The Magic of A Smile

Card Making Ideas by Becca Feeken using Quietfire Design and Spellbimders Majestic Labels One
Hiya Friends!  Jumping in to share a card after being MIA for a bit.  April is passing so quickly but since the last time I was here, the flu bug, spring fever, cleaning (everything), conquering clutter and some home renovations we’re all vying for my attention.  I surrender – with the exception of the flu bug I had, I loved the change of pace and have a couple of ‘wins’ to my credit.   I’m sharing a card today using a sweet sentiment from Quietfire Design called A Smile That You Send Out  I used Spellbinders Antique Corner to create filigree accents on two corners of my card.  Then I threaded some satin ribbon on the diagonal and embellished it with a bow then nestled Spellbinders Majestic Labels One in the center.   A couple of pearls to finish it all off!WRBF-4253-2014

Card Dimensions: 6″ x 6″

CRAFT SUPPLIES I USED

Craft Paper: Neenah Classic Crest – Natural White – 80 lb, PaperTrey Ink

Loving every second I get to spend outdoors right now!  I hope you are savoring spring too!

    Good morning Becca,
    What a beautiful card you have made for our delight today and with a beautiful colour of ribbon across it. You have been missed when you went off the radar, so i hope a part from the flu you are all sorted and we can see your wonderful creations once more. Take care and i hope you are having a fantastic day,
    Love and crafty hugs

    Love this card…so prettyReplyCancel

  • Clare WApril 17, 2014 - 5:06 am

    Love this – it’s a must try! so eye catching and love the diagonal ribbon. I met Sue Wilson at Ally Pally in London on Saturday and we chatted about you and your amazing bows – were your ears burning? – I am trying to find your bowmaker and DVD here in the UK – I’ve tracked down the UK supplier but they dont have any and dont know when they will be getting any more – boohoo – please can you shed any light on this? Yesterday I tied my first tripple using organza ribbbon – it’s’ not perfect (like yours are) but I think with a bit more practice and attention to detail I could get there or at least something passable! Happy easter and hope you are feeling much better – the flu bug can take quite a while to fully recover from – so take it easy for a while – ha!ReplyCancel

  • DarcydaydreamApril 17, 2014 - 6:48 am

    Hi Becca,
    Sorry to hear you’ve been unwell and I trust you are feeling a lot better! What a beautiful card! I, like everyone else, love what you have done with the ribbon! Will have to give that a go!
    We have had lovely sunshine here and that showed all the dirt on the inside of my windows! So I’ve been cleaning windows like someone possessed! Hope it makes me thinner!
    Wishing you and your family a very Happy Easter.
    God Bless,
    Love MyraReplyCancel

    Elegant and classy as usual! I do love your work, and I wish I could afford to have all those Spellbinder dies and transform all my work into works of art. However, the going outside to spend time is not happening just yet where I live…maybe in another few weeks I’ll be able to venture out there for longer than it takes to get into the car!ReplyCancel

    I got a chance to work with Linda Strawn in Ashton, Idaho and we had a grand time following some of your wonderful tutorials. Now I am at home in American Fork, Utah. I will be following you on my own. For some reason, I think you live pretty close to me. Answer only if you care to, of course. I am an 81 year old Grandma who has been blessed to “stamp, ETC.” for 20 years. Thank you for all you do for all of us. Sincerely, MaryCarolyn StoyReplyCancel

    Oh, this card is sooo girlie! It’scheerful. I’d savor Spring more if it was actually Spring here. Sadly, the door on my car was iced shut and my friend living north of the Twin Cities got 9 inches of snow. Thanks, I really needed girlie, cheerful today!ReplyCancel

  • Yvonne NicholsonApril 17, 2014 - 7:50 pm

    Hi Becca,
    Missed you, but the wait is such a beautiful card ,you sure know how to just use ribbons and a few die cuts and you come up with some thing so lovely.. I wish spring would come still lots of snow, and we got some more on Tuesday but this weekend its to be a little warmer so should melt some of it.
    Have a great weekend and a nice Easter.ReplyCancel
