 
Hugs Blog Friends! I should probably explain that when I sit down to create a new tutorial, I make lots of samples and try things many different ways. Recently I shared a tutorial on the Filigree Corners Basket but I experimented with a couple of different shapes and configurations and this was one I really liked. In truth, I’ll probably use the smaller version more than the larger version so I definitely wanted to share it with you. It’s much like the previous tutorial but with a couple of different option twists :-) Lots of you encouraged me to give you more card making and project ideas with Filigree Corner Dies and I’m happy to oblige!
This is what I put inside the box – a decorated candle. I have to make an admission here, this is the first time I’ve tried one of these candles. I’ve seen people make these candles and I blundered through this blindly and think that ultimately I didn’t do it right although it turned out okay for me. I used Versamark Ink and gold embossing powder to stamp Filigree Leaves onto white tissue paper. The tissue paper is then heated with heat gun so that it melt embeds ever so slightly into the candle. I freaked out when wondered if my embossing would stay intact and I’m happy to say that it did. Google ‘Stamped Candle’ if you’d like to try it – the right way :-)
To save the tutorial simply right click and save image as – it is one large picture. Or, if you participate in Pinterest, I have the tutorial saved to my tutorial page HERE so you can easily repin :-).
You all are the best!! Thanks for visiting, I so appreciate you!!
Hi there sweet blog friends, today is full of a couple of ‘news’ :-) 1. A new stamp set from JustRite Papercraft called Black Eyed Susan Vintage Labels. 2. A new die template from JustRite Papercrafts called Vintage Labels Five and 3. A new die, Spellbinders Tapestry. No worries, I reached for a trusty standby and created the card base from Spellbinders Grand Labels Twenty Three. Oh but wait, there are a couple more ‘news’ I forgot about!!! A new website at JustRite Papercraft and a new look at the blog at JustRite Inspirations – if you click any of my links here, you’ll get to take a peek.
For my card, the main focal element is the cutout using Spellbinders Tapestry cut directly into the card base. I backed the cutout with a piece of vellum so that you couldn’t see right through like with most filigree cards. I cut a second panel using the Tapestry die template and trimmed out the oval motif that I stacked directly on top of my main panel. I finished off the stack with JustRite Vintage Labels Four.
Here’s your Step By Step Recap of die cuts and layers, from the bottom up: Start out with a Card Base cut using Grand Labels Twenty Three (5-1/2″ x 6-7/8″) , card base front cut using Tapestry die cut, foam tape, die cut layer using oval motif trimmed out of the center of Tapestry die cut, foam tape, Vintage Labels Four. Add lace, ribbon ad pearls.

Dear friends, I hope your week is going well!! Someone asked me about anniversary and wedding card making ideas so I wanted to pop in with this card that I made recently. It’s one of the batch that went to the UK but since it’s so easy and makes a unique wedding/anniversary card I thought I’d show it here. By the way, a picture would be lovely in the frame with the sentiment stamped below – just sayin! Oh, and hello wedding invitation, right?
The basic card includes Spellbinders Grand Large Labels made into a card base. I have two tutorials that show you my method to do this Spellbinders Hinged Card Bases. They come in handy with this card because you get a clean window on the front when the front and back are cut separately, then the window cut (using Spellbinders Grand Squares), then front and back joined. I also used JustRite Filigree Corners with Mix and Match Sentiments, Spellbinders Floral Ovals (hollowed out by Spellbinders Classic Ovals LG) and Spellbinders Scalloped Borders Two. It is simply a window card and the floral oval with sentiment inside is glued to the inside of the card (see below) :-)
Here’s your Step By Step recap of die cuts and layers, from the bottom up: Start out with a Card Base cut using Grand Labels as described above – 5-3/8″ x 6-7/8″ , die cut layer using four of the small corners from Filigree Corners adhered to front of card, foam tape, die cut layer with Scalloped Borders Two on lower end of card. Floral ovals glued to inside of card. Add bow and bling.

