthday!!!!  For my card today I made what I’m calling a Peek-A-Boo Card.  It essentially has two insides.

The card is constructed using Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Squares.  I simply ran my folded paper through using this die template making sure that the fold was 1/8″ on the inside of the template so that the folded edge is not cut.  Then I made a flap using Spellbinders Grand Labels Four.  I folded it in half and glued it on only the backside.  I glued Spellbinders Lotus Pendant on the inside edge so that it peeks from the bottom edge like a doily.


This is the first inside layer with the sentiment  When you lift the first flap you see a panel made using JustRite Kindness Cling Set which matches Spellbinders Labels Twenty.  I hand cut the oval and popped it up, stamping Happy Birthday from JustRite Elegant Frames Set.


This is the second flap (inside of the card).  I simply set a square panel to write a sentiment on.  I used Zva Creative Pearls on top of two of the flaps.  Lastly the bow is a new bow that I’ll have a tutorial on very soon, keep checking back for that!

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: JustRite Kindness Cling Set, JustRite Elegant Frames
Paper: K and Company, The Paper Company, Bazzill
Ink: Memento Black Tuxedo, green dye based ink
Accessories: Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Squares, Spellbinders Grand Labels Four, Spellbinders Lotus Pendant, Spellbinders Labels Twenty,  Zva Creative Pearls, Ribbon

Be sure to stop in and see what the other design team members have whipped up to celebrate Kellie’s birthday.  You can see them here:

Angela Barkhouse
Barb Schram
Becca Feeken – You’re Here
Heidi Blankenship
Kathy Jones
Kazan Clark
Michele Kovack
Sankari Wegman
Sharon Harnist

Again, Happy Birthday Kellie!!  Thanks for stopping by blog friends, I’ll see you soon!!

Okay, so I’m totally intrigued with the poll thing.  It was torture waiting all week to put up a new one, LOL!!  I’m finding the program that I’m using has some glitches or I’m not quite used to it, so I’m flying by the seat of my pants on this one.   I’m sending out a notice because unless you look closely, you probably wouldn’t know that a new poll is up.  Come on by and add your vote. Don’t forget, if there is a poll you’d like to see about crafting, (and it doesn’t necessarily have to be about Amazing Paper Grace) email me — I received some really fab suggestions this week and am adding them to my list). 

I’ll be back with a card in the morning :-)

  • Christy HawkinsMarch 14, 2011 - 6:18 am

    Ditto, ditto…everyone loves everything you do! I like that you are a real stamper…not a lot of computer generated stuff or stickers,etc. I love to use my stamps in artistic ways, and you are wonderful to COPY!! I especially love the way you make the sentiment the focal point of a card. The Becca Bits are, like you, amazing! I headed out to Hobby Lobby to get one of those quilling tools so I can make those little flowers with the Spellbinders. My only problem is that no matter how many times I try to imitate your bow method, mine still don’t look like yours! That’s okay. I did like your tricky little tool with the dowels. Excellent idea for the less digitally gifted.
    Thanks for making my day more fun every time I see the “Feedblitz” in my mail box!ReplyCancel

How about a poll where you give us some of your clever (& I know you have a ton) ways to save money & still create a beautiful card, 3D, other craft item. Sometimes it can be a shock when one realizes how much money it can cost for our craft. Besides coupon’s what are your best tricks & clever secrets.

    I really like everything you do. Actually, I had three choices this week, pretty much equal, so that brought it back to “not a factor”. Mixing it up would be nice. Keeps things interesting.ReplyCancel

    Answering this poll was difficult. I ticked off “Classic and Elegant”, but I would have selected “All of the above” if that were a choice. Every card you make has a new fresh dimension and I learn and love them all! Please just keep doing what you do. It’s so appreciated.ReplyCancel

    Good morning Ms. Feeken,
    I am a great fan of yours and check out your blog regularly. I voted today but I wish I could have picked out more than one option. I went with the ‘Holtzy’ but also wanted to add the CAS and the Classy. Thank you for all the inspiration you provide. When I grow up, I want to be just like you! teehee. If you are adding on to your poll, how about inquiring about favorite ‘go to toys’?

    As always I love the beauty and elegance of your cards and crafts. I am seeing that that beauty and elegance is a reflection of you!!! Thank you for being willing to share with us. I’m slowly, but surely adding to my Spellbinders collection and thanks to you, I’ve made some nice cards. Thanks again for what you are doing to inspire us all.ReplyCancel

    Dear Becca
    Your cards and style are just magical — you inspire me all the time.
    I just LOVE your blog and cant wait to see what new ideas you come up with.
    You are so clever with your design and colours which make all your cards so fantastic.
    Wishing you Luck for now and always.

