Have I told you lately how much I love the new Spellbinders Lg Octagon nestabilities…?
When I got my hands on them this is the first thing I made. Someone says octagon? I think of a stop sign. So I replicated one to put it on my card, a Valentines Day Card. This was seriously a fun, fun card to make. I’ve had this truck sitting on my desk for a month just screaming to be water colored!
The entire card opens from top to bottom where you can put another sentiment inside or leave it blank for writing. The stop sign itself is a mini card that opens left to right and is perfect for a gift card!! As I mentioned, I water colored this delightful truck then I used an alphabet set to stamp on the bottom of the card. Lastly I cut a small heart from the Spellbinders Scalloped Heart set and embossed the inside of the heart with a Versamark Pen and embossed with white embossing powder. The Stop letters are also added with a Spellbinders alphabet.

Very cute. Your watercolouring is awesome.
Wow!! This is way too cute! I’m sure it was fun to create :))
Stop the presses Becca this is seriously cute.
My white Chevy Silverado truck is now begging to be colored red! I suppose it’s possible its tired of just being muddy but I choose to think it wants in on the Valentine action. After all I fell in love with my husband in part because of his red Datsun wagon! – lol!
I tend to forget how cute the words can look spelled out with alphabet stamps instead of searching for the perfect text stamp! I love that each letter has a little random kittywumpus thing going on.

Oh my gosh is that ever cute!! And I love the little pin with the heart!!
hugs, Jami

What a cute card-love your design and the stop sign is clever. tfs
Very cute…..out of the box and different for you but it is perfect for my husband who has a red Dodge truck. I will be casing this I think.
Wow – you do cute just as well as you do elegant! A stop sign was EXACTLY what I thought of when I saw the name of the set but then I scrolled down and saw your beautiful medallion frame and felt very humble. And today you do the stop sign, LOL!
I have been trying to submit a question on the Q&A page, but the form to fill out a question is gone. Am I missing something or is it broken?
OH!! That is just too darn cute!!! I love it! :)
Gosh Becca, Where have I been? I knew you could do super elegant, but CUTE??…..I didn’t know you had it in you. LOL Keep up the good work! I love it. Linda
You are too much!! and too perfect!! and too creative!! and I love your valentine card! ‘Stop in the name of love’……that brings back great memories of some of my best years and I married that love!! 40 years of love in the back of that truck. yipee! Great card that I have to forward to my friends to see.
Good evening, Becca, what a wonderful card- quite “modern” for you, if I may say so but very striking, nevertheless. Love that little pin and the little mini “Stop” card.
Darling! Just positively darling!!! :)
OMGosh………that is just the cutest Valentine card! I love it!!!!
You do such amazing cards, Becca! Keep up the good work!!!
This card is so, so cute! Now, I’m singing this song.
Well, could I honestly say that I would pick this one out of a crowd and know it’s yours? Nope. But, it is unique, and bold, and creative, and over-the-TOP awesome… so I certainly SHOULD know it’s yours! LOL! You rock Becca, totally ROCK!
Becca, very cute!!! So creative and clever!
Joan
