Do you know about 31 Days?
Hi there blog friends! You all rock! I mean it! What a great start you’ve given to the 31 Days feature. While I should have been busy creating, I was sitting right here reading your tips. Amazing!! Pace yourselves though, I hope there’s steady contribution of ideas all month. Well, I actually sat here a little bit too long and once I was off to the studio there was time to make a quick card. I’m using one of the new Our Daily Bread Designs sets called Anchor.
I simply love all the new Fancy Tags that were put out by Spellbinders. I think they give so many layering possibilities and I tried one here. I’m using Spellbinders Labels Twenty 0ne however I tucked two different tags from Spellbinders Fancy Tags Three behind it and then layered in on a larger cut layer of Labels Twenty One. For the shading on the die cut I simply kept my paper in the die and sponged on color. Simple, no?

Keep those tips coming in! I’ll see you soon!
Good Morning Becca
I love this card the ribbon/bow affect and the fancy tags 3, Wow wee.
the quote is a great thought for me to start this day. Thank you again for sharing, I look forward to checking out your site daily.
Have a blessed day!
Spectacularly stunning – I don’t know what else to say about this beautiful card!
Greetings, Becca
Your site is the first one I check every day. You always have such beautiful designs! I love the ribbon treatment on today’s card, as well as the way you combined the different fancy tags. I love those dies. They’re so delicate looking. And, the sentiment you used is one of my favorites! Once again, thank you for sharing your creativity/talent with us. I’m a visual person (learner), and seeing your beautiful designs helps me so much (although I have to admit that I’ve never created anything near as beautiful as you)!
Becca,
I believe that because of all the outstanding ways you’ve used the Spellbinders dies to layer cards, the company must have started designing them with you in mind. Though there are many designers with beautiful ideas to make cards with the Spellbinders out there, it seems that no one layers cards as elegantly, or as intricately as do you! Thank you for so many, many variations.
This particular card reminds me of the way the rays of sunshine come through the clouds after a storm.
Love it!

Gorgeous, Becca.
Stunning card Becca. I love the way you pair different nesties together for such an elegant look! I think I really needed to read that quote today…help me keep my eyes looking up!
Hugs,
Barb
I absolutely LOVE your Riding Out the Storm card, especially how you did the ribbon. The colors are beautiful and so are the shaped Nesties.
As always “beautiful”

Becca ~ I LOVEEEEE your cards. So beautiful! And once you explain what you’ve done….so simple! Thank you for sharing your God-given talents.
This is a stunner, Becca! An absolutely beautiful card with one amazing sentiment.
When new items come into your stamping room, get them settled in before working on a project – even if it is in progress. Get all items into your organization , modifying if necessary. I always say “It fits. I guess it was OK to buy.” Piles of unopened products aren’t ready to use and may get lost. Handling them nudges your memory when you need to pull something to use and eliminates the time barrier of having to open before using. Helps prevent buying repeats if you see your supplies regularly. Finally, for me , it is the thank you to God for giving me these fun “toys” to enjoy. Being a good steward is important to me and the putting away process is a celebration of thanks.
What a beautiful card. It’s awesome!
So gorgeous Becca! I can’t wait to get my hands on the new Spellbinders!!! I love this sentiment, don’t you? So comforting!
Becca- You never cease to Amaze me. You are such a blessing.
I do ‘covet’ your bow making abilities, but by your tutorials I can do them.
Thank you for being an inspiritation. I craft with seniors affected by dementia and love gathering ideas to see them smile. God bless.
gorgeous card. love the dp how lacey it kind of looks and the quote/sentiment. God doesn’t always answer our prayers the way we want but He will always be there with us no matter what.

You call this card simple?You have such an eye for layering your Spellbinder dies. I guess ones you figure out that part the card becomes simple?I have now this guessing game going on when I open your blog and look at a new card of yours. I am not going down to look which dies you used or stamps but try to guess first and figure it out myself. It is not easy at all…..but fun! I love this stamp set very much.
beautiful! love the ribbons looking like rays of sun.

Like others on here I think you have wonderful vision to be able to mix and match these beautiful dies. I have noticed that some of your cards only need a very few elements to make it look spectacular because of your vision. You are a very talented lady indeed and very kind to share your inspiration with us all.
Take care, LOL Eileen in U.K.
Beautiful use of the dies, great quote!
your creativity is outstanding as it shows on all your cards that you do.
Love the verse and the ribbon arrangement on the card as well as the greaat colors choosen.

