Hi there blog friends. I’m so excited to be the Guest Blogger over on the Spellbinders Blog today, I was tickled that they did a little interview! Please be sure you do hop over to the Spellbinders blog – you can win the die templates I used for this project by clicking on the contest link at the bottom of their blog post – and I’d love it if you gave the folks over there a shout out for all the beautiful dies they’ve created for us to play with :-) Today I chose to do a project featuring one of my favorite new die templates Spellbinders A2 Valiant Honor and embellished it with a set that should be a staple in your ‘stash’, Spellbinders Font One – Uppercase. I was fortunate enough to reveal A2Valiant Honor last month and I made this ensemble along with all the others items I previewed in THIS POST. My mind was racing with so many ideas for this die template, so I saved this one for a point in time that I could do a step by step tutorial. It’s an easy project – I took plenty of pictures so that you can see exactly how it goes together. You can click on any of the pictures to make them larger. Also, jump over to my Pinterest Boards to download the tutorial as a pin – – – – >HERE
The set includes four monogrammed cards.
Box measures 4″ wide by 5-3/4″ tall and 1-1/4″ deep
The individual cards measure 4″ wide by 5-1/8″ tall
| CRAFT SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: None Craft Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Natural White (80lb), Bazzill Ink: Victorian Velvet Distress Ink, Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink Accessories: Spellbinders Font One – Uppercase, Spellbinders A2 Valiant Honor Recollection Pearls, Ranger Inkssentials Glossy Accents, Grand Calibur Die Cut Machine |

So Grateful to you for your God given Talent.
God Bless you,

This is really beautiful!
Also, I am sorry for my last couple of posts, it is just that I am desperately trying to find some encouragement. And your cards are so lovely that I would love a set of them for myself. Or from any card maker.
I’ll be praying for you and I hope your situation turns out for the good, hun.
I know that you are super busy but it would seriously tickle me to no end to receive a card from you as hun, you are my inspiration as a person led by God as you have risen above so many trials and obstacles and have made a name for yourself. I truly feel like God led me to you for a reason but I do not know why just yet.. I love your character and your inner strength. You are truly a beautiful Lady inside and out.
Hi Becca,
These are beautiful, love the design and composition, love the Justrite Ribbon & Swags, will have to look out for them.
Love & Hugs

Becca you are so right your card making style is “elegant” pure and simple. I just love what you do with a set of dies and this one is incredible, Thank you for showing me so many ways to use our dies and make our cards just that much better than what I would have done.
Hugs Trish.
Hi Becca

Not only beautiful and elegant, but the tutorial makes it seem so easy.
Becca you never disappoint and ALWAYS wow us with your style. Im still making the last set of boxed cards you did a tutorial on. These are just

I have only one word for this!
“WOW”

Hugz Kath…x…
Wow Becca what a beautiful card and the dies are just awesome!
Beautiful… no gorgeous…no fabulous…well I just can’t find the words to say how lovely these are! I do love these beautiful dies. But, then, I love all SB’s dies. lol I enjoyed the little ‘interview’ on their blog. And that is a fabulous picture of you. They are lucky to have you on their team, as you always create something beautiful. Thanks Jess
Wow, this notecard set is absolutely amazing!!! Thank you for the tutorial and as always, thank you for the inspiration!!! You are a blessing in many ways!! Mwaah!
What an elegant project. Thanks for the very detailed tutorial. That helps so much. Valiant Honor has been on my wish list since you reveal. Love the possibilities with the Font set too.
What a gorgeous project in your always elegant style! Thanks too for another of your wonderful tutorials. I loved reading your interview and seeing your pretty face – that is a great photo.
Another absolutely gorgeous, elegant project, Becca. Thank you for the inspiration. I can see this as a lovely little gift for a friend.
Dianne
WOW Becca this is a stunning card love the new die set but will have to go on my must have list it’s so elegant. Thank you for the tutorial
Hugs Lynda xx
This is a stunning and beautiful set. I love the letter set. You are right, .The base looks like a staple to have in your set for card making. Spellbinders is so fortunate to have your gift of designing treasures from their dies.
Beautiful set and thank you for your tutorial!! I also want to tell you how touching your story about Bailey was to me. I had a similar dog for 15 years who did all the same things as your Bailey. She passed away shortly before Thanksgiving but we were blessed by her even with her imperfections. Amber, too, became my husband’s bedside companion through cancer and a very successful liver transplant two years ago. She was devoted to us in ways that still amaze us, and yet, she was also skittish around others. She was never aggressive, ever, but she needed to be with us constantly – room to room if need be…We did get a new little girl, Maggie, three weeks later despite being told to wait 6 months. Maggie found me actually one day as I was longing to feel the fur of another dog and a trip to the pet store put her in my sights. I did wait three weeks to be sure but my heart would not let her go and so we begin again… isn’t that the way with all things? Your story was so beautifully told and only reaffirmed that our fur babies do more for us than we often realize. I am so glad your story had a happy ending..in fact, I don’t think it could have ended any other way. xxx
Your card set & box is so very pretty and what a lovely gift it would be… It’s also something I think most crafters could do especially with the tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing. I also enjoy reading your interview with Spellbinders…
Another lovely set, you sure know how to use your Nesties dies, and make nice things with them, you are always thinking out side the box.
Very beautiful. Thanks for the tutorial. I would like to make this for a friend who is recovering from major surgery. She is very crafty and would love it. It is so exciting to get your blogs nearly every day.
Becca, I just read your post from yesterday! I’m so happy that you and your family got Bailey back! It’s proof perseverance pays off. You and your daughter stuck with it and the end result is wonderful!! Yes, we do learn something from everything we go through. The card you sent your daughter was perfect! Bless you both!
What a beautiful project, and a great tutorial. Thank you for sharing your beautiful creations you have such an amazing blog that keeps me quiet for hours, I hope one day I will be able to do anything half as good as you, keep up the good work and please keep on sharing.
Thanks again

