Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity!, a personal crafting blog!
who: I'm Becca S, a 60+ year old artisan crafting blogger and former teacher. May has always been a busy month for celebrating moms and grandmothers and then many family birthdays including my sister who is just over 11 months younger than me! Only 21 days shy of a calendar year between us!!!!
She did better in crocheting whereas for me, completing a Granny square was always a triumph! Even with the difficulties of being left-handed, I am the better sewer/sewist. :)
where: this post is for my newest DT member commitment for Deanne's Paper-Rocks-Scissors;
when: #16 launches on May 2, 2026
why: #16 theme is anything goes using paper &/or scissors
what: "Just a note" small card; this might be sent to 1 of 2 cousins of my dad that are still living (the oldest is 99 and the other is maybe 91-92); I've been trying to mail them a holiday or seasonal card every 4-6 weeks to help cheer them on.
and
inside view:
how: cardstocks/papers = solid green + spring plant print CS + white index card
scissors = to cut all CS/paper after measured + to cut cording
1. pastel green CS (is not quite half of a full sheet) = Colorbok pastel CS pad
2. spring plant print CS panel cut to about 3.75" x 3" = Breathe & Bloom-07 by P13; made in Poland, 2025; acquired through Office Supply website
3. Walnut/brown mini stamp pad = Lawn Fawn
4. yellow cording = Crafter's Square (sold in 3 color set)
5. the partial notecard = Jot
6. the green print washi tape = Farmstead Harvest washi tape set by American Crafts

Hello, Brenda!!! I appreciate several from Allsorts DT stopping by!! The credit goes to that floral/leafy print paper and pairing it with the Granny Smith green cardstock base!!
DeleteLove the gentle spring feeling in your small note card, and the leafy collage paper paired with the soft green base creates a fresh, uplifting look while the simple cording and washi strip add just the right amount of texture to keep everything balanced and charming.
ReplyDeleteHello, Lisa!!! I appreciate your time spent at my blog!
DeleteWhat wonderful designer paper—featuring such a beautiful, spring-like botanical motif! And you have crafted a truly enchanting card with it. The coloring of the edges is very pretty, as is the lovely shade of the base paper. I love the ribbon on the left side—it lends a wonderful lightness to your card.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your card with us as part of the current “Do-Al(l) Kreatives" challenge.