I really like the card you made and I like the color you pick out and I really love the saying you put on the card. Thank you for sharing.
Have a great day :)

Your card is very pretty today Becca, the way you have arranged the ribbon it looks like rays os sunshine. I love the DP very pretty. How true the sentiment. As always Becca,TFS!!! :-D
Beautiful card, Becca! Love how you arranged the ribbon. The paper is gorgeous. Sentiment is perfect and love those Spellbinders! Thank you so much for sharing.
This is so beautiful! It means so much to me! My beloved son passed away on Jan 1, 2011 at the age of 33 and I’m here to tell you that the Lord is here riding out the storm w/my husband and I!!! I praise Him for it even though, of course we prayed desparetly for the outcome to be different; He is here carrying us through. Right now, the footprints in the sand is only 1 set. I ask for anyone who will to please pray for us through this. The shock and numbness is wearing off and the pain is so bad! Thank you!!! Carolyn
Becca, your talent amazes me every day. Thanks for all the ways you inspire us.
Carolyn, sorry for your loss and I will add you to my prayer list.
Lovely card as usual, Becca. My hint today is to try to have cards made up ahead of time, especially sympathy cards so you can go on with your *head ideas* each day as you are wanting to.
I love the sentiments you use on your cards. They do many a lot to many, many people that stop by to read. It helps to start the day off with one of your cards.
Gorgeous layering once again. I love the color combo and paper on this card as well. Sentiment is also really nice.
Marcie
A quick card??
Oh so much better than any of mine that take a day to produce :o)
Beautiful!
Hugs, Candy
Carolyn – keeping you and your DH tucked in my heart and will keep you in my prayers as well.
I can’t tell you how sorry I am to hear of the loss of your young son….
Your card is so beautiful! Thanks for sharing another beautiful creation with us!
Very pretty Becca….I too want to send you a tip, but think I’ll wait a bit – LOL!
Jan
The colors are wonderful, and as always Becca so is you creation….
Oh this is beautiful and those ribbons also remind me of when you get a break in the clouds and you almost get a ray of light from the the sun. It’s almost magical. You never ever disappoint me Becca.
Love Sheila xx
Oh Becca this is beautiful. I love the colour combo – I don’t know how you do it every time!!!!!!!!!!.

I am thankful that God has blessed me with children and grandchildren to love and a wonderful craft that I can use to express that love to the special people in my life. Thank you for your beautiful blogs.
I am thankful for children and grandchildren to love and a medium to express that love to all the special people in my life. I am also thankful for sites like yours that give me so many ideas and help me express that love.
Started making Cards at 80 and now at 83 I’m still trying to make a Bow as lovely as the ones you make-your cards are so beautiful-it inspires me to keep trying. i know I can ! Iknow I can ! I know I can ! “BIG GRIN”
Just Beautiful as always…you are such an inspiration both in card making and your positive attitude….I am so grateful to have found your site and so look forward to each and every post…..Thank Becca
Love all your cards and your thoughts
Love your cards, and seeing a new one almost every day. I have to send mine through the mail so I don’t get to use your beautiful bow ideas. Plan to try the bow tie one you made recently. Thanks
so sorry for your loss ,my prayers are with you and family.Just wanted you to know in my book you ROCK
This card says it all. You have a dp. faith and it shows in your cards that you post. Some I have used for a sympathy card and it was so well received by the person who needed it at the time.
May God go with in the future in your posting of cards.
Beautiful card Becca. One tip I use: My biggest challenge is coming up with the idea or design for a card. After I overcome that hurdle, I usually make several cards all at once. After all, they are being sent to different folks. I make one copy on my printer and write the names of who I sent to, the date, and what occasion and keep in a looseleaf binder. This is especially helpful in sympathy cards as I have one design I love to send. This isn’t for the “artist” cardmaker who comes up with ideas so easily, but for the rest of us who are challenged in that area, but still want to show others we care.
So very pretty the ribbon looks like rays of sun
Beautiful Card, as always.
I am grateful for: a family that loves and values me and that I love and value.
A country that always seems to rise from the ashes
Countrymen who rush to the aid of other when disaster strikes
Friends who just are….friends.
The G-d who makes all of the above possible.
Be well,
Chana
I just wanted to say thank you so much to all of you for your prayers!! They mean so much!! Carolyn
WE ALSO LOST A SON AT 30 VERY SUDDENLY 11 YEARS AGO AND
IT STILL HURTS.. THERE ARE SO MANY REMINDERS IN LIFE THAT MAKE YOU THINK OF HIM. BUT WITH GOD LIFE IS EASIER TO LIVE.
LOVE AND ENJOY EACH PERSON AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU
MIGHT NOT HAVE THEM.
