So Happy Autumn is Here!

September 28, 2011 by Rebecca Wagner 10 Comments

Even though I am happy that Autumn is finally here, I couldn’t resist making this card with the beautiful Black-Eyed Susan file from SVGs by Bee.  It’s actually a border but I thought it would look cute as a shaped card.

It was actually a pretty simple card.  I just bought the flower file to the mat in Make the Cut and did a shadow with blackout.  Then I did a shadow of the shadow to make the base.  If you need a visual on how to make shaped cards, here is a video I found to give you the general idea.  I don’t think it is with the latest version of the software but it would be the same process.

Here’s a close-up of the pretty flowers with my favorite twine.  I have no idea where the stamp came from because a friend of mine picked it up at a yard sale.  Thank you Terri!  See, I knew I would use it for something.  The blue background was embossed on my Sizzix Big Shot with the Dot Daisies plate.

As you can see, while taking pictures, the old man decided to see why I was sitting on the porch.  Who knew dogs were so nosy?  My Great Dane was also there but cowering in the corner.  She is scared if you have anything pointed at her and I had my camera.  Done deal, she was keeping away from me.  At least she didn’t get into the pictures too!

Supplies:

Kraft cardstock (base)
Recollections (flowers, blue background, tag & eyelets)
Trendy Twine in Blue Berry

Hope you enjoyed and happy crafting!

Update on the old man Curry – we had to put him to sleep on October 1, 2012. He is terribly missed.

    I am in love with this card Becki! You did an amazing job with the colors you chose and especially like how you alternated the colors on the petals and it looks like you added some chalk to them too! Belinda is such a lucky lady to have you designing with her super cute files!!!

So, I did a thing. Working on a pain point for Per So, I did a thing. Working on a pain point for Personal size. This is for those of you who think it’s too narrow but don’t want to purchase a new PW binder. Franklin Covey Compact is the next best thing. 

If you have a FFC binder already, we now will have refills for you too!

Foil lovers... we heard you. Since our foil equi Foil lovers... we heard you. 

Since our foil equipment went down, the messages and emails have not stopped. We know how much you love the look and honestly we love it too.

Replacing commercial foil equipment runs into the tens of thousands of dollars and, like a lot of small businesses right now, that's just not realistic. 

After months of testing with our existing setup, we think we found a way to bring foil back.

It's not mass factory perfect. Occasionally there may be a tiny spot where the foil doesn't pull 100%. Nothing obvious, nothing we wouldn't personally use, and nothing that doesn't meet our standards will ship.

But overall? We think it looks pretty gorgeous.

Before we officially bring foil back…

Would you still want it knowing it's handcrafted and not machine perfect? 

Tell me honestly in the comments. Your feedback will decide this one.

Good news: when everything’s written down, at least the chaos is organized.

Pay it. Check it off. Pretend you’re thriving.

Personal Size planners get a bad rap for one reaso Personal Size planners get a bad rap for one reason…

They’re narrow.

And I get it.
Personal is the perfect middle ground. Bigger than Pocket, fits in your purse, but way more portable than A5.

But the width?
That’s always been the complaint.

Lately I’ve been seeing people try to squeeze Personal Wide into standard Personal binders… and then wonder why the pages stick out.

So instead of making it wider… I went the other direction.

Foldouts.

For 2026, I reworked the layout to give you more planning space without changing the footprint.

Month on one page
Straight into your weekly
Dashboard space (because you know I had to keep that)
And when it’s folded?
Standard Personal Size. Fits your binder like it should.

Now I need your opinion before I finalize this…

What works better in vertical boxes?
