Today I am introducing the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for December 2020, Rose Garden Promise.
Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace sent me these beautiful dies to create with.
Becca shares her inspiration for this 5×7-inch frame-worthy card front that resembles the look of stained glass. She says, “ ‘God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December,’ a quote by James M Barrie. It is precisely that quote that inspired me to think of roses at the end of the year. It has much to do with the promise of an approaching spring, buds bursting forward, and the gift of hope. As one who loves rituals, I finished off 2019 with a die template that featured roses and decided it was worthwhile to pay them homage at the end of 2020.”
Isn’t it only fitting to go forward with hope for the future and for new and worthwhile things that will break through. From the entire Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team, let this be a beautiful end to your year; we hope that through making, it brings with it the bonus of lovely memories.
We want to inspire you with different combinations using the December Die of the Month,Rose Garden Promise etched die. These are a few of our ideas!

My Projects Today using Rose Garden Promise
I have made a card and a frame using the Rose Garden Promise Die. For the card I have die cut the frame from gold cardstock and then for the rose and leaf insets I have coloured the images with pink and green inks before removing them from the die. I have also used the beautiful Amazing Paper Grace Diamonetta Background Glimmer Hot Foil Plate from Delicate Impressions Collection by Becca Feeken as a background to add handcrafted flowers and a hot foiled sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Heart Melt Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set from Delicate Impressions Collection by Becca Feeken.
For the frame I have used the wonderful Amazing Paper Grace Adjustable Shadowbox Frame with 1/2″ Border Etched Dies Shadowbox by Becca Feeken to create a frame and then added the trimmed flowers and leaves from the Rose Garden Promise die. For the middle of the frame I have added a background using the Amazing Paper Grace Diamonetta Background Glimmer Hot Foil Plate from Delicate Impressions Collection by Becca Feeken. I have added a gold frame from the Amazing Paper Grace Double Halo Oval Etched Dies 3D Vignette Mini Album Collection by Becca Feeken. The corner dies are from the Amazing Paper Grace Callista Rectangle Shadowbox Frame Etched Dies Shadowbox by Becca Feeken.
Designer Tip:
Colour the images before removing the die from the plates.

I always get great pleasure from looking at what you create. You have a wonderful creative talent!!! These makes are spectacular, romantic eye-catchers! I really am inspired to use my glimmer plate too for backdrop of a frame. I had wanted to attempt a back-lit picture frame and put last year’s picture of the Christmas table and also try my hand at making a nutcracker spinner card for the kids. Thanks for the joyful and fun look at your site. Looking forward to the New Year’s APGDOM makes from you!
Thank you so much for your kind words and your picture frame sounds wonderful and I am sure your children will love your spinner card. Take care and have a good Christmas xxx
