Beautiful card front sentiments do the heavy lifting on a card and the recipient knows exactly what you are trying to say. In that spirit, today we are introducing a new collection called Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes. It spins beautiful, intertwined calligraphic words into a compact label shape, perfect for the front of your card.

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

Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Inspiration

Many Amazing Paper Grace followers were so thrilled when the first 3D Vignettes with word inserts came out. Over time, our followers have asked for a greater variety of words to fit into the 3D Vignette apertures. Your wish is our command!

Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection

The Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection is made up of 7 different die sets and a stamp set. Most sets contain a sentiment and a filigree background layer. Each set makes it quite easy to produce a complete card. The bonus is the sentiment shapes each match an existing 3D Vignette. Along with being able to complete a card, the new sentiments will allow another sentiment to existing 3D Vignettes already in your stash. Romantic Chargeour works with all the sentiments.

Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection also contains an “inside” sentiment set that matches the thought on the outside of the card. To top off the collection we’ve included Petite Floral Potpourri. It’s a compilation of all the small flowers and leaves that are most requested by our community.

My Projects for Today

For my projects I’m using the Amazing Paper Grace Happy Anniversary Vignette Etched Dies from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken decorated with some pretty flowers made with the gorgeous flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken.

For my card I have layered silver, pink and white card for a base and then layered the sentiment dies using the same colour combination. To finish the card front I have added some handcrafted flowers made using the flowers and leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken.

Inside the card I have used a similar combination of layered pink, silver and white to layer the backgrounds and then I have using the outer decorative dies as a base for this lovely sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Beautiful Inside and Out Sentiments Clear Stamp from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken.

For my 3D vignette card I paired the Amazing Paper Grace Happy Anniversary Vignette Etched Dies from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken with the coordinating Amazing Paper Grace Grand Dome 3D Card Etched Dies Elegant 3D Vignettes by Becca Feeken have layered the decorative dies with pink cardstock before assembling with a silver back. I have layered the pink sentiment on the white background and added it to the last panel before the silver background.

I have added the flowers to the front and two middle layers to create a feeling of depth and dimension to the 3D vignette.

Designers Tip:

Stack two or more sentiment dies together to create dimension to the sentiment.

Last October we introduced Cardlets and they are back in Sweet Cardlets II!  A “Cardlet” is a small character motif that comes with a sentiment that fits within a  3 x 3 area and has a matching die.  It just so happens that this size is perfect for the ever-popular Slimline Cards.  Join us in introducing a new slimline as well – Hemstitch Slimline – it will match Hemstitch Rectangles and all of the other Hemstitch Classics.  

I am thrilled to partner with Amazing Paper Grace to bring you this little taste of inspiration!

Sweet Cardlets are just like stamps, but they are metal plates used in the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System to transfer foil to paper through a combination of heat and pressure.  The Glimmer machine base is rolled through your die-cut machine to deliver that pressure. (Compatibility charts on the Spellbinders website)

The Inspiration behind Sweet Cardlets II

Since we are premiering the first Slimline Card Die for the Amazing Paper Grace line of dies, we wanted you to have plenty of sweet elements that fit onto the slimline.  The small motif 3″ x 3″ footprint makes this easy.  Add to that there is a matching die it makes for a cute pop of dimension on all of your cards – Slimline, A2 or A7.

Always mindful of the budget, Becca wanted to create a collection where each set is all you need to make a little card.  Sweet Cardlets are small motifs with a 3″ x 3″ footprint.  Sweet Cardlets also fit into the Cascade Card Base and work along with all of the Shadowbox Dies.

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

My Projects for Today

Today I have a sweet card for you featuring the gorgeous Amazing Paper Grace Cup of Kindness Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set from Sweet Cardlets II Collection by Becca Feeken. I do enjoy a lovely cup of tea with my breakfast!

For my card I have teamed the Cup of Kindness dies with the gorgeous Amazing Paper Grace Petite Picot Square Etched Dies by Becca Feeken. I have trimmed the scallop edge foiled image to stand out against the white picot edges of the square dies. For the the tea pot and cup I have foiled the images using Iris cardstock and coloured the images with Zig Clean Colour Brush Markers.

The flowers are handcrafted using the Amazing Paper Grace and I have a tutorial on the Amazing Paper Grace -Encouragement Group. I have used Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go V Etched Dies Vintage Treasures by Becca Feeken, Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Cottage Flowers Etched Dies 3D Vignette Mini Album Collection by Becca Feeken and the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – March 2020 Elegant Infinity.

Designers Tip:

This Sweet Cardlets II collection works really well with all the Amazing Paper Grace square dies.

My Projects for Today

Today I have an inspirational card for you featuring the gorgeous Amazing Shine Your Light Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set from Sweet Cardlets II Collection by Becca FeekenI.

For my card have foiled the lightouse image using Iris cardstock and coloured the image with Zig Clean Colour Brush Markers. I then added the painted lighthouse in front of a halo that I created by sponging some yellow and blue ink to the circlular rays on the background image to give the impression of light emitting from the lighthouse. I thought the round elegant twist from the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Twist Circles Etched Dies from the Elegant Twist Collection by Becca Feeken added to the nautical theme of the card. To finish the nautical theme I have added some sand effects with gauze and some Minnie Pearl Prills.

To complete the card I have added some elegant corners from the Amazing Paper Grace Callista Rectangle Shadowbox Frame Etched Dies Shadowbox by Becca Feeken.

Designers Tip:

Add dimension to the lighthouse by die cutting three plain background dies, adhere to together and then adhere the painted image.
