Do you all remember an old song from the 60’s – I’m Gonna Make You Love Me? I had to laugh because I have a die template that’s been sitting on my desk that I wanted to love but I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do with it. Every time I’d make a card, it would get into my “let’s try this” pile only to be weeded out because I wasn’t sure where to use it. Well this weekend that little die template just kept saying ‘I’m gonna make you love me’ and honestly, by the time I was done with it, all I could think was “yep, I do”. As I put the bow on the card today, that song keeps going through my mind (smile)!! I reached out for a new Quietfire Design set We Do Not Remember Days – it fit perfectly in the space I carved out for a sentiment!!
So for this card, I prepared my card base (saving the bow for last) including the corner pieces from Spellbinders™ Asian Accents. Then I built another layer using Spellbinders™ Floral Oval and finished off by using Spellbinders™ Jar Labels. Before attaching the last layer, I used Spellbinders™ Diamond Strips and Accents to cut an inlaid pattern on the existing die template cut out and finished up by stamping the first of a two part sentiment. Once all the edges were tucked under on the die template, I embellished with pearls.
I rarely decorate the inside of my cards because I leave room for writing a letter or note. This time though, since the sentiment is set up so nicely to use in two different places, I stamped the remainder of the sentiment on the inside on a panel using Spellbinders™ Resplendent Rectangles.

YIKES! Am I really the first to comment? As I quickly write this, there is surely someone racing right along with me. Alas, all I can say is what I always say when I see one of your beauteous cards…GORGEOUS…again.
Becca, you truly do inspire me.
Another beautiful card. Love the fold and tuck element on this card.
This is another card so beautifully made, Becca. I feel more indebted to you for your generous and loving way of sharing your wonderful creations with us. Each day for me is a blessing whenever I pop in to view your works.
Wow — this is beyond gorgeous. Love those diamonds and the way the sentiment fit in so well. Thanks Becca!
Beautiful card. Love the diamond-shaped cutouts.
Absolutely beautiful card Becca. Everything just fits together perfectly and your bow is wondrous!
I love stopping by to see your cards Becca. I have 3 favourite card-makers and you’re one of them.
Becca, this is absolutely stunning!!! God blessed you with such a talent!!!
Becca this card has to make you love the dye very well done. In my mail yesterday I got your first kit and can’t wait to dig into it this weekend.
Be well keep up with the great cards
That really is so true. I think of the song, “Memories” by Barbra Stristain, (probably misspelled) and everytime I hear the words , I always think how close to the truth the words to this song really are. A beautiful card, my ciber friend. Well done God bless…… Denice
A gorgeous card Becca!! I have dies and stamps too that beg me to put them to good use. This should be the week I try!
You work so well done.You are such a master for me. I always learn the beautiful with you.
Merci beaucoup! You are so precious for me.
Gorgeous! Love how you create such beautiful cards with layers of die cuts and, of course, scrumptious ribbons!! You are a blessing!!!
Everything you do is so delicate looking – this card included- beautiful thanks for sharing Becca
Becca: What a work of art!!!! You are so inspiring to me. Love the scalloped look on different layers and the two colors, so pastel looking.
Love the cut and tuck dies (i only have one grrrr in a circle) need to buy more.Think i have to try something like this card as it looks as if you have spent hours on it lol Your secret is safe with me hehe.
Fabulous job again Grace, Smashing colour too xx
Your many layers are always so stunning! I really enjoy the very fine mat borders that you so often have. Just enough to show the beautiful colors, but not enough to overshadow what is on top of them. So delicate and elegant!
Shellee
Love it. So creatively done!
Very lovely. The tuck and fold element is very attractive with the beautiful bow, too. The inside sentiment is just perfect.
Your card is stunning!
My first kit came in the mail yesterday and I plan on working on it this weekend. Am anxious to try to follow instructions. God bless.
So beautiful and so elegant. Thanks again for sharing, Becca.
Simply gorgeous!! Love that diamond pattern.
Creative Wishes,
SO LOVELY BECCA!!!!!!!! (I JUST finished a card this evening the same color as yours! :) ) There’s just SOMETHING about that Pink! :) LOVE YOUR CARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
I haven’t found a die I don’t like YET … especially when I see what you have created with it.
Just beautiful Becca. you always come up with wonderful designs.
I had a chance to do a little stamping today that was nice. Have a great evening.
This is awesome Becca, what a die. I wasn’t sure about this one, but sure do like what you did with your design. Always inspired with your creations….hugs and smiles…..thanks for sharing your thought and wonderful talent.

