 
Good morning blog friends, I have a sweet new sentiment by Quietfire Design called Give Thanks and you guessed it, I’m using it for a Thanksgiving Card. Normally I’m off to dinners at a friends house over the holiday, so over the course of the season I make a couple of elegant cards to bring along for the occasion. This card has been languishing on my work table for a couple of weeks while I second guessed if the border could live on the left hand side or not. Lol, I’m being brave today! I’m always looking for some way *not* to make the same cards over in any case, I absolutely love the Spellbinders Mary Border Strip this is my first time to use it!
The pennants on the card were simply cut with scissors. To get the border in place I simply cut four border strips then used the border to cut the left edge of the card. I glued the gold edging on top of the cream on the inside and outside of the card. :-) Can’t wait to try this out on the bottom of a card too!
| CRAFT SUPPLIES I USED |
Rubber Stamps: Quietfire Design – Give Thanks
Craft Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Solar White – 80 lb smooth, Gold Cardstock
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black and clear embossing powder
Accessories: Spellbinders Mary Border Strip, Cream Grosgrain Ribbon, Paper Studio Button, Paper Studio Pearls |
Be blessed friends, thanks so much for stopping by!
Good morning friends! Today is release day for Waltzingmouse Stamps and three new sets and two dies are now available – Flurries, Jolly Old Elf and Elf Made as well as a series of two label dies – Pretty Panels #1 and Pretty Panels #2. You can see them in full HERE. For the blog hop today please know you can always get your bearings by popping over to the Waltzingmouse Blog, otherwise if you’ve just come from Tosha’s blog, you’re in the right place and I am at the end of the line today. Be sure to visit the Waltzingmouse Blog for the details on a Pin-it to Win it Contest.
For my 5-3/4″ square card today the inspiration came from the matting layer of Pretty Panels #1. This was pushed around on my desktop all week and in the end I decided that I would build it into a dainty border in which I could showcase Snowflake 1 Die and a pretty stamped snowflake from Flurries. Do you see it? I simply took the matting layer and laid one across the other like a ‘+’, I thought that was pretty spiffy. Never one to exercise restraint, I did it again, so my bordering layer consists of 4 matting layer outlines all crisscrossed like an “*” asterisk you can see the progression below.
I used the Stitched Tags Die Set for my sentiment and cut a notch out of the end. The gorgeous round die is a new die from Spellbinders called Spellbinders Royal Circle.
This adorable little elf was too cute not to make up a quick box and stamp him on a tag. He’s from the Elf Made set and there are a bunch of stamps that will work for your little ones and big little ones – if you know what I mean. I stamped and embossed the snowflake from Flurries onto a gable box and stamped the elf on the largest tag from the Stitched Tags Die Set. All in all, ready to go in less than 10 :-)
If you joined in to the hop midstream, you can start at the beginning by visiting Julia Aston. In the meantime, thanks so much for stopping by and I’ll see you soon!!
Hi there sweet blog friends! Today is Day One of the new releases for Waltzingmouse Stamps. The sets that are planned for this week are over the top adorable so I hope you’ll stop by each day. Today I’m sharing two cards using the new Flurries set and new dies, the little trees and snow flakes are so cute!!! For my card today I’m using the new Spellbinders Majesty die and I’ve layered it with Spellbinders Labels 42 – Decorative Elements and embellished with Spellbinders Victorian Tassels. By the way, the previews all lead up to release day which is Tuesday, October 28th – at which time all of the products we’re showing will be available to see in full and purchase on the Waltzingmouse Stamps website.
My second card is simple, simple, simple. I’m using a brand new Waltzingmouse Die called Pretty Panels 1 and used the negative cutout for my sentiment and to nestle some of the snowflakes from the Flurries set. My center panel is embellished with the Picot Panel die set and a bow.

