WRBF-3729-2012
Hi there blog friends!  I’m keeping my promise and I might add that I’m tickled to do so.  Not to long ago while I was away I made a sweet little box – and enclosed eight little cards.  It was so easy to make that it may be my go-to box instead of the 3″ x 3″ I normally make.  Well, I thank you for your patience, I finally sat down and made up more samples and filmed a video to walk you though it.  The box has lots of possibilities and even though the one I make in the video is the same as I made before, the one that I’m showing here has an alternative lid.  Once you watch the video, if you are interested in how to do this lid, it is the same except I glued the throwaway pieces from the die back into place.   The original post with my first box is at this link:  https://www.amazingpapergrace.com/box-of-blessings/

Here is the video:

My goodness, I haven’t done a video is so long, I had a little bit of relearning to do.  It won’t be so long for the next one, I promise.   See you soon!!

    Well maybe you feel you had a bit of relearning to do, but to me it sure looked like you had never done anything else, and the tutorial is so awesome as is this wonderful box here. I am certainly going to make some of these too, that´s for sure. They are so awesome and so beautiful and it´s such a wonderful little gift for someone, if you need a little something, and they seem really fast to make, so they fits just sooo perfect tome, as I´m often in the last minute with these things he he he. I love the result hun and have also already thought of a couple more, that could be made a bit like this too, so I´ll be busy here the next while, if we ever get these new dies it means LOL.
    Have a wonderful day hun and lots of fun as well.ReplyCancel

    Hi Becca,
    Well I’ve been away from blogland a while now but today I had to stop by and say ‘Wonderful’. Your cards, as always, are amazing but I so adore your little box. Such a innovative idea for using the die and a beautiful way to present a useful gift of notelets.
    Thank you for always sharing your wonderful ideas with us.

    Hi Becca, This tutorial is fantastic, it has inspired me so much that I have just pre-ordered the dies and embossing folder. What a brilliant notelet box, I will definitely be trying these to make for Fayres at Church.
    I must tell you that I received your Bow maker on Saturday and I watched your video and made my first Becca Bow yesterday afternoon, I can see this tool will be used on every card I make, such brilliant results. Thank you for the inspiration.
    Lots of love fromm Patricia xxReplyCancel

WRBF-3726-2012
Good morning blog friends!  Although my favorite card is 5 1/2″ by 7″ sometimes, it is absolutely delightful to make a smaller profile card.  Of course it becomes a ‘no-brainer’ when the card is easy ;-).  Well that’s what I have for you today.  I’m using one of the new decorative profile dies that lends itself very well to making small (to me) shaped card. Using Spellbinders™ Timeless Rectangles I simply cut with a fold at the top so that I have a hinge.  Next I cut the right sized rectangle to fit from Spellbinders™ 5×7 Matting Basics B and while still in the die stamped with a new JustRite Papercrafts background stamp – Antique Damask Background.  To set the sentiment (For All You Do Vintage Labels Threeapart from the background I added a little flourish element from Spellbinders™ Fleur de Lis Accents and popped the sweet rounded tag from Spellbinders™ Framed Tags One on top.  The final card is 4″ wide by 6″ tall.  Sweet and easy :-)
WRBF-3727-2012
Since this is a smaller sized card, I downsized my ribbon and went with 1/4″ silk ribbon by May Arts – I love the drape and a little multi-loop bow tied on the Becca’s Bow Maker makes the perfect sized embellishment.  Don’t get me wrong, I still love my wide ribbon but I have fallen in love with this smaller size.

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: JustRite Papercrafts – For All You Do Vintage Labels Three
Paper: Neenah Classic Crest – Natural White
Ink: Amuse – Ocean, Bermuda
AccessoriesSpellbinders™ Timeless RectanglesSpellbinders™ Fleur de Lis Accents, Spellbinders™ Framed Tags OneSpellbinders™ 5×7 Matting Basics B, May Arts Silk Ribbon, Recollections Half Pearl Stickers, Becca’s Bow Maker, Maya Roads Trinket Pin

Thanks so much for stopping by!  See you soon!!

  • Marcie SmithFebruary 23, 2013 - 11:21 pm

    Love these beautiful intricate dies for making cards. Gives so much interenst to the simplest design. Hinging is not a problem for me, but how do you emboss? When I open my card, I do not like the de-bossed side you get on the inside. Is there a trick to this Becca? I would love to see the inside of one of these cards to see how you finish off the inside.

    Such a beautiful card! Just wanted to tell you, I ordered two of your kits and absolutely love them. I recently had surgery and am still not driving (6 weeks) and have been having a ball playing! The surgery I had was my 2nd Heart Transplant. Yes, second. The wild thing is that I got the call for the new heart on the 20th Anniversary of the first heart Transplant. I believe God is sending me a message, at least in timing. Thank you for all your inspiration!!!ReplyCancel

WRBF-3684-2012
Good morning sweet blog friends!  I have a friend card to share with you today – can you ever have enough?  I’ve been good lately, taking the time to drop a card here and drop a card there, off in the mail.  Last year was such a busy year and I’ve missed many occasions – hard to believe isn’t it – there’s absolutely no shortage of cards here!!   That’s one of the things I vowed I would prioritize this year; I’m ever mindful that time passes quickly and you can’t get it back.  Resolutions, right?  It’s all good – I feel like I’m on track, how about you?  On to  my card for the day – my inspiration came from the center oval piece from this wonderful JustRite Papercrafts  stamp set called Special Gifts Labels Twenty Nine.  Precious!!

