Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Quietfire Design - Light Tomorrow with Today and Spellbinders Labels Forty Five and Decorative Labels Forty Five - www.amazingpapergrace.com
Hey there, peeking in to say hi!  I know several of you have left questions for the question parking lot and I promise I’ll get to them.  I’m on a roll creating  so I thought I should keep going while the ideas are flowing, right?  Every now and again I walk past my pile of cards I’m working on and stack a couple of things together and roll with it.  That’s what happened today, so I thought I’d pause and share.  Lately I’ve had a couple of requests for simple – here ya go :-)

    Hi, Becca,
    I am a huge fan of your beautiful papercrafts. I have a question about the “Faithful Friend” card. When using the Romantic Agenda die, how do you get the colored pieces inside the band? Especially the little tiny diamond shapes? Is there a trick to this? Would appreciate any advice.
    Thanks in advance!ReplyCancel

Friendship Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Quietfire Design - Always Be My Friend and Spellbinders Oval Regalia and Spellbinders Romantic Agenda - www.amazingpapergrace.com
Good morning friends!  Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today!  I had a couple of new dies that I’ve been “die-ing” to play with so I created a friendship card to share.  I love the Quietfire Design sentiment – Those who find a faithful friend have found a treasure from the Always Be My Friend Collection.  I stamped it directly onto my design paper – I love to do that – I wanted some of the roses from the design paper to peek out from underneath the lacy curves of Spellbinders Oval Regalia – a beautiful die cut that just begs for pearls in my humble opinion. :-)
Friendship Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Quietfire Design - Always Be My Friend and Spellbinders Oval Regalia and Spellbinders Romantic Agenda - www.amazingpapergrace.com
My card base measures 6-1/2 inches wide by 5-1/4 inches tall.  The bottom of each layer is cut using Spellbinders A2 Bracket Borders One.  I used Bracket Border on my card base, my cream layer and my design paper layer that is matted with the same shape in lavender paper.  Then over top of everything I used Spellbinders Romantic Agenda as a belly band – it’s backed with the same lavender paper.  I didn’t want to cover that beauty up so I tucked a small multiloop bow underneath it.

CRAFT SUPPLIES I USED 
Stamps:  Quietfire Design, Always Be My Friend Collection
Craft Paper
:  Neenah Classic Crest – Natural White – 80lb smooth, Papertrey Ink – Lavender Moon
Ink:  Versafine – Onyx Black
Accessories:  Spellbinders Oval Regalia, Spellbinders A2 Bracket Borders One, Spellbinders Romantic Agenda,  May Arts Silk Ribbon, Recollection Pearls, clear embossing powder, pearl button

Stay warm friends!  It’s even below freezing where I live so I know it’s cold up north!  Isn’t it a perfect day for drinking hot chocolate, throwing on your thick wool socks, snagging your favorite blankie and crafting the day away?  Make it so!   Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll see you soon.

    Becca, you know how some art pieces make you go “Wow!” And some make your heart resonate? This card did both for me…just outstanding.

    My question: on the belly band, my assumption is that you ran the die through with lavender paper with an embossing pad? I’m curious about the myriad of small, perfectly placed dots…did you do those by hand? The result is stunning…however that came into being.

    Thanks for this one…

What did you do to raise the very delicate oval? Tiny little bit of foam? Also the brand of printed paper. There is always so much that doesn’t meet the eye at first in creating an intricate card like this one. We all love it and would appreciate all the details! Thanks so much!ReplyCancel

    Hello, I love every card that you do. They are done beautifully. Could you please explain to me how you did the belly band on the “Faithful Friend” card. I know you cut one out and the purple you used a mat to emboss. My question is how did you cut the edges so they did not show?ReplyCancel

Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Spellbinders Victorian Medallion Three - www.amazingpapergrace.com
One more short post to cap off the week :-)  This is a card that I had on my work board that I finished up and wanted to share that uses Spellbinders Victorian Medallion Three, Spellbinders A2 Divine Eloquence and Spellbinders Twisted Metal Tags and Accents.  The sweet stamp is from my stash of Wordsworth from the Hugo Collection.

Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Spellbinders Victorian Medallion Three - www.amazingpapergrace.com
Thanks for all your sweet words of encouragement this week!  I’m so grateful for the community of stampers and crafters that so graciously give the gift of their time to visit – it really means a lot to me.   Oddly, with the world stretched out before me, I’ve found such comfort in my surroundings and have unbelievably become a homebody; being settled is so good for my soul :-)   Very often, the company for the day is the kind word I see on my blog and Instagram; it’s like a sweet morsel, it is dessert,  it is enough, I couldn’t ask for more and again I’m compelled to tell you how grateful I am.  Don’t worry, even if you don’t leave comments, I thank you still because I feel your sweet spirit.  I leave you with a quick snap of the wonderful calendar I have on my desk to greet me each morning – it so inspiring.

Becca Calendar Page
Please tuck that away in your mental file folder and pull it when you need it :-)  Isn’t that just a glorious thought?

    Hi Becca,

    Wow! Stunning! Love the use of dies you have used, I find it amazing how you always add two or three die cuts together on the front of a card and they all go together so well. Beautiful creation.

    Love the calender on your desk too.

    Love & Hugs

    I work from home, and during the day, my community here is the dog and the cat – who is usually off sleeping someplace. I know the power of words through the pixels – be assured yours come this way as well.

    Hi Becca,
    Things have been very hectic so I’ve ony just now got round to looking at your last three blogs…………….All of which have been absolutely gorgeous and inspiring.

    And here’s a quote in a book that a friend gave me:
    “I wish you the beauty of silence, the glory of sunlight, the mystery of darkness, the power of water, the quiet strength of the earth, the love tht lies at the very root of things”.
    It is such a beautiful sentiment…………. uplifts me every time (as do all of the quotes in that book.
    Hugs, RoseReplyCancel

    I am always inspired when I see you have a new post and today’s was one I really needed. My life situation has taken a turn for the worst and I was in despair but after looking at your beautiful design and reading your calendar quote I find myself in awe. That someone who has gone through so much and has shared so much and received so much still has the compassion and humility to be greatful in such an outward way. Your site name “Amazing Grace” takes on a whole new meaning for me today. May he continue to use you to inspire all who cross your path.

    I know just what you mean, Becca. Real or imagined, this electronic world provides us with so much support. I choose to see it as a real connection between hearts and minds that we are blessed to have at the touch of a few buttons. I never realized how many people were visiting my site until I checked the stats quite by accident one day. Only a small portion of them commented so I had no idea how many there were. It was a small joy to learn that. Hopefully, you see the numbers of us who visit consistently but only comment occasionally, too. Additionally, I have been following you for about 5 years and have seen every post; went all the way back to the very beginning to see what I had missed and then check out every new post. I still struggle to see things the way you do that makes your creations so fabulous. There is a rare vision for these things in your mind and it is a special creative gift that can only be partially duplicated with great effort by those who don’t have it. Create on, lovely lady.ReplyCancel
