Gift Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Spellbinders  S5-289 Filigree Booklet Die and Spellbinders S4-732 Curled Grace Oval - see full supply list with links at www.amazingpapergrace.com
Good Morning friends, can you bear to see one more gold item?  I really do design in other colors but so much of my creations can be used for elegant events as well as casual events – I think it’s easier to imagine other colors after you see the upscale.  I just returned from Canada where we took the time to make this beauty.  It’s an elegant gift set that includes 12 personal booklets to be used throughout the year.  I imagine them as Gratitude Journals, Food Logs, Scripture reminders, Notes and so many more uses.  To document your year, after the month is used, they can simply be returned to the case.  I’m happy to say that the die used for creating this ensemble has been sold out for some time but looks to be back in stock right now.  The ensemble is made using the Spellbinders  S5-289 Filigree Booklet Die.  Each booklet has grouping of three pages and is embellished on the outside with the buckle tag from Spellbinders S4-732 Curled Grace Oval.  Lastly the medallions used on the case are Spellbinders SDS-055 Beautiful Dreamer Die and Stamp Set.

    It was such a wonderful evening learning with you here in Toronto. The journal gift set is absolutely gorgeous, and mine is going to be a very special gift for a friend of mine who inspires me immensely with her good heart and kindness. She often puts scripture or inspirational sayings on her Facebook page, so I am going to print off a couple of them and put them into the first journal, and she can add more as she desires. It is the perfect gift. I will be ordering the die and making more. Thank you again for taking the time to visit Canada. We hope you come back again soon.ReplyCancel

Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Spellbinders Graceful Damask Border, Spellbinders Art Deco Astoria Labels, Spellbinders  Classic Elegance Label - see full supply list and directions at www.amazingpapergrace.com/?p=31606
Good Morning sweet friends!  I hope you are making preparations for a family filled weekend that makes your holiday special.  I’m prepping kits for some upcoming event so the week has been full of binge watching some tv shows while I’m cutting.   Well, that’s more binge listening but I love a good series when I have time to see it at once – I’m not good at waiting week to week.  So,  I’m popping in today for a short Day of Giving Friday post – very short :-)  I shared this card previously on the Spellbinders Blog but someone asked if it would make it into the giveaway pile.  And I said, yep!!

This card is built on a base that is 5-1/2″x 7-1/2″.  I used Spellbinders S4-707 Graceful Damask Border to cut along the sides.  The side mounted borders give your card a very tall look and is really a kind of unique presentation when you do it to the back also.  I mounted the sentiment on a panel cut using Spellbinders S5-250 Art Deco Astoria Labels.  Lastly, to give a touch of elegance to the flowers, I added the flourish from Spellbinders S6-082 Classic Elegance Label.  I can’t wait to try this format with some of the other borders!

I even made a “dent” in a couple of piles of items that needed my attention. I also was able to carry a full sized file cabinet downstairs for some of my card stock. Alleluia. Thank you Jesus! Happy Easter!ReplyCancel

    Beautiful card! You create such beautiful cards and so willing to share with all of us. Tomorrow, my husband and I celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. My husband told me last night I was the best thing that ever happened to him. He wouldn’t have had the success in life without me beside him, loving and supporting him. I feel truly blessed. Our dear friend found out this past week he has cancer. He said he may have cancer in his body, but he has Jesus in his heart and he will be just fine. Can’t ask for anything better. Feeling blessed.ReplyCancel

    I am grateful for ‘wakening up’ today, and also grateful but saddened that Our Lord had to go through all that pain and suffering, for us !! Easter is a very poignant and thought-provoking time in our Religious Calendar.
    Enjoy your Easter Day Eve.

    I am so thankful for the sacrifice Jesus made for my salvation that we honor this weekend. It is His resurrection that makes the darkness of His sacrifice shine with God”s holy light.

    I am also thankful for my family and especially my Mom, who has been in the hospital for 11 days with a very serious case of pneumonia. I know she is in God”s hands and at 85, I am grateful she is a woman of faith and has been an example to all who know her of a Godly woman.

Hello sweet friends! Spring has returned right?  Maybe that’s why I can’t concentrate, it’s too, too lovely outside.  I hope today finds you well!  Today you get two card from me. I’m sharing this card for Day of Giving Friday here – read down below if you are new to Day of Giving Friday.   AND, over on the Spellbinders Blog, I’m showing you step by step how to craft a special card full of hugs—–> Click HERE!!  So much going on – I hope you’ll pop over there and give me your thoughts.  Is it a card you could see yourself making? If you would, then let me know!


So on to my card for today.  Every once in a while I love a tall card (this one is 8.5″ tall by 4″ wide) – they are so different and really it is so easy to fill up the space, because of the narrowness.  Today I’m highlighting one of my new borders Graceful Floral Lace.  It takes up a lot of real estate on the card and that’s exactly what I wanted.  I simply cut two pieces, backed them with silver foil and adhered the pairing to the top and to the bottom   I stamped my sentiment from Quietfire Design onto vellum paper with Versafine Ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  The sentiment is cut with Spellbinders Classic Ovals SM and framed with Spellbinders Floral Oval.  The tiny filigree piece on the bottom is Spellbinders Corners and Accents One.

    What a beautiful card! I love the sentiment..I have never heard it before.

    The two things that are my favorite things about Spring are :

    All the Flowers,trees,and shrubs starting to bloom with color after such a dreary season ( I live in the PNW). The biggest one of all–is that my Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) lifts and I start to have energy again, to a point, considering all my health issues :) .ReplyCancel

    Wow, two for the price of one. For some reason I could not log in to the Spellbinder website to respond so will do both from here.
    I have the new dies except for the words so should be able to do that card! It is awesome.
    I love spring because I know it will be awhile before the severe heat gets here in beautiful Florida and we actually live in a “near Paradise!”

    Your card today is so elegant and I am so impressed by the fact that you used a die from your border collection to create this more narrow card. I also love your HUGS card on Spellbinders website and the tutorial. I always benefit from your tutorials and videos so I appreciate the time you spend on these things for us. I wasn’t quite sure how to use the Hugs die so I really appreciate seeing you use it.

    Oh – for my comment – spring is not here yet. I think we are expecting snow this week!! Spring is my least favorite season. The best part about it is that summer is on the way!ReplyCancel

I could not visulize how beautiful and petite this die is from the package photo. Springtime, oh Springtime — when will you arrive? So glad you are enjoying Spring. For me, I have snow on the ground here that arrived last night and this morning. I have a few daffodils that popped their joyful heads out and shined with sunshine yellow to excite me that Spring may not be too far away. My favorite part of Spring has to be that the earth comes back to life and renews itself giving hope to all. And then there are those gorgeous flowers and their fragrance. Spring is definitely my favortite time of the year.ReplyCancel

You never need to water your lawn here and it stays green!!! Many of my cards have flowers… and my other favorite… butterflies!

    Oh Becca! This is beyond gorgeous! I just love it! Your card on the Spellbinders site is beautiful too. The frame maker is on my wish list!
    Spring is certainly on its way. My favourite part is to go out in the garden these lighter evenings, seeing the new shoots and finding those plants which have made it through the winter and are just beginning to wake again. The snowdrops showed a few weeks ago, the daffodils began to appear last week and blossom is out on the cherry plum trees. Just hope we don’t have a cold snap here in the UK to set things on their heels!
    Hugs

    My favorite part of spring is the rains, the new growth, and especially seeing the beautiful new baby animals! We already have our garden tilled, and ready to plant. I am so looking forward to fresh vegetables from the garden!ReplyCancel