Oh, Becca! This is so very beautiful! Thank you, for the inspiration. I needed it, this morning~ Much joy to you!
This is beyond gorgeous, your links to the border all go to the stamp not the border though. Beautifully done card and I may have to use this on some of mine. Thanks,
Stunning and so very elegant! You always do such beautiful work. A wonderful
season of Thanksgiving is my wish for you.
Wow, that side die is gorgeous. It’s so pretty in the gold. You are a truly talented lady
Gorgeous card. Can’t wait for the die to become available in the US.
Wish you would list in your accessories under each card what your embossing background is. Some of them are so very pretty would love to be able to get them. Being fairly new to card crafting, still acquiring supplies. lew
WOW!!! love that border die! so gorgeous!!
Amazingly beautiful card.
I love the card! I love neutral colors as well and the Quietfire sentiment is perfect for Thanksgiving. Just a note to you Becca, when I click on the Spellbinders die listed in the Accessories section of (Crafts Supplies I used) and the link under the first picture of the card, it goes to the Quietfire site not Spellbinders site. The Quietfire link also goes to the Quietfire link.
Your bows are so fantastic as well! You are truly an inspiration!
The left border work beautifully, and the card will be a treasure to whomever receives it. I’m confused about attaching it, though. From looking at the product, it appears to me that it cuts the border out completely, so I am curious about how you got one that was left attached to the gold paper…..would love to know how you did that!
Thanks Becca,
Joni
An absolutely beautiful card. I’d love to see a video tutorial on how to make this beauty!
Hello Becca
So pleased to see the Mary Border I have that on Pre order now I can see that it is beautiful!
Love the card and the sentiment!

You are most welcome to come here for dinner if you bring one of your masterpieces! It’s a bit of a long way to go though ehh! Seriously, love what you have done with this card – it’s pure class.
Becca,
Gorgeous card, love the colors, the sentiment, and that bow, wow…the whole card is wow. FYI, your active link to Spellbinder products is not working properly. Also, would it be possible for you to do a video on how you did this card…I’m a wee bit confused on how you put it all together…I’m a visual person. Amazing job.
Stunning Becca, Happy thanksgiving to you and your family ( when its here lol! early I know but so I don’t forget!!!) Love that boarder too.
Love & Hugs

Becca, as usual you don’t disappoint and bring out the best in your creative spirit! I love the awesome card and so appreciate you sharing it with us! Thank you!
Oh goodness, that is so pretty! The lace on the side was what instantly caught my eye. Love it!!! The entire card is so elegant and beautiful – the sentiment is wonderful. Love this card!!!
It is gorgeous ! Would make a beautiful wedding card, too !
Beautiful card. One I would love to receive! You did GOOD!!!
just stunning x
Becca, love all your creations, however, I clicked on the link for the L. side border and got the text. Where do I find the die cut and what is the Spellbinders name? Please email me at the above email, would you?
WOW! This is just stunning Becca! I love the border..
Good afternoon Becca,
I have one word for this – perfection xx
This card is absolutely stunning! Beautiful creation, Becca. I like Joni and Blue Rose can’t figure out how you got the gold border to stick to the cardstock border you cut out. Perhaps a little glue but still can’t figure it out.
Thanks for helping us with the details which to you are a “piece of cake!”
Ohh Becca. If this is what you come up with when you are playing all I can say is WOW.
And do you want to play at my house if you ever visit England. Tx
Such an elegant card Becca , beautiful .
That die is rather fabulous!

Absolutely Beautiful just like you, My Dear {{{hugz}}}
Thank YOU for being such a sweet gentle Inspiration to us all not just in Card making, but also in day to day living. I love how you are so honest about yourself.Thank You.
In your honest humble opinion, which is the best Embossing & Die-cutting machine to buy ?
I want to save up for one I saw the Sizzix Big Shot Pro and am liking it but I want your opinion of it first.
Hi Becca. Wow this is stunning. I love how you have used that gorgeous border :-) Hugs xxx
Wow–what a gorgeous card. I love the inventive way you attached the border!
Stunning card. Thanks for sharing.
Becca, this card is so very sophisticated and elegant. I would love to copy your idea for the left-side border, but I wasn’t clear on how you attached it to the card. Or did you just use the die to cut out the left side of your card and then cover it with the gold cardstock?
One more question sweet Becca – the patterned paper used on your background (I’m assuming it’s patterned paper) do you remember who makes it? I realize you have several tons of paper and you’ve horded some over the years, so it may be one that is not being made any more, but thought I’d ask! I still have a FULL patterned paper pack that I bought in 2001 that I have not used at all – it’s too beautiful and I just can’t seem to bring myself to cut any of it!!!
Morning Becca and all crafters out there in craft land, oh such a beautiful card today, I love it, it has elegance and beauty, gorgeous, one that I will have to have a go at.
Have a great day everyone, stay safe, healthy and happy. hugs, June Smith from UK xxx
