There’s nothing better than the day the postman leaves your house and you know there’s a package waiting there for you. Well actually there is something better and that’s when the package is new stamps!! I still get that way and that’s what makes stamp releases so cool!! So we’re back for Day 3 of Previews for Waltzingmouse Stamps during their June Release. There are more new sets to see!! I’m using the new Country Labels 14 for a powdery blue card stacked with accents. The sentiment is so cute; the card says Love You to Bits. I printed out this sweet paper from ByDigital for my background and stayed within the same color palette for the rest of the card.
So to recap my layers from the bottom up, the card base is made from Spellbinders 5 x 7 Elegant Labels Four. My tutorial on Spellbinders Hinged Card Bases will show you how to make your card base, if you have any questions. This one is filigree on the front and solid on the back. The rest of the layers are as follows: design paper layer 4″ x 5-3/4″, foam tape, die cut layer from Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight, foam tape, die cut layer cut from Spellbinders Timeless Rectangles, foam tape, die cut layer cut from Spellbinders Labels Fourteen. Ribbon and flowers go on their appropriate layers.

Welcome to the Waltzingmouse Stamps June Release. This is preview Day2 and the design team is previewing quite a few new sets. I went with a brown and cream card today because I’m using a crackle background stamp. Since it is a reverse background, I stamped with Versamark and embossed with clear ink then rubbed Tea Dye ink in the crevices to highlight the crackle. The mini measures 2-5/8″ x 3-3/8″ which was just the right size for the interior of one of my die layers.
So to recap my layers from the bottom up, I started with a card base of 5-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ , foam tape, die cut layer with Spellbinders A2 Filigree Delight, foam tape, die cut layer with Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight, foam tape, die cut layer with Spellbinders Window Two, die cut layer with Spellbinders Labels Eight with sentiment. After all was put together, the corners were embellished with Spellbinders Moroccan Accents. Flowers and ribbon added on appropriate layers.

Good morning sweet friends, a card today but also something I need to talk to you about! Thank you so much for being understanding over my test post yesterday. The reason that I sent it was to test to see if people who subscribe through a reader were still getting my posts.
Let me explain – there are changes afoot in blogland and most of you won’t be affected, but some of you will. There are two kinds of subscribers here at Amazing Paper Grace – I outline them below:
Amazing Paper Grace Email Subscriber – Every time I write a post you get a notification that pops up within the hour, in your email.
Nothing changes for you – you are all good. As a matter of fact, please don’t change a thing – I’m getting ready to offer random giveaways through this venue because it’s easy to randomly pick a name from this list.
Amazing Paper Grace Reader Subscriber – When I write a new post it appears in your reader program, the next time you open your reader program.
If you are using Google Reader as your method to subscribe, Google Reader is being retired on July 1st and the list of all the blogs you subscribe to will go away with it. If this is you, I encourage you to go to www.Feedly.com (or www.bloglovin.com) and download their reader program. I’m very familiar with Feedly and when you sign in with your gmail account that you used for Google Reader, it will automatically ask if it can save your blog list. Yay!!
No matter what reader you use, please make sure that your subscription to my blog is www.amazingpapergrace.com and not http://feeds.feedburner.com/amazingpapergrace/tsap. I love my readers and don’t want anyone to go missing, lol!!
Yes, you can do both but in todays uncertain climate with Google Reader going away, email subscription is a stable bet!
Okay, enough of that, today I’m sharing a card that I made earlier this week to share on my sweet friend Janet’s blog, I didn’t think she would mind me sharing it here. I’ve been a customer of Janet’s since last year but didn’t know her until you all asked about the paper that I used on my Filigree Box and Card ensemble. Since then, I’ve kind of fallen head over heels into her collections at ByDigitalPaper on Etsy. Her paper lives right here on my computer where I can get to it in a heartbeat to find the right page for my project!! Using her Bellissima panel (which I enlarged), I backed it up with Spellbinders 5 x 7 Detailed Scallops. Using the same layer of Bellissma, I fussy cut the roses around the perimeter then used my Spellbinders Classic Ovals LG to cut the rest of the border while inside I used the tall oval from Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles. Ha, this might be the second time I’ve ever said ‘fussy cut’ on this blog because it’s something I rarely do but I wanted the dimension of the roses. I backed my oval layer up with Spellbinders Floral Ovals.

