. . . like Christmas.  Yep that’s right.  You have to start somewhere right?

 
Today I’m sharing a cute little Christmas card to get me in the (cardmaking) spirit and thinking about how I’m going to tackle the task of accumulating enough cards for this season.  I didn’t get to send Christmas cards last year because we weren’t home with that unexpected trip – you can just bet this is a little task I will be absolutely savoring this year!!  My card uses one of the new Christmas sets from JustRite Stampers called Whimsical Christmas.  I thought the bird was adorable so I have it perched on Spellbinders Lacey Squares and Spellbinders Lacey Circles, turned on point.  My sentiment, placed on Spellbinders Tags Five comes from the Christmas Nested Sentiments and Verse.  Underneath it all I have a pair of Spellbinders Jumbo Scalloped Petite borders.

These images color up in a jiffy , so in no time flat I have the first card for my batch :-)  JustRite Stampers is releasing a batch of  new Christmas Sets in August including two Christmas Sentiment sets that have all the variety  you’ll need to finish off the insides of your cards or simply hang a tag like I did on my card today.  You can see all the new Christmas sets HERE.

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  JustRite Stampers JB-09795 Whimsical Christmas, JB-09255 Christmas Nested Sentiments and Verse
Paper:  K&Company, The Paper Company – Classic Red, Bazzill Simply Smooth Ivory
Ink:  Adirondack Pitch Black, Colorbox Pigment – Cranberry
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Lacey Circles, Spellbinders™ Lacey Squares, Spellbinders Tags Five, Spellbinders Jumbo Scalloped Petite, Zva Creative Pearls, Ribbon

    Hi Becca~

    This is such a fun Christmas Card! I love how you colored the image. (Thanks for the close up shot!) The thing that really drew my attention was how you layered underneath the image. It is really beautiful!

    Thanks so much for sharing!

    Hello Becca, I just recently found your site & I am so glad I did. Everything you make is just beautiful & you sure do have a lot of talent. How do you come up with your ideas for your cards? I have only been making cards for less than 2 years. I have a terrible time coming up with an idea for the card. Once I get the idea, then it takes me forever on what to decide about the materials that go together. Why is it so hard for me Becca, I really do enjoy making cards.ReplyCancel

Remember, I have blog candy running through Wednesday, August 11th, you can see the post HERE.

 

Hi there!!  I’m almost embarrassed to tell you how long I spent on this card!!  I made it because it was issued as a challenge.  Little did I know how engrossed I would get in the inner workings and mechanics of the T-Slider card, but it had me engaged for a little bit.  Have you made one yet?  The tutorial for it is HERE on Splitcoaststampers.    I did a test card so that I could figure out how every thing flipped and turned and then I decided to modify the pattern to suit the stamps I wanted to show.  The challenge is a monthly Magnolia-licious challenge, and if you’d like to play the details are over on the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog.

 

My card opens vertically, it has the T-Slide mechanism inside, but instead I wanted it to pop up the window for the boutique :-).  This is such an adorable set of stamps.  It is from the new Bon Voyage Collection at Magnolia-licious and on this card I used both #291 Tilda Goes Shopping and #535 Boutique.   Once the vertical stick is pulled the awning goes up, the card falls open and the boutique window raises up.  I thought all that action was a perfect opportunity to make this a gift card holder for one of my shop-a-holic friends.

For the front side of the card I used new Spellbinders Lacey Squares and Labels Fifteen – they go together perfectly!!  Then I hung a cluster of tags using Tags Five.  Tilda and the Boutique window are colored with Copic Markers.  A change of pace for me – those stamps are so cute, no?

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Magnolia-licious – #291 Tilda Goes Shopping and #535 Boutique
Paper:  Dreamy Two – My Minds Eye, Expedx Brilliant Cover 130lbs
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Computer Generated Sentiment
Accessories:  Spellbinders@trade; Lacey Squares, Spellbinders™ Labels Fifteen, Spellbinders™ Tags Five,  Ribbon, Button, Pearls


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

    Becca,
    This card is so cute. I love the Boutique window and the awning effect. I have to admit, I am not a big fan of magnolicious. I know I know everyone is probably thinking I am absolutely crazy, but I just am not a fan. But that aside, I always love how you use these stamps and of course your creativity just blows me away. Did you inherit your creativity? Cause you know – the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I know this is the wrong section of the blog for this, but I just had to throw it in!?!?

    Becca– I love the way you changed the slider! I love the awning and how you re-worked the design. It’s fabulous and as ingenious as you are. I love to see a tutorial on your re-design. Thank you so much for sharing. You truly do have a gift.ReplyCancel

  • DeepaAugust 12, 2010 - 8:30 am

    That is super cute Becca!! Way to go re-engineering that slider card :) I was wondering if that scallop border along the awning piece was made using a punch? I think I might need it ;)ReplyCancel

Hi folks, I’m back home now, ahhhhhh!!   Great trip, great time, great company :-)  I had this card in my stash that I haven’t shared so I thought I would share it now.  It features a great sentiment stamp from Quietfire Design called You are Sunlight to My Heart.    It seemed a shame to try and cover this Cappella  paper by Basic Grey, so I didn’t.  Instead I kept it simple and added some Prima bling and a sheer ribbon.

I’ve finally been able to get back to my craft room and look forward to getting back in the swing of things.  I’ll be back tomorrow with another card.  Thanks so much to the regulars who have been hanging out.  You know I really appreciate it.

Hugs,
Becca

    Gorgeous card Becca, I agree it would be a shame to hide that beautiful paper. I think you embellished the card just right so the paper could shine thru. I love that sentiment. As always Becca, TFS!!! I just wanted to add that it is a pleasure to come here daily, I’m guaranteed a smile and always lots of goodness for the soul. :-DReplyCancel

    Beautiful card. I agree with Barbara. I would like to hear about your experience at CHA. I have to admit to checking each video I see of CHA to try to spot you in the background.ReplyCancel

    Sounds like you had a fantastic trip, Becca, but I don’t know which is more amazing….the beautiful cards you have been showing us OR the fact that you had them already made and didn’t show them before since they have alllll been beautiful!
    Thanks for sharing! :o)ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca,
    Happy to hear you had such a good time at CHA. I am sure it must boggle the mind to see everything there!
    It is my pleasure to come here each day and see your beautiful work – I wouldn’t miss it :o)
    Love this very pretty card. With such lovely paper I can understand not wanting to cover it up. Love the bling though – makes it so elegant, and as always your ribbon is divine.
    I haven’t been leaving messages the past month – as I have been away looking after my mother. But I have never missed looking. I am back home now and hope to stay here for a awhile :o)ReplyCancel

  • DebraJuly 31, 2010 - 12:46 pm

    What a beautiful card! (As always). Glad to hear that you are back home safe and sound and back in your craft room. I saw some of the other comments asking about what you saw and bought at CHA. Can you elaborate on that for your next post? :) (For those of us that don’t get out much…) :)ReplyCancel

    Becca, Becca, no one deserves more to go to CHA than you. I attend the winter show each year, so I feel your joy and over whelming experience. I use to go to the summer one as well but decided I better stay on my side of the equation.
    Thank you Thank you and our Lord Jesus Christ for your talent and desire to excel in your craft.
    I do hope I will get the pleasure of meeting you at one of the winter shows.
    I do pray your husband is doing better each day.

    Love, love your designs.

    Blessings,
