You Are The Best


Hello there blog friends!  Busy month!  I haven’t been here to blog but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been working :-)  In fact, my new kit (October’s Kit) will be out tomorrow and it features new stamps and a new die template.  If you get a chance, be sure to come by tomorrow – this month there are extra kits that can be purchased without having to get a membership.  It’s a great opportunity to try before you buy a membership but there are a limited number – just sayin’.  So, I have been crafting and in fact I have a card to share today made with a new Lace Background Stamp by JustRite Papercrafts.  I stamped it onto gingham design paper and layered it on top of Spellbinders™ Resplendent Rectangles for a fancy border.  Now the die is not big enough to border the entire panel so I simply cut it twice.  Make it work, right?  Stretch those dies, you know it!!  My card size if 5.5″ x 7″ which is my favorite size these days and it just so happens that’s the size of the Spellbinders™ Grand Large Labels I used to make the card base – one of my favorites because it’s just the right size.  

For the beautiful sentiment I pulled from the new JustRite Grand Sentiments set and it fits perfectly on Spellbinders™ Decorative Labels Eight.   I finished off with pearls, a white seam binding bow and a prima rose that I peeled down to be the size I needed :-)

SUPPLIES I USED
Stamps: JustRite PapercraftsGrand Sentiments, Lace Background
Paper: Girls Paperie, Bazzill
Ink: Victorian Velvet Distress Ink
Accessories:  Spellbinders™ Resplendent RectanglesSpellbinders™ Grand Large LabelsSpellbinders™ Decorative Labels Eightseam binding, prima rose,  Recollections Pearls, Zva Creative Pearls

Hugs to you all, thanks for stopping by today — see ya tomorrow :-)

    Hi Becca! Gosh, I’ve missed you! Do you even realize how much you mean to those of us who have not even met you personally?? My daughter and I were just talking yesterday that we missed your posts.

    I absolutely love this card; pink is becoming my favorite color – thanks to you! ( -: I was trying to see where you actually cut the Resplendent Rectangle but could not even detect that it was cut. Another card for my future stash!

    Love,
    RheaReplyCancel

  • cindy ClickSeptember 14, 2012 - 5:59 pm

    I just ordered the new lace stamp. I just love your card and would have never thought to stamp it on gingham! Although you often cost me money (because I have to buy all your supplies used!), but you also show us how to stretch our old supplies, like the gingham idea. You have been missed-but don’t work to hard. We want a healthy, rested Becca!!
    Hugs,