WAUW this is soooooooo gorgeous as ever Becca, really beautiful work and so elegant. Your candles looks just perfect to me, and you did it just right. I´ve made many of these over the last couple of years, and they´re always a very welcome gift, any time you use them, and pretty easy to make too. I really like, how you embossed yours with just gold, it looks awesome.
FABULOUS AND SO SIMPLE. WONDERFUL JOB BECCA. XXXX
How very awesome! We are having a tea as a fundraiser and these would be so elegant on each table with the chocolates. Each table could have a winner as a door prize and who wouldn’t like to take one of these home. Thanks for sharing your lovely creations with us, Becca. Have a blessed day.
Hugs,

Wow … such an easy tutorial to follow and with such beautiful results! Thanks so much for sharing this, Becca!
So delicate and feminine. Beautifully done!
Once again you have wowed me,Becca. I am not usually very fond of this kind of handmade boxes but this one is certainly an exception. I am also encouraged to try making the candle. What a great idea for a small Chrsistmas gift for a dear friend or two.
your generous sharing of your talent and time is so appreciated. In spite of my aversion to spending so much on a die, I will have to make an exception with this one. beautiful. M
Wonderful Becca… thank you. I can see these gorgeous boxes/baskets making up a lot of gifts this Christmas. tfs.

I love all things filagree so this is perfect for me to use as a gift box, etc. I am wondering how you did the plastic top or if you used a premade box and trimmed it out? And, I would like to join the ranks of those that have asked for tutorials… love ’em!! Thank you for being so responsive…
YOU’RE the best…keep posting your beautiful work! I look forward to it every day!
such a beautiful gift set, I haven’t tried the candle thing yet but may have to for some gifts this year
These are fabulous!! Great tutes too :)
Simply Beautiful Becca….TFS
Thank you so much for this tutorial. You make what looks very hard, very easy. Everything you make is always so elegant. Thank you for helping me “think” I can make elegant items also!
Becca,
you are wonderful – I shall be making ALL , the box and the baskets. They are all so beautiful. I love that die.
Thanks for showing us how it’s done and creating those lovely dies of yours.
Hugs, Rose

Quite gorgeous!
Fabulous, fabulous, FABULOUS!!!!! What a beautiful project! Thank you so much, Becca!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GORGEOUS, AS USUAL BECCA!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Good evening Becca,
What a beautiful basket, box and card. It just shows that it your corners are not just corners, but the sides to a box and basket. Imagination is a wonderful thing Becca as you show that this and creativeness combined comes up with the most beautiful creations.
Love and crafty hugs

I have to say, I like the smaller basket as well. The box is very pretty too. Thanks for the inspiration
Thank you much again, Becca. So is there a trick/tip to align the edger punch side-to-side when punching both sides for the handle?
Hello Becca!
The candle is beautiful ..I have yet to try this technique, even though I have seen it demonstrated several times. I will one day lol!
I love all the ideas you show on your blog, and the different uses of the Dies that I have not yet thought of!
Thank you Becca!
Love Marg
Another gorgeous basket idea. Love your inspiration and your blog.
I made the first one that same day you posted it and it is lovely. Going to make this one today….on second thoughts I will make two.
Thanks for all the effort you go to, to give us such beautiful projects.
Becca, you are quite impressive! I wish I had one tenth of your talent! Love your project.
Love the baskets. 2 questions. What are those clips you mention? And on the handle for the bigger basket – what are the dimensions of the paper for the handle? I ordered the dies last week and just waiting for them to be mailed out.
Oh on the handle I’m asking about the width of the paper not the length.
Thanks for the tutorial, going to try the candle thingy, hope I can make a bunch for Christmas. Beautiful, as always!
Morning Becca, You always give us these fantastic tutorials, I love this, and I will be trying this out, as these would be lovely for our Church Christmas Fayre.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
You Becca are the best !!
Thank you for the Tutorial i will be having a go of this
