Hi there, while I’m making a little gift this morning I thought I would share this half cut technique (I also call it partial cutting) that many of you have asked how I accomplished. It’s easy and the bag can be made in less than an hour.  My bag is larger than 6″ but this is a scalable technique, so you can use it with both larger and smaller die templates.   Have a look at my video to see how!


Add your favorite flower, learn how to make the matching center with the Becca Bit called Frugal Decorative Pearl Flower Center.


My flower measures roughly three inches in diameter so I needed to make a bigger bow to extend beyond the edges. I pulled out my trusty peg bow maker and made a triple layer 4″ peg bow. 

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: None
Paper: K & Company
Ink: None
Accessories: Spellbinders Grand Labels One, Spellbinders Grand Circles, Spellbinders Foliage

ETA:  The strip of paper that I use in the video is 3″ x 12″ but feel free to alter the depth depending on how big of an item you need your bag to accommodate!

Hope you are having a fabulous day!!!  Thanks for stopping by!!!

Really!!  It honestly doesn’t get any easier than this, lol!  I have less than an hour invested in this card but I’m pleased as punch.  You see, one of my Quietfire Design team mates is hosting a challenge over on Two Peas and I was fretting about whether I would have time enough to enter.  So, I’m checking it off my list :-)  I absolutely love this sentiment!!  No telling why I went with the red and white other than I love them and to me it makes the card jump out at you.
By the way, if you have some sweet sentiments you’d like to show off, head on over here to check out the rules for this ultra simple challenge in the Winterfest 2011 and give it a whirl!!

I’m under the gun to get some cards out in the mail, so I’ve decided that this will be the format for my mailing, er..um..minus the gems, lol!  I love it when a plan comes together.  Speaking of plan, I hope yours includes some me time or craft time!!

HOW IT’S MADE

1. Make Card Base – mine is 5″ x 6.5″
2. Cut paper 4.25″ x 5.5″ and emboss.
3. Stamp sentiment and adhere to a slightly larger mat with foam tape.
4. Tie Ribbon, adhere focal panel to base using foam tape.
5. Adhere a gem to each embossed line intersection. (80) and 1 pearl at center.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: Quietfire Design – To Create Is to Touch
Paper: Strathmore Acrylic
Ink: Colorbox Pigment Ink – Cranberry
Accessories:  Satin Ribbon, Pearl, Ruby Gems, Clear Embossing Powder. Sizzix Embossing Plate – Thank You Set #5

Be sweet and enjoy your day!!

    I enjoy the card fronts. My problem is with what to do with the inside many times. The front of the cards are so wonderful, I feel like the inside is lame.

    Could you show examples of the inside of the cards?

    Thanks.ReplyCancel

Hi there blog friends.  Don’t forget to have a look along my righthand sidebar and weigh in on your frugal tips under 31 Days to a Frugal Papercrafter.  For today’s card I went with soft, soothing classic colors.  The paper I was using is almost like a toile so I brought in some other classic elements like the Spellbinders Lacey Ovals.  I think it goes perfectly with this new sentiment from Quietfire Design called If We Knew Each Other’s Secrets.   I wondered if I could fashion some of the roll flowers out of an oval and yep, the lacey ovals worked just fine.  I simply cut a spiral inside and discarded most of the middle once I ran out of scallops.  I like them – it’s easy to bend down the loops to make offset petals.


I layered two lacey circles together for the look I’m getting here – they were just offset a little.  I also cut the centers out with Spellbinders Classic Ovals LG.  I didn’t want to pull another color in so I simply went with cream colored leaves using Spellbinders Foliage.  The sweet little border at the bottom (perfect size) was made from Spellbinders Banner Basics Two.  Loving that paper – I just can’t get enough of the K and Company Julianna collection from which I pulled all but my card base and the solid cream layer.

Supplies I Used
Stamps: Quietfire Design – If We Knew Each Others Secrets
Paper: K&Co, The Paper Company
Ink: Colorbox Chalk Ink – Prussian Blue
Accessories: Spellbinders Lacey Ovals, Spellbinders Classic Ovals LG, Spellbinders Foliage, Spellbinders Banner Basics Two, Ribbon, Pearls

Thanks for every click that get’s you here.  I made it brief today because sometimes I get looooong winded :-)  Be blessed, friends!!

    So elegant …the colors are working so well with the other elements. How clever of you to create the flowers from the spellbinder ovals. What an artist! And you are NEVER longwinded. I enjoy reading your post. Makes me feel as though I ‘know you’. Thanks for sharing.ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca!!

    I’ve missed being able to comment on here lately! Our computer CRASHED!!! :/ I’ve OBSERVED…. with my daughters computer, unable to leave a comment! :( Here we are with a “new” computer & SO FAR, UNABLE to leave a comment!!! I just keep trying!!!! I’ve LOVED ALL your creations while I’ve been MIA!!! :)

    For my “frugal” comment: Buy a tool that you’ve been putting off…. Something that you can use on MOST EVERYTHING! My Example? The Scor-Buddy/Pal! With EVERYCARD I use it! I look forward to pulling that thing out! AND it makes my crafting easier!!! :)ReplyCancel

    Hey Becca, as always you’ve outdone yourself! I love those papers too. And how creative of you to consider making flowers from that scallop…they turned out beautifully. I’ve been trying to figure out how to add some understated elegance to me daughter’s 29th birthday card. I think those roses are just what I need. Thanks again, Becca, for an incredible creation. Blessings to you, Girlfriend!ReplyCancel

    As soon as I saw the flowers I knew you had made them using the same scalloped oval that framed your sentiment. They are so great!! Lovely card!ReplyCancel

    You are never long winded for me – I love to read how and why you did something on a card, what is your favorite paper at the moment, where you purchased some of your ‘stuff’…..just makes you so ‘human’. That sounded strange, so I guess I mean when you share with us, I feel that you’re one of us – you’re much more creative, but one of us.

    This care is womderful and I love your technique of making the ‘flowers’. Great idea!

    Oh, I so love the color combo and the ovals. Wow wee I love the flowers made from the oval as well as the layered look. You are one creative woman of God.
    Be blessed !ReplyCancel

  • Dianna N.March 3, 2011 - 9:55 pm

    Hi Becca,
    I think you must have been a professional paper engineer once upon a time! You have an amazing ability to shape, and layer paper in so many fantastic ways! When I try to create a card, either my colors don’t look right, or my layers are working against each other! After an hour or two, I usually end up putting everything in the scrap bin to use on something else. But I keep trying!
    Thank you sooooooo much for sharing your creations!

    vey pretty. Soft

    Interesting. I tried doing one of these type flowers the other day with a scalloped lace die and didn’t like the results. It’s still on my desk, so I keep looking at it. Yours turned out beautiful. I guess I need to go back to the drawing board. BIG GRINReplyCancel