WRBF-3685-2012
I created my own card base for this card by starting with an 8.5″ x 5.5″ panel and cutting Spellbinders™ A2  Scalloped Borders One on one end.  I scored it a couple of inches back, leaving a 5.5″ x 6″ tall section after the score mark.  Then I added a 5.5″ x 6″ tall panel on the front securing it with adhesive just under the scalloped border.  On the card base I used Spellbinders™ Adorning Squares and stacked Spellbinders™ Floral Ovals on top followed by Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals Large.  Instead of letting the tails of the bow hang down, they are simply adhered to the inside the scalloped flap hides them so that they don’t show on the inside.  If you are ever discouraged in your cardmaking just remember the charm of a handmade card :-)

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: JustRite Papercrafts – Special Gifts Labels Twenty Nine
Paper: Neenah Classic Crest – Natural White, The Paper Company
Ink: Amuse – French Roast
AccessoriesSpellbinders™ A2  Scalloped Borders One,  Spellbinders™ Adorning Squares, Spellbinders™ Floral Ovals, Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals Large, May Arts Silk Ribbon, Recollections 0Half Pearl Stickers, filigree, pearl brad, Becca’s Bow Maker

Even though your gifts are picked out for that special loved one on Valentines Day, have you remembered yourself?  JustRite is having a special Pink Packaging Valentines Sale that you should take a peek at.   There are 17 sets that are on sale for 30% off. Check it out!!  With limited availability, the sale lasts until February 18th.  In addition, Retired Cling and Clear sets are now $10.00 ;-)

Thanks so much for stopping by friends you are all truly Special Gifts . . .

    Hi Becca

    Such a lovely card! I have also resolved to send my cards out in a more timely fashion rather than wait for the occasion/reason for sending them, to pass. Too often done in our busy lives!

    Thank you for this post! I have been frustrated lately that I cannot find paper long enough to make card bases bigger than 6 inches tall. I’ve actually done something similar to what you’ve done here but it was by trial and error and not nearly as professional looking. I love that I always learn something from your posts!ReplyCancel

    Aloha Becca — love LOVE LOVE your card! My goal is to be able to coordinate my brain and both hands, and the cardstock & embellies to some day, some day, SOME DAY create something near to as beautiful as this card. I showed my husband tonight, but I don’t think he realizes how important this goal is to me. BTW – was able to get some JustRite stamp sets on sale thanks to your heads up :D Been eye balling those 3 sets for so long, but the price was just too high. Thank you for announcing the sale <3
    Best wishes, peace — good health, RosyReplyCancel

    Becca, I went to type a message on your blog ‘A bit of news’ and it won’t let me on there, :( I’ve read your note and with sadness I’m so going to miss that special box of treats every month that I got my Amazing Paper Grace kit. Now I will be anxiously awaiting to see what door opens next for you and what beauties you will be show casing for all of us to see!!!
    Please, Please, Please keep on paper crafting and sharing with us, you are one very talented person who has touched my life thru your blog and I’m sure many others!!!
    May you continue to be Blessed by Gods hands.ReplyCancel

  • Joanne GarlandFebruary 13, 2013 - 8:29 pm

    I wish you well. My dear friend. I loe your kits and your beautiful creations. I got one of your wonderful kits and i love it! my budget just did not let me continue with them. Please continue to share your wonderful God Given talent and let us share in your wonderful inspiration… Thank you for all you give and do.
    Sending you all me hugs and God blessing’s for you to continue your wonderful talent!ReplyCancel

  • Lynette SadowyFebruary 13, 2013 - 8:34 pm

    Well, now I don’t feel so bad about just finishing the September Kit, at the rate I find time to do things, my other kits will keep me going for the rest of the year! I’m so sad that you are discontinuing the kits. They really were fabulous and I was able to use the ideas and the dies and stamps to make numerous other items that all came out beautifully thanks to your wonderful directions and inspiration….
    Perhaps with 500 of us willing to sign up for these someone will reconsider down the road, but in the meantime, I will continue to await your daily/weekly emails with your wonderful, inspiring work. God Bless you for sharing your amazing talents with each of us each week.ReplyCancel

  • Marcie SmithFebruary 13, 2013 - 9:27 pm

    Becca, I hope you still plan to design. You have a gift for it. I for one welcome you back to your blog. I have always enjoyed your beautiful designs and the personal touch you have always given to those of us who follow your blog for years now. So with that said, welcome back home Becca.
    Hugs,
    MarcieReplyCancel

  • Nancy LorenzFebruary 13, 2013 - 9:49 pm

    Oh Becca! I have so enjoyed the past several months getting the lovely designed kits. How I will miss your inspiration each month. You have so inspired me and I Looked so forward to seeing what you did with each kit. What can I do to help? I know I am just one person, but there must be something I can do or each of your 500 committed followers. I have been there since day 1.

    I tried to leave a message above, but it wouldn’t let me, so this is the best I can do.

    Please do not stop creating. God has given you such a wonderful creative gift and I hope that you will continue using it. I know paper crafting takes an anormous amount of time and energy. I do it myself and I am not near as creative as you. If you need someone to talk to please write me. I am a Chaplain and I know paper crafting as well as people and sometimes just bouncing things off someone is a good thing. I just want you to know that you have ladies out here that love creating with you, be it close or far away! We care. My email is —— and I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart!

    One question, are you going to continue a blog? Please let us know. Thank you so very much! NancyReplyCancel

    Becca, Am relatively new to your site and love it ! Am very new to your kit club and am VERY sorry that you are discontinuing it. I have only recieved three and have looked forward to their arrivals each month but now—now, I guess, I will follow your blog, which I have not done before, and be happy for you. But hope you change your mind in the future.ReplyCancel

  • EveleneFebruary 19, 2013 - 12:47 am

    I hope the Lord will continue to direct your path, and I’m sure whatever line of endeavor you will take on now and in the future, it is for your own best and His glory because He is the one who has endowed you with such a remarkable and amazing talent.ReplyCancel
