Amazing Paper Grace Holiday Medley – Silver Bells Dimensional Doily

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

This magical menagerie of dies helps celebrate one of the most festive times of the year through paper crafting! The Holiday Medley Collection consists of eight die sets and a Glimmer Hot Foil Plate Set that coordinates with one of the die sets. The array of dies can be mixed within existing die sets to offer more creative options. These include the Make a Scene Card Base and 3D Vignettes. The versatile new Merry Filigree Card Builder, Celebrate Scrollwork Card Builder and Joy Crescent Card Builder sets create different card formats from A2, A7, Mini Slimline, to Slimline. In addition, you can remove the Christmas Motifs and use them year-round.

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

My Project for Today

For my card today I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Silver Bells Dimensional Doily Etched Dies from the Holiday Medley Collection by Becca Feeken decorated with a pretty poinsettia in blue. I am loving the soft blue and white combo with a splash of lime green leaves. The sentiment is from the Amazing Paper Grace Jingle Word Frame Etched Dies from the Holiday Medley Collection by Becca Feeken and the leaves are from the very versatile Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken.

Amazing Paper Grace September Die of the Month Blog Hop – Pop Up 3D Vignette Vintage Cash Register

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations4 Comments

Cha-ching!  Is there any living person that hasn’t absolutely been intrigued by a Cash Register and all of its compartments and treasure it holds inside?  As kids, it’s one of the first grown up toys we played with.  The sound of a cash register ringing means prosperity and so many good things.  Say welcome to the Amazing Paper Grace September 2021 Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Vignette Vintage Cash Register.   

The light-hearted, pun-filled sentiments are perfect for any occasion, to send this 3D Fold Flat card.  Want to let someone know how valuable they are to you? Then the “Priceless” sentiment will say that loud and clear.  Want to express your opinion?  Then actually you’re looking for the “Just My .02” sentiment.  It’s so cute, there’s even a front drawer where you can actually fold and put in some currency. 

Here are some ideas that might inspire you to create:

1. Make the traditional cash register and stock it with gift cards

2. Make a basket from both facades for donations or as a friendly tip jar

3. Are you in the middle of a fundraiser?  Use it as a table favor to break the ice.

4. Create a mini album with a cash register on the front and back for kids to record their savings 

***Dies for my creations today were supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.
