Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!
why: this posting focuses on my latest design team project for Deanne's Paper Rocks Scissors, a challenges blog. The theme is easy: use anything paper and/or use scissors. This is an unusual card with me using 2 of cardstocks stitched together (came this way) in a unique way--reversed and then punched the circle opening, taped/adhered together after I had done the inking for that center circle area.
Deckle-edged scissors were used to trim the perimeter on the base white CS panel after I inked it.
Regular scissors were used to cut the cording ends. And not shown, dual-sided adhesive tape strips were cut to length to glue the layers together.
when: #14 will start March 2, 2026 and be open for the month
what: Project #1 =
how-to & vendor notes for #1 =
1. white CS base panel = old stash item = came in a scraps pack = Crafter's Square
2. Guava mini stamp pad = Lawn Fawn; stamp pad was applied in different directions multiple times to saturate the white CS layers
3. Gray + white + pink floral 'recipe card' style panel came stitched with a smaller white CS panel (like a flap); I reversed it (if you look close at the stitching you'll be able to tell) and punched a circle from the center of that floral layer; the exposed area on that white CS stitched panel was inked like the base layer; stamped with 'HELLO'; all layers adhered to the base panel; enamel dots added; cording tied on the side = GWP color floral recipe card with stitched white CS flap/layer is from Round Trip stationery pack by Maggie Holmes 2021/American Crafts
4. enamel dots = same pack = Simple Stories
5. orange and white cording = came in a 3-color pack = Crafter's Square
6. black stamp pad = Hero Arts