This one I want to do exactly as you have it.Soooo I guess i know what I want for my birthday in April. tee hee. You have a unigue signature in your creations.

What a fabulous gift set and again, you have showcased the dies to perfection.
I have several Spellbinders font sets which I use so often – and in fact just made a card with one set last night. I’m so pleased that those who don’t have any will now have the opportunity to buy.
Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing and setting out a tutorial for us.

So beautiful Becca!
This card set is beautiful. Thank you so much for the tutorial on how you
made it. I especially loved the story of your amazing Bailey. You are all
blessed to have each other! Looking forward to being amazed by your
talent on your next up coming project.
Becca,
LOVE IT!!! would you PLEASE consider doing a video tutorial for this?
Thanks & blessings
Becca,
This card set is fabulous! I hopped over to you interview and I enjoyed it, too. Thank you, for continuing to inspire us. Cynthia
All I can say again – is WOW!!
Oh Becca, your cards are always so beautiful and elegant. I love how you help those of us who are artistically challenged with the tutorials. With your help, I can make some beautiful cards too. Thanks for sharing.
I think the card you made for your daughter after Bailey was found is one of the most beautiful you have ever made! I love the roses, lace, and sentiment as well as the dies. I”m so happy you found Bailey. I love animals and I think a lot of people underestimate the love, wisdom and understanding that they have.
Wow!! Really Beautiful card set!! The box is awesome!!
Again, you never fail to impress. Loved the Spellbinder interview. Congratulations !
Elegant is a word I always associate with your creations. Thank-you for the tutorial!
These are stunning Becca! Thank you for the clear tutorial too.
Hi Becca, I love these new dies and I love your box and cards, stunning, absolutely stunning. Thank you for the tutorial, I will be trying this, and thank you for the heads-up with Spellbinders Blog, I would love to win these dies.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Absolutely gorgeous! You made sure a beautiful box, love these dies!
Beautiful! Thanks for the nice step by step tutorial.
Spellbinders does a wonderful job on their dies and they give us a large
variety to choose from. Thanks for all the hard work and thanks to Becca
for all the inspiration.
Wow! Just WOW! Thanks, Becca!
Hi Becca,
Your box set is absolutely stunning.You are a very talented lady! Also a lovely human being! What a story about Bailey! So often this world is marked by selfishness rather than selflessness. Thank you for a heart warming story.
God Bless,
Love Myra
This is so beautiful and elegant.
Thanks for the tutorial.
Gr Elly
Such a pretty design!!
Becca, these are exquisite! I love that your directions are so clear and understandable. Not sure I can wait until March to try this, so I may substitute some dies I already own for the Valiant Honor and see how it works out. Thanks so much!
More beauty produced from the talented Becca-thanks for sharing your lovely creations.
Beautiful cards in a lovely box. And with an easy to follow tutorial! Thank you, Becca!! This is a delightful project!
Beautiful card. Been a fan of your work… Wow… Lovely
Exquisite! These are just too priceless to use! I would just look at them all day!! Thanks for the step by step tutorial! Loved your beautiful photo on the SB blog!
Gorgeous card set. Love how you did this. Fabulous step by step tutorial and thanks for thatl
Absolutely stunning and classy. Monograms make these perfect for any occasion. Great use of these versatile dies. TFS your wonderfully-detailed tutorial!
Becca, thank you so much for taking the time to make this beautiful detailed tutorial and sharing your card. Loved reading the Spellbinders post.
Hi Becca,
Since you were the first designer to offer any of the new CHA release dies and this was one of them, I pre-ordered along with a bunch of the other ones. If I win this, I will send to my Sis as I got her addicted to Spellbinders when I visited 2 years ago. This set is so awesome and rather easy as well. Can’t wait until mid March when these come in. You are so lucky to have all of everything that comes up in your stash!!!!! Some how with the busyness of the weekend I didn’t get to post on this one….so doing a blurb today. Have a wonderful week, hon.
Hugs

Beautiful, thanks for sharing, love the monogram idea with the alphabet, have both sets and still didn’t think of doing that with them…. duh :)
Hi Becca. What a stunning project….. such a classic style and I love the soft colourway. These dies are already on my wish list and this is something I will be making for sure.
I’ve checked out the Spellbinder blog post and left a message and loved your cover photo…. Thanks for all the inspiration you so freely give.
Hugs
