Graceful Borders and Graceful Frame Maker were influenced by the polish and professionalism of a hung frames and prints and the glamour of ornate decorative edgings that surround them. From the wall to the page, I thought cards would be the perfect canvas for borders fashioned into frames – it’s the perfect way to highlight a sentiment or special memory.

Hi there blog friends, I'm back with a card today. The occasion is one I don't want to trumpet but this the very reason we make cards, right? While I was away I learned of a death in the family of an acquaintance, so I took some time out to pay respects. At first I thought it might be crass to…

Ah yes, a much calmer evening. I stole away to my studio after an early dinner and tinkered around with a couple of new things that I have laying out for inspiration. The first thing I pulled out for this card was the cardstock and the rest of the elements fell into place. …
It has been a glorious weekend with weather that is starting to give me a full blown case of spring fever. I was inside for a bit to play with toys and I pulled out a set of stamp pads that have graced my shelf, unopened, for more than two years. I had fallen in love with {the…

Becca Feeken: Cardmaking, Crafting & Diecut Tutorials
Welcome back friends! Today I’m excited to share the new Home Sweet Quilt Collection by Becca Feeken. The cozy quilt designs in this collection are perfect for sending warm hugs at any time of year! I used the new Layered Windmill Die Set to create this pretty winter card, but be sure to check out the additional springtime samples below. I started by cutting Indigo Cardstock using the outline, insert, and small flourished triangle dies from the Layered Windmill Die Set and white cardstock using only the outline die. Then I chose several patterned papers from the Snowed In 6x6 Paper Pad and cut them using the insert die from the set. Once I had adhered the Indigo outline to the white solid backer die-cut with liquid glue, I could just piece the patterned paper or solid cardstock pieces back in with more liquid glue. I embossed a piece of Raindrop Cardstock with the Orange Peel Quilt 3D Embossing Folder before adhering it to a top-folding 5.5-square white card base with tape runner. After adding the quilt piece on top with foam adhesive, I stamped a greeting from the Quilty Hugs Sentiment Stamp Set in blue ink and popped it up on top of the card along with a pretty flower cut with the Be Bold Blooms Die Set. And here are three more projects I made using some of the other quilt designs in the collection. For the first, I ink blended a panel before cutting it with the French Braid Panel Die Set and adding flowers cut with the Be Bold Blooms Die Set and a sentiment foiled with the Be Bold Glimmer Sentiments Plate Set. Next, I cut several different green and blue cardstocks using the Flower Mini Quilts Die Set and added it to a background embossed with the Orange Peel Quilt 3D Embossing Folder for a simple, more masculine friendship card. Lastly, I cut pretty patterned paper with the Patchwork Petals Die Set and added an embossed background (Loops Embossing Folder) and sweet sentiment from the Quilty Hugs Sentiments Stamp Set. You can find all of the details on these projects over on the Spellbinders Blog by clicking here! I hope you enjoyed these fun cards and thanks so much for stopping by today.
