Can I just tell you that I think this is my very, very favorite Quietfire Sentiment . . . that is until the next set of stamps comes out he…he…. Seriously, I have been waiting to ink this stamp up and then I remembered this lovely print paper I had been holding aside for a special occasion. So here it is – the stamps is called "When You Get to the End".
The sentiment is large enough to be the focal part of the card, so I decided to do port holes with ribbon down the left side of the card to balance it out a bit. I filled some of the bottom with a panel of pearls across the bottom. The ribbon in the port holes is secured at the top and bottom and then each piece of ribbon is tied around the vertically secured ribbon. If you are so inclined you can glue a bow there, I’m partial to actually tying them on to something.
Tip: This is a 5" x 7" card, and my preference is for top hinged cards – many have asked how I do that. I used an 8 1/2 x 11" sheet of paper, cut landscape at 5" and 10" giving two panels that are 8.5" x 5". One of the panels is cut down to 7" x 5" and the other panel is scored at 7" along the short side and the flap folded down along the back. I then glue that flap on top of 7" x 5" panel. It gives me a seam on the inside, back panel of the card which is high enough it can easily be covered with a border.

Be blessed my friends. I’m looking forward to next week and hope you stop by to see me.
This is spectacular Becca! I’m so glad you like that quote! It niggled away at me for years before I finally did it! I don’t know why I waited so long. I guess I was waiting for you. You have made a card of great beauty with it. Thank you.
Wow Becca…this card is off the charts. You are a total inspiration.
Oh one of my favourite sentiments too. It is lovely to see how you use them on your cards, sometimes we don’t seem to be able to get the best out of these wonderful sentiment stamps. You show us the way Becca,
My son got married on 27th August and I bought some stamps from Quietfire on your recommendation, everyone loved the card. Bless you. xx
This is so beautiful. Where do I find these stamps? I just love your website but wonder where to get the stamps
Carol, oops . . . I didn’t have the links in when you read the post but they are in now :) The stamps are Quietfire Design. That particular stamp is HERE.
Gorgeous is not a big enough word for your card!! Absolutely love the sentiment!
Becca,
I absolutely LOVE this elegant card. Every time I think you’ve made the best I’ve seen, you seem to top it off with another one of your fabulous designs. Everything about this one just flows together so smoothly. I’ve not seen the sentiment before and must agree with you in that it is probably the best ever written…and it’s for a stamp!!
Fabulous sentiment, fabulous card :D
Fantastic Becca!!!

This is gorgeous Becca! You’re not going to believe this, but I was at JoAnn’s a few hours ago and bought that DP paper! LOL . . . we must have similar tastes. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it.
Wow this card is beautiful!!!
And for me the scentiment is oh so true.
I HAD to learn how to fly .
Am amazed at how you can top your self with each card. Would like to know how you did the “port holes”.
Wow,Wow, AMazing card.
You truly are an amazing artist.
Your cards are always over the top.
Into my favs with the rest of your awesome cards.
wow, you’ve come up with another tecnique that i am going to have to make my own. i love the porthole effect. maybe i can get the stuff centered. gives me something to work on.
Amazing, as in Grace…your creations are very elegant and soothing to the eye! The softness of this card, along with the sentiment should be put in a frame!
Oh, this is amazing! I *LOVE* what you did with the ribbon! The colors, the sentiment… it’s all so gorgeous. Your talent seriously rocks my world!
Oh my, that’s pretty. Love the portholes, and the sentiment. At first when I read your tip about making your card that size I thought,”Huh?”
But after re-reading it, the light bulb went on, and I thought , “Oh, now I get it! Cool!” Having the shot of the card slightly opened helped me see how you did that with the border inside. Thanks for sharing your tips along with your gorgeous cards.
Absolutely amazing Becca! LOVE the port holes with bows! Great sentiment!!!
I’m speechless over this beauty, Becca!! Seriously amazing, girl! Love that ribbon treatment!
This is gorgeous and a fabulous layout. Love the circles/ribbon treatment.
Love the “portholes”. Extremely elegant and graceful card. Always a joy to see what you’ve come up with.
You did such an elegant job on this one. I really like the circles and the ribbon tied within those circles. Great Job!
Stunning Becca!! Love the kraft and your unique and elegant ribbon treatment!!
Becca this card is so elegant…but I think all your cards are elegant. I really liked how you used the sentiment as the focal point and the ribbon treatment is just so awesome. Thanks for sharing with us. :)

~~Diane~~
so pretty, love the sentiment and the neat way you attached the ribbon!
Amazing! Just love how you can take the most beautiful words and send them to the heavens. The port hole ribbons are perfect!
[…] are from Quietfire Design. Each letter is overstamped using the same stamp used on my card yesterday (When You Get to the End). Next I stamped the sentiment called Fill Your Paper, on […]
Good evenig, Becca- awesome card- the mechanics are out of this world – will have to try this technique – and the sentiment is just lovely.
What stunning card and I LOVE the verse! The words of encouragement are wonderful! :) Michelle
Becca,
This card is absolutely gorgeous! I love it when you make windows and pull bows through them! Someday I may actually try to do that.
Hugs,
Lisa Atha
Becca, This ia a beautiful card. I would love to learn how to do this top hinged card but duhhh… I don’t understand your explanation. How about a tutorial ? It would be much appreciated.
Thank you, Judy
Just lovely!
