Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes I Forever in Our Memory

On By patriciamanhireIn Amazing Paper Grace, Patricia's Creations4 Comments

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 Forever in our Memory Vignette Etched Dies from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken I have decorated the card with some beautiful handmade roses from the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched Dies Candlewick Sampler Collection by Becca Feeken and some filler 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 and white card as a background for the decorative dies. I have added some pearlescent vellum under the dies to create a lovely soft look to the card. To finish I have added some irridescent gems on the flowers and the card.

I have a tutorial on how I have created the roses with watercolour paints on the Amazing Paper Grace – Encouragement Group.

Designers Tip:

Handcrafted flowers make a beautiful addition to the gorgeous layered dies.

For my card I have used the outline decorative die as a stencil and coloured with some inks to match my background cardstock. To finish the stencil look I have embossed the die to make the colours pop out of the background. I have then die cut three sentiment dies and layered them together for more dimension and to make the sentiment stand out. I kept the flowers simple to allow the sentiment be the focus.

Designers Tip:

Be creative with your die cuts and look at using them as stencils.

Amazing Paper Grace July Die of the Month Blog Hop – Pop Up 3D Vignette Home Sweet Home

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations9 Comments

It’s so true that all paths lead home.  It’s during this long stint with the pandemic that many of us have come to realize that it doesn’t matter where you are; it’s the people you are with.  That’s the inspiration that fed into the creation of the July 2021 Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month, Pop Up 3D Vignette Home Sweet Home.  The sentiment that comes within the set says it all – You are My Home.

There’s just something so quaint and sweet about little houses.  They mean so much to us – a place of safety, a place of comfort, a place of love.  It’s only fitting that one should show up as a Mini Vignette!  This card folds flat to fit into an envelope to be sent through the mail.  It beckons you to insert your favorite pictures, a multipage note or sweet nothings on the three panels that rest inside.

Here are some ideas that might inspire you to create:
1.  A mini scrapbook album
2.  A table centerpiece with a house on each side
3.  Separate the small house facade and use it on a card, a scrapbook layout, and beyond!

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

There are 21 dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette Home Sweet Home.

My Project Today using Pop Up 3D Vignette Home Sweet Home.

I have made a a ‘flat’ card and a 3D vignette card and using these dies.I have used

For my ‘flat’ card I have mixed and matched some pretty papers for the base and the house and placed the house on a pretty lace background die – the Amazing Paper Grace Filigree Façade Frame Etched Dies from Make a Scene Collection by Becca Feeken

For my 3D vignette card I have used a slightly different mix of papers but used different colours for my flowers and added them as flowers at the base of the house to create a garden.

Designer Tip:

I found it easier to add the embellishments on the house before putting the front of the house onto the main body of the card.

To finish the card I have added some 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. I have die cut the flowers and leaves using different pastel coloured cardstock and then mixed and matched the colours and different die cuts to create the different flowers.

Have fun mixing and matching colours and dies to create flowers to match your card base.
