Hi there blog friends! Popping in quick to share a card with you. This is one of my very favorite Quietfire Design quotes called Fill Your Paper. I swoon over this Prima paper and I’ve actually done a card using the 12 x 12 version of the paper, but I have the small pad too and the patterns and flowers are just so sweet and petite. My focal panel uses paper from the smaller 6 x 6 pad; I think this paper is absolutely dreamy. On the left of the quote I used a very elegant Quietfire Design Flourishes.
You caught me pleating paper again, lol!! This time I plunked down a half circle and matted it using Spellbinders Parisian Motifs for a rounded border. At the center of the pleating I used an element from Fleur de Lis Accents to pull my ribbon through before I tied my bow. On the right edge of the card I used the bottom dotted edge of the Fleur de Lis Accents border – it makes such a nice emboss dotted line to border off the right side. Zva Creative Pearls and Glimmer Mist dyed seam binding finish the job for me.
Sweet . . . the card I had in mind was so close to what’s running for Mojo Monday 178 that I aimed it in that direction. I have not played along in so long, but I’m playing today!!
HOW IT’S MADE |
1. Make Card Base – mine is 5½”x7½” |
SUPPLIES I USED |
Stamps: Quietfire Design – Fill Your Paper, Flourishes |
Be good to yourself today! See you soon!!
Absolutely breathtaking! Lots of detail and gorgeous embellishments.
Love the way you used half of a circle to pleat! The pearls make it
ever so rich.
As always, well done! :)
WOW; seems there are not enough descriptive words to express your ingenious creativity, Becca! I’m always amazed when I click here! This card, that paper, that sentiment, your folded half circle and those pearls — WOW!
I am being nice to myself today — slept in this AM, ate my not-quite-heart-shaped pancake my Hubby made me, still in jammies at the breakfast bar blog hopping my way around the paper crafty world. Suppose I must get dressed before lunch?!!! LOL!!!
Sending my thoughts/prayers this Valentine’s Day, Becca. God bless you!
Such a beauty! I love that paper also!
Oh my gosh Becca! Another lovely design! Such talent! TFS
Ah Becca… another stunning card. Wow…and the paper is wonderful topped with your beautiful extra embellishments along with Quietfire Design Stamps.

Wow, Becca, this is absolutely scrumptious! Love the quote too, and that paper is so yummy! You did an awesome job on this, as always!
You are AMAZING!!! Becca!
So sweet…how ever did you get those pearls so perfectly round on your card…are they on a piece of plastic?

Awesome card. Love the pearls!
Hey Becca,
I just love your new card! The fan is so fun and pretty. I envy how you put so many different elements together!
Gorgeous card today, Becca. Not that that is unusual, but it’s not often that you use patterned paper. When you do you have the most lovely DP! Also like the pleated 1/2 circle and the ribbon pulled through a Spellbinders Die. You’re always thinking! Also wanted to tell you that I like the Becca Bit on the Angel Pins.

Absolutely stunning. I love that Prima paper and all the swirly, pleaty, pearly, accenty details! Wow!

Very clever and beautifully accented half circle….this is a stunning use of the accordian fold….I’m wondering: “how does she come up with these day after day like that??”

Beatiful and amazing card .
Gorgeous card, gorgeous paper.
Delicious details on your card!
I don’t know how you manage to get your Zva creations from a-b to well. Mine seem to want to bobble up all together when I try. Perhaps there’s a Becca Bit in there someday?
Thanks for sharing!
Amazing, as always. How can you do such fine intricate work like placing all those beads on all the folds. Fantastic.
Your work is simply terrific and I love that you are so generous in sharing your ideas and techniques.
I am thankful that I can look out my window as I type this and see wild turkeys roaming our fields!
What a spectacular card. I had almost forgotten about stamping a sentiment right over the beautiful flower paper.It looks great!
Karen
Your card is wonderful,! I like how you made the accordian collar only half…Hugs.
Beautiful Becca! It makes me long for spring! Especially today when it raining and blowing… Thank you so much for using the rubber!
beautiful card those pearls look like they’re floating love it.
So spectacular!! I just love your cards!!!
another stunner, and the sentiment fits you to a T love it and holding you in my prayers.
You keep adding on to you giveaway, are you going to have anything left for yourself. I have been doing some cleaning in my sewing/craft room. If I don’t go through once in awhile I forget what I have and get inspiration from some of what I find that I had forgotten about.
WOW, this card is a dream. Wonderful!
Annette
Today I am grateful for your constant inspiration. I have a card I haven’t quite finished and the fan will be perfect– and I hadn’t thought of it.
I love the button jar. Especially the attached spoon. My sister loves buttons of any kind and it would make a great gift idea for her.
I have a bow maker from Joann’s. It big but it will work for now.
Becca, Your talent is amazing.
