Just A Quickie!

Hi there. Wanted to show you a card I made using something a little different as all the items came from a crafting kit, not something I usually do but the lady who designed the kit is the one and only Becca Feeken (of Amazing Paper Grace). If you haven't heard of her check out her blog 'Amazing Paper Grace'. Everything she does is stunning and always pretty, which I love. If you can have a crafting idol she is mine!

All the card, paper and embellishments were in the kit. The patterened paper was from 7Gypsies. The great thing about the kits she produced was that you got a set of Spellbinders dies, exclusive to Becca and her kits, along with an exclusive set of stamps from Justrite. The beautiful William Morris style patterned squares was one of the stamps and the huge 4 windowed postage frame was one of the dies. The kits came with instructions to make several items and this card was one of them. The only things I altered was the addition of a Spellbinders Banner with Happy Birthday and I also used a sentiment stamp from Waltzing Mouse, another must of mine, instead of the sentiments stamps supplied and added the extra postage die cut to take the sentiment. I also changed the interior of the card to suit the person I'm sending it to.

Sadly Becca has stopped making the kits due to other commitments. You may have seen or even own the Filigree Delights die set she designed for the latest release of Spellbinders and she has some new stamps released this month for Justrite.

 I don't know if the photo shows it well but the colours were quite masculine and I am in fact sending this to a male, although if I had made it the way the kit instructions show it would have had a pearl flourish and a flower where my button is which made it look far more feminine. Hope you like it and check out Amazing Paper Grace if you haven't already. She can't fail to inspire you. Back soon
