Hi there friends, happy weekend :-) I’ve been busy with my grown girls and family stuff but happy to take a break to create! Spellbinders 5 x 7 Mystical Embrace is one of my favs and I’ve done a couple of cards with it. This time around instead of the tall portrait orientation I went for the wide landscape orientation. This card is all die cuts – no cutting panels at all, in fact I’ll tell you how it all stacks up. I used a wonderful sentiment from Quietfire Design called You Never Know How Strong You Are.
You can see the inside layers in this picture.
Here’s how I made it – step by step:
I made a card base by gluing two cream die cuts of Mystical Embrace together at the top using Ranger Glossy Accents. (Check out my post HERE to see what that looks like from the back.) Die cut a layer using Spellbinders A2 Floral Ribbon Threader from cream and adhere to base with foam tape. Die Cut a layer using Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics B #5 from gold and top with a die cut layer cut using Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A #4 from cream and adhere with foam tape. Die cut a layer using Spellbinders Elegant Ovals from cream cardstock, stamp sentiment, adhere to base of card. Die cut two Spellbinders Architectural Accents from gold cardstock and attach above and below sentiment with foam tape. On inside of card insert a similar set of panels using Matting Basics B #5 from gold and #4 from cream. Add pearls and bows.

That’s it for me today, thanks so much for stopping by!! By the way, someone asked where they could see the dies and stamps I’ve designed so I gathered them all up in a Pinterest Board HERE. I’d love it if you’d follow me there – it’s a great way to see whole galleries of my cards. In fact, for the stamp sets and dies, if you would be so kind as to like or repin the sets you like to most, it will help me to know what I’m designing next :-) You all are the very best!!
Question Parking Lot
Katherine H on Comment #30 asked about the printer I used. Since there was no printer use on this post, I’ll direct you to the next post where I did actually use a printer and another reader asked the same question. Thanks so much for the question Katherine! Look at the Question Parking Lot on THIS post for the answer!
Absolutely breath taking girl. This is gorgeous!
Amazing!!!! I love your talent.
Becca- this is my favorite card of yours…and that is quite a statement because your cards are always fabulous! A work of beauty!
Love this card using all the elegant die layers. Soft creamy vanilla & gorgeous gold- what a combination! ( I know you said white cardstock in the craft list, but in the post, it appears lusciously vanilla!)
Very pretty!
Oh so pretty!
This is soo beautiful and so elegant Becca. I love the gold, you´ve added to it, it really makes it elegant.
Oh, Becca! You make the most beautiful things! I just love your style! It’s so girly! ;)
Love, blessings and prayers, my friend!

Dear Becca,
This just takes my breath away, it’s so beautiful. And the sentiment is so true, as many of us know.
I’ve missed you, but the wait has been well worth it. I hope you’ve had a lovely break with your family, you deserve it.

Love xx
P.s. I’ve just been in to see the dies and stamps you’ve designed – you’re one clever lady. If I can do what you ask, I will, but I’m no computer wizard so keep your fingers crossed !!
Went to your Pinterest board and if it has your name on it, I bought it. Only a couple I haven’t got.
This is just one more masterpiece to your collection. AWESOME!!
Glad you had a little break but please know we miss you when you are not here with this AMAZING PAPER GRACE.
Hugs

Such a pretty card. You always manage to create the most elegant of cards.
Becca, Absolutely beautiful – as usual!
Hi Becca, love this card. Stunning and oh so elegant, and a lovely sentiment. I cannot believe that you have designed so many stamps and dies. It seems just like yesterday, we were all waiting with expectation, for the very first Amazing Paper Grace stamp to be released! How time flies when having fun! Thanks again for sharing.

Becca, you are sooo talented, I absolutely love following your card-making, and I must thank you for sharing how you store your dies, which I have copied and am so grateful for knowing. One day I will make a card as good as yours, but until then they are staying strictly in the family!!!!
Kindest regards
Hi Becca, This card is so elegant, I’m absolutely loving the curly, wurly focal die-cut, it is very pretty and the sentiment is so poignant. I love this !!
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Good evening Becca,
I always like your filigree cards as they always look stunning and todays is no exception as it is quite exquiste with just the right message on it. I don’t have the ribbon threader die but i do the gorgeous mystical embrace that i fell in love with the minute i seen it. I think because of being spoiled by your creativeness, i now try and make more cards with the die cut shape itself. Thank you Becca for your inspiring designs,
Norah, Glenochil, Scotland
Just fab- fab- fabulous!
Hugs

Hi Becca, your card today was so absolutely beautiful. I noticed with many of your cards you use digital paper…can you please tell me what kind of printer you use to get such beautiful results ?I truly hope you will share your secret…..
Thanks again for your great inspiration.
God Bless,Katherine
Such a beautiful card! No truer sentiment ever. Thank you for sharing!
Elegant and Stunning do not do this card justice! It took my breath away and my jaw is still on the floor! I went to your Pinterest boards and pinned tons but have to go back again for more pinning and perusing pleasure!
I am a fairly new follower but am in total awe over your creations!!
Looking forward to many more of them! TFS!
great die cut and that stamp wording is spot on. Wish those stamps were more accessible here in the UK – hint hint!
Wow, absolutely stunning, that gold gives it such an elegant touch!
Enjoy your family time :)
So delicately beautiful Becca!
Hi Becca,
This is gorgeous, love it.
I shall take a look at your stamps page. Do you do mail order from the States to UK by any chance, or do you have a supplier over her, if not it might be worth thinking about?
Love & Hugs

Oh my gosh, Becca I am so sorry, I did not realize you designed all those Stamps and dies for Justrite, how silly of me, I even have a few lol!!! There’s me asking if you sell any lol!!!
love & Hugs
