I am so excited to share a card with you that I have created using a combination of beautiful dies from Amazing Paper Grace. I love white on white cards and the soft white flowers and green leaves made this perfect for a sympathy card.
I have made the large flowers and leaves using the flowers from the Texture Flowers die which has been retired from Spellbinders. The small flowers are from the Isadora Trinkets die.
I hope that I have inspired you to start mixing and matching the Amazing Paper Grace dies.

I am soo excited to announce that I have been selected for the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team. This is a dream come true for me as I have been a massive fan of Becca Feeken and her beautiful and elegant dies for some time. I am so humbled to be in this team alongside the most talented paper crafters that I have followed and admired for so long.
To celebrate I have made a card mixing up some of my favourite Amazing Paper Grace dies – Candlewick Rectangles, Hemstitch Rectangles and Emmeline Treillage dies for a very simple yet elegant card. The sentiment is from the Sentiments One set.
This card was incredibly easy to make with these layering dies and great for weddings, birthdays and other special occasions.
