Amazing Paper Grace Fall Label Motifs

On February 6, 2023February 3, 2023 By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

We are in the middle of summer in New Zealand but Autumn (or Fall) is not far away with beautiful autumn foliage and the harvest of the summer with acorns, berries and pumpkins. Today I am sharing a card made with the beautiful Amazing Paper Grace Fall Label Motifs Etched Dies by Becca Feeken. Once again Becca shows an impeccable eye for detail in the gorgeous leaves, berries, pumpkins and acorns. This card reminds me of walking through all the fallen leaves in autumn and watching my cat dancing trying the catch the leaves floating in the air. I smell the scent of fires burning and feel the cold chill in the air knowing that colder weather is coming.

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.

My Project:

I have created a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card base and added a layer of gold cardstock. I have added another layer 1/8″ smaller from white cardstock to the front. I have then added an older Amazing Paper Grace die – Callista Rectangle Shadow Box Die by Becca Feeken to create a pretty texture to the background of the motif. I have die cut the outer label in gold cardstock and two inner decorative motifs in gold and white cardstock. The white decorative motif has been added over the gold decorative motif and slightly offset to allow a glint of gold. I have added the decorative layer to a white background and then added this to the gold motif and added it to the front of the card.

For the leaves and pumpkin motif embellishments I have die cut them out of coloured cardstock and then coloured them with Distress Oxide inks. Because the finish on the leaves looked chalky I added some 3D Crystal Lacquer to them to make them look like they have been caught in autumn rains. I added 3D Crystal Lacquer to the berries to give more dimension.

I stamped the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Seasonal Motif Sentiments Clear Stamp Set from Seasonal Label Motifs Collection by Becca Feeken in black ink on some scrap paper and die cut it out with the sentiment strip die from the Amazing Paper Grace All Occasions Sentiments Etched Dies by Becca Feeken and adhered it to the right of the leaves as shown.

To finish I have added some gold gems.

The orange leaves have been coloured with Mowed Lawn and Spiced Marmalade inks.

The orange pumpkin has been coloured with Mowed Lawn at the base and the rest with Spiced Marmalade. The green at the top of the pumpkin was coloured with Spiced Marmalade and Mowed Lawn at the top of the tendril.

The green leaves have been coloured with Spiced Marmalade and Mowed Lawn.

Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignette Retro TV

On January 30, 2023January 30, 2023 By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

I have another bright and cheerful card to share with you today with a real groovy feel. My card today showcases the fabulous Amazing Paper Grace 3D Retro TV Vignette Etched Dies by Becca Feeken from the Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken. I love the attention to detail with this set and it reminds me of the television in the movie Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the original movie with Gene Wilder) where the little boy gets pulled into the television. This set is just so the 60’s and because I already had the flowers made this card came together very quickly which is always a bonus!

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.

My Project:

My card base is 4 14″ x 5 1/2″ and have used the gorgeous Amazing Paper Grace Filigree Marquis Etched Dies by Becca Feeken as a background for the Amazing Paper Grace 3D Retro TV Vignette Etched Dies by Becca Feeken to sit on top. I have created a shaker element for the screen to add interest to the retro television. To finish the card I have added some handcrafted flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go IV Flower Etched Dies and the leaves are from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies by Becca Feeken. The sentiment is from the Amazing Paper Grace 3D Retro TV Vignette Etched Dies by Becca Feeken.

This card is perfect for a masculine card that also features flowers. Men do like flowers and my brother-in-law loved the card which is the main thing.

Sending Amazing Paper Grace Hugs

On January 23, 2023January 22, 2023 By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

I simply can’t get enough of the Amazing Paper Grace The Home Sweet Quilt Collection by Becca Feeken. They are fantastic to add decorative panels to cards and today I have another card for you featuring the Amazing Paper Grace Log Cabin and Flower Mini Quilts Etched Dies by Becca Feeken. I have been inspired for this card by Yasmin Diaz who is an influencer for Spellbinders. She does amazing cards using a white on white theme and I have carried this theme through to my card but of course I had to add my handcrafted flowers and butterflies to make this card my own.

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.

My Project

For my card today I have created a base card of 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ out of Snowdrift cardstock. I have then embossed a piece of 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ piece of Snowdrift cardstock partially at the top and bottom using the Amazing Paper Grace Orange Peel Quilt Embossing Folder. I have heat embossed the sentiment in gold and then adhered the card to the front. I have created the quilted panel using a combination of Snowdrift and gold cardstock from the Amazing Paper Grace Log Cabin and Flower Mini Quilts Etched Dies and adhered the panel to the top of the card front as shown. To finish I have added some handcrafted flowers and leaves made from the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched Dies and a pretty butterfly from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7″ Card Base Etched Dies.

I die cut an extra outline for the quilted panel to create extra depth and dimension to the quilted panel.

I have scored two lines top and bottom of the embossing to finish the panel for the sentiment.

The butterfly base has been made from vellum coloured with Saltwater Taffy and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide inks to coordinate with the flowers.

I have added some 3D Crystal Lacquer to the flowers and leaves for a shiny finish.

Amazing Paper Grace Quilty Hugs and Daisies

On January 17, 2023January 16, 2023 By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

We are in ‘summer time’ here in New Zealand but since the start of the new year we have had a lot of rain and little sunshine so I thought I would cheer myself up with a bright and summery card using the fabulous Amazing Paper Grace Quilted Stained Glass Window Etched Dies from Home Sweet Quilt Collection by Becca Feeken from the The Home Sweet Quilt Collection. I used a cheerful yellow and white combination and decorated my card with handcrafted daisies and a sweet butterfly. This card certainly brightened my craft room!

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.

My Project:

For my project today I have created a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base from Snowdrift cardstock. I have embossed a piece of 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ Chamomile cardstock using the Amazing Paper Grace Orange Peel Quilt Embossing Folder and layered it on top of the card. I have created a semi-circle using the quilt dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Quilted Stained Glass Window Etched Dies and inlaid with Beeswax and Chamomile to achieve a starburst effect. I have placed this semicircle on my card front and added a lace band to the left using the Amazing Paper Grace Romantic Slimline Borders Etched Dies for my flowers to lie on.

To complete my card I have handcrafted daisies from the Amazing Paper Grace Daisy Delight Garden Shutters A2 Card Base Etched Dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go V flowers and added them to the band on the left of the semi-circle. I added leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motifs Etched Dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – August 2022 Peekaboo Trellis from Rainforest and Peridot cardstock.

No floral card is complete without a butterfly and I have added a sweet butterfly from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7″ Card Base Etched Dies.

Finally I have added the sentiment dies from the mazing Paper Grace Log Cabin and Flower Mini Quilts Etched Dies in gold.

There is a tutorial in the Amazing Paper Grace – Encouragement Community on how I have made these flowers here. If you are not a member feel free to ask to join and don’t forget to answer the questions.

I have used two different colours of yellow to represent the sun.

I have die cut two sentiments – one from Snowdrift and one from gold cardstock and stacked them together with the gold on top before adding them to the card front.
