Amazing Paper Grace Fluted Classics Intro Blog Hop

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment


Within the various collection introductions, Amazing Paper Grace has included sets that were inspired by classic sewing motifs. The Fluted Classics Collection is another wonderful layering shape set with ticking designs reminiscent of the blanket stitch on its edges! Nest the outer and inner rims with the insert to cut a tailored frame or for a beautiful background edge to any layering design. Keep it simple and you can cut a solid shape with just an outer rim. The Fluted Classics come in circle, square, oval, and rectangle shapes. We’ve also added a slimline version for those card makers who want to create an elegant and trendy silhouette.

Today’s projects were created with dies provided by Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace.

My Projects for Today

For my projects today I have made an elegant Christmas card featuring a white and gold colour combination. The gold fluted circles work so well with some older Becca Feeken collections – links below.

I have also made some circle tags that would be so easy to mass produce in a wide range of colours for a personalised Christmas gift.

Designers Tip:

The Fluted Classics dies can be mixed and matched with older Amazing Paper Grace collections.

My Projects for Today

For my project today I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Scalloped Symphony Notecard Etched Dies from Sweet Serenade Notecards Collection by Becca Feeken to create a soft and romantic wedding card full of hearts and tiaras.

The hearts in the centre decorative circle die from the Amazing Paper Grace Scalloped Symphony Notecard Etched Dies from Sweet Serenade Notecards Collection by Becca Feeken meant this card had to be a beautiful soft romantic wedding card. To enhance the hearts motif I have paper pierced the hearts over the holographic card base. Even the decorative ends using the dies fron the Amazing Paper Grace Perfect Harmony Notecard Embellishments Etched Dies from Sweet Serenade Notecards Collection by Becca Feeken look like tiaras with the holographic card behind the dies. To complete the card I have made the roses using the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched Dies Candlewick Sampler Collection by Becca Feeken and embellished with some filler flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken.

The sentiment is from the Spellbinders Mini Everyday Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plates.

Amazing Paper Grace Bugs and Butterflies

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Kia Ora Koutou

Summer is just around the corner here in New Zealand and the flowers are starting to bloom and the bugs and butterflies are coming out to play. My inspiration for my card today is a garden full of flowers with bees, ladybugs and butterflies flying lazily in the sunshine.

I have used a number of Amazing Paper Grace dies to create my card and there is a list of dies used at the end of the post.

I have hot foiled the insect wings on acetate for a more ephemeral feel to the wings. I was really happy how they turned out.

The foamiran flowers are made using the Grand Cinch and Go Etched Dies.

The butterfly is Spellbinders Glimmering Butterflies Hot Foil Plate.
