Card Making Idea by Becca Feeken using Quietfire Design and Spellbinders Roman Romance with A2 Curved Borders Two
Hi there friends!  I’m sure you can tell, but lately I’ve been inspired by texture and embossing.  Today I’m sharing a shaped card (shaped using one of my favorite border dies) embellished using an embossing folder.  If you don’t recognize it, I embossed the embossing folder twice and assembled them so that the design was mirrored.  This time around I wanted a symmetical design and it’s easy enough to do.  I found  a wonderful Quietfire Design sentiment called To Create Is To Touch that spans the bottom of the card beautifully :-)WRBF-4174-2014
I’m using Spellbinders Roman Romance 3D M-Bossabilities for the texture along with Spellbinders A2 Curved Borders Two.  I cut it twice and seamed it in the middle where it would be covered by ribbon.  I applied the borders separately adhering them with Ranger Crystal Accents.  I made my top border hinged just like I do with other dies when making a filigree card base.  My front has two layers . . . I put a layer behind the embossing/bordered layer so that my card would be nice and neat on the inside and the ribbon raw edges would be hidden – this is the layer I stamped my sentiment on.

CRAFT SUPPLIES I USED 
Rubber Stamps: Quietfire Design – To Create Is To Touch
Craft Paper: Neenah Classic Crest – Solar White 80 lb
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black and Clear Embossing Powder
Accessories:  Spellbinders Roman Romance M-BossabilitiesSpellbinders A2 Curved Borders Two, The Paper Studio Pearls,  May Arts Silk Ribbon, Grand Calibur Die Cut Machine

Sending blessings your way on this wonderful day!

    One Gorgeous Card! Absolutely pristine1 This is one for a TUTORIAL as there are so many “hidden” elements to putting it together. Those hidden elements that may be a problem to figure out at first glance. You know what they say, “Those that are really good at something make it look easy!” Not wanting to reinvent the wheel a good lesson would so be appreciated!ReplyCancel

Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using JustRite Magnolia Vintage Labels Seven, Spellbinder Mediteranean Medallion and Spellbinders Create a Rose
Greetings friends….hallelujah, spring is coming!!  I love everything about spring and it makes me reach for the powdery light pastel colors of heavenly flowers.  Today I have a clean and simple card to share and I wanted to show off the gorgeous detail of a new embossing folder – Spellbinders Mediterranean Medallion.  It’s a card made using a new sentiment from the Magnolia Vintage Labels Seven set from JustRite Papercraft and doubles down for sympathy or for someone who is going through a hard time.  For the latter occasion, I send out many cards – probably more so than birthdays.  How about you?
WRBF-4171-2014
I wanted a soft flowing look for my flower so I simply diecut using pink tissue paper and Spellbinders Create A Rose.   The finished rose was glued down to the top of my bow then I embellished the card front with a cameo button from my stash.
WRBF-4172-2014
The embossing detail is so lovely and it would be a shame to cover it up!  What a struggle for me!  After that, I sat on my hands so I wouldn’t be tempted to keep adding.  Yes, it was very hard :-)

CRAFT SUPPLIES I USED 
Rubber Stamps: JustRite Papercraft – Magnolia Vintage Labels Seven
Craft Paper: Neenah Classic Crest – Natural White 80 lb, PTI, Pink Tissue Paper
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black and Clear Embossing Powder
Accessories: Spellbinders Mediterranean Medallion, Spellbinders Create A RoseCameo Button, Paper Source Satin Ribbon, Grand Calibur Die Cut Machine

Yay spring, get here soon!!  Hope you’re having a beautiful day wherever you are!

    Beautiful card, Becca, as always. I never thought of trying tissue paper with the flower die but will do so because it looks so soft and delicate. Also glad I have an order in for the new Spellbinders’s embossing folder.

    I can hardly wait until this embossing folder arrives. I ordered it as one of the many new items from Spellbinders. So glad you used this so that we can see what a PRO did with it. Just love it! The cameo really hits the spot and of course pink is my favorite color. Thanks Becca and have a wonderful weekend.

Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Spellbinders Majestic Labels Twenty Fiive, Fleur de Lis Squares, Flourish Corners and Bird Banner
Greetings friends! I wanted to slip in today with a card for my stash that I wanted to share. The paper is so lovely and I cringe that I covered it up as much as I did but I had a series of dies I really wanted to use. I started out using  Spellbinders Majestic Labels Twenty Five with Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Squares  inside (Spellbinders Classic Squares SM) helped me make it a frame too).  Tucked in the upper and lower corners of the square I filled in with Spellbinders Corner Flourish.  I couldn’t resist the little birdie on the banner so I placed Spellbinders Bird Banner on the inside which is stamped with a Wordsworth sentiment.   Lastly the flowers on my bow are created with Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms.

WRBF-4149-2014
My card today users older dies except for one, so I’m happy to share the how-to cause you can make it now.  By the way, the I added the gold birdie by just cutting the die an additional time and snipping it off from the banner.  With Corner Flourish, I positioned each flourish underneath my frame and snipped off the excess – I love that inside look!

You Can Make This Card Too:  Start out with a hinged card base sized 5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″.  Here are the rest of the layers from the bottom up.  Foam tape to lift gold mat layer cut to 5-1/4″ x 7-1/4″, design paper layer cut to 5-1/8″ x 7-1/8″, double layer of foam tape (I use Scotch 3M Foam tape that is 1/16″ thick) to lift frame cut using Majestic Labels Twenty Five, quadruple layer of foam tape to lift Fleur de Lis Square embellished with two Corner Flourishes.  Quadruple layer of foam tape to lift Bird Banner placed in center of square.  Frame embellished by loopy bow and embellished with flowers made from Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms (1 of each flower).  Embellish with pearls.

CRAFT SUPPLIES I USED
Rubber Stamps: Wordsworth
Craft Paper: Neenah Classic Crest – Smooth – Natural White, Gold Poster Board (Hobby Lobby), K and Company
Ink: Victorian Velvet Distress Ink, Versafine – Onyx Black
AccessoriesSpellbinders Majestic Labels Twenty Five, Spellbinders Fleur de Lis SquareSpellbinders Corner FlourishSpellbinders Bird Banner, Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms, Spellbinders Classic Squares SMRecollections Pearls, May Arts Silk Ribbon, Grand Calibur Die Cut Machine

I have been so busy at home, and sadly my craft room is in shambles.  I hate that because I work best with a tidy area.  I feel a spring cleaning coming on – heaven only knows what I’ll find.  I hope all is well in your sweet world!

  • Clare WFebruary 27, 2014 - 8:41 am

    Great card yet again – love the bitty blossoms dies – they are a fave along with Elegant Labels 4 and some others! Enjoy the spring clean – a good tidy up and sort out just has to be done sometimes – it’s quite therapeutic I find if you get in the mood beforehand! The time defintely pays dividends later on – although sometimes I move things to ‘special places’ and then a few months later…. do you think I can remember where the ‘special place’ was? I can remember I put it in a ‘special place’ but then spend hours turning the house upside down till I find it – that really, really annnoys me!! This happened last week when I was trying to find the radio charger lead – I found it in a saucepan cupboard of all places – what was I thinking?!! The lead is now labelled and in the leads draw along with all the others – which are also labelled – as I would never know what charges what otherwise! Enjoy your tidy up!ReplyCancel

    Pretty, pretty card today Becca!
    Today is my Sis’ birthday and ofcourse, I made her a pretty card. I started making Bity Blossoms flowers and explained in her card, these were one of my first attempts, but when I called her today, she made me feel “soooo good because she thought the bity blossoms were just lovely. Still have some practicing to do to get them as good as yours. But you have given some inspiration that I can do them. Had the dies for quite awhile before I made the attempt. Good luck with your spring cleaning – I am waiting to get quotes to enclose my screened in porch to make a craft room. Sooooo excited, I am about to jump out of my skin. At least I have sorted out all my “stuff” and have it in plastic containers and labeled so I am calling 2014 my year of organization.

    I know what you mean about your craft room, it is amazing what you find when you tidy through. I tidied mine a couple of weeks ago, and tried to organise my dies, and found I had duplicated a few of them !!!! and I had done the same with some stamps too !!!! anyone would think I had money to waste haha, not !!!
