Don’t you love interactive cards? Amazing Paper Grace has added the Garden Shutters Collection for another fun element of motion. It creates a beautiful card and with one pull of a tab, the shutters open to reveal a delightful surprise sentiment on the other side! There are two card base sizes, A2 and 5 x 7-inch, to choose from. Each card base set has all the elements you need to assemble and embellish a card! Which catches your eye? 

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

My Project for Today

I have made a pretty interactive card using the new Amazing Paper Grace Daisy Delight Garden Shutters A2 Card Base Etched Dies from the Garden Shutters Collection by Becca Feeken.

I have created a frame using the Amazing Paper Grace Fluted Classics Rectangles Etched Dies from the Fluted Classics Collection by Becca Feeken and the Amazing Paper Grace Picot Petite Rectangles Etched Dies Picot Petite Collection from Amazing Paper Grace by Becca Feeken and then added the interactive mechanism to create the shutter card.

I really love the lattice inserts and thought they would be gorgeous as a back drop to handmade daisies using the dies that come with the set combined with Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go V flowers. Can you spot a sweet little bee from the Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Cardlets set? I really love making wings by hot foiling the wings on clear acetate and then die cutting them before adding them to the bee.

For a tutorial on how I have made these three dimensional flowers please go to the Amazing Paper Grace Encouragement Group.

Designers Tip:

In order to fit the birthday sentiments I angled the sentiments on the shutters and trimmed between ‘birth’ and ‘day’ in order to fit them on the shutters.