Beautiful! I love the new diamond strips die too! Your cards are always such an inspiration! Thanks
Beautiful creation!
I have all those Spellbinders dies on my ‘list’ – and I will slowly purchase them when the budget allows.. I love this card, Becca – colors and the sentiment, too.
thank you for sharing with us!
hugs
Gorgeous card. Love how you used the diamond access in another die. Looks great and I like that sentiment. TFS
What a pretty and delicate card! The sentiment settles so well within the diamond borders……
My first kit came in the mail and I’m so bummed. I’m heading out of the town for the weekend! All the items are removed from their packages and I’m loving the papers, trims, stamps and the new die! Can’t wait till the trip is over so I can PLAY!
Thanks, Becca, for sharing your art and heart-felt thoughts. God Bless!
I am visiting my family in Ohio and one of the first things we did was go to Michael’s for my neice to buy a Grand Calibur. I brought all of my dies with me and my neice and sister were in awe. We have been cutting since Sunday night until the wee hours.
This is just another masterpiece from your most talented hands.My neice just asked me how she can sign up to get your blogs. Guess she is impressed as much as her aunt is. LOL She is very artistic like you so it did not surprise me that she wanted to sign up for your blog. You just have that magical touch and talent that impresses everyone who sees your work..
God Bless.

I recieved my September APG kit! So excited! Thanks! TAC
Beautiful and love the quote. Edna
Many thanks as you’re such an inspiration and great motivator. You have hit it out of the ballpark with this card. The tuck and fold technique makes it very elegant and something I can’t wait to try. The placement of the pearls and the bow pulls this design together. Blessings!
Reminds me of smocking…
I haven’t used one of those templates in a very long time.
Okay!!! Have you considered competing in the CARD MAKING OYLMPICS? I’d be sure to find out the outfits they’ll make you wear

Becca, thank you for such a BEAUTIFUL card and always for the abundance of wonderful inspiration. Carol x
I always enjoy seeing the projects you post. So many times you end up using a technique or product that I didn’t even know about. Spellbinders was very smart to have you on their DT!
What a beautiful card, love all the pink!!!
Beautiful!!! Love the design!
Lovely, lovely… as always. Now that you’ve done a stamp set, and the card kit, how about a book? It would be a bestseller, for sure!
How true that statement is! We do remember the moments that touch our lives. Thank goodness for you and your gifts! You give me great moments all the time!
Becca, this card is stunning, the baby pink paper, the diamond cutting, the sentiment, all glorious and so you! Thankyou for sharing!
Great card. I just got back from vacation and waiting at the PO was a package from AmazingGrace! Wow! What a kit. I have no idea if I will be able to reproduce your creation, but everything’s there, for sure! I can’t wait to see what you come up with each month. Thank you so much!
Ooo, Becca. This card is a *spectacular* assemblage of elements. Absolutely beautiful. Thanks so much for using the stamp! Less thanks, though, for putting that song in my head!!!!
Beautiful card for a beautiful sentiment.
I love your cards! I am returning to stamping after having been physically impaired for quite awhile. However, I have followed your tutorials, etc. with great interest and appreciation. This morning I found out you live in Pleasant Grove! Oh, my goodness, I live in American Fork…in fact, I live very near the road which is American Fork on one side and Pleasant Grove on the other. Thank you, thank you for all that you put on the site. It will make it even more interesting to know you live near. Aren’t the red leaves spilling down our mutual mountains spectacular. They come further down each day. We live in a glorious area. Sincerely MaryCarolyn
BECCA THIS IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE CARDS THAT YOU
USUALLY MAKE. IF I DIDNT SEE YOUR NAME AND REMARKS ON IT
I WOULD NOT BELIEVE YOU MADE IT. AS FOR MY BROKEN HIP, I
HAVE ONLY 3 MORE WEEKS BEFORE I CAN GET UP AND WALKING
AGAIN. THANK GOODNESS FOR CARD MAKING HOBBY.
CYNTHIA
very pretty. Love your use of this stamp. Like the way you used the cut & tuck. Have a great day
I am glad that you have found such a fabulous way to love your die, I’m sure he appreciates it very much! ;)
This card is beautiful, as per! I really like the dimension and interest the diamonds give across the focal panel – stunning :)
I’m new with this craft, so I’ve been hopping around the internet watching the tutorials to learn how to use the equipment I’ve spent mega bucks buying. Your tutorials have helped me tremendously! I especially enjoyed the ones using the punches. Your directions are very clear. Thanks for taking the time to provide the tutorials. You truly are an inspiration.