    I love all your cards! Since I am always trying new and different things, the style of the card is not important to me. Since I try to match the style of the card to the person receiving it, I think it is important to learn all the styles! Thank you so much for always sharing your wonderful cards with us. You are truly an inspiration!ReplyCancel

    Love your unique cards. Glad I found your site.ReplyCancel

    Becca, There isn’t a single thing that I skip on your blog….everything is just wonderful! You’re an inspiration in every way and incite my creative juices to
    overflow…thank you. In addition, I do recommend your website to many people; until they have seen Amazing Paper Grace, they haven’t seen anything! Have a great day and thank you so much! CarolReplyCancel

    I, like many others, love everything you do. I get stumped for appropriate words on many cards and I’d love to know how others get there ‘inside words’ except by buying a ton of stamps. Your Christian spirit is a blessing!ReplyCancel

  • JeanMarch 14, 2011 - 11:25 am

    Becca,
    I love all styles of cards therefore I voted for not a factor. I like to try different styles and challenge myself as a work in the studio. Therefore, I like seeing all styles of cards when I am looking at your blog.ReplyCancel

  • Linda MayMarch 14, 2011 - 12:37 pm

    Your blog is a treasure trove to cardmakers everywhere. Thanks for the wonderful ideas and for your willingness to make your blog more interactive! I love to see how others feel about various aspects of this hobby through your polls and the 31 days listings, too! My hubby made me a Peg Bow Maker, and it is fantastic. Before this, I rarely used bows on my cards because my fingers didn’t cooperate. Thanks so very much.ReplyCancel

  • EdnaMarch 14, 2011 - 12:50 pm

    I like all the things you make. Especially loved the bow maker pattern and directions on how to use it. My son made one for me and one for my friend and we watched your video several times and have it all figured out and love the way it works. Thanks for sharing. Keep up your wonderful cards and ideas. Would like to see more videos. EdnaReplyCancel

  • RebeccaMarch 14, 2011 - 1:01 pm

    BTW I voted, but there should be an option for more than 1 style lolReplyCancel

  • PennyMarch 14, 2011 - 1:14 pm

    Your creativity and the way you break down each card or project is what I am drawn too. I do however, like CAS and elegant. You make things very easy to replicate with your instructions or at least come close to me making one similar. I know it is time consuming for you to post directions and supplies used, so thank you.ReplyCancel

  • Karen HetheringtonMarch 14, 2011 - 1:32 pm

    I love your blog because it inspires me. I always learn something new! Your cards are perfection!ReplyCancel

  • Pat KinserMarch 14, 2011 - 3:29 pm

    Hello Becca, I checked Classic and Elegant because you are such a classic and elegant person, which shows in your elegant cards, but I come to your site everyday for inspiritation and you have never let me down. Your imagination goes above and beyond. You are a very caring person, seemingly always giving to others so they can enjoy your gift of creation. I am so thankful that you share your talents with fellow crafters and continue to inspire others every day.

  • Linda ClarkMarch 14, 2011 - 4:33 pm

    I chose Classic and Elegant because…. it would not let me check them all. For me, going to my email and finding I have a new email from you, it just makes my day. Your talent, is without a doubt, the best I have ever seen. Your entire site is great just to explore and read all your tidbits of information. You descriptions and directions are easily understood. Your site has to be my favorite. Thank You for sharing your talents and your thoughts. We all love reading your site. Thanks, LindaReplyCancel

  • JoanieMarch 14, 2011 - 6:16 pm

  • nanabekkiMarch 15, 2011 - 10:06 am

    I’d like to know see a poll on how people store rubberstamps that are still on wood blocks…I know a lot of people have converted theirs to not be that way anymore…but for those of us who have NOT made the switch…face up? or face down? or stand up on wooden edge? in plastic box? on a shelf? or what?…also, how long to you hold on to a stamp? eventually they do wear out…right? or the rubber goes bad? been stamping for years off and on…but a lot in the past year or so…Thanks so much for all of your ideas and tutorials…ReplyCancel

  • Kelli bMarch 16, 2011 - 12:40 pm

    Hi Becca- I can’t see your poll, but I’d also like to know how people store their wooden block stamps. Thank you for your endless creativity and projects, you are such an inspiration.ReplyCancel