Morning Becca, Wow !! another stunner !! I love the filigree front of this card and the solid back, I will have to try that one ha ha. Loving the patterned paper and the glorious filigree die-cuts. So beautiful.
Have a good weekend, I wish out weather here was better, I am missing the sun, we had rain for most of yesterday, thankfully our Walking Day managed to avoid the heavy rain, and the children were gorgeous in their white dresses and lovely outfits.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
LOVE YOU AND YOUR CARDS TO BITS TOO. ALWAYS SO ELEGANT. SMASHING PASTEL SHADES USED HERE . MATCH THE RIBBON WONDERFULLY. GREAT JOB

Once again, Becca, you have taken simple elegance and transformed it into a work of art. I think this card is is another fabulous creation.
Very pretty card. When you print paper etc from your computer do you do anything to make the ink permanent?
very pretty, and I love the saying on this one
You got me hooked, girl! Love this digital paper. I did buy some and will proably get this beautiful blue as well.
Card is another masterpiece. Wish I lived closer to you; I would probably “bug” you all the time. Have a great weekend and look forward to your next post.
Hugs,

My stack of Spellbinders is always growing, thanks to you. And yesterday I went to the craft store and bought a 14″sq. 3 drawer plastic container and some mat board. I have always kept my ribbon in big boxes, and I am so appreciative of your sharing how you store it. It is going to work fine–and look so much better on the shelf.
I also joined Etsy.com, so that I would have access to those beautiful By
digtal papers. Haven’t downloaded yet because I need to learn how.
I like the way you are recapping your layers, too. Thanks for it all.
Beautiful framing, love the soft blue and the lovely ribbon and flowers!
SUPER SWEET BECCA!!!!!!!!!!:) (sigh! You MUST have a GORGEOUSLY DECORATED home!) :)
Well, you have done it again!! Another beautiful card. Love the dimension and accents too.
So lovely with that blue floral paper Becca! That sentiment is SO fun!
STUNNING>>>>I love the rose paper. Perfect background with perfect color. I love how you wrapped the ribbon 3x too. Just beautiful. The labels, the blue print and the sentiment are the perfect added touch. Thank you so much for sharing.
Gorgeous layers as usual. I love the background paper you used.
Oooohh – lovely card! That soft blue is wonderful. The Country Labels looks like a great set. I’ll be looking forward to the reveal on Sunday. Thanks, Becca!
Simply lovely! Again, all the elements and qualities of card that make me go “ooooh” are this this card. Another favourite of yours.
0gorgeous card, I love the elegant white layers!
Another fab lovely and AHA! This one is a card for which I have all the spellbinders so I will be making it, lol! I do have a problem I hope you can help me with. After my Bruce passed I had to move twice but am now settled thank goodness. During the moving I lost my DVD that goes with the Becca Bowmaker that I had purchased when you first let them on the market with ODBD’s and cannot remember how to make the lovely bows you make. Can you tell me where I can find a replacement and if so I would be so grateful. Have viewed the U tube ones and they are not nearly as good as yours!!
Absolutely beautiful! as always.
So beautiful like always, thank you so much Becca you are amazing.
Ginette

Your designs are so elegant, so beautiful, so Wow! I know to create such beauty, you have to have all that elegance, and beauty inside you, and it just spills out into your cards, to bless our world, enticing us to at least try to come up to your world of creativity. There are no adaquate words to say what your cards do to my soul, to look at such beauty day after day! When ever I see there is a message from you it makes my day! I agree with all the others “Love you to Bits” Becca. Thank you for blessing my world.
